Selection Of Scott as Sharkry s
opponent was practically dicatated

er for unney's vacated heavy
weight throne. At a recent con-
ference in Boston, Sharkey threat
ened to break away from the
Garden for good unless IL abandon
ed its attempt to match him with
fluffy Griffiths in Miami. He
named two or three possible oppon-
ents he would be willing TO meet,
but favored Scott.

decisive victory for Sharkey pro-

Clubs playing the Methodists will
do well by keeping a close watch on
Goddard, husky left forward. Not
only watch him. but put some speed

with ten points against the cole
gians to cop high point honors.

make such an impressive showing
Tuesday, they will be right up with
the best OF them when bracket play
closes Feb. Il. In addition TO being
IN training, these boys will benefit
by systematic practice under Coach
Cal Surtees as the season rolls along.
They have not gained their mo-
mentum as yet. On the other hand,
the remainder Of the quints are not
in training. They will not get the
benefit Of systematic coaching and
drilling. Consequently the Scorps are
expected to whip up their horses as
the season rolls along. It wouldn't be
at all surprising TO see the Harrington
Methodists and the collegiaHs re-
present the lower bracket IN the

College youths from all over the coun-

is now showing on the screens of many
OF the leading theaters.
Graham McNamee, National Broad

on all the stirring events as the scenes
are shown on the screen. Music is fur

At Philadelphia, the leading track

was one of the greatest fields of high
jumpers in history. Fifty thousand per-
sons turned out to see the college stars
establish new records.
At Cambridge, Mass, the Boston
''Tech" boys staged stirring battle on
top Of grease-smeared hut. 1t was
the annual paddle rush. No one was
injured, but the students came through
the fight in tatters.
Maryland Hunt Club steeplechase was
filmed by the newsreel and proved a
thrilling event, with some fast riding
and many spills.
Another sporting event of a profess
sional nature Is that of the mat title
bout held in Boston, where Count
Zarynoff of Russia met his Waterloo
at the hands of Gus Sonnenberg. The
dapper count rushed into the ring by
leaping over the ropes and scored the
first fall with a double armlock, but he
lost the next two.

Will They Come Back?

One of the more enterprising
friends of the Washington mus
icians spent Sunday pasting up
clippings all designed to show
that where straight picture
policy has been inaugurated in
other cities, the public has de
manded a return of the or
cheStras.
He forwards the result Of his
research to this department with
the query, Don't you think that
is the way it will operate IN
Washington?
On the advice Of counsel I
should refuse to answer such a
question at such a time. How
ever, grand jury or no grand
Jury, I reply "Yes."
I think the orcheStras will cnly
disappear temporarily, if at all,
from the larger Washington down
town theaters.
The next huddle Of the Wash
ington managers is with the mo-
ton picture operators. They
want pay raise and also request
for each down town theater, a
chief operator who will not be
obliged to work trick in the
projection booth. Tomorrow this
issue will be threshed out. About
double pay for Holidays de-
mand blamed upon the recent
hot spell-no prolonged argument
is expected.
