Werber, Berger
Roofing Rivals

Two big-league ball players, pals
at Tech High School, but rivals in
college and in the major diamond
realm, will also will be rival rooterS
when Duke and Maryland play
basketball Saturday night at Col
lege Park to open up the Old
Liners twin bill, which ends with
a boxing meet between the Terps
and Virginia.
They are Bill Werber, who shone
in basketball and baseball for
Duke, and Bozie Berger, who was
just as illustriouS In these two
sports and football for Maryland.
Werber doubtless had the edge
on Berger in baseball and probably
still is a little up on Bozie in that
pastime, but the latter, twice ALI
America in basketball, shaded Bill
on the court. Football did not
appeal to Werber, and Berger,
while never greatly enamored Of
the game, was one of the best half
backs ever to play for the Old
Liners.
Both live nearby, Berger at
Rosslyn and Werber at College
Heights, just stones throw from
the University of Maryland.
While Bozie and Bill will be on
opposite sides during the court
contest, Werber doubtless will join
hands with Berger in pulling for
the Terp boxers against the Cava-
liers. But the loser in the basket
ball game is in for a good riding
from the other.

Hard Luck
Shadows
Young

Some day Walter Young is going
to get a break. Maybe he broke
a mirror when he left Chillicothe,
Ohio, to come to American U. as
coach seven years ago.
Last year after four games he
lost the services Of the two men
around whom he'd built his bas-
ketball team. Skippy Edwards
and Bob Taylor were declared in
eligible. This year he looked for
ward to q successful season be-
cause he had a promising fresh
man class to pick from, but then
his football ace, Sparky Bartlett,
also q mighty mean basketball
player, was injured and four
others were declared scholas-
tically ineligible.
Drill in Evening
He started practice in the eve
ming with students filling in at
forwards and guards to give a So
called varsity some scrimmage.
He lost a tough contest to Hamp-
den-Sydney and came back to
trounce Maryland State Normal
when a group of players were re-
instated enthusiastically.
Lynchburg fell before his
Eagles attack and then final ex-
aminations interviewed. The same
final examinations that each year
take such heavy toll on Young's
athletes, but, alas, they all came
through. Prospects appea ed
bright. Today, however, two days
after the close of examinations,
the American U. mentors face is
not all smiles as it was. His cen
ter, Carl Benny" Benscotter, has
the mumps, putting him on the
shelf at least three weeks.
Face Gallaudet
Saturday night Young's men
face their traditional rivals from
Gallaudet in the A. U. gym, a
game they were certain to win,
they thought, with Benscotter at
work, but which today looms as
tough as any they are yet to en-
counter.

Louis Attitude
Tres BrdddoCk

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 30.-"WhO
is Joe Louis, a challenger, to
dictate to the champion?"
That's the answer today of Jim
my Braddock to Louis reputee
statement that he won't fight
Braddock this year.
Louis has built up tremen.
douS reputation by published re-
ports" BraddOck added, that
doesn't make him any stronger
inside the ropes than if he'd
never been heard of. Perhaps
he's afraid that after a bout
with me he won't have the
drawing power he has now.
"His published statement that
he wouldn't meet BraddOck is
the first intimation I've had that
he may not care to step in there
with me. That statement just
about lets him out as chal-
lenger. Let there be no more
chatter about the color line.
Last year my manager and /
went on record as saying I'd be
pleased to give Louis a crack at
the title.
"There will be a fight for the
heavyweight championship next
summer, Louis or no Louis.
Gould and I have been making
a survey Of outstanding chal-
lengerS, and I'll meet several Of
them in the near future. I'm
ready to meet any challenger
worthy of the name"

to the bread basket gave George
Chappelle, fighting heavyweight

ABLE" In it, Ruby Keeler and
Lee Dixon perform their taps on
a colossal typewriter, spelling out
the words of the song they do it
to, and as they step on each key,
instead Of a type bar rising to
tap out the letter on the paper,
a chorus girls leg will do the
trick. The only difficulty they
have had so far in filming the
number has been that Dixon taps
on the wrong keys now and
again.
The funniest casting recently,

WORKERS ALLIANCE VISITS
COUNCIL

Arvo Fredrickson presented the
demands of the local unemployment
organization which is affiliated with
the Workers Alliance of America to
the Trades and Labor Council last
Tuesday.
In describing the aims which the
union is seeking he stated that a 20
per cent increase in WPA wages was
necessary, also recognition of the
union, and the payment of union
wages in places where it is not now
being given and a minimum compen-
sation of $4,000 a month. Both Pat
King and Fredrickson requested the
endorsement of the Silver Bow
Trades and Labor Council to their
organization and to their demands.
The matter was turned over to the
organization committee.
In F%redrickson's remarks he stated
that President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor had
endorsed the Workers Alliance.
Pat King gave a warning that rec
ignition of the Workers Alliance and
their demands were necessary in or
der to protect the bona fide trade
union movements from being in
iured by organizations seeking to
tear down established union stand
ards.

UNIONS Donate $500 TO
MOONEY

Quite a lengthy communication
was received from Tom Mooney who
is in jail in San Quentin, the result
of a frame-up resulting from some
bombings at the San Francisco Pre-
paredness parade in 1915.
A hearing has been in progress in
California before a referee appoint
ed by the Supreme Court. Tom
Mooney doesn't have any faith in the
outcome of this present trial and
thinks it will have to 60 to the Su-
preme Court, but at any rate he
stated that the material that has
been gained shows perjury on the
part of many of the witnesses. Much
good will result from the exposures
which the hearing uncovered. The
delegates donated $500 in order to
help Mr.. Mooney carry on his fight
for exoneration and liberation.
