VINO Is This Howard

faWe might qualify this man
I Howard for you, in case some
of you may Scoff at his jovial
mood and otherwise attribute
; 1t to his natural Pollyanna dis
+ position.
q Howard is no man to brag
lightly nor to make false claims
about things as he finds them.
He Is not a member Of any
business boosters committee
nor yet trying to fill the air
with false prosperity. He
doesn't declare this elusive con-
dftion is just around the cor
uer-he says it is actually here.
- He should know whereof he
speaks, for he is Of the old
school Of alley. Inoguls who can
stand behind his cigar case and
SPOT a free and easy Spender
the minute he pops through
the portals.
YES, Tad Howard is of the old
old school; indeed of perhaps
such an old school he wouldn't
care for us to wave the facts in
your face right here.
Few still in the racket, and
we use that word advisedly,
date farther back than Tad
Howard, although he doesn't
have long gray whiskers or a

1t Is this otf1claPS hope TO
obtain the use of Griffith sta
dium for the interhigh series this
year, which plan. if successful,
will make the spring baseball
campaign one of the most elab-
crate for the high schools in
several years.
No doubt if Griffith Stadium
is obtained, every high school in
the present group, listing Cen
tral, Tech, Eastern, Roosevelt and
Western, will muster teams to
compete. Tech voted to continue
baseball yesterday after an i'm
portant meeting of the student
body. Roosevelt is the next school
to get in line. The others
already have Signified their inten-
ton of playing the game this
spring.

Twice conqueror Of the great

one-time ruler of the flyweights
gets off on an eight-round fistic
journey tonight at Portner's arena

Genaro accompanied by his
manager, Bobby North and his
trainer. Frankie Doyle, arrived
here last night confident their
charge would show local fistic
fans a thing or two about the
manly art Of self defense.
Claims for GenarO
They said:
'Were peddIin' the greatest
flyweight In the world today,
bar none. Young Perez knocked
CenarO out, but it was one Of
those first round things-a
lucky punch. The best proof i'm
the world Of GenarO's ability Is
the fact that Perez refused to
meet him again.
"GenarO will box Jackie
Brown for the flyweight title
This summer in London. Jeff
Dickson will promote the show.
/ don't !nOw anything about
this FinO boy, but we're not TAX
ing any chances. IT'S all the
unknOwnS that give you the
most trouble in the fight game.
Wen send frankie ont there to-
night to stop the Mexican just
as soon as he can"
North said today he expected
Genaro to scale 112 ponnds this
afternoon at Riggs Bath, where
the two gladiators win weigh in.
Fine I'm Great ;hape
Fino is in the best spot Of his
life. AL he needs to do tonight
is walk out there and throw
leather. If he can hold his own
against the italian wizard his
name will be carved in the fight
racket as one to be reckoned with.
Should Genaro do 1l2 pounds,
Fino will have a six-pound advan-
tage tonight by bell time.

GOLF MEMBERS
BOOST MILLER

Members Of the Beaver Dam
Country Club hold that their club
champion, Johnny Miller, would
be ranked with the best amateur
golfers in the District If this
student Of the game could devote
more practice to the sport.
Miller is a weekend golfer, Of
which there are countless thou
sands. His work gives him no
time for leisure during the week
and everyone knows that pro-
ficiency in any line is only OBJ
tained~ through constant devotion
to the, task at hand.
They say at Beaver Dam that
Miller has every requisite for an
expert golfer but these qualities
need a chance to develop. He is
considered extremely artful with
his woods and need neither be
ashamed Of his putting nor iron
play.
Playing over his home course,
Al Houghton turned in 37-33, 10.
to take first in an informal
sweepstakes at Kenwood Country
Club. George Diffenbaugh, Indian

