Tootsie Bashara of the famed ring
family of Norfolk Basharas lost an
eight-round decision to Ray Bowen of
the famed ring family OF Bowens in the
eight-round semi-final
Ray, said to be the best boxer in
the Bowen family, displayed a well
tutored left hook against the rugged,
inside punching Bashara. Tootsie's
efforts toward victory were confined
to lowering his head during the in
fighting and bringing up a right
hand uppercut which very frequently
teetered Bowen. But the latter's
long-range boxing and the snap in
his left-hand jabs won the fight for
him. Bowen, weighing 14I pounds,
outweighed his rival by eight pounds
and was many inches taller. Despite
the difference in weight and height

Young Van, probably the most
natural fighter to be developed here
since the advent of the Portner
shows, dropped Sailor Jack Potter,
weighing seven pounds less. to the
mat for a 10 count in the second
round of scheduled four-rounder.
Van, a light-heavy, possesses what
few young fighters, particularly big
boys, have, in a short right hook
and a menacing left jab. Not only
does the Washington boy have these
qualifications, but he knows how to
use them under fire. And it was his
fifth straight win, all of them end

IVAN is a "stand-up" fighter, ring

to stalk his foe there is nothing green

change with experience, and when it

McKechnie Has Lots of Tall

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
~ OSTON, January THE off sea-
X m son m has been the dullest in years
for the Boston Braves and new
faces will be few when Man
ager Bill McKechnie starts the 1882
operations in st. Petersburg, Fla, late
next month.
The Tribe was, and still is, overbur-
dened with trading material but its
chieftains were able to make only two
important deals to bolster the weakest
hitting outfit in the National League
The outstanding trade reinstated Art
SllreS as q big Lacquer and the great
one, who had quite a year with Mil
Waukee, is bent on becoming the best
hrSt baSeman in the senior circuit. Bill
knothe, who labored in Seattle during
1881, will cross the continent 70 try to
plug the wide gap at third base.
The passing to Louisville of Freddy
Mcguire will force McKechnie to move
the colorful Rabbit Maranville over to
second base and give Bill UrbanSki the
aging midget's old shortstop berth.
Only Punch in Outfield.
Most Of the Braves hitting last sea-
son was supplied by the Outfield, Wally
Berger, Yves Schulmerich and Bob
Worthington, and this trio has not been
tampered with Randy Moore and Earl
Clark will again serve as utility fieldeS
Berger one of five National Leaguers
to play in every game, closed last season
with a 1928 batting average, getting 1879
hits, including A doubles and 10
homers. Schulmerich was the only
other Brave to pass 800. The Tribe,
as a whole, hit for .258, against the
leagues team average of PIT, and its
fielding was only point better than
the 971 general average.
Nothing much has been done to
strengthen the pitching staff, which
collapsed late last season, and Ed
Brandt, Tom Zachary and Harry
Seibold, who were credited with SO of
the Tribes 81 victories again will carry
the hurting burdens.
McKechnie has plenty OF other pitch
ers and it is likely that he will attempt
to trade some of them. He could use
a seasoned catcher to help hard-work-
ing Al Spohrer, whose ludicrous battle
with Shires still is enshrined in the
memory of the New England boxing

VIRGINIA BASKETERS

Rally to Win, 1882.

UNIVERSITY, Va, January 7-Vir-
gin!a is all keyed up for the second
/ basket ball game Of the season, which
brings Navy to the Memorial Gym
nasium on Saturday night. The game
Will be started at o'clock.
Navy has never before visited the
Memorial Gymnasium for a basket ball
game. The Middle boxers were here
in 1928 and tie track team from An
napolls has performed on Lambeth
Field several times.
Virginia'S overconfidence almost lost
the game with william and Mary last
night that opened the season. Within
the first 10 minutes the Cavaliers
played almost perfectly on offense to
run up l4-to-4 advantage Then they
paused to catch their breath. Soon
afterward Reggie Hudson, regular CEN
ter, went out with four personal fouls.
and the passing combination was dis
rupted.
William and Mary came from behind
TO tie the score l8 all at half time and
to take the lead after the intermission.
Close guarding on the part of the
visitors kept Virginia trailing until the
Indians had the count 80 to % in their
favor. Then four penalties and an in
jury cost them two of their starting
lineup.
With five minutes to play w. and M.

who was sent in as a substitute guard,
started the scoring rally. And when
Virginia Rad pulled up until they were
only l point behind, Thomas sank the
winning basket with 80 seconds left
to play. The score was 1892.
Navy is known to have a stronger
team than William and Mary, and
Coach Gus Tebell thinks that the
Cavalier chances of victory are not so
good.

n YEW YORK, January 7.-Lafay-
M cite has dropped her system of
v intra-mural foot ball with a
great deal of apparent salts
faction The whole scheme has
been rooted out, as gardener grubs
out plants that have failed and merely
clutter up space. IN other words, the
Lafayette plan has failed.
Reasons for the failure, and, in fact,
the full experience of the institution at
Easton in tra-college foot ball might
repay the investigation Of university
authorities. athletic and otherwise, at
Harvard, Yale and Princeton.
For at recent gatherings in this city
of athletic directors, coaches, faculty
men and other authorities Of the COL
leges of the country 1t became trcreas-
ingly evident that these three aged
seats of learning are looking forward
to certain very radical changes in the
conduct Of athletics.
At Harvard the undergraduate living
halls are now in active use and plans
are being considered to draw these
various dormitories together in athletic
concert.
Yale is looking forward to the time
when her quadrangular dormitory sys-
tenn will go into effect. She, too, must
consider the question of athletic COM
petition among the students of the re-
spective living areas. Princeton, expect
ing no such change in living as has
been promulgated at New Haven and
Cambridge, has none the less expressed
herself as willing to arrange interclass
and interclub sports upon approximate
ly such terms as Yale will devise.
With such project under way, the
idea is that such distractions as in
tercollegiate foot ball effects will not
be permitted and that the playing by
the varsity eleven of two or three games
in November will mark the maximum
expression of intercollegiate foot ball.
Now the Lafayette brand differs from
the tentative plans under consideration
by the big three" inasmuch as La
fayette maintained complete inter-
collegiate schedule. On the other hand
the college did go very thoroughly into
the intramural games. These were Or

Gil requested George Little to resign as

In approximately an hour late yes
terday the committee gained an insight

1t was learned that the council took
a straw ballot, on which Glenn Thistle
thwaite, head foot ball coach, received
the five faculty votes for director, and
that DR.. Walter Meanwell, basket ball
coach, received two votes. The COM
mittee also was told that Irwin Uteritz,

letics, represented compromise be-

ton was discussed and the final senti-
ment was that every possible effort next
year should be bent toward whipping
Maryland, without consideration for the
game with Virginia, v. P. I. or any
other school.
AS a matter of fact, it is not likely
that Washington and Lee will be the
only school in Virginia cunning for
Maryland next Fall For the last two
years the Old Liners have made clean
sweep of the big four of that State,
Washington and Lee, v. M. l., Virginia
and V. P. l., and there is every likeli-
hood that the gantlet they will have
to run with these four schools next year
will be plenty rough.

and one defeat, expect to add to their
