DOUGLAS LOSES
TO BADGERS IN
EXCITING GAME

Tucson's team of basketball players
hung a blue moon over the Douglas
quintet last night when the two met
on the Tucson schools floor, the final
whistle leaving the score at 25-a3
favoring the Tucson boys. But that
does not accurately tell the story.
The truth of the matter is that the
Douglas lads, while defeated, made
garrison" finish that would have de-
lighted their supporters could they
have witnessed it, but they didn't fln-
lsh quite fast enough at that, as the
margin of two points tells.
When the half ended, the score
stood 22-11 favoring the Badgers. 1t
was just then that the Douglas Bull
dog got his ire up and went into
the second half with his hair standing
straight up or pointing forward and
the Badger team didn't get away with
anything worth While until the game
was over. During the third quarter
Tucson added three points and then
the Badger was on the run to the
last and not a point did he score.
Meanwhile the Bulldog team kept
adding to its score and by the end
of the final quarter it stood al %,
an even dozen having been added.
during the last half
The gloomy part of the, story was
the fact that those two points were
enough to eliminate the Douglas team
from being. contender for the larger
honors in the district. The tearn,
however, will travel to st. David today
and tonight will play the st. David
team, coming from there home. It
is the hope of the coaches and play
ers that the game tonight will be
win for the Douglas team, thereby
making the trip a $3.50 showing on
results.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
GAME SCHEDULE
IS ANNOUNCED

NEW YORK, Feb. 8 lP-The 1928
National league playing schedule was
formally adopted by the club owners
in session here today, the baseball
season to open ON April IL and close
on September 30.
The campaign gets under way with
Philadelphia at Brooklyn, Boston at
New York, Chicago at Cincinnati and
Pittsburgh at st. Louis. Last year the
season began on April IL and closed
on October 2.
Proposed agreements with minor
leagues providing for increased al
lowances in the drafting of players
together with like clause relating to
umpires we're withdrawn due to the
failure of the minors to ratify these
subjects.
The National league has submitted
a new scale increasing draft prices on
players some time ago which for a
class "AA" club raised the maximum
from $4,000 to $500 per player, and
soon in proportion to the club rating.
AS the minors did not take action, the
club owners voted to discard the pro-

ARMY-NAVY GAME
IS DEFINITELY
ABANDONED 1928

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. R-
Hope for an Army-Navy game this
year was thrown definitely into the
discard tonight, with the announce
ment by Rear Admiral Louis M.
Mutton, superintendent of the naval
academy, that Navy will play with
Princeton on Nov. "a, at Philadel-
phia.
This date had formerly been set
for the occasion OF the annual grid
iron classic between the two serv-
ice schools, but because the ques-
tion of eligibility of players on
West Points team had met with
opposition from naval officials, ath-
letic relationships had been severed
Princeton has accepted the invi-
tation of tho Navy to play the
game at Philadelphia next fall, Adj
miral 'Nulton's statement said, and
i'll addition the two institutions have
entered into a three-year contract.
The game at Philadelphia this
year has definitely eliminated the
Army from Navy's schedule, but in
1929 and 1880, the contract calls
for games to be played late in
October.
This was generally conceded to
indicate that Navy was willing to
resume athletic relationships with
the military academy if West Point
authorities agree to a three-year
eligibility clause (which limits the
number of years of competition stu
dents may participate in varsity
sports.
The contract with Princeton also
states, Admiral Mutton said, that
the games in 1929 and 1880 will be
played at Princeton, which strength
ed the belief that Navy did not
wish to discontinue indefinitely the
annual football game with the
Army.
Admiral Nulton's statement did
not settle the fact that the game
will necessarily be played at Frank
lin Field, although it was believed
that as that stadium had been Sc
lected for the proposed Army-Navy
tussle, it probably would be the site
for the game between Navy and
Princeton.
Athletic relationships between the
two schools were broken off more
than two months ago, when Maj
Gen. E. B. Winans, superintendent
of the military academy, announced
that West Point would not inject a
three-year eligibility clause in the
contract calling for the game with
Navy.
Efforts of Admiral Mutton and
General Winans to settle the dis
pute met with failure after con-
ferences, when it was definitely de-
cided to abandon the !Army-N Navy
game this year.

