THE Valley has always felt that

that its own products due 70 their

over fruit from competing areas. II
is nevertheless true that dumping OF

A HERALD survey shows that
~ shippers and packers OF the
Valley have spent probably a
quarter OF a million dollars in prep
aration for the new season. This is
significant enough in itself but the
same survey shows a trend towards
modernization Of fruit handling:
something which cannot but re-
dound TO the benefit Of the Valley.
More than ever have prominent
packers studied the methods en-
ployed elsewhere and the result has
been a change for the better IN
many packing sheds Of this section.
THERE never has been a question
about the quality OF the Val

complaints about its appearance.

MIAMI BEACH, Feb. 1O-IN.
S0.-Jack Sharkey was to get a
real workout today in prepara-
ton for his bout here February
81 against Phil Scott, English
heavyweight. He Is scheduled to
take on Vittorio Campolo, the
Argentinian, who boxes Johnny
Risko, Of Cleveland, on the same
card.
Campolo's acceptance of an
offer to use Sharkey's training
camp at the Miami Beach Kennel
Club while waiting for the com
pleting OF his own camp at Coral
Gables, was a life-saver for the
Boston boxer, as he is extremely

manager, has sent urgent

Jimmy Maloney, Boston fat boy,
will also work out today at the
Sharkey camp, as will also Pierre
Charles, the imported boxer who
meets Tommy Loughran, but they
will not spar with Sharkey.
While the Boston fighter was
resting Sunday, Scott extended
his boxing to six rounds, but
omitted road work, indicating he
had little surplus weight to drop.
Dominick Fats and Jack De

man, De Nave furnishing him
with two fast rounds. He also

LOY0[A FIVE.
USES PRO :.
STYLE
BY JUNO KINERK

When Loyola, of Chicago, steps
on the floor Of the Tech gym
tonight against Georgetown, bas-
ketball fans Of the Capital will
have a chance to see for them
selves the most representative
court team Of the Midwest.
The Ramblers, as Loyola Is
called, have made about the best
record of any college quintet in
recent years. From the middle
' of the 1928 season down until a
little over a week ago they played
without a single defeat against
the best teams in their territory,
running up an amazing record Of
81 consecutive victories.
Included among their list
y of victims is Butler College,
national collegiate champion
last year, Montana State,
which cut such q wide swath
through the Midwest during
Christmas holiday jaunt,
and others, all of high caIiber. .
In Charley Murphy, 6 foot 8
inch center, Loyalo boasts a
player who is rated the outStand-
ing eager in the Midwest. Many
think he is without a peer as a
player in collegiate ranks. He is
the keyman of the Ramblers'
team, both on attack and on de-
tense. On attack he stations
himself just about on the foul
strip with his back turned to the
basket, from which vantage point
he feeds his mates who are cut
ting in for shot. If none can
get clear he pivots and shoots
himself.
Possessed Of an unerring eye,
which, combined with his physical
advantages make him a marked
man in every game, Murphy,
nevertheless, is his teams leading
scorer. He Is particularly effec-
tive on defense in picking the
ball off the blackboard. Here
again his great height stands him
in good stead.
The method of attack employed
by the Ramblers is the delayed
oftenSe. It is almost an airtight
defense and deliberate offense
through which the Ramblers walk
most Of the time. The secret of
its success is that they retain
possession of the ball the ma
jority of the time and never
waste al attempt for the basket
unless there is better than an
even chance of sinking the pei
let by drawing a defensive player
out OF position, thus leaving the
basket open for a short shot.
The style is quite similar
to that employed by the lead
ing pro teams. Every move
is studied and, carefully
planned and it will be inter.
eSting to note what measures
the HilltOppers will employ in
breaking up its effectiveness,
Coached for the two years prior
70 this season by Bob Ripley,
himself star player in the pro
basketball league for years, the
Georgetown players know a thing
or two about this system them
selves. Bill Dudack, the present
Hilltop coach, also is familiar
with it's workings and has been
drilling his charges against these
formations. The Hilltoppers also
picked up some valuable tactics
from New York U. and will enter
the game well armed to extend
the visitors to the limit.

EAGLES GRAYS
PROMISING

Beating Skinker Brothers
Eagles at their own game is ad-
mittedly a very difficult assign
ment. Nevertheless it is one
which United Typewriter Grays
will undertake in Independent
Basketball League play Wednes-
day night.
When these rivals get together
in the fourth game of the current
league schedule at $3.50 o'clock,
one of the prettiest exhibitions of
the year should result. Made up
of smart and capable material,
the Typewriters will employ the
professional style of play used by
the Eagles during the past few
years.
With the spacious Silver
Spring ArmOry court ideally
suited for the short passing
game adopted by both fac
tiOnS, a whirlwind of action
may be expected from the
start.
Actually several members of
the Grays were the first to emu
late the professional system.
Larry Boerner, Leon Shloss, War
rem Hayes, Bruce Kessler and
several other practiced the "pro"
game while with Epiphany years
ago and have consequently mas
tered its fine points.
The Eagles, decisive winners in
recent conqueStS, roundly respect
the Typewriter combination which
started out so auspiciously against
st. Mary'S CelticS Saturday night.
Though dropping that en-
gagement by a two point mar
gin, the GrayS flashed unqueS-
toned power before taking
their bow.
Preceding this contest will be an
extra added attraction in which
Mount Vernon M. E. and Woltz
Photographers, who fought a
memorable battle in Community
Center League play some time ago,
Will come together at 7:3O O'Clock.
In that fracaS the Woltzmen
emerged victorious by a one point
margin when BuScher slipped in a
foul shot with seconds to 60. This
return go is expected to bring out
some fine basketball from two
well-rounded and formidable clubs.
