COACH SEES
.GOOD YEAR
!. AHEAD
BY GARRETT WATERS


With five experienced men on
hand from last years team,
Coach Bruce Kessler, of st. Alban'S
Prep, is viewing basketball at the
Wisconsin Avenue institution
with plenty of smiles these days.
I "The youngsters are all In
pretty good shape" lie says.
''This is one reason why things
should 60 well this season.
Every one of the five hold
OVers played football, and need
only the usual early year prac.N
tice sessions to get into the
swing Of things"
There is an important thought
about the Saints this year. 1t
is the fact that Bob Freeman,
one of the best centers to ever
grace a local school floor, is
missing. Freeman. a tower OF
strength to the wisconsin Avenue
lads last year, has graduated.
New System
Coach Kessler feels, however,
that his loss will be made up by
the concentrated manner in
which the present collection OF
candidates will play. Their ef.
forts will be to make a good
showing collectively, rather than
around the work of one man,
which has been the case in the
past with Freeman on hand as
the guiding hand.
Twelve men are out for varsity
basketball at the present time.
OF these. CheSley, captain and
guard; Shipper. another guard:
Craighill, center. and MCGEE and
Lorton, forwards, comprise the
list of hold-overs from the l93O'31
team. ..- -,
These players. no doubt, will
form the regular. or first string
team, with Patton, a forward.
and Cornwell. guard, newcom-
ers, falling into the places known
as first string reserves.
Open Season January 8
The Saints will not begin their
season until January 9, it is
cleaned from the schedule. On
this day Episcopal High will be
met at Alexandria. Va.

LOUGHRAN
BY LES CONKLIN

NEW YORK, Dec. 18.-The
popular fistic sport of attempt.
ing to knock out Tommy
Loughran. unsuccessfully tried by
nearly all leading heavyweights
except Jack Sharkey, will be
eSsayed tonight by King Levinsky,
wild-swinging Chicagoan.
Loughran is a 13 to 5 favorite
to outpoint the Kingfish in their
10-round bout at Madison Square
arden. The Philadelphian
showed in gymnasium workouts
this week that he is as hard 20
hit as ever.
About a year ago LevinSky met
Loughran in 10.round bout at
Chicago and floored the Phila.
delphian with a wild swing to the
jaw. Prof. Loughran managed to
get up at the count of nine and
spear his way to the decision.
Since then the 21-year-old
Levinsky has come along fast,
beating several good men and
holding Primo Camera to a close
decision.
The Kingfish may floor Lough-
ran couple of times tonight
and still lose the decision, unless
he registers a knockout, for
Tommy figures to give him a
boxing lesson most of the way.
Victory for Levinsky would put
the Jewish heavyweight in the
first rank of contenders in the
heavyweight elimination tourna-
ment planned by Madison Square
Garde to set up rival champion
to Max Schmeling.

THRILLS MARK
MAT BOUTS

Promoter Joe Turner need not
worry about his winters food ii
he continues to give his wrestling
customers the same thrilling
shows as the one presented last
night at the Washington Audi
torium. Five bouts graced the
card. and everyone was head
liner, packed with excitement
Approximately $500 spectators
were in attendance, proving that
the wrestling game is not falling
off here.
The feature match of the eve
ming went to Dick Shikat when
Sander Szabo, trying a flying
tackle. catapulted through the
ropes and the fall into the orches'
ira pit rendered him senseleSS
He lay motionless for fully 20
seconds and Referee Cyclone
Burns counted him out. This
automatically gave Shikat the
decision.
Fans Hiss Skikat
Regaining his feet, the Hungar
ian, assisted by the fans, re-entereC
the ring, not knowing he had lost
the bout on a technicality. He
started to pummel Referee Burns
but collapsed on the mat. Some OF
the fans cast ugly blances and
hurled vile words at the German
who was innocent of any wrong
doing. All he did was to step aside
and let the charging Szabo pass
Maybe the fans hated Shikat be
cause he had tainted SZabO'S locaI
record, the Hungarian having pre-
viously won every match here.
The pair had been graphing
in q stirring struggle for over
80 minutes before the unfortunate
incident ended their warfare
Much to the surprise of the
fans, the bout was exceedingly
rough and Szabo handled Shikat
who had a 2O-pound pull in the
weights, in the manner of a
stevedore unloading crates.
Also, it appeared that Szabo
was bout to finish off Shikat
as he had flipped the big Ger
man several times to the mat by
virtue of headlocks and body
slams.
Excitement Dominates
The fans saw action in the open
ing bout between Joe Cox, of Kan
sas City, and George Hagen, the
ex-Marine. This was probably the
best Of the evening and the boys
toiled to a 3O-minute draw. II
was the roughest match on th
card and the fans were in a con
Stant uproar.
Pat O'Shocker put that crueI
Injun'. Chief White Feather, in his
place last night, winning in IS
minutes with a body slam. This