Going Away Back

> Tad Howard has kept young
: On the job, yet he was running
bowling alleys away back yon-
der. before the war when the
first time our name ever ap-
peared above a story was on
a bowling yarn we had spun
for the old MunSey Times.
Boy, is that going back-ask
Tad!
That was slightly before Pop
HALEY turned professional and
took unto himself the manage
ment of the Recreation and
later Coliseum alleys, and Pop
too, is considered one of the
good old gang which took its
start down on E Street in the
Palace Alleys, which is now The
approximate site of the HouS-
ton Hotel where Mr.. Joe Free
man so often holds forth.
81 The KrauSS brothers, Harry
and Lon, are survivors Of that
crew as is Harry Armiger and
perhaps Joe Michaud, although
Michaud had his own little
dinkus up on G Street near
the Queen Cafe.
So when we tell you that
Tad Howard has been around
a long time, we are pleading
guilty to the same indictment,

ideas.
By HARRY COSTELLO

Puzzling indeed, inexplicable and
even bizarre are the mysterious
goings-on in the field of higher
education Of the Middle Atlantic
States New York, New Jersey,
Delaware, pennsylvania, Maryland
and the District of Columbia).
Nearly all persons who follow
intercollegiate athletics seem to
realize that a sort of squabble or
var is under way, involving on
the one side a democratic and
American" group of academic
chieftains, and on the other a
group of "autocratic and un-
American" college presidents and
professors, with dear old inter-
collegiate athletics the goat all the
way round.
None of these academic chief
tains, presidents and professors
cares to admit that he has been
initiated into the mysteries of the
athletic scholarship" squabble,
which squabble, by the way, ap-
pears to be anything but an "ath-
letic" conflict, and gives every in
dication of constituting an aca-
demic battIe-roysl between digni-
fled educators, with no mental
holds, grips, punches or weapons
barred.
ClOaked in Mystery
The so-called "autocratic and I'M
American" educationalistS we're
the first to decide on cloaking
this athletic scholarship" business
with mystery. Secret or closed
meetings always make for nys-
terry.
Now comes DR.. Cloyd Heck
Marvin, intrepid president of the
George Washington University
admittedly leader and spokes-
man for the democratic and
American" educationalists) to add
mystery to mystery.
DR.. Marvin admits that he Is
preparing "a letter which will out
line my ideas on the recent in
terpretationS of Prof. Adam Le-
roy Jones, of Columbia, chairman
of the commission which promul-
gated the athletic scholarship
decree"
The decree, lest you do not
know, declares unSound any edu-
cational institution of the area
mentioned which gives an "ath-
letic scholarship" The commits.
sion. powerful governing body, is
a bit cloudy as to what is an
athletic scholarship" as well as
to what constitutes innocence or
guilt under the decree.
DR.. Marvin goes on to explain
that this letter which he is pre-
pairing will be sent out to the
presidents of the 10 colleges
under the Jurisdiction of the
commission. Then, quite sud-
denly, the president Of the
George Washington Univer sity
climbs back into his shell. He
becomes academically evasive.
Speaks Pleasantly.
He SPEAKS pleasantly enough,
but not at all in an enlightening
manner. He whisks around
mental corners as only academic
men can. After his interview
with reporters, the matter of the
real issues in this athletic Schol-
arship'& Squabble are more
clouded in mystery than before
pr. Marvin started giving his
Interview.
College chieftains and mem
bers of high educational commits
SionS should realize that their
goings-on, presenting as they do
features and points obscured IN
mystery, arouse curiosity and
speculation, and sometimes sus-
picion.
One wonders if the public Of
the Middle Atlantic States will
stand up and cheer these sacred
and mysterious rites of our high
educational commissions and
college chieftainS if and when
the wells of secrecy and mystery
are torn away.

Belasco Plans

The latest proposal for the Be-
lasco Theater is a cabaret and
floor show with restaurant. etc.
Local interests have submitted the
idea to the Messrs. Shubert and
are prepared to do considerable
remodeling if the plan is accept
ed for the Lafayette Square play
house.
This sounds as though some
thing approaching the interior
scene for The Wonder Bar
would become a reality if the bid
is accepted. That is the seats
would come up and chairs and
tables would replace them to
create the illusion of Continen-
tai night spot. Beer and light
wines, of course, enter into the
program also.
Another New York movie mag
nate has started negotiations to
equip the theater for sound
pictures. He would make it
Washington's aristocratic cinema
palace with reserved seats and
strictly adult features. The
Messrs. Shubert also have this
proposal to consider. From one
of the other it is hoped that
the venerable old playhouse will
bring returning prosperity's bright
