Bis BATTLE
ON TODAY
BY George A. Simpson

An interhigh court champion may
be uncovered when the result Of the
Tech. Central combat Is known. Tech
and Central are tang1ing this after.
noon At ais o'clock at the Arcadia
in a game that should be q heated
fray. Eastern 4 Western are
meeting in the after-piece at 400
o'clock.
The rivals are tied for the leader
ship and today's victor will take the
undisputed lead with the probability
Of the title as we'll Each has q
game apiece remaining on Tuesday.
but today is the big moment for
these foes.
Neither team has any appre-
{ ciabIe edge. Central u the bet
ter passing team, but Tech has
the greater Offense. The Nj.
PIeasanters prefer to work the
ball slowly down the court, FAX
ing B pass or feinting q seCut IN"
to draw the rivals out Of posi-
ton.
The Manual Trainers place their
hopes in such towering fellows a.
Capt. Louis Berger. Thomas Pat
Rooney and Jack Forney. These
are three dangerous lads when they
lunge for the ball under the rivals
goal. Their tremendous height IL
valuable as they can stretch their
huge paws over the heads OF the
defenders and keep pushing the ball
in the direction of the meshes
The winners of today's struggle
will not exactly have snatched the
crown, but a victory would place It
just a step from the coveted prize.
Tech. IL 1t wins, must down Eastern
Tuesday. "A Central triumph would
necessItate another victory over

MAN RIVAL
STARS
By r. D. Thomas

It will be an even money wager
when the King Pin and Conven-
ton Hall teams fight it out at the
King Pin tonight for the District
League leadership. They are tied
In games won and lost, with So
victories and is losses.
Ordinarily, Convention Hall would
be a favorite. On paper its team
appears the stronger But a bit Of
psychology may prove handicap
to AL Gardeners gang. This has to
do with Jack Whalen's hallucina-
ton regarding the King Pin alleys
Convention Halls leading star IS
afflicted with a belief that the King
Pin drives and his nearly perfectly
straight ball were never meant to
coordinate.
The contrary should be true.
The King Pin alleys are about
the fastest in Washington. And
straight balls are supposed to be
all to the good on speedy maple
ways.
Scores in the big battle are likely
TO be below the standard of the
two crack teams, which have been
averaging around $40 game
throughout the campaign.
1t has been a long time since
two District League teams as
closely matched and as hot rivals
in, every way as Convention Hall
and King Pin met under similar
conditions. Every man in the con-
test viii be keyed up to high c
pitch and this state is not consid-
cred the best when the business at
hand is knocking over a. lot of
duckpins.

the crucial match. 1t completely

FUAMENT CIRCUITS CHANGED
FOR ALTERNATING CURRENT

q one.half miorofarad bypass con-
denser,' used to prevent grounding OF
the house lines and causing pos
sible short circuit. Connection of the
filament is by voltage divider, or a
three slapped resistance.
The resistance should be rated at
least 20 ohms and Of a type designed
for alternating current. preferably a
pOtentiometer. This Is connected
across the filament leads with the grid
return. after coming from the con-
denser. attached to the movable arm.
The resistance is adjusted until the AC
hum is at its lowest point.
Transformer Needed.
No rheostats are placed directly in
the fllament circuit. Such units. II
used. are cut into the 1l0-volt supply
line. which also contains power
switch
A stepdown transformer is required
to cut the 110-volt current to the COR
rect value. The 226 uses l "A volts,
while the heater 227 needs ~, volts.
No voltage divider is required for the
227. as the grid return is made to the
fourta element.
Negative B and positive c battery
connections 60 to the grid return lead
rather than to the filament circuit as
In direct current sets.
Some hum will be noticeable In an
AC receiver, but as a rule it is not
troublesome, being drowned out when
q signal Is being received.

BY c. =. BUTTERFIELD.
Assceiayed .P,~ss Radio Editor.

