BONLERS ROLL
8 400 SETS

Russell Spillman, 10 years old
and a newcomer to the duckpin
game, has been putting on some
"hot mitts." Last night he
handed in his cro%ning achieve
ment, a 40 set in the Maryland
Virginia Suburban League.
1t was the sock which aided
RoSslyn in tying another can
onto Henry HiSer's Bethesda Ma
tional champions. His games
we're 127, ITO and 113. The ITO
is a new league record, while the
410 set is only one pin shy of
the leagues high set, All, held
by Perce Wolfe.
SpilIman is riding along in
the ROSSlyn Independent League
with an average Of liz. His
delivery is smooth, and lands
|. the ball full in the pocket
almost always.
The College. Parkers, with
George L. ISemann, and Tommy
Walker as strong factors, added
Dixie Pigs to its list of victims
last night. They had already
whipped Silver Spring and Hyatts-
vile. These three teams are
fighting for the lead.
Rendezvous was prac cally
knocked out of the District
League race when Temple, the
leaders, white-washed them last
night to fatten their lead ma
terially. It was Make Rosen-
berg's 422 set, his second 400 set
in this league in less than two
weeks, which provided the punch.

SEEKING
DIRECTOR

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Jan. 16.
A new director of athletics was
sought today by Union College.
Harold Anson Bruce, present
director and noted as track coach,
has submitted his resignation, to
take effect at the end of the
academic year.
Bruce said that he was not in
accord with the athletic policy of
the college, branding it as ideahS-
tic and impractical. He said
standards set forth in the recent
bulletin No. 25 of the Carnegie
Foundation report on college ath-
letics were not in question, as
these standards had governed
Unions athletics for years.

COAST FLASH
RULESHEAVY
FAVOR|TE

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Tonight
In the ring at Madison Square
Garden, Max Baer, young and
promising California heavyweight,
who aspires to become another
Dempsey, will be showed in there
against an old and fading vet
eran by the name of Tom Heeney,
the crushed hard rock from
down under" in what is billed as
q 10-round bout. 1t should be a
soft touch for handsome Max.
If Baer doesn't whip good old
honest Tom it will just be too
bad for Max.
Nearly everybody has been
kicking Tom around since he was
given an artistic lacing by Gene
Tunney in Tunney's last fight
on the night of July 26, 1928, in
New York. And if Max cannot
take this ring-beaten old-timer
tonight, his prestige will drop
and the critics are certain to say
the cocky Californian isn't the
man he thinks ne is.
Odds Favor Baer
Betting was 2 to l today, how
ever, that Baer will win. The
wise guys along Broadway figure
this spot tonight was picked for
Max, who needs to be brought
along" and built up.
The consensus was, after Max
dropped a close decision to Ernie
Schaaf a few weeks ago in his
first Broadway appearance, that
he was a year away. Max made
a great showing against the ex-
perienced Schaaf although 1t
wasn't good enough to win.
The gamblers along the flstlc
Rislto cannot see how Max-a
courageous chap with a real punch
can miss against Heeney even
though the young Californian is
woefully green on defense. They
simply believe Old Tom hasn't
enough left to beat this cookbook
ing. black-haired youth who reVels
in a good, old-fashioned battle.
Heeney has been somewhat OF
a "dud" since Tunney cut him
tc ribbons in their fight which
the referee was forced TO stop in
the eleventh round after Tom
had taken a terrific Snellacking.
Up to that night, the sturdy New
Zealander was a steel-ribbed, iron
chinned battler, as rugged man
as they came. Tunney, whom they
said was no puncher, certainly
left his mark on Heeney.
Not So Good
Since the night of the Tunney-
Heeney bout year and one-half
has elapsed and Heeney has
made nine starts.
He was stopped twice, by Vic
torio Campolo and Tuffy Grit
fiths; he lost decisions to Jimmy
Maloney, whom he had previously
beaten, and to Otto Won Porat,
Emmett Rocco and Frank Cav
ley; he won from Elzear Rioux
O1 d 4Ou1, nI1N AlC OuOPOAA4UCh
George Panka and George Hoff-
man.
Not 50 good for old Tom who,
before he met Tunney, boxed
draws with Jack Sharkey and
E Pauline, OutpOinted Jack De-
laney and knocked out Ma
lOney in one round.
Jack Dempsey, former heavy.
weight champion of the world, is
expected to referee one of the
bouts on the Garden card tonight
probably the main go between
Baer and Heeney. Dempsey is
Baer's idol and with Jack in
there as the third man in the
ring the Californian will extend
himself.
Both men will tip the beam
around 200, Heeney about 2o7.

his long-desired right-hand hit

Upon the advice Of Brother
Earl, fleet center fielder Of the
Boston Braves, Tom Clark, local

It is thought that Tom will be
farmed out to a minor league
for more experience.

.H0YA QU|NT
To OPPOSE
DUQUESNE
By JOE HOLMAN


Road features will comprise the
bulk Of a heavy schedule in
volving District college basket
ball teams tonight.
Locally Duquesne will bring
to a close a three-game invasion
of washington against George
town University at Tech audi
torium, $50 o'clock.
Georgetown freshmen and
Dewitt face in the preliminary.
COlOnials Play
George Washington enters the
second leg of its Virginia tour
against University of Richmond
in Richmond, Va; American Uni
versity journeys to ToWSon, Md,
to meet Maryland Normal; Balti-
more Loyola entertainS Catholic
University in Baltimore, and Gal
laudet visits st. Johns.
Thrills galore abOunded To-
cally last night as crack visitors
bowed to District college talent.
Maryland University's tossers,
playing to packed house, showed
surprising strength while conquer
in formidable Duke, 80 to "a.
Catholic u, in the meantime,
was sending DuqueSne down for
a % to "a game in an upset COM
parable with the recent George
Washington surprise.
George Washington got back
into stride against Randolph
Macon. Opposing the Southerners
in Ashland, Va, Jim Pixlee'S
crowd marked up a 1888 decision.
Forrest Burgess resumed his
point scoring spree with an 18
count total. Eight tosses from
Scrimmage and two from the free
zone constituted his perform
ance. Jack Conner, shifty guard,
hooked in seven double-deckers.
BOzie- -CrOSOn
The Maryland-Duke duel found
Bozie Berger, Terrapin ace of
aces, sharing laurels with another
eX-techite, Big Joe CroSon.
Bozie played superlative all
around ball while caShing himself
six pretty baskets from the floor
and a quartet of penalty efforts.
Croson, in the meantime, kept
Duke in the running with IL
tallies while other ex-DiStrict
scholastics, Ted Cappelli and
Nelson Colley, played superior
floor games.
The going was fast and furi-
Gus all the way with neither
team permitting a let-up.
The loss of McKeever, star
center, on personals midway in
the first half played havoc with
DuqueSne's chances against Catho-
lie. This along with the great
form uncovered by Spinelli.
The Cardinals were hard
pressed in the first half which
wound up in their favor, 1872.
McKeever's loss apparently de-
moralized the Pittsburghers, how
ever, since Catholic carried the
battle to its opponent thereafter.
