are weary of being
the door mats and trial horses
for three other District public
bigh schools. And the well known
Example of the turning worm may
,e brought out by these schools
once the 1880 basketball series Is
opened.
No mistake about it-both OF
hese schools have mustered mate
,ial far above the average. And
hey will be out to prove it when
actual series play is launched.
Today the Stenographers in
the 1929 Washington
court campaign. Hy-
attsville High School, a Maryland
rival. will be met and some inter
esting mixing may result.
Robbed of the services Of
Capt. Matte NeUmann and Mil
ton Singman, who must labor,
the Orange and Blue will sub
stitute capable reserves. And
il Is the reserve material
which Is bringing most delight
to the heart Of Coach Lynn
Woodwork.
In addition to the first string
talent which includes Neumann,
Lucas, Chase, Linwood Jones and
oftus, the capable Business men
tor, possesses capable shock troops
IN Singman, Finley. Lester Jones,
Bill Duryee and several others Of
similar import.
i've no kick coming in basket
ball" Woodworth smiled today
while discussing the situation.
I've a tall center, Chase, and
two smart forwards. My guards
are the big problem right now
that is my regular selections.
'LinWood Jones looks like one
sure thing. but Lotus is getting
a tough rub from Finley and
Singman, two tough chaps who
know their basketball. And Duryee
is also breaking into the scrim-
images with plenty of heat. All
of which doesn't hurt my feel
ings any. Football has taught
me not to complain Of good ma
terial"
According to Coach Cliff
ton Moore, Western has dis
covered new basketball
standOut in Dave AmidOr, a
guard who was connected
with the football squad until
recently.
While Amidon failed to crash
the gridiron lineup with any de
gree of consistency he looks 100
per cent better on the floor. His
passing is particularly good
while he is also showing signs
of developing into a shot.
The repol ting of football talent
for court work has enlivened the
basketball atmosphere consider
ably. One new arrival who seems
set to grab himself off regular
call is Everett Buscher.
Buscher, a forward, is showing
the same adept scoring eye which
formerly established brother Alton
as a red and white star and
is counted upon to make the grade.
Some mere good news has been
given out in the report that
Milton Chatlen, an up-and-coming
guard. has attained scholastic
eligibility. Paul Chatlen, his
brother, failed to qualify in the
second advisory but the former
pulled thl ough after a warm
session.
Bob Freeman. graceful west
end tap-off artist, seems likely to
get an unexpected run for his
money. Whereas. his job seemed
locked up at the start of the
season it is now being stubbornly
contested by Bill Payne. a lanky
center who can get up in the air.
Anthony LatOna, dIminu-
tive forward who seems
destined to make the grade
after a years lay.Off due to
ineligibility, is suffering with
DIlSteFeu IceL at pTcScHL anu
has been inactive for several
days.
On a present basis Westerns
material shapes up as follows:
Buscher, Eaton. Vowel and La
tona. forwards; Freeman, and
PAYNE. centers; Hatfield, Burd,
Summers. Amidon and Paul Chat
len. guards.
It was learned yesterday that
Jim Thompson, Red and White
forward. will rejoin the team
January /. The Western captain
has been out since early fall with
an injured right arm fractured at
the elbow. He is expected to
crash the third game of Westerns
1890 series schedule.
It. was also announced that the
Georgetown School will Scrlm-