Some changes In filament circuit
wiring are necessary when alternating
current receiving tubes replace those Of
the direct-current type.
Two kinds Of AC tubes are avail
able. One has directly heated Ma
ment. while the other contains a
separate heater which Is not physically
connected into the receiver circuit 1t
generates electrons by communicating
heat to the fourth element in the tube
Some heater tubes have five prongs. III
others, filament wires are brought out
at the top Of the valve.
Precautions Necessary.
In feeding raw AC current into the
sensitive receiver, several precautions
are necessary. The flament wire
should be twisted lamp cord or similar
cable. For best results 1t should be in
cased in tubular shield. although this
is not absolutely necessary However,
this wire should be kept as far as pos
sible from grid and plate leads.
The heater tube functions better as
detector than that with a directly
connected filament This Is due to
the fact that the heating element is
isolated to certain extent. The de-
tector circuit is more subject to AC
hum than other parts of the receiver.
Grid returns to the three-element
AC tubes-the 226s-are made through

ENDURANCE DANCING
i9 Couples Gliding Around Pitts burgh Dance Hall Floor ill Quest of New Record.

Pittsburgh, Pa, April :4 (UP)- F'orty-nine couples glided around the floor of Motor Square Garden here today contesting for the worlds championship endurance dancing record and the sl,ooO prize that goes with it.
 Some capered 10 the more mod crn fox trots with a few of the glidB of the varsity drag thrown in; a couple every now and then attempted a few steps of the re- lia ble Charleston; and others con- tented themselves with just straight away dance steps without any extra fancy steps.
 The 49 couples started on their endurance contest at 9:15 o'clock last night when Mayor Andrew Bobby Gillis of Newburyport, Mass. fired a pistol denoting the race was on.
 The present endurance record is 61 hours and 54 minutes made by Miss Marianne Jacques and Albert Bonach last February. Both arc contesting in the present contest.
 A score of trainers stood along the sidelines while a long table, filled with food, was on the dance floor so that the dancers might take sustcnance while dancing.

ANTARCTIC FlIGHT
 PLANNED FOR FALL
Wilkins Admits It But Declines
 Details

Oslo, Norway, April 4 Rl-Cap- 'a'n George II. Wilkins was quoted m message from Green Harbor to Inc aSbladet today as stating that he and Lieutenant Carl E. Eelson will fly to the South Pole this au- 1umn.
 Plans for the expedition are vir- tually complete. but Captain Wilkins would make no further statement on the propect for the present.
 The newspaper also said that Commander Richard l.. Byrd. who is now preparing his own expedition to the Antarctic. offered to buy the airplane in which Captain Wilkins made his recent flight across the 'top of the world" but that Wilkins refused to sell.
 Green Harbor, Spitzbcrgen. April c4 P0Three days in the warmth of the wireless station here had suc- cecded today in thawing out Cap tain George 1T. Wilkins after the frigid experiences he and his copilot. Carl E. Eielson, had on their trip from Point Barrow, Alaska. especi- ally the five days they were maroon cd on Dead Mans Island.
 The flyers said that when they landed on Dead Mans Island that they did not know just where they were as their maps of the Spitzber- gen district were very primitive. This SJo is t1 l,o al l. by Norwegian explorers and is about 12 and a half miles long. running cast and west.
 During their stay on Dead Mans Island a snowstorm ragged and it was bitter cold. The airmcn were forced to keep inside their plane.
 On arriving at Green Harbor, the first thing Wilkins and Eielson did was to cover the airplane with q double canvas cover to avert too fast refrigeration. This had to be done in extreme cold and without gloves
 Captain Wilkins is making himself perfectly at home and becoming more talkatiNe. He is walking about in trousers of reindeer skin and seal skin boots for such outdoor exercise as he cares 10 take. Every morning at five he receives punches of tclc- grams which he accepts smilinsly and pcrusos, disrosing of them later. Jte puts in most of the day work Ing hard indoors.
 Eielson, in contrast, spends most of his time resting on a sofa, snlok- ing his pipe and reading. As he is of Norwegian origin. he loves to talk the language and the people have found he retains the dialect of his fathers, although even his parents were born in America. He is de lighted at the idea of going 10 Nor way for the first time 10 meet the members of his family there and to sec the birthplace of his srandpar- ents.
 Wilkins has not announced def ntte plans for the future, but it is thought at the wireless station he IS likely to visit London en route 10 New York.
