A New Angle.

A New Angle.
WHEN 1t comes to slipping some
w thing over, the wrestling game
is still up around the front.
Here is the latest. In a recent
wrestling match, one of the contest
ants soon was caught in scissors
grip, the same being wrapped around
his head.
The shared wrestler put up gallant
effort to break the head scissors, but.
after few desperate lunges, his rally
died away and he finally sprawled
out on the mat, dead to the world.
Upon further examination it was
discovered that the first wrestler, with
the scissors hold, had inserted large
hunk Of cotton, soaked in chloroform
or ether, inside his trunks. A few
inhalations from this was quite
enough to break up the battle.
This incident Is entered to
show just how far the boys will
60 at various times when given
any leeway.
But there will be no sponges or
tampering or false shoeing in con-
nection with the big field at Santa
Anita, where the big opening is now
only four days away.
There are several other features of
this new race track worth mentioning.
Accommodations have been arranged
for $4,000 motor cars, and no
crowding.
Also, the track has been built in
such way that spectators seem to
be closer to the race than one might
believe possible. This is due to the
grading and also to the Sierra Madre
Mountains that foreshorten the vision.

Trim Wittenberg.
BY H. C. BYRD.

~ EORGE w AS HIN G T o N,
which last night defeated
i Wittenberg, Al to 33, should
win its basket ball game to-
night with Indiana. The Colonials,
provided they play up to the standard
set in their contests so far and if the
Western Conference Eve is not better
than against Maryland last night, in
all probability will take their first
major victory of the season.
Indiana did not show anything
against Maryland that would entitle
its play was not of a sufficiently high
caliber to warrant q prediction that
it stands an even chance with George
Washington. The Middle Westerners
are not a set-up by any means, but
they lack a pivot player around whom
whom the other members of the squad
could rally, man like Weir Of last
years quint.
Maryland played some good basket
consistent. The two outstanding fac
tors in the Old Liners performance
were the fact that they were not in
as good condition as their opponents
and seemingly lacked knowledge of
when to shoot. Il good many oppor-
tunities were lost in the second half
with passes between players that
might just as well have been shots at
the baskets; and on a percentage
basis some of these shots would have
been turned into points.
When Indiana runs up against
George Washington tonight it will
find itself against more experience
and against a five that has played
several games. Both these factors
should count heavily for the Colonials
over and above the caliber of play put
up by Maryland. Indiana will be the
underdog against the Colonials.
