Washington, the seethingest
duckpin cauldron in the United
States, will spill over the sides
during the next two weeks, for
it's nativs sons, those on the up
grade, those who are strolling
across the pinnacle and some who
are heading down hill will lock
horns with the class Of the rest
of the country in special events.
The United States Sweepstakes,
scheduled for January 2 at the
Recreation alleys in Baltimore, is
sure to draw every duckpin star
of any magnitude, and the Dis

fray loaded with favorites, such
as Ollie Pacini, recently crowned
Washington Times Dixie Sweep

phenomenal 100 pace in that
league during the first series is
without parallel anywhere; Henry
Hiser, who is averaging 124 in
the Maryland-Virgini Suburban
League: Red Megaw, Hokie Smith,
Brad "Iandley and Earl Nc

Dubofsky Sparkles

We've got a splendid Jewish
guard right out here at George
town by the name of Morris
Dubofsky who received ALI
America mention on the teams
of many of, the leading grid
iron handicappers. Other ex-
cellent Jewish guards are Rosen-
berg, of Southern California;
Weinstock, of Columbia; Arm
stein of New York University,
and Myerson, of Harvard.
For ends Captain Hirschberg,
Of Pittsburgh. teamed with Gil
man, of Ohio State; Vein, OF
Chicago, or Stoneberg, would
sparkle on any gridiron, giving
the safety man little or no
chance to run back kicks. AS
well as being good defensive
ends they can block for their
backs with the very best. On
the gridiron that quartet is not
only credit to the universities
it represents but a tribute to
the race whose blood runs
through their veins.
For tackles SamuelS and First

ing, although Rottenberg and
Kopans, the former Of the Ore
gon Aggies and the latter OF
Harvard, also rank well. Sam

TERPS To OPEN
WITH BADGERS
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

DIV UEVNNE fAs O4W1K oOAN
Christmas usually brings an in
terruption to the labors of col
lege athletes, but not for the
Maryland University basketeers,
who are training daily for their
scontest with Wisconsin University
at Madison, Wis, one week from
tonight. This game marks the
opening of the 1892 season for
the Southern Conference cham
pions.
Wisconsin, coached by DR.. Wal
ter Meanwell, is one of the lead
ers in Western basketball. Mean,
well, whose system has been cop,
led by other coaches, is Mary.
land alumnus, having graduated
from the medical school in Bal
timore.
His style is the short-passing
game and block plays, much along
the order of the pro teams. Bur
ton Shipley, Maryland coach,
uses the zone defense with a
quick breaking offenSe.
Began Practice Early
Two factors may swing the
scales to Wisconsin. The Badgers
began practice in october, whereas
the Maryland boys have been
drilling less than two weeks
Seven of the nine players who
will make the trip were members
of the football team and did not
report until a week after the final
football game with Western Mary
land on December S.
Also, the Western basketball Of
ficials permit a more liberal use
of the block play than the Eastern
whistle-tooters. Says Coach Ship
ley:
'Tf we hold Wisconsin to q
low score, we'll be doing about
as good as expected. Doc
MeanweII always develops
strong five at Wisconsin. Wen
make them step at top speed,
at that"
Maryland will be handicapped
without Charlie May, who Is work
ing during the Christmas holi'
days. Charlie didn't draw much
praise last year, but he was valu'
able as a substitute. Many were
the times when he steadied q
Maryland team that was near col
lapse.
Team Eeaves Tuesday
The team will entrain Tuesday
at / o'clock and arrive in Madison
the next day at 1880 p. m. Those
who will make the trip are Norris
and Vincent. centers; Chalmers
Ronkin, Wilson and Chase, for
wards, and Berger, Wright and
Buscher, guards.
OF these, Norris, Berger
Ronkin, Chalmers and Wilson
were regulars last year. The other
four are from Jack F'aber'S unde
feated Freshman five Of last year
The team went through q
furious scrimmage with Jack

afternoon in the Ritchie gym
Filling in for the "Omelettes'
were AL Heagy and Everett

INTERNATIONAL BANK.
LEADER IS WITNESS
AT HOUSE HEARING.
Dawson Denies Nations Had
Money on Deposit For
Moratorium Payments

Washington, Dec. 17.-(P)-An in
ternational banker told the house
Ways and Means committee Thursday
that Great Britain, France and Italy
did not have on deposit with their fis-
cal agents the funds with which to
meet their debt payments due to this
country on December 15..
Henry p. Dawson, of J. p. Morgan
and Company, the fiscal agent for
those countries, called to testify re-
garding press reports that the coun-
tries had had the funds on deposit,
said:
They did not have funds with us
and did not offer any,"
Dawson said he assumed any such
deposits would have been made with
the house he represents.
"Of course they have current work.
ing funds" he said.
He said he would have known about
it II the three countries had offered
to make deposits for payments.
Opponents of ratification of the
presidents plan to suspend debt pay
ments for one year had cited press re-
ports that the funds were on deposit
as evidence that the suspension was
unnecessary.
The house will receive the morator-
ium ratification plan in time for a
vote Friday or Saturday unless unex-
pected developments block its path.
Despite the amount of opposition
which has shown itself, victory for the
debt plan was not expected to prove
difficult.
Rankin asked if ]. P. Morgan and
Company would not have paid the
December Is debt payments II re-
quested to do so by the countries:
Dawson nodded in assent but later
added:
Assuming they had the funds with
U.s."
Are not your financial relations
with these countries such that you
would have met the payment at their
request anyhow"
Dawson declined to answer.
