District college basketers Is Forrest
Burgess. former Central High
court ace who is shining in his
first year with the American Uni
versity quint.
Seldom does a chap recently out
OF the high school grade jump into
a varsity berth at college, but there
was a vacant spot at American
University and Burgess met every
requirement.
The erstwhiIe Centralite is =
floor exponent Of q superlative

He has been the main scoring
threat of the American University
Eagles this year. but has also
helped his mates in their offensive,

whose worth alone is appreciated by
his mates and coaches.
The spectator sees him only
when scoring or checking an enemy
pass, but he also executes brainy
maneuvers that may prove the
turning point in the games.

A rift Of sunshine is finally
bursting through the maze Of
clouds which has overshadowed and
held back track and field athletics
in Washington for years.
Coinciding with the announce.
ment that the senior South Attain
tic track and field championships
will be held in the Central High
School stadium late in May or
early in June. an invitation for
Washington to form an indepen-
dent charter with the "A. A. u. and
divorce itself from the present af-
filiation with the South Atlantic As
sociation OF the parent body came
from Daniel J. Ferris, OF New York,
national A. "A. U. secretary.
In order for Washington to
form its own branch il win be
necessary for the South Allan.
tic body to give the local clubs
their release from its govern
ment. Providing this Is done,
and local officials felt that II
could be. then a petition for o
separate branch would have to
be presented to the national
body with eight signers.
In view OF the fact that Charles
L. Ornstein, executive secretary.
and Ernest j. Splitter, commits
sioner for Washington, would be
here to furnish the guidance to an
independent body and that there
already are 10 local clubs regis
tered with the South Atlantic
branch, securing the necessary pc
titioners for a charter would only
be incidental.
It is understood that all the
local schools. colleges and inde-
pendent athletic clubs are hailing
the opportunity for independence
with enthusiasm and every effort
toward this end will be exerted By
them in the immediate future.
