BASKETBALL
TEAMPL.AYS
At PH|LLY

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 25.-Boxing
and wrestling make their start
for the season at the Naval
Academy tomorrow, while the
basketball team, playing Pennsyl-
vania at Philadelphia, will be
engaged in it's only away from
home contest of the season. An
indoor rifle match and a plehe
basketball game complete the
Navy card for the day.
Wrestling with Pennsylvania,
rifle shooting with Cornell and
a basketball game between the
plebes and Tech High Of Washing
ton, D. c., are all booked for the
afternoon, leaving the boxing
match, which will be with Western
Maryland, as the evening attrac-
tion.
Western Maryland, coached by
Dick Harlow, always gives the
Navy a hard fight and will send
a particularly strong team to
Annapolis this time, hoping to
turn in a victory for Harlow's
last team to meet the Middies.
Cutter vs.. Kaplan
A match Of keen interest will
be that between Slade Cutter,
the Navy'S undefeated heavy
weight, and Bernie Kaplan, inter
collegiate champion lightheavy.
Kaplan will fight in the higher
class this time and Cutter is
likely to have one of the hardest
fights of his career.
Webb has picked these to
champion the Navy in the other
classes: Bantam, Felix De Golian:
feather, Walter Barry; light,
Jack Bitch; junior welter,
George Konkey, the District lad;
senior welter, Ned Michel; mid
die, Dave Zabriskie: llghtheavy,
George Lambert (captain).
These have been named by
Coach John Schultz to represent
the Academy on the mat against
Penn:
One hundred eighteen pounds,

Dougherty (captain) 1875 pounds,
Teddy Winters; 145 pounds, Ben
Adams or John Merryman; 155
pounds, Jack Hunter; ITS pounds,
Cy Cole; unlimited weight, Ken
Schacht.
Five Faces Odds
Judging by the showing against
North Carolina, the Navy will
have little chance in winning at
basketball from Pennsylvania,
something it has never done at
the Palestra. However, a return
to the form of the Columbia game
would make the Navy dangerous
to any team, and this is Just
what is hoped. There is a chance
that Jack Wilson will move Carl
Fellows from forward to guard,
benching Rodney Badger at the
start, and use Bob Ruge, plebe
ace last year, at forward. Against
Western Maryland, Ruge tied
with Bob Dornin for high scoring
honors, 13 points.

BAKER To CARRY
DUCK FIGHT

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-John
Baker, executive director Of the
National Association of Audubon
Societies, today reiterated his
promise that he will carry his
battle for a one-year moratorium
on duck shooting to a finish.
Bakers proposition to close the
season on duck for one year was
voted down Wednesday 3S to %.
Under Bakers plan, closed
season of a year on migratory
fowl would have begun next Sep
tember and the Federal Govern
ment would have been called
upon to enforce the ban and
game bird regulations and laws.

Just a touch screwy to you, as
it did to me originally, but
when you stop to realize that

tages Of such an arrangement.

Some such thought must
have crept into other minds be-
sides mine, for it is a matter Of

Throb Around Eyes
So 7 retired with a warm
feeling for DR.. Francis Everett
Townsend, the pleasant and
sprightly old gentleman from
California, who was fixing up
to take care Of "Old Bill'' when
Old Bill was no longer able to
take care Of himself.
I suppose it was along about
morning that I woke, with an
annoying throb around the
eyes and over the temples,
thinking that possibly there was
something wrong with the
doctors approach. My thought
was not, where is the money
coming from?
Who cares about that these
days, so long as it comes.
Rather it was the feeling
that DR.. Townsend was ap-
preaching the problem from
the wrong end.
Why not give this vast sum
to the youth of America-so
that the young can educate
themselves and enjoy them
selves and prepare themselves
for a life of usefulness after
35?
One of the complaints of the
Savants about our modern
civilization is that it is falling
too quickly into the hands Of

Whitney'S great horse, Twenty
Grand, and it seemed a cinch the
"Big Red Express" would go to

The special race is a Seven-fur-

Twenty Grand in his comeback

would you allow what many
people term "sportsmanship" to
influence you to order a punt
from behind your goal line?
Or would you consider discre-
ton the better part of valor and
voluntarily down the ball back of
the goal, giving the other team a
safety and 2 points, and then
order a boot down the field from
the comparative safety of the 20.
yard line?
If you put yourself under the
heading of folks who would do
the former, perhaps it will be bet
ter for you to lay this paper aside
in favor Of Sport Story Magazine,
for there, and probably there only,
will you find flaxen-haired grid
heroes who will agree with your
field generalship.
Not UnethicaI
All this verbiage is simply pre-.
pairing you for the statement that
commission of a deliberate foul in
basketball is no more unethical
than the granting of voluntary
safety to an opposing football
team and, in my opinion, neither
is unethical in any degree. On
the contrary, the quarterback
who decides on the safety and the
basketball player that wraps his
arms around an opponent who is
ahead of him and just about to
pop an easy shot into the hoop
both win my unqualified commen-
datlon on their brainwork.
Naturally, I am not speaking Of
fouls committed deliberately with
a view to injuring or incapacitat.
ing an opposing player. In the
years I have refereed basketball,
I have dismissed more players
from the floor for premeditated
attempts to injure an opponent
than I have sent lads to the
bench for taking an impulsive
unthinking blow at a real or ian.
cied tormentor.
Be Smart
All this will have to be accepted
as under the heading of Defense. "
Be smart at all times on the court.
Never foul a man for any reason
if he is outside of shooting range,
and deliberately only if you are
positive he can't miss the shot he
is about to throw up and equally
positive you can't block it. AND
THEN ONLY IF THE GAME DE.
PENDS ON THE SHOT.
A last word on defense. Never
crowd your opponent. Stay as far
away from him as you can safely,
because the closer you play him,
the easier it is for him to gain
that precious kalf-step lead that
will take him between you and
the basket. Always keep that
hand waving in his face when he
has the ball. Dog him and let
that doggedness be apparent

