Evening star., 1932-12-17

last night defeated George
- town in basket ball, 35 to
80, and which tonight
meets George washington, is
building up a system of athletics
which very shortly, if not now,
should be as successful as any
other in the South. And this Sys-
tenn, under the able supervision
and direction of Wallace Wade, is
on sound basis, with a strong
theme of continuation.
Last Fall Duke had an exceptionally
good foot ball team, it now is repre-
sented by a basket ball quint that prob
ably will stand about as well as any
of the others in the South, and opin-
ions at Duke are that the track and
base ball squads ought to measure up
to the standards of the two mentioned.
Dukes victory over Georgetown last
night is an indication of what may be
expected of it in the remainder of its
:.ourt schedule, because teams do not
come up here and whip Georgetown
without they have strength.
Eddie Cameron, coach of basket ball
at Duke for several years, gives almost
the entire credit for Dukes new ath-
letic organization to Wallace Wade.
About Wade he says:
wallace Wade is almost entirely re-
SponSible for our present athletic or
ganization, which I consider to be as
efficient as any other I know about.
hn at
Duke SO well in hand that he already
has co-ordnated the various athletic
groups so that all are working together
and with the same purposes.
There are no cross purposes as far
as we are concerned He has widened
and bettered the Duke schedules, so
that We are meeting the best in the
East and in the South, and in addition
to intercollegiate athletics is rapidly
organizing intramural sports into a
program of physical education so that
IN that field also we are having rapid
growth. incidentally, in intercollegiate
athletics We are becoming more sue
ceSsful, and will continue to have our
share of successes.
GEORGE WASHINGTON'S veteran
" team tonight entertains Duke on
the Tech floor, at 7:3O sharp.
With Duke victorious over the Blue and
Gray, the game should be exceptionally
attractive to all local followers Of the
sport. The Colonials could not have
had a better break, if they had Or
dained it for themselves
If George Washington can whip
Duke the result will be regarded
real triumph. Following the defeat by
Missouri, the Colonials could ask for
nothing more than to whip the five that
won from Georgetown. But the Co.
lonials probably will not have very
easy task, unless the visitors suffer
somewhat from their contest of last
night.
THE two men who formed most of
i George Washington's offense last
year and who were being counted
upon just as heavily this season will
be missing tonight against Duke. They
are Forest Burgess, who is ineligible
because of Southern Conference rule
prohibiting the use of transfer students,
and Wick Parrack, 6-foot 5-inch run
ming match of Burgess who is ill.
Jimmy Howell and Bill Noonan,
sophomores, will supplant Burgess and
Parrack at the forward posts. Noonan
is former Eastern High School youth.
Il
l. with deeds of youths who absorbed
their basket ball on Washington
cholastic teams, but if Jimmy Thomp-
sons play with the Blue Devils last
night against Georgetown was a fair
sample of his value to Duke. his name
belongs along with that of Werber,
Councillor and CroSon.
Jimmy was the hub extensively and
defensiyely of fast-breaking Duke
team which whipped Georgetown last
night He was only one point shy OF
scoring half of his teams total.
Duke. thanks to the former Western
High boy, hoped off to an 8-point lead
before Georgetown was able to find the
hoop. The remainder of the half
mainly was case of j. Thompson VS..
Georgetown and it ended Duke, "a;
Georgetown, 10.
Duke with Herb Thompson, brother
of Jimmy; Weaver, and the rest of the
smooth-working Blue Devil quint, held
the lead during the entire second half.
Tom Carolan and Ed Hargadan were
most impressive for Georgetown.
Summary:
