ROWING BOON SEEN

BY the Associated Press.
~ ITTSBURGH, December al
- That glamorous and thrilling
sport of college rowing may
find a virgin breeding ground
next Spring on the broad tri-riyers
of the Western Alleghenies.
It's an idea just brought out to
clean up the Ohio, Monongahela and
Allegheny Rivers so Pitt, Carnegie
Tech and Duquesne can challenge
Eastern oarsmen as they have flung
down the gantlet in other sports.
There never have been any COL
legiate regattas in the history Of this
area, although favored by the fact
the three big streams merge in the
heart of Pittsburgh.
Will Make Real Drive.
RUT John J. Kane, who will become
an Allegheny County commits
sioner the first of the year. says:
I'm going to make a real fight to
bring college rowing here.
Wen see if we can't persuade Pitt,
Tech and Duquesne to put crews on
the rivers. And up the Monongahela
at Morgantown there's the University
Of West Virginia-there's no reason
why they couldn't join us.
why, we could even hold races
right downtown"
Architect Henry Hornbostel, ir1com-
ing director Of parks, echoes Kane's
view that the river cleanup for col
lege rowing is just as important as
q park system.
They both hope to have things
going by next Spring.
Athletic officials at the several uni
versities haven't commented yet.

Lack of Tall Players May Prove

which Virginias basket ball team
must be developed by Coach Gus

Capt. Ray Smith, Bus Male and
Fred Zeisberg, guards; Bud Abbitt,
center, and Ned Booker, forward, are
the five men who are left from the
1885 squad.
Lost are Capt. Henry Sturn and
Orlin Rogers, forwards, and Dave
Marrett and Harold Gist, guards.
The Cavaliers used 20 men in their
one preseason contest in which they
defeated Bridgewater, So to 81. The
five veterans formed the starting
team.
Lack of tall men is going to be a
handicap to the Cavaliers.
Some of those up from the 1885
freshman squad are Jimmy Edmunds,
Bob MILAN, Steve Davenport, Willis
Campbell, Bob Hansen, Dick Lederer
and Tom Taliaferro. Several of these
lads may give some of the regulars q
race.
Roy Peabody and Oscar Stevenson
are two other likely candidates who
were not on either last years varsity

High Jump Record Set.

EASTERN greeted the year by sweep
- ing the basket ball series, then fol-
lowed to win a thrill-filled base ball
series. Hap Hardell's powerful Tech
team won the track title with ease,
while Central annexed the foot ball
championship.
Eddie Miller of Eastern provided the
high light of the track meet by leap
ing 6 feet q inch to break by g
of an inch the high jump mark Cal
Milans of Central had set in 1926.

enced little difficulty in taking the
basket ball crown, interest in the series

Edelin, of Eastern and Francis (Reds)
DAILY Of Tech, forwards; Joe Hanley
Of Western, center, and Phil Maloney
Of Western, guard.
Some Of the most brilliant pitching
seen in local schoolboy ranks in recent
years was displayed by Frank Baroni

their bottle bats effectively to garner
their eighth base ball championship

MARYLAND, G. U. Please.

MARYLAND, with seven victories,
4'A two defeats and two ties, finished
only behind Duke and North Carolina
in the Southern Conference race.
Sweetening the Terrapins' season was
a 1915 victory over Georgetown in a
contest looked forward to by both
teams from the start of the campaign,
a victory which helped the Old Liners
to forget their two losses, to North
Carolina and Indiana. Maryland pre-
sented great back in Bill GuckeySon,
whose two long runs beat Georgetown.
1t was the greatest foot ball year in
history at Catholic University and
critics virtually were unanimous in
naming the Cardinals as the strongest
team of the Big Four"
Georgetown won only half of its
games, but the Hoya supporters were
more than satisfied. 1t may be said
that Georgetown'S team was the sur
prise of the year. Composed mostly
of sophomores, it came within a point
of marring the perfect record of New
York University and pulled sensa-
tional upset by beating Manhattan.
Jack Hagerty, with fair material for
the first time since he came to the
Hilltop as head coach, proved he knew
to a cleat what to do with it.

LITTLE Jim LEVEY
PRO GRID MARVEL
Ex-Marine Who Starred as
Browns ShortStop Now
Sparkling Back.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
" TITLE Jimmy Levey has sprint
ed to the athletic front ranks
again-but this time he car
- ried a foot ball instead Of a
base ball
The mite who covered the shortstop
area for the st. Louis Browns Of the
American League for three years after
q bright athletic career in the Marine
Corps starred as a halfback for the
Pittsburgh Pirates of the National
Professional League.
Levey-his full name is James
Julius Levey-weighs only 155 pounds
He is one of the smallest men in the
gridiron big time" But his speed
and ability to stand up under crushing
tackling of men much heavier have
given him a regular berth in competi-
ton among the foot ball giants.

Became Switch" Hitter.

HIS fielding was brilliant, but his
stick work mediocre. Bill Killefer,
then manager of the Browns, made a
"switch-hitte or right handed
out of him. He finished the 1882
season with a hitting mark of .280 for
152 games, pretty fair for the average
infielder.
The Browns new manager, Rogers
Hornsby, traded him after the 1888
season to Hollywood of the Coast
League.
A pitched ball hit him last Summer
and he spent six weeks on the bench,
but it failed to interfere with his foot
ball.
Levey, q native Of suburban East
Liberty, has played foot ball here on
the sandlots for years and never was
incapacitated. He is %, and never
played college foot ball
Levey says he escapes injury through
a knack Of avoiding head-on collisions.
Evening star., 1935-12-22
Foot Ball First Love,

EOOT ball really is Levey's first love.
He never thought of playing major
league base ball until an official of the
Browns saw him dashing TO touch
down in a game or 10 years go be-
tween the Quantico Marines and Wash
ington University Of st. Louis. Levey
carried the ball for the Marines.
The official was impressed with
Levey's speed. He overheard a remark
in the grand stand:
Say, you should see that fellow
play base ball. He is really good at
that"
SO the Browns base ball scouts
trailed him.
After Levey's enlistment expired, he
played base ball with the Tulsa and
Wichita Falls clubs, then went to St.
Louis in 1881.
