always looks OUT Tor n1S nepne
George wants to see that Ollie
Pacini, his Central-South Atlantic
match play champion, gets some
action, now that Astor Clarke,
U. s. and Dixie Sweepstakes win
ner, has definitely decided to
forego a match with him.
Uncle Isemann'S fertile brain
has brought forth q new idea,
and from where this observer
stands, it's a pippin, q lallapa-
loosa and the cats.
George plans a city-wide elimi-
nation tournament among the
city's eight standout singles shoot
ers, each one to represent an es-
tablishment.
Probable Entries
Offhand this group would in
clude Joe Harrison Convention
HalD, George Honey (Temple), 3,
Hokie Smith (King Pin or Lucky
Strike), Paul Harrison (Arcadia), {,
Ed Blakeney (Petworth), Perce
Wolfe Hyattsville), Henry Hiser
(Bethesda), and Brad Mandley
(Recreation).
OF course, some plants may de-
sire a different representative
from the one named above, or
other establishments may desire
to enter contender. However,
George wants to keep the number
down to eight.
The event would be conducted
like a tennis tournament and
with eight participants the win
ner would be decided in three
rounds, which should take less
than two weeks.
Each match would be q 10-game
home-and-home affair and can be
bowled either on week nights be-
fore or after the leagues or on
Saturday afternoons. Some Of
the matches, in fact, a majority
can even be staged on weekday
afternoons.
Every alley having a representa-
tive would get at least one-haf Of
a firSt-round match. # its cham.
pion survived to the second round
it would get another half Of its
representatives match with his
rival. And so on.
Roll 20 Games
The survivor would roll Pacini
in a 20-game match either in a
four-block five-game series or in
two 1O-game blocks, depending on
dates available.
Isemann is also figuring on a
similar affair in Baltimore involV-
ing Ray Barnes, Ray Won Dreele,
Meyer Jacobson, Wilmer Robey,
Temple Keene, Doc Pickus, Harry
Schreck and Andy Zeiler, the
eight outstanding Baltimore
shooters.
# he can arrange eliminations
in both cities, ISemann would
have the two city champions
clash for the right to meet Pacin1s
unless Pacini is willing to give
both men separate matches.

SUCCESS SEEN FOR HOYAS IN FINAL GAN
INDIAN MATMA
PUZZLED BY
DECISION

Jim Clinstock, gigantic In
dian wrestler, wore a queer look
today. He wondered what per.
former must do to win a match
here.
Some 5000 local followers, at
tending last nights show at the
Washington Auditorium rocked the
huge hall with their cheers when
Clinstock was declared loser to
the bearded Russian. Vanka Zeles-
MAX, after 10 minutes of wild
wrestling.
"LOser" Is Winner
Referee Harry Tuberville gave
the Russian the bout because he
found Clinstock, weighing ESQ
pounds, kicked ZeleSniak after pin
ming him.
However, all's fair in wrestling
and Zelesniak, who crossed 22O
pounds was equally as guilty Of
unfair tactics. He spat in Clin-
stocks face and kicked him when
PROSTATE on the floor. Yet, the
fans cheered this on the part Of
Zelesniak and protested loudly
when Clinstock gave the same
dose in return.
Boesch Is Popular
Paul Roesch is the most popu-
lar wrestler appearing here. He
received a tremendous ovation
after tossing Scotty McDougal
with a body slam in 81 minutes.
The "old master" Dick Shikat,
toyed with George Manich for q
minutes and then dropped him
to the canvas. Ernie Dusek and
Vic Christy stepped to a fast 30
minute draw, the end finding
both stretched flat on the canvas
as the result Of collision in mid
ring.
Jim Londos, the big magnet for
the large turnout, disposed of
Count George Zarynoff with his
airplane spin after So minutes.
The Count knew his Londos-
that was for the better part Of
so minutes but the bald-headed
gentleman seem ID exhausted
from his efforts to cage the
crafty Greek. Then Londos hur-
riedly applied a few body slams
and terminated the match with
his famous spin.

FIND SELVES
IN RECENT
GAMES
BY GARRETT WATERS


To be handed a high rating.
then to be forced to live up to
that rating, develops into tough
assignment, many sport teams
will tell you.
But to weather the rough spots,
to finally emerge the team that
followers have prayed for all sea-
son, is gratifying achievement,
these same sport teams will tell
you, the team in this instance be-
ing Coach Freddy Mesmer'S
Georgetown University five.
Yes, Washington has had col
lege basketball entry of this type
this season at Georgetown, ana
the in and out showing of the
Hoyas has been an item Of critical
comment for all interested in col
legiate sports.
On Right Road
But now the Hilltoppers believe
they are finally on the road to
the success that's supposed to oe
part of their makeup. At least
their followers believe this to be
the case as their arguments mlgnC
prove.
They cite the two most recent
games played by the Hoyas to
bring out their beliefs, the con-
tests being those which the Hoyas
appeared in against the Navy ana
Temple fives.
In the first mentioned contest,
plenty was expected Of George
towns lineup of capable perform
ers. A triumph and nothing else
was supposed to result. And be-
sides this point, the Hoyas them
selves wanted to win just as much
as their followers wanted them to.
Georgetown lost. Not because
the "boys" failed to measure up
in ability, but because they hap
pened to run into an afternoon
which saw everything go hay
wire, even their courage after
Navy had taken a quick lead.
Same in Power
In the Temple game they went
into action quite the same team
in power and strength as that
which faced Navy, but a cha
grined team-a team that was
still discouraged because Of unex-
planned losses.
The result, every man found
himself, suddenly, found himself
to the extent Temple was de-
feated by one Of the most de-
cisive scores a Georgetown five
has scored this season.
With this latter success still in
the minds of Messrs. Hargaden,
O'Connors, Crowley and the rest,
Coach MeSmer'S men really be-
lieve they've finally hit the heights
expected Of them.
At least they believe they're near
such a point and hope to prove it
in the remaining games on
schedule. Tomorrow the Hoyas
entertain the strong Mount St.
Mary's Five in the Tech gymna-
SUM at $3.50 o'clock.
Yale, Army Listed
Next week Yale and Army are
booked, while what they figure as
their most important game OF the
year comes on February "a when
Pittsburgh, conference league
champions, will be met in a con-
test in the Tech gymnasium.
To win the conference title is
the teams biggest aim right now.
Victories in the several outside
engagements are sought also, but
the conference triumphS are de-
sired much more.
The future promises to be in
teresting for the Hoyas.
AS for the present, two games
are on the collegiate program for
tonight. Catholic University en-
tertains Gallaudet in the c. U.
gymnasium at $3.50 o'clock while
Maryland opposes the University
of Virginia five at Charlottesville,
Va.

