lation time was "a all. At the end
of the first extra period it was 80
all. Then a spirited second extra
session eliminating with Fitz-
gerald's telling basket in the last
80 seconds of play. There's really
JOY at Gonzaga today.
The victory, by the way, marks
the first time Gonzaga has won
from Eastern on the Lincoln
Parkers' floor in eight years.
Emerson Loses
George Washington Freshmen
and Emerson played a fast game,
in the second and other contest
on yesterdays card. The Frosh
won, 80 to 18.
Emerson was OutclaSsed but
put up a spirited fight. The p
StreeterS did not get started
until after the intermiSsiOn
which time proved too late.
Heflin played good game
both as a guard and a scorer.
He led both teams in the point
making by totaling 9 points. in
cluding three baskets and three
fouls.
The FroSh got off to a big
lead during the first half and
this made it easy for them the
remainder Of the way. At half
time a 12-to-2 lead was held.
Fouts, Davidson and Diversion
were the best players, $780,.

game. Mistakes made then have
been corrected and more consist.
ency is expected once tonight's
game gets under way.
Against Census the Sailors
impressed with periodical streaks
of real brilIiance but inability
tc follow up advantages and
to make the most of Opportuni-
ties offered them sent the Avia-
tors into discard.
This contest will serve as a
tune-up attraction for Stewarts
prior to next weeks clash with
the Enumerators. The Photogra.
piers, who dropped a three-point
decison to Census earlier in the
year, will be out to avenge that
setback in league play.

The Sailors showed plenty of

Improved team play and longer

to the Georgetown-Duquesne game
at the Tech gymnasium, begin
ming at 7:30 o'clock.
This contest is only cne Of
Importance for the day, which
features the high school series

listing Central against Business
and Tech against Western, begin
ming at $3.50 o'clock.

Hyattsville, same time, and Con

gymnasium tonight at $50

Dewitt Debut Unusual
Devitt's fray is the most un-
usual, however. All because it
is the first and last for the team
this season. The Upton Street
institution has not gone in for
basketball as of other years, when
topnotch teams were the rule.
Instead just interclaSS competi-
ton has been in sway. 1t is
from this group that Coach Jim
McNamara picks his team for to-
nights battle. And it's not such
an off-color array at that.
1t includes Tom Webb and
Paul TangOra, forwards: Samp-
san, center, and Bill ChildreSs
and Noble Cook, guards. Others
are Willis, Craig, Ward and
Harvey.
These players are not out Of
condition by any means. Their
interclass games bring this out.
And it can be said that they are
not unaccustomed to playing to-
gether either as Webb, Tangora,
Sampson, Childress and Cook,
have been teammates on one of
the many interclass clubs in
games for the past month or so.
All this should aid no little in
a fair showing against the
Georgetown Frosh tonight. Coach
Mcnamara feels that it won't be
runaway game, anyhow.
Plenty of Color
There will be lots Of color to
the inter-high games this after
noon. Did you ever stop to think
of it this way? In the first game,
there will be the clash of Cen
trails blue against Business
orange. Then, in the second en-
counter, there will be Techs gray
against Westerns red.
Central Is held a decided
favOrite over Business, in view
Of its powerful showing against
Tech on Tuesday. The Tech
Western game is difficult to
dope.
Tech, on paper, should defeat
Western. But the Georgetowners
are a team of players always able
to upset any dope. It's safe to say
that Tech will have a real fight
on it's hands in defeating Western
All Of which promises a real
battle for the entertainment of
the fans. One thing is certain
Tech needs a victory, every
victory from now on, to stay close
to Eastern, present leader. A loss
at this time would probably hurt
1t so much that it could not make
comeback even if it tried, re,
gardless of what happened last
year, when it came back to win
the championship after losing its
first two games.

