back. He Is the best paSSer IN the

the plaudits Of the critics for his
generalship.
Sloan, of Arkansas, was the best
halfback to show here this year.
He threw strikes with soggy, wet
ball in that memorable game with
G.. w. He is also a Junior.
Ray Hapes, Mississippi's flash.
is the other halfback. He couldn't
get going in the mud and mire Of
Griffith Stadium, but gave flashes
of his really brilliant, speedy self
that enabled him to streak to
touchdowns against Temple, Tu-
lane and Miami.
Turner Stands Out
Last, comes Jay Turner of the
G. WIS. He played a steady game
against Mississippi. He took the
ball on the 50-yard line in the
Arkansas game and rushed it to a
goal to put G.. w. ahead, 1876, and
then, in the waning moments OF
the game, Keen, the speedy little
Razorback, broke loose from his
own At and it looked like sure
touchdown until Turner sprang
from nowhere on that mud-soaked
field to bring him down on the
1-yard line and save the game.
Everybody is thoroughly &C
quainted with the story book
finish of the Wake Forest game,
when Turner took the game-win-
ming touchdown after the gun had
sounded the final second. What a
plunge to the goal line that was,
with a Deacon hanging on eacn
leg. That should be enough for
most players, but not for Jay.
In that Thanksgiving battle
with West Virginia, it was again
Turner that turned the tide. With
three minutes to go and the score
20 against G. W., he made seem
ingly impossible catch of one of
joey Kaufman's heaves and, with
the fight of an Infatuated bull,
fought tacklerS off to the 1-yard
line, where Hankens took it over
for another breathless G. w.
victory.

heights when the going was tough,
as he did against w. Va, N. Y.

greatest local center since Claude
Grigsby, G.. US great All-East cen
ter of 1927 who was beaten out for
AIl-American honors by the great
larry Betencourt, former ST.
Mary,s star. Verify, Hardy is a
great center and inspirational
leader and is deservedly captain
of the team.
Guards Poor Field
The guards come next. Staple
toms play against Mississippi, Ar
kansas and West Virginia gives
him the nod over a poor field. The
sport writer's acclaimed him as
the outstanding lineman in the
Rice game at Houston. The other
guard is Captain Rogers, Of Wake
Forest, who played brilliant
game against G.. w. in that heart
throbbing 1912 G. W. victory.
The tackles make a brighter
study. Bruiser Kinard was big
husky chap and played bang up
game all year. Van Sickle was
another tackle who scintillated,
and was chosen on the second
all S. w. Conference team. He
delighted in piling up the oppo-
sition with undimiShed drive.
The ends were the brightest spots
of good lines wherein three meg
were brilliant. They were Benton,
Of Arkansas; Barna. Of West Vir-
GINA, and Hanken, Of George
Washington. AS an end, as pass
receiver, as an in t e rference
srnasher Benton belongs in the up
per bracket of any all-star Selec-

year as he is only junior.

Teams 10 P lay
Man-for-Man
System
BY GARRETT WATERS

You need talk only a few min.
.utes to George Freilicher, Tech
High basketball mentor, to realize
the Tech five will be well drilled
by the time the interhigh series
commences.
Freilicher gives that favorable an
impression. The former George
Washington University ace is only
temporarily assigned at Teen High.
But before stepping down in favor
Of Rusty Thompson. 1885 men
tor, who returns from New York
in February, Freilicher will have
the Tech team in working gear or
know the reason why.
The mentor has five youngsters
from last years team as a nucleus.
They are Jimmy Vernlillion and
Walton Merchant, forwards; Ber-
ME Pickett and Bill Meyers,
guards, and Tom Dobyns, center.
Mentor Experiments
Thus far in practice sessions
and games, Freilicher has expert
mented to the nth degree. He's
put his players at every position
to decide the positions best suited
to their talents.
In this work the mentor has
found several new candidates of
talent. Two in particular have
looked good. They are Dick See,
formerly Of a California high
school, and Stretch" Mills, of the
1886 junior varsity and a play
ground athlete of note.
See and Mills have clicked from
the start. It looks now as if the
former will start the season at
one Of the guard positions with
Mills at center.
Vermillion and Merchant have
looked best for forwards, although
Pickett has given the pair quite
a battle. Myers and Dobyns have
been fighting it out for one Of the
guard berths.
Football Aces Out
Freilicher has Johnny William
son and George Zuras, Of football
fame, are out for the team. Both
are promising and will be used in
the series. Red Kendall is still
another candidate who has posi-
bilities.
Tech will play the man-for-man
style of basketball this year. Fre1-
licher likes this system best, and
has drilled his candidates earnestly
on it ever since he first called prac-
tice two or three weeks ago.
In years back Tech has been
known to employ the zone de-
tense. It was quite effective for
a while, but about two years ago
it was discarded.
The Trainers have nothing but
practice sessions before them be-
tween now and the Christmas holi-
days. However, couple Of games
will be played in January as tune
up events for the interhigh series.
George Washington Frosh are
listed January at Tech; Southern
High, January 5, at Tech, and St.
Johns, at st. Johns, January 8.
Then will come the teams debut
in the interhigh series against
Roosevelt, January IL, at Tech.

