With high hopes Of bringing

seven Washington boxers compel.

boxing tournament square off in
the Semifinals tonight in the
Hippodrome here. Five youths are
of the Washington Herald Golden
Gloves. Two are wearing the colors

Henry Peterson, 1875 pounds;
Steve Mamokas, lat pounds; May.
nard Daniels. heavyweight, and
Steve Thompson in the 100 pound
class. Billy Mcbride, 1873 pound
boy of the Twelfth Street Y. M. c.
A., and Billy Banks also Of the
gymnaSts stepped along, the last
named moving up by virtue Of
drawing a bye.
BrOOkman Defeated
Ell Brookman and Bobby
Schwartz, the latter of Alexandria,
were defeated. Brookman was
stopped when a punch opened an
old cut over his eye, after he had
fought well against clever, shifty
boxer named Ralph Di Castro of
Albany. Roy Kelly. an Irish lad
from Boston boxed too well for
Schwartz.
Eddie Saugstad took the house
by storm. He tore out of his
corner against Stanley Burns of
Syracuse, and swept the Salt City
man down to defeat in less time
than it takes to tell. It was /
minute and 80 seconds from gong
to gong, but Saugstad heard
plenty of cheering in that brief
space of time.
Steve Thompson showed the
crowd some real boxing as he
stepped and jabbed his way to vic
tory over Johnny Marshall of
Syracuse. That left hand was like
a rapier in the hands of an expert
swordsman. Thompson, slipped
punches on both sides and one of
his most effective punches was
countering left hook to the solar
plexus.
Peterson Comes Through
AS a result of Thompson's VIC
tory in the last bout of the night,
Washington stood right behind
Boston and New York in number
Of men qualified for the finals.
Boston qualified seven; New York
six and Washington five.
Henry Peterson started the
Washington boxers on their way
to victory, defeating Joe Stefano
of Rochester, N. Y. It was a ter.
rifle battle from start to finish.
Peterson staggered his man in the
second round with a well timed
right cross to the head. In the
third round Peterson rallied, but
in vain.
Ernest Hayes came to grief in his
match with Lou Preston, of
Rochester. The latter packed too
many guns.

field of cross country runners in
the National Capital Cross Coun-
try Run yesterday. Leiss stepped
over the trying Rock Creek Park
course to set a new record. His
time was 36:32 As.
Leiss was something of a long
shot in this race at the start, for
among his competitors was Bill
Agee, who makes a speciality of
winning these long distance races.
But Leiss was just too good for his
man, and led him over the line by
100 yards or more. Agee'S time
was 36:46.
Third honors in the grind went
to Lieut.. r. c. Bauer of the New

Team honors were won by Johns

went over.
Western Maryland scouts in the
stands had some extra notes to
make for in all previous games
in which they had secuted the
Terps Ellinger functioned chiefly
as signal caller and blocker.
Now they have Ellinger, Guckey-
son, and Meade to watch in the
December game.
The Maryland victory, while de-
cisive enough at the same time
proved the Terps were quite worn
down from the long schedule of
ten games to date. The teams
offense was not as sharp as it
could have been.
The game had progressed ten
minutes before the Terps seemed
fully aroused to the fact that the
Generals were well out in front
and threatening to take a firm
grip on the situation. Then the
aroused Old Liners began to fight.

