comes respectively for the year 1929"
1t charged Du Pont was to pretend"
to sell securities to RaSkob at prices
below what Du Pont had paid for the
similar resales.
Raskobs statement on the Du Pont
case admitted the stock transactions
but contended he and Du Pont had
merely taken advantage Of the pro-
vision afforded by law to establish"
losses they actually had incurred
through the drop in market value Of
stocks that fell.
Transactions Are Detailed.
The Government brief contained
copies of letters from Raskob to Du
tions involving almost s30,000,000
during 1929. Raskob, the brief said,
received checks totaling about $14,-
883. .401 from Du Pont, while Du Pont
received $14,883, ,354 from Raskob, leav-
ing a difference of only S46.86 upon
completion of their transactions.
RaSkob deducted alleged stock losses
of S4,375,523 from his 1929 tax return,
while Du Pont subtracted $3,l20.646.
Specifically, the Treasury said today
that the $4,375,523 which Raskob de-
Quoted consisted of a fictitious loss"
under the terms of his agreement with
Du Pont and should be restored to
taxable income.
1t also took exception to reduction
of S80,434 enormously allowed" 1t
said, by its own Bureau Of Internal
Revenue, arising from a loss claimed
by Raskob in connection with the
pretended" sales of Warner Bros. and
Checker Cab stocks.
Incomes Held Not Listed.
Moreover, the Treasury said Raskob
failed to report income of S95,036
earned from operations in a Simms
Petroleum Co. syndicate and 1924, ,064
from Fox Theater Corp. operations.
The brief said that on January s.
1880, Raskob drew check in favor of
Du Pont for $780, 500 when his bal
ance at the close of that day was only
81, ,16l SOS.
1t also said his credit balance at
the bank at the close of business jan
uary was $2,1l6,590, and that no
credits we're made to his account in
the bank in the meantime except q
sum of $4,780.

AS this is written the Washington
College basketball team is again on
top in the Maryland Collegiate Bas-
ketball Association title chase. But
when it is read the situation may be
changed; Washington and Mt. st.
Mary's may be tied again or the
Mounts may have the advantage.
1t has been great race and has
stirred up interest in basketball among
the colleges as nothing else has done
in recent years. Even the teams def
initely out of the pennant contention
are having grand time pecking at
the leaders and causing them no end
of embarrassment.
This time last week Western Mary
land was in good spot to get back
into the very thick of the fight but
the loss to Mt. st. Mary's on the
Westminster court was costly.
Mt. st. Mary's too, lost a chance
to gain valuable ground by bowling to
Loyola on Saturday night. Wash
ington kept in the race by trimming
St. Johon's at Annapolis.

Curly Byrd

The advancement of Curly Byrd
to the presidency Of the University
of Maryland is good news to all
sports-loving people in the State and
is another case of an Eastern Shore
boy rising to great heights. Curly,
long identified with athletics at the
State university, can be depended up
on to do all in his power to promote
sports throughout the State.
Curly's athletic career, too, is one
to inspire the youth Of the State. He
was undaunted when as youngster
he reported for football at old M. A.
C. and was told he was too slight to
rate uniform. He continued to stick
out for the team, using his own, home
made equipment, and soon was star,
one of the greatest athletes the State
has ever developed.

Kate Smith, popular radio songbird,
served as judge of the national A. A.

the gala Winter Sports Carnival which
attracted thousands of athletics and
spectators to Lake Placid in the Adj
rondacks, the weekend Of Washing
tons Birthday.
Immediately after her Thursday

broadcast, heard over WABC CHS
network Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday evening at 7:3O P. M, est,
Miss Smith dashed up to the winter
resort. The train at Grand Central
Station was delayed ten minutes, in
order that she might be able to ar
rive from the studio.

Throughout the course of the three

Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Feb.

tess at "Coffee Time" parties. More
than $4,000 cups Of coffee were SER
we'd to the visitors.
Palaces of ice were constructed at
the Olympic Arena, Olympic Ski Hill
and Mirror Lake Skating Rink. Girls
costumed in ski suits served hot cof-
fee from thermos jugs, during the
hockey, speed skating, bobsledding and
ski-jumping championship events.
An ardent Winter sports fan, the
radio star has served as judge in sew
eral previous races. Recently, she
was judge in the Adirondack Bob
Sled Clubs annual intra-club race, in
which 40 teams competed. She plans
to donate her own trophy next year,
either as a prize for bob-sled racing,
or as an award for all-round excel
lence in the various winter sports.
For the past four years, she has
been going to Lake Placid. Whenever
she is not otherwise engaged, she
spends her week-ends at the resort.
She has already mastered the intri-
cacies Of ice-skating and bob-sledding.
Her next venture will be skiing, she
confides.
The Washington's Birthday carnival
represented the highlight of the pres
ent season at Lake Placid. Hundreds
Of teams and individuals from all
parts of the United States and Canada
competed. Among the novel events
featured on the program were dog
sled races.

assists and whether or not some play
ers are shooting too much.
However, it is interesting to note
how some players are as successful
at feeding" as others are in scor-
ing. A good passer, getting the ball
to teammate cutting for the basket,
can almost assure the goal; a poor
pass can almost make the goal i'm
possible.
The thing l am getting at is that
the player passing the ball to the
man making the goal is deserving OF
as much credit as the scorer. Ere
quently, indeed, he is due more credit.
1t is comparably easy to drop the ball
in the basket once in position but
some times it takes Houdini-like ef-
forts to get the ball to the man ready
to shoot.
The sad part about the whole
thing is that this fine team work US
ually goes umoticed and unpraised.

Sometimes 1 think it is a great
mistake for newspapers to play up
the leading scorers of certain sec
tons. such as the State of Maryland.
It places emphasis on scoring and
makes many of the players goal-con-
scious. It has in some instances hurt
team play very noticeably.
Some coaches have an assistant
manager keep endless statistics on as
sists, shots attempted and the like.
This has always appeared to me as
pretty much a waste Of time because
the coach, in watching the game,
knows well enough who is making the
