the Hyattsville- Mount Rainier feud

metropolitan affair. Hyattsville holds
the upper hand so far with an extra

their annual three-game series.
Another win for Hyattsville would
clinch a place in The Star tourna-
ment. but the next game between
the Prince Georges teams is not
scheduled until February 81, opening
day of the metropolitan event
Coaches Bill Yarnell of Hyattsville
and Perry Wilkinson of Mount
Rainier will get together tomorrow to
rearrange schedules, if practicable, to
settle the issue before the big play-of
Concerned Over Moran.
roth coaches are concerned over
the conditions of Hyattsville's star
forward, Johnny Moran, recently ILL.,
Moran scored 18 points when Hyatts-
vile won the series opener. 81 to 33,
and without him, or with Johnny not
up to snuff, Mount Rainier might
have distinct advantage. The
Mount Rainier coach is reluctant to
have his team meet Hyattsville until
its star is in the pink, and the
Hyattsville coach doesn't care to place
undue strain upon Johnny nor risk
unnecessarily the basket ball record OF
young Moran and his teamates. To-
morrow yarnell and wilkinson will
give Johnny as well as their schedules
a once-over.
Tech Highs team and the George

HOME PLAN
OFFERED
By. J. EARLE MOSER

Department of Agriculture en-

workers to effect a cooperative
housing movement by use Of semi
official channels, are planning a
second project of similar type, pro-
viding enough people can be found
who are interested sufficiently to
actually put up the cash.
Under the fatherly eye Of DR..
w. w. Stockberger, personnel Of
ficial, and DR.. Frederic C. Howe,
aide to Secretary wallace, housing
queStionnaireS and an outline Of
the proposed second movement
have been circulated among all
being returned to DR.. Howe'S Of
flee. If enough sound favorable, a
meeting will be held to get matters
under way.
The project may or may not be
similar to the one officials helped
personnel organize at Braddock
Heights, Va, which has been sue
ceSSful but fell somewhat short Of
attracting the hundreds it had
been thought would be interested.
According to the ideas of DR..
Howe, who is said to be the prime
mover of the new housing scheme,
it would be similar to Colonial
Village.
While it might be a cooperative
bloc of either homes or apart
ments, indications are that it
would be a mixture of both. AS
was done at Braddock Heights, the
employees would save by making
a general" contract for the entire
business with the financing agent,
which may be either Federal
agency or a private concern. The
question of using union labor,
which was not done at Braddock
Heights, hasn't come up yet pend
