"TeII you what" Burke sug-
gested as the teams squared off.
"My side will bet you fellows a
dime apiece we win"
.'Fair enough" Gen. Alvin
CrOwder snapped back. you're
on"
Whereupon the boys started
mixing it. And how they mixed
Burke, the ace of all volley
ball aces, played a phenomenal
game at the net, but Irving
Hadley and Sam West matched
him tap for tap.
Some lady fans shrilled eX,
citedly as the game progressed,
and Trainer Mike Martin, who
feigned neutrality but who ac'
tually wagered on the Jones COM
bine, threw duck fit.
Baxter, however, appeared in
superb form. Even Jones, when
delivering one of his customary
baWling outs on an outside ball,
held his peace.
Baxter Raves
Finally the teams were tied at
14-all, and one point was needed
to win the game. And, as Crow
der got off his service to Burke S
side of the net, HadeS broke loose.
Unable to restrain himself
further, Referee Baxter started
roofing. He implOred Burke to
get the deciding point, eau
toned Ad LiSka against one of
Lloyd Browns placements and
otherwise cheered the Burke
faction to victory.
Is it any wonder that Sam
Jones and his pals made a
break for Baxter as
the game closed? And that

Nevertheless, there were 1000
spectators jammed into the huge
auditorium last night to see
Champion Jimmy Londos throw
Paul Scissors" Jones in the
feature match with an "airplane"
spin after some 421a minutes of
graphing.
When all seat tickets had
been disposed Of by 8:15 o'clock,
Is minutes before the first bout
was to go on, Fire Marshal
Nicholson ordered that the
sale of standing room only"
be stopped. And there was
close to 1,5OO persons who failed
to gain entry.
The spectators were packed in
the rear three deep, though the
fire marshars office kept a pas
sageway open in case of emer-
gency. Yet, there wasn't an inch
of available space left hardly be-
fore the third bout started. There
was approximately 1000 persons
who stood throughout the pro-
ceedingS and this estimate in
cludes the orchestra and balcony.
Some of those fans having seats
way back in the orchestra
brought field glasses into play.
One would hardly think that
wrestling has graduated into the
class of grand opera, but it looks
that way.
The attendance was the largest,
for an indoor sports match in
Washington and such an old
timer as Pat O'Connor declares
he has never seen anything like
it in the city of Washington for
the past 80 years.
Hang on Radiators
The fans were hanging on
radiators, windows and anything
else that enabled them to get a
better view of the wreStlers. The
crush at the main entrances was
terrific as those fans, who had
bought their tickets in advance,
sought to enter.
Promoter Turner relieved the
congestion by opening the side
doors and passing the ticket hold
ers. In fact, Champion Londos
was forced to sneak through a
side door.
The match between LOndOS
and Jones was a scientific duel,
with each cautiously feeling out
the other for several minutes.
For the first 30 minutes, Jones
had the better of the argument
and forced LOndOS to crawl for

PREP SCHOOLS
QU|NTSPLAY

What may develop into the
outstanding battle of the prep
school basketball season looms
on the horizon for tonight, as
Gonzaga tangles with its former
conqueror, st. John, at the Con-
zaga Cym at $50.
Gonzaga is looked upon as
holding a slight edge, an increas-
ingly effective brand of basket
ball marking it's recent matches.
This will be the fourth ConSec-
utive game without rest for
the Johnnies, and this is eX-
pected to tell against them. The
Puppies have had plenty Of rest.
Gene AuguStefer and Bob
ScanlOn are regarded as st.
Johns chief bulwarks, with the
Eye-StreeterS depending largely
on the cleverneSs of Tommy
Nolan, Dick Fitzgerald and
Jack Hester.
If the Gonzaga quint has an
easy time tonight, they can give
thanks to the Central High, who
last night handed st. Johns a

sparkled with IL points. Angus

The complainant is Sam Jones'
crack Washington pitcher, and
the victim Assistant Frankie Bax-
ter, erstwhile philosopher and
volley ball referee.
For the past several seasons it
has been Baxter's custom to Of
ficiate in the spring volley ball
series made popular during the
regime of Bucky Harris. Loudly,
and somewhat proudly, he has
made his rulings.
Team ReOrganizes
For a time Baxter'S life was
imperilled by indignant players.
But the passing of Catcher Benny
Tate to the Chicago White Sox
and the temporary retirement of
Fred Marberry was thought to
have settled that.
This season, however, the Wash
ington volley team reorganized on
a bigger and better basis. And it
was not without some wrangling
that Baxter was permitted to
referee the daily sessions involving
teams captained by Jones and
Bobby Burke.
Before officially announcing
the appointment of Baxter the
two leaders got together and is
sued ultimatumS.
Among other things frankie
was told to call 'em as he saw 'em.
Too, he was impressed with the
Importance of absolute neutrality.
1t was apparent from the out
set that heated rivalry existed be-
tween the Jones-Rurke divisions.
Also that Baxter, at his best, had
a thankleSS job.
His rulings, however unbiased,
always drew a storm of protest.
Still he kept his chin up and, all
in all, made very good job of it.

