from which at least two of the
rings big men did not rebound
successfully.
Now, having with us this in
dividual with the murderouS
maulies and momentary flashes
Of viciouSneSS but not the
other half Of the bonanza com.
bination, a duplicate of Rick
ard, can the fight fans assume
we are at least half way back
on the road to pugilistic re-
covery?
Can this Max Baer, called
the buffoon and the matinee
idol, be the wedge that is to
bring back the olden, yea,
golden days of the resined
arena?
Is it probable that he will be
the instrument which will build
up gates comparable to those of
Philadelphia and Chicago when
Dempsey packed the house
while Tunney packed the
punch?
It will be an interesting
thing to watch - the type Of
magnetism which Max Baer ex-
ercises over the fans, if and
when he lets in the clutch of
his fighting machine and takes
UP the business seriously, to
the exclusion Of all other public
exhibitions.
Defense Hampers G.. w.
Saturday night at Tech High
gymnasium George Washing
tons Colonials get their second
crack at strong Midwestern
basketball opposition when
Drake University's Bulldogs ap-
pear in the windup game of q
3,000-mile Eastern invasion.
Perhaps the Colonials will
find Drake somewhat worn by
the Bulldogs several onenight
stands and cash in on that &C.
count, but it seems to us that
unless the G. WIS improve their
defense-Which was sadly lack
ing and, may we say, disorgan-
lied, in the recent Indiana game
the visitors will emerge vic
tors, worn or not.
Heretofore an offenSe.minded
basketball team, George Wash.
ington should certainly realize
now that 40 or so points are no
good if the enemy can get Al
or 81 or just a margin of one
point, whatever the score.
Closer Guarding Needed
Closer guarding at all times is
G. WIS greatest need, judging
from past performances, while
secondly comes protection of a
lead.
When they were leading In
diana by seven points midway
in the second half the Colonials
let the Hoosiers stand off and
pop four successive field goals
through the net, thereby wiping
away that precious lead, and
even then the Colonials failed
to close in. Had they held on
to the ball, cut down their shoot
ing and consequently minimized
Indiana's chances of gaining
possession of the ball by re-
trieving missed shots from the
blackboard, the Colonials today
might still boast an unbeaten
record.
However, that Indiana defeat
probably has done George
Washington more good than
harm. If it taught the G.
Streeters something about de-
fensive weakness the loss was
indeed a boon.

 With the establishment of the board of finance here. speculation is ripe as to who will make up the new group. The six members will be appointed by the board of se- lectmen and will serve until the annual election in October. when the board will be elected through the usual procedure of balloting.
