seem to add up any more :.
- For instance, this morning
there were veteran diamond men
galore who would not have batted an
eye If Col Jacob Rupert of the

and handed him a check for $500,000

business, but he did predict that Rup-

The Record Rush.

A RMY and Navy-Army and Notre
Dame-California and Stanford
among others-have had ticket stam-
pedes where the demand moved far
beyond the supply.
But the S. M. U.-Stanford Rose
Bowl game finds over $4,000 additional
parties out with a search warrant to
locate some form of parking space for
the human body.
The Sugar Bowl rush is about as
bad, so the two bowls this season will
set a new mid-Winter record for
American foot ball.
1t has been estimated that the two
together would bring out over 200 900
spectators if there was only space
enough to handle this many people.
One reason for this has been the
colorful ingredients that make up all
four teams.
1t isn't often that two foot ball
games will produce such stars as

-HE unusual and fascinating
spectacle of three, and possibly
four, hometown boys playing
l. on a local colleges basket ball
team will be presented to District court
fans tonight when Georgetown sends
trio of former all-high stars into its
opening game with Western Maryland
in Tech Highs gymnasium.
A preliminary involving the Hoya
freshmen and Western High will begin
at 7:30, with the varsity combat sched-
uled to go on an hour later.
Reared here and proteges OF the
city's finest scholastic court mentors
Charley Guyon and Bert Coggins-
Harry BaSsin, Tommy Nolan and
Buddy Nau have been selected by
Coach Freddy MeSmer to start for
Georgetown, while fourth, Sis Esen-
stad, a Roosevelt product, is regarded
as chief of the reserve brigade.
Moreover, if Mesmer desired, he
could start a team composed entirely
of all-District residents, Tommy Keat-
ing and Ben Zola being ready for
action. The former was an all-prep
selection when playing with George
town Prep two Winters back, and the
latter is another ex-Eastern star.
All-High Performers.
Doth Nolan and Bassin won all
high berths while playing with
Eastern in the series of 1888, while Nau
was selected for the mythical best"
team the Winter previous. He was
lust nosed out for the honor in his
senior year.
Don Gibeau and Mike Petroskey are
the only non-natives slated to start in
tonight's game and upon the former
rests the responsibility Of giving G. U.
something that deprived it of more
victories in the Eastern intercollegiate
Conference last year-a tall, depend
able center.
Petroskey. feet and husky Of 200
pounds, is the most aggressive man on
the squad under the basket and may
be the answer to Mesmer's prayers.
Petroskey still is somewhat awkward
in his floor game and the young mentor
is hopeful that a few games will
smooth out the rough spots.
Fonight's rivals fell before George
town last year, 1894. Admission to
the game will be 40 cents.

of his ideas about the fight tomorrow.

DEAL WOULD SEND
KLEIN TO OLD CLUB
Yanks Get Pearson, Sundra
From Tribe for Allen in
"Toss-Up" Swap.
BY WILLIAM WEEKES,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

HICAGO, December 12.-Their
rivals in the last world series,
the Detroit Tigers, having re-
paired a weak spot by the ac.
quisition Of AL Simmons, the National
League champion Chicago Cubs ap-
peared on the verge of doing some-
thing along the same line today.
Where the Tigers needed-and got
another strong outfielder in Simmons,
the Cubs most pressing lack last sea-
son was one more reliable starting
pitcher. They did nicely in their own
league without, but Manager Charlie
Grimm never ceased to yearn.
It was reported that the on-and-oR
deal by which the Cubs would obtain
Curt Davis, star right -hander Of the
Phillies. for Outfielder Chuck Klein
was on again. The plot was thick yes
terday morning, thinned out to almost
nothing last night and thickened up
again after midnight.
Cash Also to Figure.
THE most reliable report had 1t that
the Cubs would return Klein, for
whom they gave a reported 100000
and three players in 1888, to the Phil .
lies for Davis. In addition. the Phil
lies would receive pitcher and pos
Sibly little money. The pitchers
mentioned were Roy Henshaw, tiny
southpaw: Fabin Kowalik, young
right -hander, and James TEX Carle-s
ton, veteran right-hander obtained
from st. Louis a year ago.
That the swap was warm possibility
was indicated by the actions of Charlie
Grimm. manager and vice president
of the Cubs. After talking things over
most of the day with Manager Jimmy
Wilson Of the Phillies, he said he had
given up and would return to his home
in st. Louis last night. Later he sud-
denly announced that he had to stay
over. =
Another National League deal was
hinted when Bob Quinn. newly in.
stalled president and general manager
of the Boston Braves, said he would
have an important announcement to
