RACING NOW JOB
SAYS EXPERT

SOUTHAMPTON, Eng, Jan.
19.-Hubert Scott-Paine, Great
Britain's 1888 Harmsworth chal-
lenger, and the nations outStand-
ing speedboat pilot, has come to
the conclusion that unlimited
hydroplane racing no longer is
purely a sporting event but has
become great business"
Lecturing to the students of
University College here recently
Scott-Paine added the design of a
fast motor boat was one of the
most difficult tasks he ever
tackled, in comparison with an
aeroplane or automobile. The de-
sign of the latter, he said, "iS a
relatively simple job"

Meantime, King Levinsky, who
came here to persuade Max
Schmeling to meet him, may in
stead meet Camera for the title,
leaving schmeling and Baer
nothing to do. So they'll meet
each other in a replay, so to
speak, probably in San Francisco
March II.
This is all so very confusing
to the laity only a boxing man
could appreciate It. In fact,
only a boxing man could do it.
Everybody was in there trying to
cross the other and, when 1t was
all over. this is approximately
what the testimony showed:
No Garden Option
First, Ancil Hoffman refused
to sign Raer to a long-term
lease with Madison Square Gar
den, believing some off-the-recol :
assurances from the Carnera
people they would do business
with him after their own con-.
tract expired September 80. In
other words, he thought he had
an ace in the hole. At the
close of the day, he still had the
hole. 3D..
AS Hoffman was going into
President Kilpatrick'S office, he
met the Camera people coming
out. Even the credulous Mr..
Hoffman didn't need any more
than that.
Enter next the LevinSkys of
Chicago. They were so anxious
to persuade Schmeling to recon-
slider a match that they came on
with Nate Lewis, Chicago stadium
promoter, to add their voices to
his. They are, in fact, under
stood to have been Mates guests
on the trip East but they're
broadminded. They'll pay their
own way back.
For when they go, a contract
for two fights at Madison Square
Garden will go with them; also
the understanding if Levinsky
beats Charley Massera, February
9, and Walter Meusel, the Ger
man, March 2, he's liable to be
in there fighting for the title in
June.
The Old Lineup
So it's probably to be the old
lineup all over again, with every
body against Schmeling and Baer
and Schmeling and Baer against
each other.
In other words, the old push
around A. C. had another class
reunion and everything was just
splendid. To Mr.. Joe Jacobs, who
has been pushed by specialists,
the experience was no novelty.
He even pushes himself some
times. just to feel natural.
But Mr.. Hoffman, I fear, was
only bewildered and just begin
ming to feel family resentful as
he left town last night. He
thought he had played the game
in quite the approved fashion.
He thought he had done every
thing to make a Baer-Carnera
fight possible. AS a matter OF
fact he did too much. He stuck
overlong with those he thought
were friends. There is a sermon
old, but still good-on that par.
ticular subject.
Stick with your friends, it says;
stick with them right up to the
doors of the poor house. But
DON'T on in with them.

when / read in the papers
yesterday that the boys were
reported to be on their way
here. and that Basketball Coach
ROllie williams was sending out
a plea for their return, I dis
patched a letter to the Iowa
director of athletics stating
that we regretted the situation

endeavOr to persuade hem to

here" said Hunter.

Reports that the two freshmen,

formed Barry that neither Swan
son nor ironing ever will compete
as Southern California athletes"
Barry was form orlJ Iowa's cage
coach, and Williams was his assist

G. v. FAVORED
To TRIP
TECH
Rx GARRETT WATERS

George Washington'S big, bold
and ever promising basketball
team features the collegiate sports
action tonight, entertaining Vir-
ginia Poly in G. w. gym at 8
O'Clock.
The game will mark the first
bit of cavorting for the Colonials
since their not so successful trip
to New York last week. when set
backs were experienced from the
st, Johns, Of Brooklyn, and Long
Island teams, respectively.
To get back into the winning
column, or better. to begin a new
victory streak will be the Colon
ials' aim tonight.
Chances are Bright
Their chances of success are
materially bright as the Colonials
at their worst are doped the
strongr team than Virginia Poly.
Coach Ted OLeary's men are
not as discouraged over their
showing so far this season as
many seem to believe they should
be. The New York games, for
example, proved the Colonials
played foes far over their heads,
and the fact they put up as gal
liant battles as transpired is
something to talk about, if moth
ing else.
One item which has handi-
capped the Colonials has been
the absence of Sammy Stein.
There's no doubt this little player
was the inspiration to the team
in its early games.
Must Get Along
But it seems now the boys
must try and get along without
him for the remainder of the
season. That is. unless he sud-
denly comes to life and is able to
play again.
Although Coach OLeary has
not definitely decided on his
starting lineup for tonight, the
Colonials will most likely take
the floor with Jimmy Howell
and Jimmy Smith, forwards; Bill
Noonan, center, and Dallas Shir-
ley and Tuffy Leamans, guards.
Howell and Noonan have been
the big scorers for the team in
the game so far, and it is ex-
pected they will shine again to-
night against Virginia Poly.
Smith Still Starter
Smith is still a starter at one
Of the forward positions because
he's continued to show greater
form than Barney Kane, who,
earlier in the year, was an i'm
portant candidate for a regulars
berth.
The game will open the path
for ringing climax for cole
giate sports activity for the
week. Tomorrow. three basket
ball games and two boxing
matches will bring down the cur
tain with a bang.
Maryland, George town and
Gallaudet play the court games
meeting Virginia Poly, Temple
and Baltimore University, re-
spectively, while Maryland nd
Catholic University will feature
in the boxing matches against
Western Maryland and Virginia
Poly, respectively.
Cards Triumph
Catholic University had quite a
battle for awhile in it's game with
Virginia Poly last night, but a
victory was won in the late min
utes of the second half when
Coach Fod Cotton's men pulled
away by a decided squirt.
The final score was 81 to Is.
The game was unusual in that the
Cards got off to a 10 to 2 lead,
saw it reduced to a 22-22 tie
score midway in the second half,
only to put in the necessary
points to finish on the long end
If the final figures.
Every member of Cotton'S team
played weA. Bernie Lieb was the
actual scoring ace with 9 points.
Abe RoSenfield was next best
with 8 points. Thomas was the

SURVIVORS Of
WRECKED SHIP
REACH SAFETY

NEW ORLEANS. June Is. W.p) =
Sixteen survivors including Capt.
David Erich of the Norwegian
steamer Knut Hamsun, which
caught fire and burned to the wa
ters edge off the coast of Honduras
were brought TO new Orleans today
aboard the United Fruit company's
steamer .zacapa, which rescued
them after 60 hours at sea In an
open boat.
The Knut Hamsun, enroute from
Chile to Jacksonville, Fla, with
cargo of nitrate of soda and potash
valued at $350,000 was destroyed by
flames Sunday night a week ago
while her crew watched from two
lifebcats.
Capt. Erich and Leonard Ander-
son, chief engineer, remained with
the ship until all hope of saving it
passed, then jumped into the sea
and were picked up by the crew of
the lifeboats. Seaman Walter Erick-
son lost his life in the fire.
IT don't know how the fire start
ed," Capt. Frisch said today.
Flames suddenly shot up from the
holds, and soon the plates were red
hot, and buckling under the intense
heat. 1t was apparant there was no.
thing to do but abandon the ship
After drifting in the open sea for
go hours, the lifeboat carrying Capt.
Frich was sighted by the Cacapa.
The balance of the crew was re-
ported today to have been rescued
off the coast of Cuba.
