Many, both friends and foes,

Not until he had been suspended
from office, pending outcome of
trial on impeachment charges. did
Johnston accept Mrs. Kammonds'
resignation. Later. on the witness
stand, he told the court he pre-
viously had declined to discharge
his secretary because rumors. circu-

improper. This charge. which was
included in the purported articles
of impeachment voted in December,

court that only after he noted that

feel justified in accepting the wom-

Johnston Unmoved
H. Tom Right, Rogers county

Johnston administration for ivrtu-

blow for the prosecution when, as a

PENN SEEMS CERTAIN
TO WIN LEAGUE TITLE
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 20.-Penn-
sylvania's court aggregation has driven
another spike into the Eastern Inter
collegiate Basket Ball League cham
pionship for 1929.
The Red and Blue five, coached by
Eddie McNichol, upset Yale, % to 20,
in a stubbornly contested battle last
night, and ran its string of league vic
tories to six without defeat. Only four
more games, three of them at home. re-
main on PENIS schedule. and the Phil
adelphians apparently can coast into
their second consecutive championship.
Every other league rival has been
beaten at least twice, so that Penn still
can lose two of its four games and finish
in a tie for the top.
AS the schedule stands, though, 1t
hardly appears that joey Schaaf and
his teammates will be stopped at all
unless Dartmouth turns the trick at
Hanover on March 2. The Quakers have
been invincible at home as well as
abroad.
Yale gave Penn quite a battle of 1t.
but in the end the Ellis could not stop
Schaaf. who Tailed six field goals and
two fouls. and this splurge was what
counted heavily against the home team.
The star Pennsylvania forward now has
scored rs points in league games and
holds wide lead over the field for the
individual scoring championship.
Tonight Cornell entertains Columbia
at Ithaca. A Cornell victory, which
seems extremely probable, will send the
Ithacans into undisputed possession Of
second place in the standings.

FEW POINTS MADE
IN HOCKEY GAME.
Complaints About Lack of
Scoring Seem Certain
to Increase.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 20.-As the
National Hockey League season goes
down the home stretch the complaints
about the lack of scoring are due to in
crease The teams, with playof posi-
lions at stake in nearly every contest
are not taking any chances with open
play, and the spectators who favor
numerous goals are the sufferers.
Last nights three games provide a
good sample of the closing battles. Only
I'VE goals were scored by the six teams
involved, and more than half Of these
were tailed in the battle between De-
troit and Ottawa. The Senators, tail
enders of the International group, cut
loose with two counters before Detroit
could get started and wound up with a
81 victory, their tenth of the season.
The victory did little to help Ottawa
out of its cellar position, but 1t had seri-
Gus consequences for the Cougars. While
they were losing Boston took strange
battle from the lowly Pittsburgh Pirates,
/ to 0, and made its second place in the
American group safe by 5-point mar
gin. The Bruins now are only 2 points
behind the New York Rangers, divi-
sional leaders.
Shore. husky Boston defense star.
scored the only goal on much disputed
play. The Pirates claimed that the
referees whistle had blown before
Shore shot, and a penalty to Hib Milks
of Pittsburgh backed up their claim,
but the goal was allowed. Before the
dispute ended the police were called
upon to protect one Of Bostons noisily
loyal rooterS from a Pittsburgh player
who tried to climb into the stands.
In the headline battle Of the inter-
national group. the Montreal Maroons
did a good turn for their townsmen,
Les Canadiens, by downing the New
York Americans by 1-to-0 count. The
result gave the MaroonS tie with
Toronto for third place In the division
and left the Canucks two points ahead
of the Americans. Bill Phillips did the
| scoring in the middle of the first frame
and put the contest on rush and
guard basis for the remaining so min
utes. With the aid of George Boucher,
veteran back line player just acquired
from Ottawa, the MaroonS were able
to equal the Americans at defensive
playing and except for a few bursts of
speed, the defense was the principal
! part of the contest.

NNAPOLIS, Md, February 20
" According to Comdr. Jonas H.
n Ingram, director of athletics at

chance that the foot ball game
between Georgetown end Navy, Sched-
uled for November 8. next, will be
played anywhere except Annapolis.
Asked If the game might go to Grit
fifth Stadium, in Washington, Comdr.
Ingram replied, Not a chance"
Comdr. Ingram explained that the
game was scheduled so that there would
be one really big game at Annapolis.
Last year the home schedule OF the
Navy team was tame, and there was
demand for more class in the local
games. The Georgetown game was
scheduled to insure colorful contest
In the home series.
The situation, however. Is different as
to the game between Notre Dame and
the Navy. scheduled for October IL,
Comdr. Ingram being equally emphatic
in his avowal that no place had been
selected for the game. Just after the
game with Michigan at Baltimore last
season Comdr. Ingram, disappointed at
the smallneSs of the attendance, an
nounced that the Notre Dame game was
not likely 10 go TO Baltimore this year.
Later that statement was toned down
to some extent.
Baltimore Bids Strongly.
1t Is known that Washington and
Philadelphia, as well as Baltimore. have
been brought to the attention of the
Academy officials. and the selection has
not yet been made.
Baltimore officials are, however, max
ing a strong fight for the game. and
IL representatives of the other places
are trying to get the game their efforts
have been under cover.
