WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.- White
thatched Henry T. Rainey, speaker
of the house and owner of a NAL
odorous pipe and a sunny disposi-
ton, has fled the kibitzers.
When visitors come to his sunny
office on the second floor Of the
capitol, Mrs. Rainey tells them gra-
ciously that she's sorry, but Henry
isn't there. She's telling the truth.
Henry is in Jack Gamers old hide
away among the catacombS Of pill
lars on the first floor, around the
corner from the barber ship.
There, in little office hidden be-
hind an unlabeled door, Rainey
puffs his pipe and works in peace,
unbothered by job hunters and self
appointed advice givers.

GREAT GOLF FEATS
HERE ARE PUNCHED
Houghton, Red Cunningham
and Mcleod Combine to
Provide Banner Week.

A L HOUGHTON, Kenwood pro,
~ has to his credit one of the
n really great rounds OF the year,
but his little pal, Red" Gun
ningham of Burning Tree, isn't to be
outdone. The two play together good
deal and Cunningham was cheering
Houghton on as the Kenwood pro
ploughed his way around the Washing
ton course the other day in Sc strokes
to tie the course record.
Recently Cunningham shattered all
records for the last nine of the Burn-
ing Tree course. playing that rugged
stretch in 81 strokes for a score of 60
That score for the last nine was five
shots below par and Cunningham S
putter was red hot as he blazed his
way over the nine. picking up four
brides and an eagle and only once
going over par He was playing with
George Peek and John Marshall, anna
teurs, and Frank Cunningham, his
brother.
Here is Red" Cunningham's score
for the last nine:
Par. 5 3 4 4 3 4 4 436
Cunningham. 3 3 3 3 2 A 4-3l
The eagle on the tenth came from a
15-foot putt. On the fifteenth the
Burning Tree red head pushed his tee
shot into the rough and had such q
bad lie he was not able to get home
in two.
The previous record for the last nine
was 30. Cunningham was out in 80.
TIOUGHTON'S score at Washington
II probably was the most remark
able piece of golf ever played
there. A round without a 5 is re-
markable in itself, but Houghton only
missed two greens in perfect figures
and both times he Clipped close enough
to get down in a single putt. That
round ranks with the ga he shot earlier
in the year at Kenwood Unfortu-
nately, it cannot be claSSed as a record,
for it was played under Winter rules.
Combine the scores by Cunningham
and Houghton with the 31-36-67
made by Fred Mcleod at Columbia a
few days ago and you have week
of the finest scoring in many years
around Washington.

NEW YORK, December 25.-One
~ thing which the critics of mod
ern hockey fail to consider when
they object to the games low scoring
and dull moments is the quality of the
goal tending in the National Hockey
League.
A glance back through the record
book to 20 years ago shows that it was
nothing unusual then for a National
Hockey Association team to score over
100 goals in 20 games.
Now they play 48 big league games
and don't go any higher, but another
look at the book shows such stars as
Chuck Gardiner, Roy Worters, Tiny
Thompson. johnny Roach and George
Hainsworth guarding the nets Of the
nine National Hockey League clubs, at
least six have goalies who are rated
among the games outstanding stars.
The other three. Andy Aitkenhead of
the New York Rangers, Billy Beveridge
OF Ottawa and Davey Kerr of the Mon
treal Maroons, are so close behind them
1t Is hard to draw dividing line.

IA ball will head the list Of sports

during January, both the varsity and
plebe teams having matches listed.
Varsity basket ball starts on January
6, the Navy meeting Western Maryland,
and the Middies have these other
matches during the month: 13, Duke;
II, Georgetown; 20, West Virginia; 81,
Pennsylvania State; 81, North Carolina.
The plebeS have the following games
during the month: 20, Eastern High;

Navy wrestlers and boxers both make
their start January 27. The mat team
meets Pennsylvania and the boxers en-
gage western Maryland.
Competition for places on the boxing
team never has been keener.
In the 1l5-pound class there is a
keen rivalry between Chester Smith
and Jack Rawlings, who fought for the
plebes. Outstanding contenders at the
125-pound weight are Fred Bitch, Ed
Mulquin and Dick Harmer.
Slade Cutter, foot ball tackle and un-
beaten last season in the unlimited
weight class, probably will hold his job,
but has rivals in Bob Harbold, grid GEN.
ter. and Jimmy Gray, plebe heavy
weight last season. If George Lambert,
regular l75-pounder last year, does not
make the weight limit, he also will be
a contender
If Lambert stays in the light-heavy
class, he will have to fight it out with
Swede Larsen, Dave Zabriskie, Gil Short
and Bob Johnston, all powerful men
and good boxers.
At 165 pounds, Bob Lee and Frank
Herold lead, while Capt. Jack Nc
Naughton is not likely to be seriously
pressed in the 155-pound division.
Harley Nauman and Hank Miller, the
regulars last year in the 145 and 1876
pound classes, are in the lead again.
