AS NAVY STAR

Something Of a novelty on the
Navy football team this fall will
be presented in the person OF Cor
don Chung-Hoon, of Hawaii, who
promises to be one Of the back
field stars.
In fact, Coach Rip Miller, who
conducted a lengthy spring prac-
tice, does not hesitate to say that
he will be the best Navy back.
1t must be considered that
the Navy will have Bullet"
Lou Kirn, Joe TSchirgi and the
fleet Jack Waybright among
its backs next year.
Chung-Hoon made a reputation
as a running. passing and receiv-
ing back while playing with Sew
ern School two years ago.
His work, due to several cir
cumstance3, was not up to the
mark when playing with the
Navy plebes last year, but he has
done we'll, enough in spring prac-
tice to justify Coach Miller's high
hopes.

SCHOOLS MIX
IN LACROSSE
MAY 80

ANNAPOLIS, May 22.--Teams
Of the University of Maryland
figure largely as opponents Of
the Naval Academy in the bal
ance of the spring athlete sched'
ule of the latter institution.
Tomorrow will be baseball day,
the Old Liners sending their var
sity and freshmen here and on
May 80 the climax of the sports
at the Academy, the Maryland
lacrosse teams oppose Navy.
The varsity lacrosse game will
be the third in the annual series
and interest is added to the event
by the fact that each has wen
one of the previous contests.
The game between the Mary
land freshmen and Navy plebes
Is an added event on the pro-
gram of June week sports.
Washingtonians have a further
interest in the game from the
number of Naval players from the
District and vicinity. Jerry South,
captain and goalie, is Washing
ton youth; Sammie Moncure, ace
scorer, is from Alexandria, Va,
and George James, first defense,
is from Hyattsville.
The Naval Academy is some
what handicapped by the fact
that it will not have met any
of the top-notchers before oppos-
ing Maryland. However, against
teams of fair strength it has won
all eight games decisively, scoring
an average of 1412 goals a game,
while only an average of five
Sixths of a goal has been scored
against it.

CORNELL CREW
BEST IN EAST

NEW YORK, May 22.-The
pattern of the Eastern college
rowing picture becomes more In
tricate with the passing Of each
weekend.
To the ranks of the unbeaten
championship contenders on the
Atlantic seaboard, which had al
ready included the splendid crews
of Columbia, Harvard and Syra-
cuse, must now be added the
finest Cornell varsity eight to
come down from Lake Cayuga
since Pope Courtney was coach
ing the big red oars to Pough-
kepsie glory.
Last of the Eastern crews to
make it's 1881 debut, Cornell, by
it's decisive victory at Derby in
the historic Carnegie Cup re-
gatta, gave evidence of also being
the best of the Eastern eights.
Not even excepting SyracuSe's
splendid win over the Navy, and
Columbia's trio of triumphs on
the Harlem, the performance of
Jim Wray's mighty crew was by
far the most impressive of the
many fine races of the sprinting
season.
There was SO much power in
the boat which held six Of the
1880 POughkeepsie champion.
crew that Yale, rowing as high
as So to CornelPs 2S, 30 and
30, was never able to get q full
length lead over the big red
eight. And when Bob Wilson
showed the stroke up to 81,
the Ellis were out of it.
That spring day regatta up at
Ithaca next Saturday should be
a great race. With Syracuse and
Harvard tc battle Cornell down
the mile stretch, and M. I. r. to
set fast pace at the start, one
of the finest sprinting races of
all time may result.
Harvard added considerably to
its prestige when it swept it's tri-
angular regatta with Penn and
the Navy on the Schuylkill.
Columbia looked good against
M. I. T., too. There was bit of
checking to be discerned in the
run of the Lion boat in the early
stages of the race, traceable to
poor rowing by Ganzle and Wag-
ner, but once the Glendon eight
began swinging as a unit. it was
all over with Tech.

STRANGE FEUDS
IN BASEBALL

There are still some strange
feuds in baseball. Young Joe
Vosmik, facing Waite Hoyt for
the first time, did not like the
wise-cracking Flatbush un d e. r
taker, but said nothing. Then
Hoyt started to dust him off at
the plate. He just escaped by
Hopping to the ground while
Hoyt roared. Next pitch Vosmik
stood up there and whaled it
away to the fence. He yelled at
Hoyt as he went around the
sacks and got the Tiger pitcher
up in the air so far he lost the
game.
Charley Gehringer, of the
Tigers, has a feud on with Yves
Ferrell, the nO-hit pitcher of
the Cleveland team. There is
real enmity between these
young stars.
It seems that when FeYrell
first came up Gehringer was a
little skeptical about his ability,
saying that he did not think he
would win more than a dozen
games. That hurt the Southern
pitchers pride and they nave
been at swords points ever since.
Gehringer gets no good ball to
hit at when Ferrell is on the
mound.
Just after Ferrell pitched his
no-hit game the other day the
Tigers played the Indians. Bucky
Harris shot Gehringer into the
lineup, although his arm still
was weak. Then Gehringer and
Ferrell went to it.
When Gehringer came to the
plate he started yelling:
Lets see that no-hit ball?
I want to drive 1t out Of the
lott"
Ferrell had gone 13 innings
without a hit being made off MS
delivery. Gehringer slammed the
first ball pitched to him for a
single, thus marring FerreIs
clean slate.

PARTY LIFE
Write About Your Experiences

WHEN Party comrades are asked to write of
W their experiences encountered in the strug-
gle, the usual reply is that ST am not a writer"
or that "I do not know how" This, unques-
tionably is remnant of the old petty-bourgeois
conception that to write" means to possess the
ability of an author" to be an Intellectual and
that such tasks must be confined to the pro
fessional" cadres in our Party.
This orientation within the Party finds its
reflection in the ranks of the workers who fol-
low our Party press but will not write for it. The
underestimation of the importance Of developing
worker correspondents in each District of en-
couraging the workers in the mills, shops, mines
and agricultural centers to write about their con-
dtions to their organ is due to the fact that our
own functionaries do not appreciate the import
ance of developing this activity among the broad
masses, nor do they themselves practice it.
The Importance of the interchange of ex-
periences gained in the process of building the
Party and developing struggles in the various
Districts was very sharply brought out at the
Regional Conferences held recently
The prevailing conception in the Party is that
the big centers j. e. N. Y. Detroit Chicago,
ETC., are the important places and the most sig
nificant ones Yet while listening to the re-
ports of the Section Organizers from the small,
remote industrial sections one felt that their
experiences were of invaluable benefit to the
comrades from the big centers. These section
organizers are largely separated from the Center
due t. distance and in many cases due to lack
Of sufficient drectves given from the Center
and must solve their numerous problems them
selves, during which process they develop new
forces and, what is more significant, they draw
in the workers from the mines and mills into
the work of the Party.
1t is absolutely essential that these comrades
from the outlying industrial and agricultural
sections begin to write for the Party Organizer
and the Party Life column in the Daily Worker.
The lessons derived from their mistakes and sue
cesses must be put at the disposal of all other
functionaries who are faced with similar diff
ficulties while applying the program of the Party
in the day to day activities.
WhCn comrades are assigned to write short
articles for the Party Organizer they must con-
slider it as a task that must be carried out in
time. write as you fight" is not only slogan
for the masses but must be concretized by the
responsible comrades who put forth this slogan
