GEO.PREP LOSES

IN JUNE
By SID KATZNELL

The entire squad of George
town Prep School basketball
team will be graduated in June.
This announcement was made
by Joe Gardner, youthful ath-
letic director Of the prep school
early today.
Gardner's team is considered
one of the strongest aggregationS
in the prep school class, having
won 10 games and lost four.
Only Emerson Institute surpasseS
Prep in victories.
Emerson noSed out Prep yester-
day, 26 to %. Waverly Wheeler,
former Tech ace tossed six field
goals. This was Wheeler's last
game. Today he is attending
classes at the University of Mary
land.
Such renowned athletes as
Maury Nee. Tom Keating, Han
non, Mcmahon, Egan, Eddy and
Richards, will be lost to George
town through the June grad
uation.
Nee and Keating are also first
rate football and baseball players.
Maury Nee is the former Dis
trict junior golf champion.
Prep School basketball enthuSi.
asts also claim, Nee is the most
polished player in the scholastic
circles, but Coach Gardner dis
agrees with them, saying:
81 believe Tom Keating is the
best player. He held Buddy Nau,
CentraPS sensational guard, and
Tommy Nolan, Eastern's high
scoring captain, in check when
we played them. He is one Of
the best defensive players I
have had the pleasure Of coach.
ing. Nee is also a great player,

The Washington times., 1934-01-25

Barney Ross, of Chicago, is
more than just another light
weight. He's the lightweight
champion who, rated off his be-
havior last night, can beat all the
hghtweightS of the last 10 years,
and most welterweights, and the
way he hooks a left and crosses
a right is something to behold.
Anyhow, a Christmas Fund crowd
of 13,000-a Sell-out-thought so
last night as it watched Ross make
the wrong kind of fight against
Petrolle, and still beat him so far
off that the old Express probably
won't be in before morning.
Gave Away s Lbs.
Ross gave away five pounds on
the scales. He took five years on
the calendar, but he didn't use
these to oGtspeed the old man.
Instead, he stood and waited for
William to plod on up, then beat
him to the punch. It was q beauti-
full exhibition of wastless motion,
Ross either blocking or head
slipping the others leads and then
punching his ears back with both
hands.
The left kept Old Bill back on
his heels all night, but a short
right was Ross Sunday punch.
Whenever he let it go, Old Bill
went to rocking and tottering, and
at least four rounds of the 10
the first, second, seventh and
tenth-Saw him all but out on his
feet. But he was still there at the
end.
On occasions, Petrolle got up to
Ross in time to score with his ia
nous left to the body or head.
But it wasn't often and even then
he lived to regret it, for Ross,
when stung, invariably out
punched Old Bill and had him in
gnominious retreat.
3-tO-1 FavOrite
They made Ross a 3-to-1 IA
vorite before the bell, but they
weren't being too warm-hearted
and impulsive. On the run Of the
fight, they could have made it 10.
didn't give Petrolle a round and
I called only two even, the sixth
and ninth.
So maybe the old boy is entitled
to feel that he has come to the
end, although If they all quit be-
cause Ross beats them, we're liable
to have nobody left in the light
weight and near-lightweight divi-
sions. That's how good he
seemed to be last night.
The show, with its impressive,
turn-away crowd, was the public's
rebuke to Madison Square Garden
and its policies, one Of which de-
creed that it couldn't use Ross, and
another that it didn't want Pc
trolle. Personally, however, I've
been accustomed to tranquility and
repose, and the enthusiasm Of the
asSemblage last night was most
distressing.
That's one thing about the Gar
den-it'S always so peaceful. So
is q cemetery.

hShed by Elmer L. Layden, his
predecessor, who leaves Duquesne
Saturday to become head coach

Bach, who gained fame as one
Of the seven mules Of the 1924
team under Knute Rockne, will
continue as Layden'S successor by
showing his squad the fine art
Of football as he learned it. He
said:
'Wen teach It to any man
who comes out for the team"
"and we ought to have a lot of
candidates out. We have IL
varsity spots to fill through
graduation and q tough sched-
ule ahead Of us. That's why
we'll have to have q strong
team this season."
Speaking in his slow, droll
voice which has made him a fine
after-dinner speaker, Bach OBJ
served:
"Iu know more about the
team after the spring practice
sessions in April. But we need
IL good men,"
He added after a pause:
Don't worry. Wen find

Appointments are now under

pointees will be made known
