Hold
Everything
ZOE HOLMAN
BY JOE HOLMAN

Is it possible that the District
Amateur Athletic Union is pre-
pairing to lift uncalled-for limita-
tionS and red tape surrounding
it's basketball organization Of a
year ago. Let's hope so!
No one has ever questioned the
right of the governing body to
place restrictions upon those en-
tered in the Community Center
League and South Atlantic A. A.
q. competition. But freezing out
those who, in one way or an
other, do not exactly shape up to
the unions amateur code Is
quite another thing.
The distinction between So
called amateurs and "prOfeS-
sionaIs," in many instances,
necessitates a splitting Of
hairs. In other words the
line frequently is drawn very
fine.
We fail to see how outside
games between registered A. A. U.
clubs and those functioning in
dependently could be harmful to
anyone. Rather they would tend
to increase the good will and
rivalry needed to elevate basket
ball to it's rightful position locally.
The open break existing be-
tween the District A. A. U. and
independent basketball teams a
year ago can be averted by a
compromise. In other words, if
the local chapter agrees ito per-
NIT its teams to engage indie
pendent quintets in regularly
scheduled contests, there is no
doubt they will work hand in
hand with the District organiza-
ton.
If, on the other hand, the
home town chapter refuses
to permit registered A. A. u.
teams to meet all cOmerS,
another split in local ranks
not only is possible, but is
highly probable-and then
some!
In other words. the Washing
ton chapter of the A. A. u, if
it so desires, can create a
healthier basketball situa t ion
locally than ever before. Or, on
the other hand, averSe action
will result in a replica of the
1880 situation-internal dissen-
sion and a complicated state Of
affairs.

GOLF
BY CHESTER HORTON

The swing begins with a firm
left-hand grip and a light right
hand hold. Thereafter, leave
your right hand alone. One Of
the comm nest sources for golf
ing troubles comes from too
much hitting with the right
hand.

TECH FLOOR
SCENE Of
GAME
BY GARRETT WATERS

n
Two games are on the scholastic
basketball program for today.
Tech entertains the st. Johns
Prep Tossers in the Tech Gym
nasium at $3.50 o'clock, while Gen.
tral journeys to Hyattsville to en-
gage the Hyattsville High School
Five at 3:45 o'clock.
The game between Tech and st.
Johns will mark the first of the
season for the latter team. The
Johnnies are not altogether unpre-
pared, however, as Coach Paully
Byrne has had them under his
careful eye in, practice sessions
the past two weeks.
AS the contest is the lone one OF
purely local origin for today,
many fans are expected to journey
over to the Tech Gymnasium to
witness the teams in action. Tech
expects plenty Of opposition as
the JohnnieS have always been
found to be exceptionally strong
in basketball every year.
Boxers at Smoker
Two firSt-claSs boxing bouts
have been arranged for the an
nual Central &c" Club smoker TO-
night at the Racquet Club, begin
ming at 8 o'clock.
Mike Tardugno and JOckO
Miller will meet and MyIeS
Mclean and Leon Schulz will
clash. The quartet Of leather
pushers are from the local
Jewish Community Center.
The banquet and smoker marks
the completion of the eleventh
season for the Central &C" Club.
Basketball at Central, by the
way, is not doing badly at all.
Yesterday Coach Coggins' team
won another contest, defeating
the Woodward Tossers in a 52-to-
13 rout.
The Blue and White did things
with ease, ringing up points at
every turn, seemingly. Broadbent
and Burke led the scorers, the
first named with six baskets, one
foul shot for 13 points, and
Burke, with five baskets for 10
points.
Central ROmps Home
Central ran up a 12-to-0 lead
during the first quarter, and in.
creased it to 20-by-4 by the half :.
The second stringers then played
through the third quarter with
the regulars coming back for the
final quarter.
Fast and furious basketball
was turned in by the Eastern
five against Emerson. Coach
GuyOn'S men, once they got
started, won deciSively by q
44-to-26 score.
Emerson put up a stubborn
fight for the first six minutes of
the first quarter, holding Eastern
scoreless and taking a 2-to-0 lead
when Cody Shapiro sank bas-
ket from the center of the floor.
Eastern, Gets Started
But then Eastern got started.
Noonan. Lieb, Kane and Shirley
scored, as did others, and a lead
was rung up so large that the
Emersonites could not begin to
get near it.
NOOnan was high scorer
with 9 baskets for Is points.
Lieb had 9 points, while
Shirley and Kane tOtaled
Z and 6 points respectively.
Cody Shapiro, a former East
ern flash, was the best player
for Emerson. The Stocky little
guard shot six baskets and two
foul shots for ID points, to lead
his team in itS SCORING

Free Wheeling, which makes

That is the opinion of Pitts

James M. Clark, Superinten-
dent of Police Peter Walsh.
Assistant Superintendent of
Police Benjamin Marshall and
Inspector of Traffic Police
Jacob Dorsey. The fact that
the new Studebaker transmits

possible to rapidly change

used, with Dave Willoughby, riding
master, instructing the JayceeS n

which they hope to play
Keeping the horses at a canter,
the polo noviceS followed an innasl-
nary ball around the field, weaving
their horses in an erratlc course.
Dust trails followed the ponies

saddles swinging at the non-eXistent
bah. Stock saddles were used II
this, the first practice session. Wnen
they become more used to the game
the Jaycees will change to English
saddles.
Plans are being laid to schedule a
game as soon rs the riders and
horses are in condition. Organiza-

men on a team, the junior chamber
may organize two squads, to compete

ANOTHER DOUBLE
MAIN EVENT To
BE- SHOWN HERF

Santa Claus is hopping into
town a week ahead OF time for the
boxing fans. judging from the card
that has been arranged for Friday
night. which is topped by a double
main event.
In the top of pack is Al Cante,
the whirlwind boxer who surprised
the cash customers two weeks ago
by knocking out Teddy Palacios.
Alicante hits and how he hits. EV-
cry fan who saw him do his stuff
wanted TO see him in action again
and Matchmaker Harry Woodbury.
lost no time in signing him up as
soon as he could for another match.
For his opponent this time AL
Cante draws Sammy Aguirre, and
to the sports follower who Knows
his stuff, that spells a mighty good
fight. Aeuirre is from the same
stable as Palacios but is a good
bit tougher The PalacioS followers
never figured Teddy would go out
via the kayo route. in fact they
figured him just bit too good for
Alicante, who has not had anv too
much experience.
With Palacios falling by the
Wayside, the star of The stable is
picked out to settle the score and
flatten Alcante's ears for him. AL
cante is shy On experience--ves,
but boy who can hit like he does
is not in need OF a great deal Of
experience in order to get by.
The second half OF the double
main event brings together frankie
Arrcson and Pito Punay. and that
is another mouthful for the fans to
digest.
Frankie proved beyond all doubt
that he is a mighty good fighter
when he lost close decision TO
Ignacio Fernandez here four weeks
ago. Fernandez was lucky to get
away with the decision for Arregon
vas right with him every step of
the way and gave him fight that
ne will long remember.
Prnay boxed draw with Bobby
Facho at the Olympic a few weeks

as Scrapper. He is fast, can hit
hard, and with considerable eX-
perience obtained in the past year
