The gathering will be an un-
usual one, for included in 1t will
be men who never before met each
other. yet who have the common
bond that they 1nshared the
friendship Of the departed doc"
Green.
Died Year Ago
Twas a year ago that "Doc"
died, following an operation for
appendicitis. Men whom "Doc"
knew as children, men whom
doc" had taught when they were
kids, sorrowed when they heard
Of the passing Of the man who
made a boys camp a university.
Some 30 years ago, when doc"
Green was a coach Of sports at
National Cathedral School (St.
Albans), he conceived the idea Of
a boys camp. His idea was built
on the firm foundation Of the
ideal combined with the practical.
Parents were quick to realize that
doc" Green knew his youngsters.
The result was that Camp Mis-
hawaka, on Lake Pokegama, about
five miles from the little town Of
Grand Rapids, Mimi, was filled
to overflowing at the end Of the
camps second year Of life.
"Doc" developed the competi-
tive spirit of youngsters. The
camp was divided into the two
tribes" Chippewas and Sioux.
When one Of the former wanted
to play tennis he was delegated
to play one of the latter. Com
petition was the heart Of prog
resS at MiShawaka. The young
sters played hard, worked hard,
and at the end Of the season
went home flushed with health.
hroug hout fall, winter and
spring months each one who had
been at Mishawaka nursed a long
ing for the camp beside the cold
water lake Of northern Mime
sofa.
Developed Courage
The years went by. Young
sters who had been at the camp
became men, married, had young

sent to doc" Green.

Stewart McCaw Is his name and
he's a member Of Coach Jack
darmony'S boxing team at Mary
land University.
McCaw has fought in the 1885,
pound class for the Old Liners this
season, but when his team enter
hains washington and Lee tomor-
row night at Ritchie Coliseum,
McCaw will fight in the 175-
pound division.
And for a certain reason.
KayOed In First
Last year McCaw stacked up
against a General by the name Of
Martin. The bout was in the IT'S
pound division and McCaw was
defeated in the first round by q
Knockout.
For this reason, McCaw has
asked Coach Jack Harmony to
allow him to box Martin again in
the 175-pound bout on the pro-
gram. Harmony has consented.
McCaw will box Martin and he
WILL gain TeVenge-mayDe.
No Set-Up For Terps
The Old Liners won't have any
Get-up, however, as Washington
and Lee promises to bring one of
the strongest boxing teams of the
South here. Their big star, besides
Martin, is Ed Mincher, captain of
the team, whose worth in the 145-
pound class is plenty to rave
about.
Walter Webb will be placed
against this powerful foe in the
hope that he will halt Washington
and Lees expected triumph in this
particular bout. Webb has come
along fast in recent matches, and
Coach Jack Harmony believes hall
have a passing chance to defeat
Mincher.

NJ 'KENZ|E HERE
FOR GOLF JOB
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON
Back home after a tour that
had carried him thousands Of
miles, Roland Mackenzie today
was looking forward to taking
over his new duties as golf pro-
fessional at the Congressional
Country Club on March 1. Leav-
ing here last fall at the close
Of the National Capital Open,
Mackenzie and his wife, travel
ing in their de luxe auto trailer,
went to Miami and thence to
California.
Mackenzie declares he does not
plan to appear in local tour
namentS during his first few
months at Congressional. He
prefers to spend the better part
of this time acquainting himself
with the members, as well as
giving instruction.
During his long jaunt, Mac
Kenzie took in many money
tournaments en- route, but sell
dom engaged in other matches.
All together, he has played barely
more than so rounds since leav-
ing here.
Before Mackenzie competes in
the local tournaments, he must be
admitted to membership in the
Middle Atlantic P. G. A.
A clause in the associations BY
laws, stating a prospective mem
ber must first serve five years
apprenticeship will have to be
waived. It is understood Mac
Kenzie will be admitted at the
associations annual meeting, a
few weeks hence.

Sey from his own reserve and

Freeman feels he is about to

Liska Drops Back
Pitcher Ad Liska, who brought
one Of the most peculiar de-
Hveries the game has known to
Griffith Stadium back in 1880
has found his submarine ball
won't fool the National League
either, the Phils having just
sent Ad to Rochester. At the age
Of q, Liska, who came to Wash.
ington from Minneapolis, isn't
likely to get another major
league trial, and both loops have
passed up his floater.
Those freak deliveries are all
right until the opposing batters
have had a few looks at them
and then they fool nobody. His
famous here-it-is, try-to-hit-it,
sent the fans here into convul-
sions for a while and baffled
many Of the batters. Liska's
f1oater came up to the plate
slowly enough for the catcher
to count the stitches but the
demands of such an extreme
delivery affected his arm.
Ad was the bull pen artist
for the Phils last season and
set something of a record in
the National League by ap-
pearing in As games without
completing a single contest.
Little Dissents
Lou Little is not entirely in
favor of one gridiron rule
which removes the touchback
on the first incompleted pass
over the goal line unless it be
the fourth down. He believes
the new ruling will have a elf
ferent effect than it's sponsors
intended.
"It won't make much diff
ference for offensive teams in
side the 15-yard line," Little
opines, ''but the teams it will
help are those which have a
passer who is able to peg the
ball 30 or 40 yards with &C
curacy.
with no risk Of losing the
ball on those long heaves, the
boys will be out there passing
for touchdOwns from any point
inside of midfield. The new
rule should produce more scor-
ing, but 1 doubt if it will from
inside the 15-yard line as
claimed by its hackers"
