eacn season providing tough
games can be scheduled"
Early last fall when all the
basketball coaches were arrang-
ing their floor schedules, Coach
Moore concocted his idea of
compiling a strenuous program
of games for the 1885 Western
High five.
His efforts were successful as
he listed contests with the
Georgetown Freshmen, Baltimore
City College, George Washington
Frosh, Maryland Freshmen, St.
Johns Prep, Washington and Lee
High, and Gonzaga. The games
against the Frosh fives were the
toughest, of course, although
Baltimore City College and st.
Johns proved troublesome.
Results Benefit
The results were decidedly
beneficial to his uncertain, but
promising team, including Joe
Brennan, Joe Hanley, Bob Dod-
deridge, Phil Maloney and Clar.
ence Allen. The sought-for ex-
perience was gained, that certain
confidence was born-so much
so that the youngsters entered the
interhigh race with ambitions
quite high as to their showing.
What they've done since is now
history. The big highlight was
the victory over Tech. This set
the team on it's way. Today it is
nearer to the defending cham.
pions, Eastern. than any other
club in the series.
Tomorrow the Georgetowners
play Eastern in the Tech gym at
$3.50 p. M, in what will be their
most important game of the sea-
son. A victory will not gain them
the lead in the interhigh race,
but it will reduce EaStern's first
place margin so much that the re-
mainder of the race will be any
thing but dull for all concerned.
Eastern holds the top rung at the
present moment with five victories
and no losses. Western is second
with four triumphs as against one
loss.
Central VS.. Roosevelt
Central plays Roosevelt in the
other interhigh game tomorrow at
the Roosevelt gymnasium at $3.50
p. m. The Mt. Pleasanters should
win this one, since Roosevelt has
been unable to supply the slightest
sort of opposition thus far.
CentraIs big attraction now is
Bill Thompson, towering center.
This lad, knowing little about the
fundamentals of basketball at the
start of the season, has improved
by leaps and bounds during the
last few weeks and today looms as
a dangerous threat for All-High
honors. His play, both today and
during the remainder of the Sc
ries, will be watched with interest,

Discovers Discipline Real Meaning of

By FRANK "BUCK" O'NEILL

Bill Brown, of the New York
State Athletic Commission which
governs boxing-or tries to in the
Empire State-has discovered dis
cipline.
Because of the important and
precarious position boxing holds
in New York at this time, the dis
covery of Commissioner Brown is
important. So far as Brown is
concerned, it is apocalyptic. Hav-
ing made one discovery, he may
yet make another, and even a
third. One of them may be good.
Mr.. Brown has discovered that
the State Athletic Commission
runs boxing in New York. Did I
hear you say "and look at the
damned thin g?". Well, never
mind. The important thing is
that Mr.. Brown made the discov-
cry, probably all by himself.
He revealed this to an aston
ished world in New York when
he refused to permit Jack Demp-
sey to referee a fight at Madison
Square Garden.
eve, the representatives Of
New York State, will not per-
NIT Madison Square Garden to
dictate whom we shall appoint
as referees!"
Thus roared Brown, waving one
hand in the air with oratorical
flourish.
He replied to a request by Col.
John Reed Fitzpatrick that the
commission appoint Jack Demp-
sey as referee at Friday nights
come all yez.
Frowns on Layman
Now that's fine. The Great
Discoverer of discipline refused to
permit a mere layman to dictate
to the peopul of New York State
on the subject of a referee in a
beak-busting brawl. But let's roll
back the curtain for a few years
and look at the early days OF
legalized fighting in New York.
When the Walker law passed
the New York State legislature
Bill Brown, the Great Discoverer
conducted a gymnasium in West
Twenty.third Street. In this gym
nasium. in the good old days, he
conducted membership fights
His Saturday night fistic soirees
were literally patronized, for you
were sire of a fight in every
match. Brown was the referee
and one of the best I have ever
seen in a ring. In fact, he and
George Blake, of Los Angeles, are
the two best I have ever seen.
Tex Rickard, forWard-think'
ing and we'll advised, grabbed a
lease on Madison Square Garden
He appointed Bill Brown as his
referee. Bill handled his assign
ments perfectly, but it wasn't
