HOWARD LOSES
TOL|NCOLN

Howard University courtmen
dropped their third consecutive
contest of the season last night
as the Lincoln University tosSers
won by the wide margin of 33 to
81 in the locals gym.
Both teams got off to flying
start, and as half time came the
visitors we're leading IL to IL.
The Howard defense weakened in
the second half, and Lincoln by
superior floor play pulled away
to a comfortable lead and finally
the game. ,
Syphax and Hall, as usual, led
the Bisons' attack. They, how
ever, failed to cope with the fast
running and sensational shooting
of Avery, Byrd. Perkins and Ber-
gen, of the Lions.
The Morgan College toSsers will
meet Howard here on Monday
night. Morgan's long string OF
victories, which covered a period
of seven years, was recently
broken by Howard.

HOYAF|vE JOLTS
PITT PANTHERS

In one of the best collegiate
games seen here this season,
Georgetown University handed
the University of Pittsburgh five
a 33-to-3O trouncing last night
before some 1000 fans at the
Tech gymnasium.
Georgetown played a fearless
game against the highly-touted
invaders. The Hoyas were led by
Tom Carolan, who calmly sank
six baskets and two fouls through
the rims for IA points.
The second half of the game
was the most exciting. It was
here that Georgetown exhibited
its greatest gamenesS, matching
point for point and holding on
to a slim lead to the very end.
The crowd as well as the players
were exhausted persons at the
sound of the final whistle.
GeorgetoWn's victory is quite a
feather in that teams cap for
the season. No matter what its
record was previously, the Hoya
team is a happy one today. It
should be to defeat a visiting
combination that had lost but
four games in "a before last
night.
Every man in the Georgetown
lineup played an inspired game.
It seemed that everything that
was lacking in the past was
brought to the front last night,
because of the Importance of
facing such powerful opponent
as Pitt. To Carolan, of course,
must go the greatest credit. But
the remainder of the Hoyas must
be mentioned because they all
chimed in with field goals or
fouls at moments when they were
most needed. Hence, King, Nc
Laughlin. Conners and Crowley
are at this time lauded.

RUPERT SIGNS
WEISS To RUN
CHAIN CLUBS

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-The New
York Yankees have entered the
chain store field of baseball in a
big way today, with a program
that may involve expenditure OF
a million dollars.
Colonel Jacob Rupert, who Will
foot the bills as owner OF the
Yankees, intends to have eight
farm" CLUBS lined up by the end
of the year. The Yanks already
own the Newark Club in the In
ternational League, and have
working agreements with the
Cumberland club in the Middle
Atlantic League, Albany OF the
Eastern League and Scranton in
the New York Pennsylvania loop.
The club further plans to buy
one Glass A minor league outfit,
one in Glass B, one in Class c
and either one in Class D or an
other in class A or AA.
Will Pay For Itself
The million dollar farm system
will pay for itself, it is estimated,
by elimination of the Yankees
former policy Of paying enormous
sums for minor league stars and
by sale of promising farm prod
ucts" to other major league clubs,
as the st. Louis Cardinals have
done.
Baseball has reached stage
where a club must do its own
developing if it is to succeed"
said Colonel Rupert. 81 believe
the st. Louis Cardinals have the
right idea, and 1 am going to
operate on a similar basis"
In complete charge of the
farms" will be George M. Weiss,
who has been prominently identi-
fled with minor league baseball
at New Haven, Conn.,, and Balti-
more, Md, during the past thir-
teen years. In addition, Weiss will
assist Secretary Ed Barrow, who
is recovering from long ILLNESS.
Weiss has been vice president and
general manager of the Baltimore
Orioles since February 4, 1929. He
assumes his new duties Monday,
and the orioles must name a sue
ceSSor to Weiss.
Although only SO years old,
Weiss is regarded as the ablest
man in the country for the job
as superintendent of the Farm
System. He has enjoyed marked
success in unearthing playing tai
ent, rebuilding teams, developing
young stars and selling them for
fancy prices.
Players developed by Weiss in
clude Jimmy Wilson, Joe Cronin,
Horace Ford, Johnny Cooney and
Pinky Hargrave.

The victory assures third place
in the hockey standing to the
German squad, they having de-
feated the Polish representatives
in the first encounter.
Ball was easily the outstanding
player on the ice, scoring three
goals on solo ruShes and furnish
ing the assist for the fourth. He
was all over the ice, and was not
only a power on the attack but
back checked every step of the
way. The lone Polish tally was
registered by AL Kowalski. Secur-
ing the rubber on his own de-
fense zone he rushed down along
the boards, spit the defense and
drew Leinweber out of position to
score.
Stogowski was slightly injured
in the first period when one C

him against the uprightS. In the
second scrimmage Schroettle fell

eye. The optic itself was not

FIGHT
MARKS MD.
VICTORY
BY HARRY COSTELLO

1t is three to two.
University of Maryland is ahead.
This is the 165-pound class. It
is captain against captain.
Jimmy Loughran represents
Maryland. Whipp Williams repre-
sents st. Johns, of Annapolis.
If Loughran wins, Maryland
wins. If Williams wins, st.
Johns wins.
The fight starts. First, Will
liamS seems to be the winner.
Then, Loughran goes to the fore.
What a Fight
There are flurries Of punches.
First it is Loughran who is hurt.
Then it is Williams who is stung.
This is a fight
Suddenly, Loughran's rig h t
hand smasheS against Williams
jaw, it is the punch of the fight.
1t crashes against Williams jaw,
high up, just under Williams ear.
Williams is groggy. One can see
his knees buckle underneath him.
Loughran is in wonderful condi-
ton. He is strong.
Williams heart comes to his res
cue. He uppercuts. The blow
lands flush on Loughran'S jaw.
The Maryland boy shakes his head
and sails in. Courage, stark cour-
age, is the stock in trade of two
young men, each motivated by the
same force. Loughran rallies
strong as the gong rings. He is
declared the winner.
NOrdenhOIZ Wins
With the score 4 to 2, in favor
of Maryland, Fred Nordenholz, of
st. Johns, knocked out Cal Lott,
of Maryland, in the 175-pound
class, in a single round. This gave
Maryland a 4-to-3 victory over St.
Johns of Annapolis; but, most of
al, it gave red-blooded boxing a
victory over softness, over flabbi-
ness, over chicken-heartedness!
In a basketball game that may
have been a hotly contested affair,
Maryland defeated Western Mary
land, for the State championship,
25 to Is. Despite that champion,
ship battle, Jimmy Loughran and
Whipp Williams reflected, in a
most superior manner, just why
we all want boxing.
The results:
lis Pounds-Frank Maneri. NJ. u,
defeated Ray Kent, st. Johns, in
three rounds, decision.
125 POunds-Al Farone, st. Johns,