TILT
ATTRACTS

By GINO SINH

Dy NAGNO SANAA
The girls will have their inning
On the bowling alleys tomorrow
night and several nifty looking
attractions will be on the pro-
gram. All kind of champions
will display their ware against
opponents worthy of their mettle.
The fans will be particularly
interested in the doubles battle
between Marie (Frere) Whalen
and Marjorie Brodt Smith,
former U. s. doubles champions,
and holders of a stack of doubles
records, and Rena Levy and
Catherine Quigley, of the Recrea-
tion team, two of the city's top
notch fair pin-pounders, on the
Columbia alleys at 8 o'clock.
Mrs. Quigley Speaks
It was Mrs. Quigley who opined
rs how she and Rena could do
quite a little bowling as a doubles
team, and that their cooperative
work would be far and above the
best that Whalen and Smith
could offer.
What will surprise close
followers of the pinetteS most,
though, is that Rena Levy, who
never feels as If she is certain
Of anything to the extent Of civ
ing out her views, actually and
unequivOcally admits that she
believes she and Quigley can
beat them!
But Marjorie and Marie have
been through many tight matches
side by side and have finished on
top, so that they are not overly
disturbed at the prospects.
These two once gave Arthur
Logan and Howard Campbell an
interesting 10-game battle, in
which Bradt rolled a 608 set, a
record only recently approached
by Lorraine GULL, who a couple OF
weeks ago rolled sos in a mixed
doubles match.
The other female headline at
Traction is the opening block Of an
antercity match between the John
Blicks, leading the Ladies District
League, and the Baltimore Recrea-
zion Center, N. D. B. c., team
champions, on the Arcadia drives,
starting at 8 o'clock.
Holiday Singles Champion
The orioles brightest orbs are
Geneva Preis and Margaret Folli-
day, ranked fourth and fifth ma
tionally last year. Holiday is the
national singles champion.
Lottie JanOwitz, who finished
fourth in the National all
event, is another member.
Mabel Shaw, Betty Bay and
Sue Miller. complete the team.
The Washington girls bank on
Betty Hoffman, who has been
among the leaders in the Ladies
District League all season. Elsie
Fischer, who, with Paul Harrison,
captured the National Mixed
Doubles championship at the
Arcadia last December, Lucy
Owen, ranked No. 6 nationally,
Helen Whitbeck and Ellen Vein
meyer.
Immediately following the team
match Fischer and Owen will
meet Holiday and Shaw in
doubles match which should be
repleted with action.
John Blicks Midgets expect
to add Burt HeilS Boulevard
Midgets to their list Of victims
when they meet tomorrow night
ut the Arcadia, starting at 7:30
O'Clock. The John Blicks have
vet to lose match, having sue
cessfully repulsed the assault Of
midget teams from Hyattsville,

It was a little too confident
Eastern Five which fell in defeat
after thinking all the while that
their Purple opponents were not
to be figured largely.
Two extra periods were neceS-
sary to decite things. Dickie Fitz-
gerald's basket, with 80 seconds
left to play in the second extra
session, won for Gonzaga.
Fitzgerald Stars
Fitzgerald, in fact, played a star
role throughout. He scored seven
baskets and one foul for is points.
Eastern began with its sec
Ond string array and that
combination found the Purple
a most stubborn opponent. At
half time only IA to IL lead
was held.

MT. Pessemier has scores of friends in this city and the following account of the wedding, contained in the Idaho Daily Statesman, September 27, will be read with much interest:
 "A wedding of interest in Boise was solemnized last Tuesday morn ing when Miss Eunice Elizabeth Hewitt, daughter of MT and Mrs. F. w. Hewitt, became the bride of Albert H. Pessemier. The bride was married in an ensemble of brown flat crepe with hat to match. She carried a bouquet of pink and yellow roses.

Grew of Between Forty-five and Fifty Men Given
 Up as Lost
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. IT

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. IT The Japanese freighter Yonar Maru, with a crew of between 4 and 50 men, has been given up as lost.
 The only trace found by three searching ships in the mid-Pacifie has been part of the deckload oi logs.
 The liner President Jefferson reached the scene where distress calls indicated the freighter was in trouble, at noon yesterday.
 A radio received here from the President Jefferson said:
 "Found deckload of logs, noth- ing else. Bruised in vicinity for three hours in company With Ayaha Maru and Taicen Maru. No ships found trace of anything except deckload"
 Poor visibility, rain and heavy seas hampered the search.
 The lost ship left Astoria October l. in command of Capt Matsu- moto, for the Orient, with 100000 feet of logs and 5000 tons of wheat. The craft was owned by the Nippon Kyaji Kashie of Japan.
 Distress calls were picked up late Thursday night by the President Jefferson when the Yonan Maru was in a position of about 800 miles west of Dutch Harbor, AL aSka.
 The Jefferson is enroute to Se- attla with Col Charles A. Lind bergh and his wife aboard.
