NUT|NY BREAKS
UP JOHNNES

Mutiny is mutiny no matter
where it occurs. Over at st.
Johns Prep this. form of battle
is waging full blast with basket
ball being the topic Of all the
pickering.
It seems the Johnnies, at the
start of the current floor season,
comprised many freshmen and
sophomore players. Only one
veteran player was among those
present-Jack McCarthy-and &C
cording to Coach Jack Dunn he
did not fit in well with the re-
mainder of the young squad
which Dunn is concentrating
upon for future development.
Mccarthy happened to miss
two important practice sessions
during the Christmas holidays.
Dunn dismissed the lad from the
squad. The remainder Of the
team rose UP in protest.
A particular group withdrew
from service yesterday and
formed a team to be known as
the F'ederals. The Federals plan
playing games with amateur
teams. in and around the city.
They comprise Skelly, Smith,
McConnell, Stock and Keegin.
Coach Dunn's remaining de-
pendables play most important
game tomorrow against GOnzaga
Prep at Gonzaga. Mutiny or no
Inutiny Dunn believes that his
new team will be able to hold
it's own against the. I Streeters.
At least the youngsters will
get experience for future games,
the coach believes. ,s.-
Three games are on the
scholastic schedule today. George
town Prep plays the Imaculate
High five at Garrett Park, Md,
Tech entertains the Wilson
Teachers at Tech, and Central
journeys out to College Park for
an engagement with the Mary
land Freshmen. All three con-
tests have a $3.50 o'clock starting
hour.
Tech, Roosevelt and Eastern
won in high games yesterday.
Georgetown Prep and Landon
were losers. Tech defeated the
Georgetown Freshmen, 80 to %,
Roosevelt conquered Emerson, 20
to 18 and Eastern scored from
Alexandria High, % to %.
Georgetown Prep lost a tough
one to Episcopal, 80 to 81 while
Landon was routed by Bethesda
Chevy Case, so to 13.
Tommy Davis, lanky Eastern
center, may not be able to play
against Roosevelt tomorrow in
the Lincoln Parkers' inter-high
school series game with that
team. Davis hurt his knee in

fROSH BOXERS
| BEAR PROMISE

UNIVERSITY, Va, Jan. 20.
Nirginia's first-year boxers, who
engage the v. P. I. freshmen in
preliminary bouts Saturday night,
have won both their matches this
season. They defeated Augusta
Military Academy S to 3 and
then took a 6-to-2 decision over
". M. rs Rats.
Coach La Rowe thinks there is
promising material in this bunch
of youngsters, but he is disap-
pointed in the fact that so few
men are out for the heavier
classes.
In the lighter classes the young
Cavaliers are shining. Augustus
Epps, Of Richmond, brother Of
the v. M. I. varsity captain, ban
tamweight; George Cary, Of
Richmond, featherweight: Marion
Brooks, Of Charlottesville, light
weight. and Bill McClung, of
Charlottesville, are among the
best of the first-year boxers.

KEEPS
PUTTER Il !
YEARS ;
BY GEORGE. A. SIMPSON

BY GEORGE. A. SIMPSON
Seventeen years is a long time
to keep putter but Mel Shorey.
the East Potomac Park pro, Is
many years behind Sandy Ar.
mour, Congressional Country Club
pro. Sandy has treasured an odd.
looking putter for over 30 years.
Each attaches the same value
to his putting blade and neither
would part with it except under
certain conditions, such as ex.
changing it for an open golf
championship.
Actually, Shorey's club isn't .
putter. It's a cleek that weighs
four ounces less, and is two inches
shorter than the average putter.
Considerable Loft
It has considerable loft and
Shorey, when putting close to the
hole, plays the ball off his left
foot with hands ahead Of the ciut
and keeps the face closed. t.
doesn't close the face for long
puts.
The putter is particularly dear
to Shorey because with it he
recorded % one-putt greens in
36 holes during the p. G. A.
qualifying rounds at the ColuIla.
bia Country Club in 1924. That
feat is considered world record
as nothing eQualling or surprass-
ing this marvellous performance,
has come to light.
Shorey uses this putter today
and frequently calls upon it when
a few feet off the green or Ia
shallow traps with smooth banks
About putting technique, Shorey,
says: az
SUGGESTS LIGHT PUTTER
"The average golfer mustn't
have too heavy or too long o
putter. There is more "feeie
with q lighter putter and one
is better able to control the
ball. .a
Commenting on Gene Sarazen's
eight-inch cup proposal, Shorey
adds: -
"Why, an eightinch cup
would look like o wash basin,
leading to a wholesale scoring
of undreamed of low rounds.
OF course, if the cup must be
enlarged, then q six inch one
wouldn't be too big However,
what's the sense Of making the
game easier. It's good enough
as it is now"

This victory puts Convention

Northeast Temple, defending
champions, riding in second place,

by virtue of a shut-out triumph

been one Of the nainStayS Of the
fast-stepping Beaver Dam team
in the Coli Clubs League, made
his initial appearance In the
District League with Rendezvous
and pummeled the naples sound
" for a $40 set, including games
OF 1T, 1870 and 1913. However,
his splendid rolling went for
naught as Georgetown swept the
series, aided by Howard Parsons
373 set.
Ruth Rothgeb, who created a
sensation in the Star tournament
by rolling 60S in the preliminary
round. was baptized in big league
competition In the lineup Of
Recreation in the Ladies District

her sponsors that they had made
no mistakes by rolling q 336 set.

Bess Hoffman fell on the
naples with great fury. and when
the storm had ceased she had
compiled q magnificent $50 set,
with games Of 10, 1874 and 136.
to boost Columbia to a triple tri-
umph over Arcadia and a 1859
set.
Margaret Miltner shook off the
handicap of a badly sprained
wrist long enough to cuff out a
361 set with q LAG high game for
the Bill Woods, as Lorraine GULL
and Billie Butler led the opposing
King Pins with 332 set apiece.
Evelyn Ellis also decided that
this would be a fine time to do
a little starring and she drubbed
the small pins for a 332 set and

ONCE OVERS

Are you irritably positive in
your opinions?
Do you accuse those who diff
fer with you of being deficient
in good judgment?
Do you express your ideas in
a form that admits of no argu-
ment?
"Just when did you acquire a
corner on good Sense?" is a
question that many OF your
friends are asking.
The mere fact that you seem
to think you are unmistabably
right, and so will not listen
to the statements of others, is
pretty strong proof that you
are generally inaccurate in your
opinions.
You will hot allow yourself to
learn tacts-to be convinced