HUSBAND OF FORMER
SANDSTONE GIRL is
LAID TO REST TODAY

Eugene Hall Best, Al, who was a
fireman at the Salvage Corps of the
Insurance Fire Department in the
city of Minneapolis, died there Mon
day evening at the Veterans hospi-
tai. Death was caused from a weak
heart, the patient having allied for
half year.
Mr.. Best who was born in Mime
apolis leaves a wife and three chill
dren ranging in ages from three to
nine years. Mrs. Best was formerly
Ethel Mulholland of Sandstone. They
had made their home in the Mill City
since marriage 10 years ago, and he
had been a fireman for the past dozen
years. His parents are dead and there
are no other immediate relatives out
side of his own family.
Mr.. Best enlisted in the service of
his country and served in the World
war.
The body was brought to Sandstone
for the funeral service and burial, the
services to take place at the Con-
gregational church today Thursday
at p. m. with Rev. John A. Hughes
officiating. Pallbearers will be six
fellow firemen. The sympathy OF
friends goes out to the bereaved fam
lily in their hour of great sorrow.

SANDSTONE DEFEATS
ASKOV JUNIOR TEAM

The Sandstone Junior Legion base
ball team came to Askov Tuesday aft
ernoon and spoiled the chances of
AskOv to get playoff with the Hinck-
ley team for the right to play the
winner of the Mora district. The
Quarry City young men won in an
overtime frame 10 to by the help
of the big bat of young Hawley who
batted out a double scoring two runs.
The Sandstone pitcher then set the
Askovites down in turn in their half
of the inning. 1t was a good game
and perhaps the biggest sensation of
the game was the waiting qualities
of the little "Sparky" leadoff man on
the Sandstone team who walked every
time at bat by virtue of his minute
size making it practically impossible
for the pitcher to pitch to him.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

When Adolf Hitler, German chan
try's parliament, summoned for the
one purpose of listening to him, he
did not offer apologies for the eXecu-
tion of friends and fellow-partisans on
June 80. He merely wanted to make
his position clear, to justify his ac-
tions, and to impress upon his people
the idea that traitors in the future
would be punished just as harshly
and as effectively as they were on
the last day of June. He pointed out
that in the hours when the fate OF
Germany was in the balance, he-and
he alone-was responsible for the
death sentences, for he was at that
moment-so he said himself-the SUI
preme court of Germany.
Also, the chancellor gave out the
the massacre, for he said that n per-
sons were executed, committed sui
eide or were killed while resisting
arrest.
In explanation of the bloody mess
he made the statement that If he
had not acted with the speed OF
lightning" thousands of Germans
would have lost their lives as the re-
suit of the revolution which was being
planned by the men whose death he
found it necessary to cause.
Effects of Speech.
Dramatically staged and delivered,
the Hitler speech appears to have
strengthened German confidence in
his personality and his purposes, he
seems to have convinced the nation
that he acted as he did because he

HARVEST STATES
HAVE OWN HELP
Workers Should not go to Big Wheat
States Unless Pre.engaged.
Crops Poor.

For many years it has been the
custom for men from practically
every state in the Union to answer
the call of the ripening grain and
the threshing machine whistles in the
small grain raising states and GO
there to be employed. This year
harvest hands and those interested
in work associated with harvesting
will be interested in the following in
formation received by Clint Boo, dis
trict manager of the National Re-
employment Service ct Pine City:
"Laborers should Lot go to the Big
Wheat Belt with the expectation of
ment situation in these states makes
available many local men. Even those
who secure work will be employed
but short time. Special agents
stationed in Texas, Oklahoma, Kan
sas and Nebraska report sufficient
labor at all points. Nebraska will
produce only about one-third of a
normal crop, while small grain in
the Dakotas is so near fetal failure
that available labor within the states
will be far in excess of harvest de-
mands. All harvest hands should re-
main at home unless they have made
previous and dependable arrange
ments with individual wheat growers
for jobs. Wages quite generally are
$3.50 to 50 a day for shocking and
zoe to Csc an hour for threshing.
There is a wide range in prices for
combine operators, averaging from
$3.50 to So a day."