supplied by Ellinger, soon took

GuckeySon was brilliant in his
punting role. Once, with the

kick that was estimated carried

Once again, with the aid Of

Chosen on
; Teams
BY LEO FISCHER

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-The final
whistle has blown, but the Big
Ten football season isn't over just
yet. There still remains the time
honored custom Of picking an all
star team, and today we unveil
the young men whom we believe
were the standout performers of
the year in their respective posi-
lions.
This was one of those years
when the conference was blessed
with an overwhelming amount OF
exceptional material.
Minnesota Leads
AS a result, we have selected
first, second and third teams with
a notation that in almost every
spot the selections are inter-
changeable. OF the 33 players
chosen, Minnesota leads with
eignt-three on the first team.
Northwestern is next with seven,
Of whom three also are placed on
the No. i lineup.
Our choice for the ends are
Matt Patanelli Of Michigan and
Johnny Kovatch of Northwestern
both a couple Of unsung heroes
of the current campaign.
For tackle it's Ed Widseth of
Minnesota and Charley Ham
rick of Ohio, hands down. They
were ''tops."
We may surprise some fans by
selecting Prescott Jordan of Chi
cago and Capt. Steve Reid OF
Northwestern for the guards.
Jordan Standout
Jordan was a standout even
with as mediocre a team as Chi
cago. Reid, in addition to lead
ing the Northwestern team to
Big Ten championship, was a
consistent performer.
We give Earl Svendson of Min
nesota first call at center. He
had just a shade over FL Sayre,
the Illinois captain.
For the backfield Vern Huff
man Of Indiana at quarterback,
Don Heap of Northwestern and
Andy Uram Of Minnesota at the
halves and Cecil Isbell of Pur-
due at fullback.

as it is played today is one of the most strenuous sports. Take away the center jump and you'll make it even more strenuous.
 A Breathing Spell The pause that follows every score while the players line up for the next jump gives every man a chance to catch his breath and to snatch a moments rest.
 College boys are young these days and they need that added instant of relaxation Putting the ball into play from the sidelines would ex- tend the average actual playing time of a game almost five min utes, and that is asking too much of the players.
 At Northwestern we use com bination of the fast and slow break ing offense, depending on the style of our opponents and, also upon our own material. We try to vary it to suit the need of the occasion.
 If the defense forms quickly we are slow to break, working the ball cautiously down the floor. But, if we grab the ball on the rebound,

SPORT SLANTS

The effects of nerve-strain in big-time tennis are being widely discussed in Australian tennis cir cles following an incident in which Vivian McGrath exponent of the two-handed backhand shot, was the central figure.
 McGrath abandoned a m h against +. Hopnan in the fifth set when Hopman led, 9-8, declaring he could not go on.
 This led w. V. Armstrong, Presi- dent of the New South Wales Lawn Tennis Association, who was um- piring, to charge McGrath with lack of sportsmanship.
 IcGrath, who has oeen paying four years without break, main- tains he was not fit and that when he retired he was physically in capable of further play.
 Crawcrd Tires. Too
 "Cnly players who have been through the ordeal Of three five set matches in two days when out of condition" he is quoted as say ing, "can appreciate that one hard ly knows what one is doing with nerves frayed to breaking point" Championship tennis has become hard work" to Jack Crawford, No. l Australian player, and he is dead ly tired of the game.

 Frankly, I'm tired O. the game I suppose I've r.ayed mere fist class tennis than any other player in the world-and it has become hard wcrk.'
 Crawford's statements have raised the controversial question here as to whether rising young players are now being over-played and turned "sour" on the game before theil time.

same way, according to the critics in Australia.
 The fact that all these players are linked with tennis supply firms and consequently have to play much more than they would pour le sport is cited as the reason for their staleness.
 Tt is lamentable that nearly all Australia's tennis players should be driven to the point of physi- cal and mental exhaustion as soon as they show signs of becoming champions, declares the Melbourne Star in a leading editorial.

No "JOb Hazard"
 for Wolverines
 Coaching Staff

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Feb. H. Win or lose, a coach's job goes on at the University of Michigan in refutation to the popular idea that college coach is on the payroll only so long as his teams win.
 A survey of the IS coaches here shows that as group they have served a total of 159 years at Michigan for an average of 10 years, six months apiece.
 Heading the list is Fielding H. Yost, now Director of Athletics, who has been with the Wolverines 35 years. Waffle Weber, freshman football coach, with five years service is the junior on the roster.
 Harry Kipke, whose football teams haven't been champions of the West for some years now, has held his job eight years and it's good for at least one more. Cappie Cappon has been trying for nine years to win a Big Ten bas- ketball title, and Ray Fisher has been at the helm in baseball IS years.
 Other veterans on the Wolverine coaching staff include Charlie Hoyt, track, B years; Cliff Keen, wres- ting, II years; and Matt Mann, swimming, 12 years.