Griffs Are Promising

Washington fans are fairly
eating up what they are witness
ing weekly in Joe Turner's pre-
sentations. and if they want to
be hoodwinked and cajoled and
pampered with gyrations which
stray far from legitimacy, it is
their own business. There is no
law to keep them from so de-
voting their time and money.
And lastly, a sports Polly
anna today would find cause
for much delight in the pros
poets of the Washington ball
club, which is about to call all
its veterans to its midst in Bi-
loxi and commence the real
serious work of the spring Ses-
sion.
Without waxing too enthusi-
aStic, it is only truthful and
fair to state that Washington
is knocking at the door of op-
portunity this season. With
the addition of Crowder to it's
plCCnlng SCa11 and With the
presence of Harry Rice to boil
Ster an outfield which has
grown steadily better since Sam
West started to find himself,
the team seems to be starting
the 1881 campaign with that
margin of improvement which
should give the Athletics much
worry.
On paper the Griffs look
great. On the field they should
look as good. barring such stu
pidity as Marberry starting to
slide bases and other Unforeseen
set-backS which turned the
breaks against us last season.
Come on, you Griffs, and come
on, YOU. PollyannaS!

Team Always On Toes

Both Curly Byrd and Burton
Shipley are to be congratulated,
and no doubt have been many
times in the last 48 hours, over
the splendid showing of their
quint. We saw Maryland in one
of its earlier games, that against
V. P. l., noting at the moment
that Shipley had his men on
their toes, but little realizing
we were looking at the future
Southern Conference cham
pions.
And, oh, yes! A Pollyanna
would find much over which
to smile at the packed
Auditorium during the meeting
of Jim Londos and Paul Jones,
particularly if Pollyanna is in
tereSted in box offices, gate re-
ceipts and the like. There's
something about this wrestling
gag which seems to have the
country by the ears this winter.
Never do we recall the pastime
taking such universal hold.
AS to the legitimacy of this
sport the way it is being run
now, only the wrestlers them
selves can say with any degree
of definiteness just how much
hippodroming is done But any
ordinary observer can sit mid
way of the house and determine
that the customers are enjoy
ing themselves, and, after all,
that is what counts.
Their attitude about modern
wrestling seems to be like that
of a spectator at the King Tut
Petrolle fight in New York last
week, to wit and viz: "If they
are taking, let's have more
fakeS!"

TERPS READY
FOR c. j.
GAMES

University of Maryland's track
team, already pretty well shot
to pieces by graduation of leading
members last June, has been
further hit by the withdrawal
from school of Henry Mcdonald,
all-around field man. Mcdonald
was a five-event man, competing
in the shotput, discus and javelin
throws, high jump and pole vault.
His withdrawal does not greatly
weaken Maryland's chances in
the track games tomorrow.
Coach Geary Eppley has only
five men around whom to build
his team for strenuous outdoor
schedule, and he will pe lucky if
he comes out on top in any of his
duel meets.
Few Proved Competitors
Jess Krapcovio, field man, who
was one of the leading scorers
last year; Bob Havell, sprinter;
Phil Cooper and Ralph Shure, dis
tance men, and Charlie Fouts,
Sprinter, pole vaulter and high
jumper, are the proved competi-
tors on Eppley's squad of about
thirty.
Bill KinnamOn, winner Of the
6OO-meter hurdles at the Penn
relays, who scored IA points
during the last outdoor cam
paign; Urban Linzey, quarter
and-a-half miller, who counted
65; Bob Quinn, sprinter, who
compiled 4O19; John Mcdonald,
who gathered 40, and Dick
White, sprinter and broad
jumper, who contributed 33, all
were lost by graduation.
Claude Smith, quarter miller;
Roland Brown, half miler, and
Jim Duncan, miller, are the most
promising men among the others
left from the 1880 squad.
Paul Herman, sprinter, and
James Busick, hurdler, high jump
er and pole vaulter, are the best
prospect to come up from last
years Freshman aggregation.

At one time it looked as though
the match would be over within
Is minutes. Londos had whirled
Jones around with an "airplane'
spin and hurled him to the mat
with a body slam. And how
that Jones boy worked to loosen
himself from that hold.

Jones got behind Londos, leaped
upon the champions back and
coiled his legs about the Greeks

way, but he managed to reach
the ropes, where Referee "Cy-

was forced to part the wrestlers.
Then came the "airplane" spin
and the blasting Of Jones
chances.
OF all the supporting matches
the crowd got the most kick
out of George Brown, who was
spilled by George Hagen in less
than three minutes. It wasn't
the swiftness with which Hagen
despatched Brown but the lat

CaddOck Looks Good
Babe" Caddock was the best
of the supporting cast. This new
conner from Iowa busted off Nick

with cradle hold. This match
was so hot that Referee Bennie