George Honey, Temples bril-.
liant cunny-thum ace, who several
weeks ago startled the duckpin
fraternity with a AS set in the
Building Contractors League, and
has been 1amenting ever since
that he couldn't get going any
more, got going plenty fast yester.
day afternoon at Temple against
Bill Clark.
George, after an Indifferent
start in the first two boxes,
rolled four consecutive strikes,
added three spares and climaxed
the performance with strike for
an even 200 game.
Honey'S two games prior to the
200, were 149 and l22. Giving
him 471 for set.
Rees Has All Set
Strange as it seems this set was
matched to the pin at Convention
Hall last night by Eddie Rees,
East Washington Church League
shooter, rolling practice games
with Walter Smelling, ReeS
smashed out games of $50, ITO
and ISL for a All set, thus Shar-
ing with Honey the honor of
having rolled the highest set this
year.
Honey, however, can boast
three outstanding performances,
having rolled the highest single
game, 200, the highest set. All,
and the highest league set, AS.
Father Czyz' Immaculate Con-
ception Iron men" continue
their winning way in the Section
B, Holy Name League. Last
night they set st. Peters down
twice, with L. Demeza leading
the charge. They have been the
only team able to win one game
from the fast-flying st. Stephen
team, which is running away
with the league.
Louie Pantos, leading Greek
bowler of the city, has finally
struck his stride, hanging up a
428 set in the Recreation League
with games of 1853, 118, 142. Pan
toS led this league last year with
q 1l9 average. His set gave
Union Terminal Market a sweep
over Dodgers.
Margaret Brunelle has one of
the toughest and most brilliant
records to her credit, rolling a
flat 81 in the Ladies Federal
League. Rolling a flat game of
that proportion requires consider
ably more skill and is more try
ing than a record high game.
Lucille Young's 345 set topped the
nights work.
Rendezvous Bows
Rendezvous, last year District
League champions, couldn't save
themselves from a Shutout at the
hand of Hyattsville on the latter'S
drives. Bob Temple, sensational
newcomer, led the Baltimore Pike
men with a 365 set and 140 game.
Lucky Strike broke the tape
twice ahead of Judd & Detweiler
in the National Capital League,
but Bill Beatty'S las game and
361 set, saved the Printers from
a complete waShout.
Norman Miller and Skeen, both
members of the Mt. Vernon
team, in the Georgetown Church
League, ended with 1853 each, to
top the league for the night, but
Norman had a 143 game. r.
Hart'S lat was the high individual
effort, however.
The King Pin girls finish their
match with the Tiny Town team

carloads have been shipped. The
seasons total will be in the neigh
borhood of $1,000 cars.
The average growing cost payroll
on the lettuce deal is $4,000, 900.
Each year the industry pays to
! landowners in the valley for rent,
s778,375. The figures are approx
mate in both cases and highly con-
servative.
Turning to the cantaloupe crop,
equally large figures are encount-
cred. The acreage last season was
33,497 and the total cars and trucks
shipped amounted to 11,736. The
average growing cost payroll is esti-
mated at S3,500000 and the rental
paid to landowners is S1,O27 900,
| with more conservatism being
shown.
Huge Labor Costs
Honeydews, honeyballs and other
miscellaneous melons planted here
last season required 14,140 acres,
and $500 carloads were shipped.
The average growing cost payroll
was $2000,000.
TO get at close grips with a real
ly big figure, one has only to hear
what the fruit and vegetable in
dustry pays for labor in producing
and shipping its huge crops. The
sum is roundly estimated at $1O,00O,-
600 annually. That's enough to
give every resident in Imperial VAL
ley a sizeable chunk of Uncle Sans
gold. In addition, the fruit and
vegetable industry spends S1,20O,OOO
annually for supplies.

mental answer to the white spot"
