TARIFF SPLITS
LEADERS IN
: BRITAIN
Baldwin and Liberal Leader
at Odds on Protection; Con-
ServativeS Fight Samuel

LONDON, Oct. 9 GNSO.-The
protective tariff issue came to
the fore today in the election
campaign and threatened a split
among leaders of the national
government party headed by
Prime Minister Macdonald.
An election manifesto from
Stanley Baldwin, Conservative
leader, and a campaign speech
by Sir Herbert Samuel, spOkes-
man for Liberals in the cabinet,
revealed sharp disagreement over
the necessity for a tariff.
Baldwin came out flatly for a
tariff, but Sir Herbert, in an
address at Bradford, declared
that he was not convinced that
Great Britain should adopt a
protection policy, though ad-
mitting it might be helpful as an
emergency without including
foodStuffs.
AS a result of Sir Herbert's at
titude, which was believed to eX-
press the view of his Liberal col
leagues in the cabinet, it was re-
ported today that the Conserva-
tives were considering putting for
ward a candidate to oppose his. re.
turn to Parliament.

LINE ON PURDUE'S
QUINTET IN SIGHT
Last Years Champion Plays
MiChigan's Ozark Horse"

~HICAGO, January 6.-Some idea
of Purdues chance Of retain
Y ing the Western Conference
basket ball championship will
be determined tonight at Ann Arbor,
where the Boilermakers tackle Michi-
gan's dark horse" entrant.
The Wolverines are hoping that his
tory will repeat itself-but in reverse.
A year ago Michigan, the defending
champion, opened its season at Purdue
and took 23-to-19 beating.
Wisconsin today was the leader Of
the race by virtue of its victory last
night over Illinois in the inaugural of
the Big Ten season. The Badgers man
to-man defense was just little tighter
than Illinois and they gained a 12-to-9
decision. Wisconsin scored three times
from the field to twice for the Illini.
Iowa was given terrific battle by
Drake last night, but squirmed out with
a 21-to-20 victory, gaining an even
break in its four game practice season.
Minnesota made a sweep of its five
game set by defeating Iowa State, 20
to II.
Chicago and Ohio State also will play
tonight, but against non-conference OPP
ponents The Maroons, showing promise
of being much improved over last sea-
son, will meet Marquette at Milwaukee.
Marquette, playing on its own floor, was
favored, largely because of a 16-to-14
victory over Wisconsin two weeks ago.
Ohio will meet Notre Dame at South
Bend. Notre Dame lost two games to
Northwestern and one to Purdue, but
has improved and will give the Buck
eyes battle.

NEARLY 600 REPORT
FOR TEAMS AT NAVY
About 400 Striving for Varsity
Berths and Others Are on
Plebe Aggregations.

ANNAPOLIS, January 6.-Nearly 600
midshipmen reported yesterday In the
gymnasium at the Naval Academy to
the coaches of the various athletic teams
as practice for the Winter short sea-
son started in earnest
About 400 of this group were candi-
dates for varsity berthS, while the plebes
had about 200 trying for positions. Box
ing and wrestling drew the greatest
number Of aSpirants, each sport having
about hundred MiddieS limbering up
for the long grind.
Spike Webb has a large group OF
Tars punching bags, skipping ropes and
exercising In order to get in trim for
the real fighting, which will begin next
week. In the wrestling loft the Middies
lined the wall and watched the holds
as the coaches went through the move
ments.
In the swimming pool Henry Ortland
had his fish practicing starts and get
ting the feel of the water while at the
opposite end Of the tank Frank Foster
drilled the Middies with whom he hopes
to fill the places left vacant in the
intercollegiate championship water polo
team of 1880.
Fencing and gym brought out about
a hundred and, in addition to the Mid
dies who reported for the different
sports, the main floor of the huge gym
was crowded with other cadets who
were getting of some of the excess
weight gained over the Christmas vaca-
ton
The other Winter sport, basket ball
has already started and the Tars face
their fourth opponent tomorrow, when
the George Washington five visits
Annapolis.

PHILADELPHIA. January 6 R.-
L Joseph w. Wear of Philadelphia
soon will resign as chairman of
the Davis Cup Committee of the
United States Lawn Tennis Asso-

Wear to decide against retaining the
important committee post he has
held since February, 1928. Not only
Is he established in private business,
but is chairman of the alumni board
of Yale University as well and he
no longer can find the necessary
time to devote to Davis Cup affairs.
1t was understood here that Wear
would recommend as his successor,
Fitz Eugene Dixon of Philadelphia,
non-playing captain of the last two
American Davis Cup teams. Dixon
also is member of the Davis Cup
Committee.