Young America Plan
For Young People.
By BILL CoRUM

that what we really need both
in business and society is more
conservatism, a more thought
full and mature consideration
Of the problems that beset us.
Another camplaint is that
we Americans never learn to
play. That we go on produc-
ing and piling up wealth past
an age when we should be en-.
joying ourselves and consum-
ing. That we don't, in short,
know anything but work. That
a scientific machine age liber-
ates us from toll, but that we
do not know what to do with
the leisure it imposes upon us.
Educate the Young
Well, then, Why not educate
the young to a full understand
ing of these new problems, and
prepare them to deal with
them?
With this in mind. I have
drawn a rough and hurried
draft Of '"The Young America
Plan" It's proposals are quite
as simple and certainly as
worthy Of consideration as
those Of the Townsend plan.
According to the latest fig.
ures of the United States Cen
sus Bureau, there are 13,000,-
600 young people in America
between the ages Of 16 and 81.
There are 100000 between
the ages Of % and 20, and an
additional 100000 between
the ages Of 80 and IS.
All told, this makes close to
41,000,00 bright young Ameri'
cans whom we propose to help
and educate when the Y.A.P.
(not to be confused with EPTCl
is enacted by Congress. You will
readily realize that 41,000,000
votes are a lot of votes, even
though some 100000 Of them
may have to wait a few years
before they are legal.
In this respect, The Young
America Plan is patiently SUI
perior to the Townsend plan.
Whereas, Mr.. Townsend's voters
will be dropping off in consid'
erable number from year to
year, ours will be increasing as
the boys and girls from 16 to
81 become voting age.
Graduate Payments
Also instead of starting every
body who comes within the age
limit out at 5000 a month and
keeping them at that scale in
definitely, we propose to grad
uate payments Of these pen
sions so as to keep our pension
ers in a hopeful and jolly frame
of mind.
Our idea is to give 500 per
month to all American citizens,
save criminals and public
charges, between the ages Of 16
and 81. Between the ages of
% and 20, they will receive
$3.50, and between 80 and 35,
after which they are finally
expected either to go to work
or to know how to loaf grace
fully, 5000 per month.
On such short notice I have,
Of course, been unable to work
my plan out in detail.
With your cooperation and
interest, I am certain that we
can quickly build Y. A. P. to
proportions where Congress will
not dare to ignore us.

NESS!

FOCAL dealers are reporting fast
IL sale of BOTTOMS UP," a Ken
lucky straight whisky first introduced
into this market a short time ago. The
reason is easy to explain. While
BOTTOMS UP" sells at a low price,
1t is ESTER-TESTED for mellow
ness before bottling.
Whisky drinkers have been looking
for this quality. As esters develop with
age, and give whisky its finer qualities
of flavor, aroma and melIowness, the
ester-test is the safest guide to insure
that each bottle of BOTTOMS UP"
is properly matured before bottling.
Now being aged for at least a full year
in warehouses with controlled summer
temperature and humidity, wonderful
results are accomplished in imparting
real smoothness and melIowness to
BOTTOMS UP" Also high per-
centage of small grains is used, giving
it a unique favor and excellence. Its
quick-won popularity makes it possible
for you to get it at almost any good

Last Evening.

Preserving an established reputation
among local amateur groups. the
Montgomery Players last evening pre-
sented an excellent performance of
Elmer Rice's Counsellor at Law" in
the auditorium of Bethesda Chevy
Chase High School. The play is fine
entertainment and, in addition, fur
nishes an adequate test for any ag-
gregation of thespians. which test the
Montgomery Players met with pleas
ing suficiency.
The principal characterization is
that of George Simon, who, coming
out of New York's East Side, becomes
a renowned attorney, riding the crest
of wave of fame and affluence that
comes in the play very. very close to
breaking. only to resume its course.
Ralph Fowler leaves little to be desired
in this role, discounting a few minor
stumbles. Playing with understanding
and delicacy of shading, he is to the
audience George Simon, lawyer.
Regina Gordon. Simon's secretary,
is done admirably by Martha Will

to Simon, whose exercise of a former
failing saves his chief from disbar-
ment, must also be recorded as emi-
nently satisfactory, though the entire

with which the play is replete.
The settings of j. A. Bishop are
to be commended. Unfortunate fail

"IRON DUKE" is HELD
FOR A SECOND WEEK
Belasco's Feature Picture Stars
George Arliss, With Entire
British Cast.

1t was almost inevitable that
George Arliss and his Iron Duke"
would be held over at the Belasco.
The combination of Arliss' popularity,
with the pictorial magnificence with
which Gaumont-British has mounted
this historical document of the con-
fused and epochal hundred days, is
little too good for mere seven-day
run, even though the film may have
few shortcomings.
The direction and production have
made the story into forceful and
moving picture of the exciting days
following Napoleon's escape from
eXile-the battle of Waterloo and the
power.
Mr.. Arliss, whether he presents
Wellington exactly as Wellington or
not, certainly is worth watching. He
offers an erudite bit of acting. well
in keeping with what he has done in
the past. He is hot-tempered, Sar-
donic and perhaps bit too fond of
the opposite sex. But whether George
Arliss does a Duke of Wellington who
would fit into your history book is
perhaps a matter of opinion. He is
George Arliss, and that's enough. An
entirely British supporting cast con-
tributes to the general good qualities
of the film.
A comedy with Shirley Temple

covered"-an animated cartoon and
a news reel complete the Belasco bill.
