tells me there are but six fIlnda-
mental plays in this game. The diff
ferences that make US believe 1t is
filled with various and intricate

add in order to hide the real pur-
pose.
One Of the well established funda-
meutals on attack Is the trailer play.

Punch in Games.
After trailing nearly all the way Gen.
trail rallied in the final quarter to tie
the score at 23-all and then fought the
Stenogs on q furious point-for-poin
basis until shortly before the final
whistle, when Bobbie Lucas, extraordi-
nari1y clever little Business forward,
Gagged pretty pot shot to bring victory
to the Orange and Blue and inci0ently
demonstrate that it is possible for the
Stenogs to win game that is marked
by close finish despite that it has
lost three such contests in the current
series.
Eastern held the lead from the start
until early In the third quarter, when
Western shot to the front only to have
Eastern rally at the close Of the quar-
ter again to get ahead, "a to 20.
Then after Western had again
achieved the lead shortly after the final
period opened Eastern once more struck
back to get out in front and win the
ball game. Capt. Jimmy Ryan accounted
for i've Of those vital Eastern points in
the waning moments, caging two rous-
ing baskets from the floor and tossing
in one from the foul line. Barney Kane
sank a pretty shot under the basket,
after receiving q good pass for Eastern's
final points just before the final gun.
Little Lucas was Business ace. AL
ways willy, he played an unusually heady
game. He led his team In scoring with
points and turned IN bang-up de-
fensive game. Pete LOTUS and Freddy
Finley, guards. also showed to particu-
lar advantage and Spencer Chase, lanky
center, did well.
Stenogs Wait for Win.
It was the first win for Business since
its victory over Tech, 81 to 26, in one Of
the opening games of the series and the
third straight loss for Central.
Joe Robey, Capt. Jimmy Ryan and
Dallas Shirley were the siege guns in
the Eastern offense. Bob Freeman,
Western center, however, was the games
high scorer with 10 points, while Capt.
Jimmy Thompson also showed his usual
keen eye for the basket.

.SCHAFER PROBES
VIOLATIONS HERE
Drunkenness Worse Than
Before Prohibition, Says
Representative.

That the poisoned" liquor of today
brings more debauched degree of
drunkenness, and that the modern
"drunks" are found in a much worse
condition than those of prohibition
days is one of the conclusions reached
by Representative Schafer, Wisconsin,
who has been making close personal
inspection Of liquor conditions IN Wash
ington. Representative Schafer is a
wet"
Representative Schafer has been
Scrutinizing police work, especially that
of the second precinct preparatory to
giving Congress his views regarding the
effectiveness of prohibition enforcement
in the District.
He has been making this personal
survey, keeping in close touch with
raiding parties, occasionally going on a
raid himself, and being in the station
when the prisoners are brought in and
observing them in their cells, in order
to make sure of the situation here
before he explodes his "bombshell" in
the House.
After long and careful observation
OF those confined for drunkenness" said
Representative Schafer today, It am
convinced that the 'drunks' today are
In worse condition than the DRINKS
who were arrested prior to the days of
prohibition. The moonshine, and boot
leg, synthetic and poisoned stuff they
are drinking today brings them to a
more debauched degree of drunkenness. -
Another conclusion reached by Rep
reSentative Schafer is that the Wash
ington Police Department should have
low-wave broadcasting station to aid
in the apprehension of criminals, with a
number OF patrol automobiles cruising
about the streets, which, with receiving
sets, could pick up a broadcast when a
crime was committed and thus more
promptly concentrate on apprehending
the guilty parties. He points to the ex-
perience of Detroit with such a system,
and says that the chief of police in Mil
waukee has just recommended that he
should be given such an adjunct to
his department.
