TITLE WON
IN 1888
BY SID KATZNELL

Mike Kelley's champion Eastern
High sharpshooter's are concen.
trating on the approaching wash
ington and Lee University's schol-
astic basketball tournament.
March 1-3, at Lexington, Va.
The Lincoln Parkers won the
championship last year by snatch
ing a 40-to-33 thriller from Cen
tral, 1888 interhigh title winner.
in the final of the tourney.
AL Waters, who is now starring
with Maryland University Fresh
men, and Tommy Nolan, present
captain of Eastern's quintet, were
the flaming lights in the North
east High Schools victory.
Plenty of Trouble
Eastern will have to expect
plenty of local competition again
this year. Tech and Central are
figuring on entering if invited.
Artie Boyd, Techs youthful
coach says:
well only be too glad to
compete in the tournament.
Thus far we haven't been in
vited. But 1 believe my boys
will give a good account of
themselves if given a chance"
Burt Coggins, CentraIs hard
working mentor, speaks:
1--WE haven't received an in
vitatiOn as yet. And if we do
it will be up to DIR. Harvey
Smith, principal, whether we
will be permitted to enter the
tournament. However, I be.
ieve he'll let us compete"
Emerson Would Enter
Emerson Institute is expected
to receive an invitation to com.
pete in the prep school division.
Georgetown Prep may also be
invited to play in the prep school
section. Both have good teams
and will go long way.
Three games are listed on the
scholastic card today.
Gonzaga entertains Swavely at
Gonzaga; st. Adams plays host
to Falls Church High on the
American UniverSity's court, and
Emerson tangles with Boys Club
varsity five on the Washington
Boys Club floor.

Our NeIO Reporter
Can Turn 1t On, Boys
An Old SchOOLnaGte, and
Rv BILL CoRUM

NEW YORK, Feb. ia bet
ter than bad reporter went to
work on this newspaper yester-
day via International News
Service. His name is Hubert
r. Knickerbocker. But he will
answer to "Hube" or Red" or
"Knick."
Knickerbocker is his square
Hancock, however, although
some objection was at one
time offered to his using it for
literary purposes. Needless to
say, he won the argument
without much difficulty. You
can take away a fellows last
seven bucks but you can't take
away his good name.
Personally Knick first came
this way out Of Texas. But his
ancestors were early settlers in
upstate New York. In all
probability an off-shoot of the
original Knickerbocker family,
although I wouldn't know
about that for certain, the
original Knickerbockers and
the original Floradora sextette
both having been a little be-
fore my time.
In any case, Knick'S ances-
tors were Staunch Presbyterians.
Knick was once a Presbyterian,
too. Then he was a Socialist
and after that a Communist.
Now he is a reporter. But he
always wanted to be a chemist.
Made Tutors Shudder
When Knick was a fiery red
haired and somewhat speGtacu-
lar student in the Pulitzer
School Of Journalism at Colum-
bia, he was inclined to give
DR.. Cunliffe, the good Prof.
Cooper and other estimable
gentlemen on the staff Of in
structors many a shudder with
his papers on Lenin, Trotzky
and other heroes of the Rus
sian revolution. Heroes, at
least, to Knick. He was very
serious about the brotherhood
Of man in those days.
Now that he has spent some
time among the little brothers,
it seemed to me that 7 noted a
falling off in enthusiasm when
he was in this country last fall.
But even in school I suppose
Knick had a liveller curiosity
and sounder idea about what
was going on in the world than
did the rest of us. We were
too anxious to dash downtown
at night and have a look at
Miss Gilda Gray doing the
shimmy to be greatly bothered
about what was going on in
Russia. Russia was a long way
off then. Somehow it doesn't
seem quite so far now.
And when finally we filed
past DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler
and out into the great wide
world to see what we could do
(BM Corun1, famous New Yorl
Th1 WneL:,

This same speed rules in box
ing. If you can keep up a terrific
pace during a bout you're liable to
become the winner. If you're fast
with your punches you're liable
to wear down your opponents re-
sistance in little time. And fl
nally, if you're fast on your feet,
you're in line to keep your foe so
dizzy that before long he will tire
and you'll find yourself with an
easy mark to hit.
Hayes Favored
And so it goes with tonight's
boxing program at Portner'S
Arena. Alexandria, Va, the fea-
ture of which lists Charley Won
Reedon against Pete Hayes.
Hayes is the heavy favorite to
win because of his recent kayo
victory over Frankie Covelli, who
soundly trounced Pete Sarron at
Portner'S a few weeks ago.
Won Reedon has chance to
triumph, however, because he has
speed. The Jacksonville feather
weight has plenty of il and hopes
to demonstrate his stamina by
outlasting Hayes during the 10
rounds of mixing the pair will
put on" for the customers.
Hayes Packs Punch
If Won Reedon can keep those
legs and fists dancing, he might
wear Hayes down. If not, he is
set for defeat, possibly a kayo,
as Hayes packs that punch by his
past record.
The preliminaries will bring
Buck Taylor against Patsy Wal
lace, Roy Manley against Mike
Scipio, Benny Adler against
Roddy Davis and Paddy Ryan
against Johnny Mccoy.

Only three days ago, on the Pa
cific Coast, the final professional
game of the 19SS-34 season was
played. Even now, at number
Of schools, among them Virginia,
winter football is in progress.
WaShington's big Four

Catholic University and Maryland
-already are preparing for the
spring prepping season. Jack
Hagerty probably will call the
sEIoyas out about March /. Jack
Faber probably will start his Old
Liners a week earlier than the day
Georgetown gets under way. Jim
Pixlee and Arthur c'Dutch"D
Bergman probably will start at
about the same time-near the
close of February.
Weather Thwarts Plans
Grid chieftains all over the
country have been hoping for a
break in the weather, but no such
thing is in sight, at the moment.
If the present cold weather, with
its complement of snow, is Sus-
taind, it appears likely that
spring football practice will be re-
tarded.
All four local squads face diff
culties in preparing for the 1884
season.
G. w. must replace no less than
seven stars of the first water.
. However, the Colonials are well
fixed in the way of material and
will have another fine team.
Must Develop Backfield
c. U. will have it's usual small
SQUAD. Dutch" Bergman must
develop backfield.
Maryland and Georgetown,
badly off in 1888, must build from
. the bottom. Maryland's team at
the conclusion of the 1888 season
was showing signs of developing
into an excellent combination.
Georgetown, however, lacked ma
terial and probably will lack it
again this year. Maryland should
have a vastly improved eleven.
Football coaches seem u have
hoped on the band-wagon in the
matter Of approving the new rules.
The only dissenting voice is that
: of Glenn Scobie ("Pop'O Warner,
, who says a mouthful when he
states that the running attack re-
h. quires strengthening.