which is available to US. How
ever, Alexander, since we have a
pint of excellent Bourbon with
us, and dry Yarmouth, and our
own bitters, and a thermOS
bottle, why not mix a full quart
of Manhattans, and what we
do not drink before luncheon
we'll drink at the game this
afternoon?
Alex-A very excellent idea,
Joseph, my boy, an excellent
idea! Shall / proceed with the
mixing, or would you prefer to
mix the cocktails, Joseph, old
sport?
Alex always mixed the Manhat-
tanS. Always each had his cock
tail before luncheon, which con-
sisted of a cup of soup. with the
natural result that Alexander and
Joseph Just reached the stadium

gods had been kind enough to
have left to the Just cellar quite
a few cases of the very best Bour-
bon. Incidentally, that grand little
glow which gives one high" feel
ing was ever upon the twins as
they took their seats in the grand
stand.
On the particular day Of which
I speak, Notre Dame met Purdue,
for the championship of Indiana.
The game had just started as the
Just twins took their seats in the
grandstand. The Notre Dame lad
who had caught the kickoff fun
bled the ball, but recovered on
Notre Danes 15-yard line. It
was first down for the Ramblers,
10 to go.
JOe-WelI, Alexander, what're
they going to do now?
Alex-Punt, to be sure!
Notre Dame lined up, ran an
end run from punt formation, and
gained IA yards, putting the ball
at the Notre Dame 29-yard stripe.
JOe-Well, Alexander, what're
they going to do now?
AIex-The smart thing, JOS
eph, my boy, is for NOtre Dame
to play a criSs-cross with the left
halfback coming around this
right end.
Notre Dame lined up, shifted,
and played a straight line plunge.
The ball-carrier got loose in the
secondary and made II yards be-
fore he was doWned. The ball now
was at the Notre Dame 46-yard
line, first down. Alex and Joe
each had a quick drink out Of the
thermos bottle.
JOe-Well, Alexander, what're
they going to do now?
Alex.-A line smash, by all
means, Joseph, my boy. Yes,
indeed, good, Old-fashiOned,
straight-ahead line smash.
Notre Dam lined up. shifted,
and the ball was snapped. It was
a neat play, nicely masked. Out
of the play developed a forward
pass, which was good for first
down at Purdue's 32-yard line.
Alex and Joe each took a healthy
pull on the thermoS.
JOe-Well, Alexander, what're
they going to do now?
Alex-The play now, without
question, is q drive at Purdue's
left tackle. Don't you see how
close in he's playing?

Loan Q ffice
Employs Negroes

Two pawn shops in the City, the
Yochs Loan Office, 1902 Hastings
Street, and the Norris Loan Office.
5000 Hastings Street, have in their
employ in responsible positions,
colored help in the capacity of
clerks and book keepers. The pro-
prietor, Norris Wassman, the own
er Of the two loan offices, has been
in business over fifteen years and
he believes that since most Of his
business is from colored people,
he is doing no more than he should
by employing colored help, in re-
sponsible positions.
Mr.. Wassman has been of great
assistance to the colored people in
his vicinity. aside from advancing
liberal loans TO them on their per
sonal property.
