Opens al
Temple
BY GINO SINH

Tonight the Middle Atlantic
States will crown not one but two
new duckpin champions.
They will be the winners of the
sixth annual Washington Times
Atlantic Duckpin Doubles which
open at 2 p. m. today at North
east Temple and wind up at the
New Recreation drives starting at
1880 p. m. Entry fee is $24 per
team.
Twenty of the leading tandem
observation-disclosures of Washington,
Baltimore, Annapolis and Rich
mond, and probably, Norfolk, will
ben on hand for the set-to.
Russ Spillman and Paul Jar
man, the defending champions. go
to the post full of confidence but
underdogs on the dope" sheet.
If determination means anything
they will be very much in the run
ming until the last ball goes spin
ming down the maple-ways.
Surprise Entry
A surprise last minute entry
was that of Ellsworth Geib and
Clifton Hollis, two of the Howitz-
ers of the Temple major leagues
leaders, the Rinaldi TailorS. Geib
and Hollis, who have been smack
ing the naples for powerful totals
the past month, rate high among
the dark horses" and will bear
close watching, for both are thor
oughly familiar with the two
plants on which the classic is be-
ing rolled.
Not to be overlooked are Louis
Ruche and Harry Penfold, and
mel" OFT and Harry Hilliard, win
ners of free entries at the New
Recreation. Both these two teams
have the "click" which is so neces-
sary to victory in doubles competi-
ton and both had to "click" to
win their entries.
Baltimore's Stars
Baltimore will be potently repre-
sented by Charles Glessner and
Hank Mowbray, of the Arcade al
leys, Doc Pickus and Meyer Jacob
son, of the Recreation plant, Earl
Soup" Campbell, of Annapolis.
and Art F'elter, of the Rintoul
All-StarS.
Ray Won Dreele, the Flyin'
Dutchman, who misses no major
duckpin event, will be on hand
with possibly Norman Roeppelt,
the Highland alley sensation, who
recently won the Chesapeake Elm
ination.
Ray Barnes has thrown his lot
in with his good friend and keen
est rival of years ago, Ollie Paci1li.
Bill Arnold and Ray Phipps, An,
napolis' leading twosome, is eX-
pected to turn up.
Twenty Teams Awaited
All in all, 20 teams are expected
to face the starting line, with
plerXy of dark-horses.
At Temple some of the entries
will have a chance to try out the
newly-installed top floor alleys. but
all drives on which the event will
be rolled have been primed for the
highest scores and if records do
not fall it won't be the fault of
the establishments.
Remember, 2 p. m. at North
east Temple, 7:30 p. m. at New
Recreation. And may the best
two men win!

no team has been able to accom-

A noisy, carefree group of 800
rooters from Fort Worth, confident
the Frogs could turn the trick,
looked at the betting odds-which
make the Broncos 10 to favor
ites-as a good thing" laid their
own money down with gusto and
a boast they would return to the
Lone Star State with a carload
of California money"
Leo R. Dutch" Meyers, the
Frogs coach, said:
eve hate to spoil the BrOncOS'
perfect record of no defeats and
no ties. But think we will.
After all, we have a record of
our own to maintain, and it is:
Never lose to Santa Clara We
licked the BrOncOS in 1884 and
1885, and we are ready to do it
again."
Meyers added he thought that
any eleven led by his All-American
backfield ace, "Slingin' Sam"
Baugh, could beat Santa Clara.
"ThiS is Sans last game and
he has promised to go to town."
Meyers said.
The Broncos, eager to move into
New orleans for their Sugar Bowl
engagement against Louisiana
State on New Year Day with their
perfect record intact, promised to
intercept every pass tossed by
Baugh.

HUNTING
(AccOrding to
Izaak WGLtOn)

Those hunters that are men,
bers of the Kenwood Skeet Club
have found that their days
abroad after the elusive upland
birds are far more productive
from spending so much time on
their two fine skeet fields; It
isn't a hard task, either. to put
in a couple of hours, several times
a week on these fields. The mem
bers are ever ready to welcome
a newcomer and show him the
best they have. Try it sometime
soon.
Generally Around
Joe Clark, who, by the way,
has been going places with his
scoring in the past year, is gen.
orally around some place and it
is impossible to find anyone bet
ter to get acquainted with. He
says tomorrow's turkey shoot and
oyster roast will supply all the
sport and fun that anyone could
ask. for. The shoot will be run
on a new handicap basis, so that
those who are poor shots will
have just as much chance as do
the good ones. Don't delay in
getting your entry in.
On January 9 and 10 the club
will hold the Witty Cox Invitation
Trophy Shoot. 1t is expected to
be a real affair.
Arlington County Commissioner
Freeland Chew and G.. S. Kerfoot,
both of Clarendon, are to be con-
graduated because they got their
deer on the first two days out.
Then again they are in line for
coincidence. for who could hunt
day after day for other game and
pass up the deer, which is just
what they had to do to continue
going up to that fine camp of
theirs in Bath county.

county, see Harry Hickman at

per day at any one of a dozen diff
ferent places. Season now is over

OLLEGE PARK. Md, January

roughshod over Maryland in

ball game that opened the twin bill
here tonight, A to 80. The Terps
played rsggedly.
Apparently smarting from their up
set by Virginia the night before the
Tarheels started with a rush and never
were headed.
With Melvin Nelson and Paul
Kaveny pouring the ball through the
hoops from just outside of Maryland's
zone defense, the Tarheels assumed
an 8-to-2 lead, faltered to allow the
Terps to draw up to an ll-to-9 count.
and then close with a rush at half
time to rest on a 23-to14 edge.
Terps Are Erratic.
MARYLAND failed to improve after
A'A the rest period. Apparently it
was one of the "of1" nights for the
Terrapin quint for it never seemed
able to get passing to function. Time
after time the Old Liners were pre-
scented with opportunities to score but
their floor game was so ragged that
North Cardinals defense was able to
break up the attack.
The TarheeS. living up to their
reputation as one Of the classiest teams
in the conference. presented pair OF
sharpshotters in Nelson and Kaveny
who took down scoring honors with
IS and IL points, respectively.