Eastern Must Spring Unusual
To Beat Tech Quint in Opener

- HOULD Eastern come through
with a win over Tech in the
opening game of the public high
school basket ball championship
series Friday on the Tech High floor
at $3.50 o'clock, it will be succeeding
where it has failed the last couple of
years. The Mckinley qu1nt knocked of
the Lincoln Parkers, Al to 81, and 81
to % last season, and the campaign
before triumphed over the Light Blue,
IS to Is, and 80 to 81.
Western also will be running true to
second half Of the double header. The
scholastics up Georgetown way twice
defeated the St:nogs last season, and
also downed them a couple of times
two campaigns ago. Western had to
hustle to win last Winter, 20 to %, and
l8 to IS. The season before, after scor-
ing over the Stenogs, Al to 81, in their
first game, Western had to battle hard
to win the second, 26 to %.
Because of the fact that all five teams
appear to be good enough to make a
determined attack for the pennant,
everybody is expecting the series to
prove a WOW with the thrills beginning
with the very first game. No more of
a sure-fire attraction could have been
arranged than that opener between
Eastern and Tech, seeking its third
straight title. There is a very real
chance that the winner of the game
will land the pennant. At any rate,
the Lincoln Parkers and the wearers
of the Gray are generally regarded as
having the best chance to gain the flag
Business, Central and Western, though,
are considered by no means out. Of the
title picture.
Tech was to end formal preparation
for the Eastern test this afternoon with
a go against Hyattsville High on the
Mckinley floor. Eastern, believing 1t
cannot get too much hard work, after
polishing of George Washington fresh
men, 81 to 29, yesterday, will meet the
Boys Club at the latter's gym tonight,
tomorrow will take on Washington-Lee
High Of BalIston, Va, in the Eastern
gymnasium. and Thursday will try con-
illusions with Alexandria High, also at
Eastern.
Business and Western also are getting
in some telling practice. The Stenogs
were to face Gonzaga today on the
Business floor, where they will engage
Emerson tomorrow. Western was down
for a brush with Woodward this after
noon at the Central Y. M. c. A.
A whirlwind finish carried Easternato
victory over George Washington fresh
men. The Colonial Cubs were ahead,

BY the Associated Press
n JEW YORK, January Sin
an interview with the New
4 Y York Times, printed today,
Joseph w. Wear of Phila-
delphia, who is retiring as chair
man of the Davis Cup Committee
OF the United States Lawn Tennis
Association, declared himself OPP
posed to any change in Davis Cup
rules until the United States
again shall become the defending
cup holder.
Louis B. Daley, retiring president of
the U. 81 L. T. A, recently advocated
new Davis Cup regulation by which
players would be eligible for cup COM
petition for not more than three or
four years.
II agree" Wear told the Times. "that
certain changes should be made in the
play for the Davis Cup. Even since I
become chairman of the Davis Cup
committee l have thought that the
Davis Cup competition had grown to
SUCH dimensions and so much time was
required OF the players representing us
That the United States Lawn Tennis
ASSoclatlon should do something to
minimize the time a boy Should he
away from his business or collegiate
work. The only question in my mind
was when to make the necessary re-
forms.
Get Cup Back First.
Il am firmly of the opinion that in
fairness to France and the other ma
tons we should do nothing until we
have brought back the cup to the
United States. We must be careful not
to create the impression that we might
at times be unable to use our best
players and, therefore, were entering
the competition under a handicap.
France, England, Germany, Japan or
any other nation that wins from our
representatives should have the salts
faction OF feeling that they have won
from our best. We must not dim the
luster of any victory over us.
The whole idea back of the Davis
Cup Is to establish champion team.
The idea is not to give a player a few
years OF experience in international
play and then drop him. 1t is for
each nation to put its strongest repre-
Sentatives upon the field and determine
the champion nation. If we disuualify
player because he is married or has
represented us three years obviously
we are not going to put our greatest
strength on the court and the matches
90 not represent a championship.
Suggests 1881 Team.
II it is decided that it is to the
best interests of tennis and sport thai

that is well and good. But while
another country holds the cup it III
becomes us to advocate this change
or to attempt to make it binding on
other nations
Wear suggested that the 1881 Davis
Cup team be picked from among
George M. Lott, jr., of Chicago; Wilmer
Allison OF Austin, Tex; John Van Ryn
OF East Orange, N. j.; John Doeg OF
Santa Monica, national champiol,.
provided he Is available; Gregory Man
gin OF Newark N. j.; Sidney B. Wood.
Jr., and Frank Shields of New York
and possibly Ellsworth Vines and Cliff

The committee chairman suggested
that we have some excellent YOUNG
players coming up" and said he thought
we have good chance to bring hack
