LEWIS AGAIN

Local fans will learn tonight
the better wrestler, Ed "Stran-
gler" Lewis or Tiny Roebuck, for
these two tanglers are again mix
ing at the Washington Audi
torium in the feature contest.
Their last match ended unsatis-
factorily, many fans declaring
that Roebuck had pinned Lewis,
but Referee Cyclone Burns was
outside the ropes at the time.
Local fans will not be annoyed
by Mr.. Burns tonight for Charlie
Swami has been assigned to
handle the tilt.
Lewis is favored to win over
the huSkey Indian, though both
are of the same weight. How
ever, the former has the greater
experience and skill, having been
in the game over 20 years. The
Stranger engaged some Of the
great grapplers of another era
while Roebuck is just a rising

circumstance.

causes the left wrist to pro-
ject straight out from the
shaft, at the top of your back

top, points more toward the
ball. The former wrist position
is weak, the latter one power

STRICT BOWLERS FAVORED IN ATLANTIC COAST STAKES
TWO EPISODES

Of SPORTS

1t all depends on your point Of
view. Mental attitude is all-im.
portant. Recently, two episodes
of intercollegiate athletics fur
nished two groups with bone OF
contention. The argument is now
raging.
Episode No. l involved Gentry,
heavyweight boxer Of the Uni
versity of Virginia.
Episode No. 2 involved Nordell.
track star of New York Univer.
sity.
In the case of Gentry, the
Cavalier boxer was to fight Hill
of Tulane, for the championship
of the Southern Conference. Five
minutes before the time set for
the bout, Gentry was given a
medical examination. Doctors
said he had very fast heart
beat count. They further ex.
planned that if Gentry entered
the ring a serious situation might
develop, although chances fol-
such a situation were slight. Vir-
ginia athletic authorities lmmed-
lately ruled against Gentry enter
ing the ring.
COlIapses At Finish
In the case of Nordell, the
great Violet runner ran second
to Pen Hallowell, of Harvard, in
the 4:12.4 mile. 1t is thought
that Nordell's time was not worse
than Alb. Thirty-five minutes
later, Nordell ran the anchor leg
of the two mile relay for N. Y
u, collapsing as he crossed the
finish line a few feet in front OF
Moynahan, of Boston College.
That group of persons who in
sist that high-powered methods
are employed by college coaches
contend that Virginia athletic
authorities served the best pur'
poses of intercollegiate sport
when they refused to permit Gen

York University athletic authori'
ties we're guilty of using Of high

pulling races within a period OF
35 minutes.
That group of persons who in
sist that highpowered methods
are not employed by college
coaches claim that Virginia was
wrong and New York University
was right.
Opposite Views
Group No. / contends that col
lege athletes are used" for really
professional purposes. Group No
2 claims just the opposite.
Regardless of contentious OF
the two groups, it is such Incl
dents as the Nordell affair which
have brought much censure down
on intercollegiate competition and
which have caused widespread
movement to curb the activities
of various college coaches.
It is very doubtful that the
running of two such rt-test'
ing runs as Nordell undertook
within a 35-minute period aided
that young mans health. There
are many physicians who will
say that the two runs possibly
or probably, did Nordell some
harm.
In any event, intercollegiate es
adjustments should realize that
many, many persons are checking
up on intercollegiate sports with
the avowed purpose of exposing
intercollegiate competition in a
very undesirable light.
It behooves college coaches to
temper desire for victory with
common sense, if the good name
of intercollegiate sport is to be
| preserved.

TRANSPORT COMPANY SHOWS
INTEREST IN PROPOSED PLAN
MARYLAND BUSINESS MEN
BEING SOUNDED ON PROJECT
1t is Said New Line Would Connect
in Wilmington With Washing
ton-New York Service

The establishment of regular air
plane service for passengers and
express between Salisbury and
Wilmington, looms as possibility
since it is learned that an air
transport company is interested in
such venture. Business men on
the shore are being interviewed by
representatives of the company
that they might determine as near
ly as possible the extent of patron
age the line, if established, could
expect. The line from Salisbury
would connect with the Ludington
line, which is at present making
scheduled hourly air trips from
New York to Washington, landing
at Bellanca Field, Wilmington. A
S12 passenger rate from Salisbury
to Wilmington is proposed by the
company. Changing to the Lud-
ington planes at Wilmington, the
passenger bound for New York or
Washington would pay 81 addition
al, or a total of $40. From Will
mington to Philadelphia or Balti-
more the Ludington line charges a
S5 fare. The trip from Salisbury
to New York or Washington could
be made in two hours, and to Phil
adelphia or Baltimore within an
hour and a half. A graduated
scale of rates for packages would
be worked out by the company. A
field near the city limits would be
used, and once established the rep
resentatives say the planes will be
run on regular schedule. The
Ludington line operates tri-motor-
ed Stimson planes. New equip
ment would be used between Sails
bury and Wilmington, it was said.
