FOUR SPORT LAD
TOENTER c. j. .

Alexandria, Va, may some day
have cause to cheer a four-letter
man at Georgetown University.
That is if Joe Duncan, native
Virginian. continues to live up to
his present promise.
The Alexandria boy, it is re-
ported, will probably earn himself
four numerals with Mt. st. 10
seph's, of Baltimore, during
1929-30.
Duncan, a sturdily constructed
youth, weighs in around 100.
His strongest speciality is football.
AS a fullback he is one of the
Oriole 'City's best, while his
proficiency in other sports is un-
questioned.
Joe is frankly pointing for
career at the Hilltop, and
if his present plans go
through there is no reason
why he shouldn't attain his
goal.
AltnOugn ne mas one more year
as a schoolboy, he has shown un-
mistakable qualities as a college
prospect, and undoubtedly will be
welcomed to the Hoya fold.
A plunging fullback, Joe like
wise can hold his own on the
court, and is equally adept as a
catcher and second baseman in
baseball.
Also he is one of the outstand-
ing tennis marvels of the South
Atlantic section, and promises to
develop into a star amateur.
Quite bit of promise for a
16-year-old kid! For that's the
age of Alexandria'S nominee for
Hoya fame.

CLOSES
WOODS NINE
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

By GEORGE A. SIMPSON
The Manor Club has closed its
new nine or the woods nine, as
It is better known among the
golfers Of the organization. Dave
Thomson, chairman of the greens
committee, decided to shut it up
FOR the winter to allow the tender
grass more freedom to become
stronger by the fall.
The name woods nine" is ap-
piled because the course was cut
through what once was a forest,
Some of the trees fringing the mar
row fairways rise like gaunt
ghosts to taunt the golfers. Now
ever, that woods" nine is a real
test of golf, for it requires skill to
score low thereon.
Big dOings are promised
Saturday night at Manor
Club when the prize winners
throughout the year will be
presented their awards at
festival occasion. There will
be a dinner at 1880 o'clock
and a musical review later.
Manor Club members will to-
morrow night elect five members
to the board of governors for a
term of three years. The nomi-
mating committee consists of C.
E. Stewart, Walter L. Funder-
burk, Frank P. Smith, C. H. Ex-
ner and C. H. Spencer. They
placed in nomination the names
of Edward d. Freeman, Ray F.
Clarity. j. w. Manning, Charles
w. Schafer, Stanley D. Willis and
Charles H. Ze!ler. w. C. Balder-
son and Maj. E. Brooke Lee were
also nominated but withdrew
their names.
CongeSted conditions, similar
to those only expected during
the heighth Of the golf season,
prevailed at the local clubs and
public links yesterday. The situa-
ton will remain unchanged and
it appears that the golfers will
take one final whirl before they
are willing to finish the 1929
year.

that of being picked on several

front Sam Cordovano, George

morrow.
Sam fractured a thumb in
the recent Georgetown-Detroit
game. And it has caused him
considerable pain.
Tomorrow the thumb will be
re-broken and set. II is thought
that he will recover quickly
from this unpleasantry.

This applies to two schools deS-
tined to rise in the ranks after a
long siege of famine. Business
and Western, if favored by the
breaks, may upset the leaders in
the 1880 interhigh basketball
marathon.
At present, however, the scho
laStic standing of valuable players
is questionable. Unless these
men pass, things will assume a
far different aspect.
Western fears the loss of An
thony Latona. The lightning lit

heft and retains the scoring eye

Business is rejoicing over the
probable eligibility of Spencer
Chase, Ianky center, expected to
literally burn up the series.

There is something Of a hitch
in the arrangement, however, and
it may or not be ironed out at a
joint meeting tonight.
The Apaches, it seems, are set
to decree ineligible any players
affiliated with st. Marys after
the first Mohawk game two weeks
ago, and would not allow several
performers, who horned into the
lineup yesterday. to participate.
81 don't intend going

nOunced this morning. "If the
Apaches don't want to play

we'll play off our rubber game
with the MOhawkS.
I've promised to play the
Hawks anyhow in the event we
beat the ApacheS, and if the
champions aren't willing to take
their chances like Craig Wilton'S
team they're all out so far as
we're concerned"
Although the MohawkS have
tentatively agreed to meet Irving
ton Sunday they would probably
jump at the chance to take on
the CelticS in the rubber of their
three-game Saries.
If the Apache-St. Mary's tilt
is arranged, however, and the
Yellow Jackets win out it is init
mated that the Mohawks will
bend every effort toward SEIZED
uling another game with their
old rival.
Manager Seymour Hall,

hostile to such a move and
says so.

other Mohawk game is out" he
declared this morning. We've
beaten them once and that's all
there is to it. A second game
will not be played under any cir.
cumStanceS."
A 25-yard dropkick by Bill
Thomas, a rarity on a Soggy grid
iron, provided the field goal that
yesterday earned the CelticS their
3-to-O supremacy over the big
Hawks.
This score came in the third
quarter when Thomas kicked
from an angle after costly Mo

rushes had been brought into
play.