LOMSKI BEATS
MIKE NC TICUE,
In 10 ROUNDS

NEW YORK, Feb 8 (P)-The come
back cruise of Michael McTigue, per-
ennial challenger, and sometimes
champion in the light heavyweight di-
vision, was halted tonight by the
youthful Leo Lomski, iron -fisted blonde
Slugger from Aberdeen, Wash.
For ten rounds, the tireleSS punch
ing youngster threw everything he had
at McTigue in an effort to bring the
ancient of the prize ring down. The
veteran wobbled, skidded, danced and
SPARED, and although blood streamed
from gashes above his eyes. and his
legs were stiff as stills, Mike was still
on his feet and fighting gamely at the
final gong.
It was a battle of youth, confident,
and old age, easily tired and bereft
of almost everything but the canny
fighting brain that made Mike Nc
Tigue famous. And although Lomski
slashed both of Mixes eyes open in
the fifth round, he could not floor
him.
From the start, the corn-haired
weSterner threw himself into the fray
recklessly, fists pouring in a steady
stream at McTigue's head and body.
Mike blocked and retreated, Tended
and ducked, and saved the right hand
that boWled over a dozen opponents
until the fifth round.
Then as the storm became unbear-
able Mike threw away his caution and
loosed his full punching power on
the failing youngster. One vicious
chop cut Lomski's eye in the fifth, but
both McTigue's eyes were gashed in
the exchange and Leo refused to re-
treat.
From that point on, each round
added to the venerable ones discom-
fort. Carrying an added burden Of
nearly 40 years, Mike was punch
dreamy at the close of the seventh
and eighth sessions, staggering when
the ninth was over and barely navi-
eating, although still struggling
through the motions, when the match
ended
McTigue had a Slight advantage in
the weights, scaling 173h pounds to-
17O1a for Lomski
Make ,Rosenbloom, New York mid
dleweight, defeated his local rival, K.
o. Phil Kaplan, in a bruising eight

Phil's left eye.
The weights we're: Rosenbloom,
1591h; Kaplan, 159.

Aberdeen, Wash, and a stable mate of
Leo Lomski. gained a draw with

u. S. AND MEXICO
ARE PAIRED In
DAVIS CUP PLAY

PARIS, Feb. 3 H9-Mexico will be
the first obstacle to be hurdled by
tennis stars of the United States in
their campaign to recover the Davis
cup, wrested from America by France
last year.
The draw in the American zone,
made at Elysee palace by President
Doumergue today, pits the United
States against Mexico and Japan
against Cuba in the first round.
Drawing a bye in the initial round,
China will face the winner of the
Mexico United States matches, while
Canada, also drawing bye, engages
the survivor of the other first round
encounter.
On the basis Of their 1927 form, Japan
and the United States are regarded as
virtual certainties to clash in the final
of the zone competition
The main strength in the European
zone is in the upper half where the
luck of the draw brings together two
of the strongest challengers in the
first round-AuStralia and Italy The
tennis stars from "doWn under" are re-
turning to Davis cup competition after
two years absence, with a promise of
giving the other zone contenders con-
siderable opposition. Italy was the. only
team in the European zone able to
give France struggle in the prelim-
mary cup play last year, the match
series ending three to two in favor of
the French. Germany, which re-en-
tered the competition last year, draws

YANKEES NOT ASLEEP

The Yankees-those lucky birds,
as the Giants may figure them-got
a jump on the Giants when they
learned that young Mr. Reese
from the Pacific Coast league, who
was bought with little pay for
$125, 900, is a Jewish boy named
Goldsmith and that he was born in
the New York ghetto before his
family got a yer for climate.
You can bet that his name will be
changed, but the mere fact that he
chose to work out west as Reese
may not warm up his people to
him. Sam Bohne, who used to okay
second base for the Cincinnati Reds,
was Jewish and he might have been
worked up into a big card, but the
Jewish people in New York and
Chicago didn't think so much of
him because he didn't use his own
name-Cohen.
The Cleveland Indians recently
signed a Jewish infielder from the
University of Syracuse named Jo-
nah Goldman

most iilustrious of the Jewish ball
players and there is no reason why
