Approximately 5000 fans we're on
hand as the Washington-Acton fray
began.

Ohio State WithdraWs as
Teams Prepare for
Games Here.

The Fifth District Olympic bas-
ketball tournament, arrangements
for which have caused a stormy
series of reversals, alterations and
disappointments, has been trans
ferred to Chicago.
Originally billed at the Butler
University fieldhouse March IL, 13,
IA, the final eliminations were shift
ed to the International Amphi-
theater in the Windy City last night.

will compete in the district meet in
Chicago.
Ohio State University late yester-
day announced its decision to pull
out of the competition. The Buck
eye school was the fourth of six in
vited teams to withdraw. Ohio's re-
lection Debated the district meet of
all major teams. Notre Dame, Hi
nois and Indiana previously had al
tered decisions to compete, and Pur-
due did not enter.
Northwestern and De Paul of Chi
cago alone remain, and will be on
the program, with the four survivors
of the pre-district meet. Two others

The converted center Che started
the season has a guarO rang UP six
field goals, most of them resulting
from nicely executed follow-in
boosts. Jack added free toss to
take individual scoring honors Of
the tilt with 13 points.
Scoring responsibilities we're
pretty well shared by Bob Glad
den's Centralites. Park, who did
himself proud at center, got eight
points, and Gibson, lanky forward,
collected seven.
Ripple and Lawrence had quite
a time of it before the Rockets fin
ally spurted ahead in the final
quarter. The suburban cagers
played rugged bail in the first
three periods and were out in front
going into the last chukker, 81 to
20. Apple inaugurated the fourth
quarter with long field goal and
the Lawrencers, led, % to 20.
With that toss the prosperity of it
all overcame them, however, and
they couldn't get back to earth,
while the Rockets handled coolly
the matter of forging ahead to
victory.
The opening tussle of the session
was close all the way. Oaklandon
was ahead at the end of the first
period, to 4, and at the half, IL
to 6. K. Fults dropped in two bas-
ketS and Needler one as the New
Augustus moved into the lead dur
ing the third stanza, IA to 13.
Scoring in the final quarter was
confined to the charity line, with
the winners "outfighting" the Oaks,
4 to 3, to annex the 1916 verdict.

AUTO RAILERS
PUT IN USE

ROSSLYN, Va, Dec. g. The
Arlington Fairfax Railway Com
pany today put into service IA
new auto-railers on its two lines
between. Rosslyn and Fairfax and
RosSlyn and Green Valley.
With the units ranging in seat
ing capacity from 20 to 27, the
new equipment is now carrying
virtually all of the passenger traf-
fic. While few of the older type
electric cars are still being used in
the service, they are expected to
be replaced with the newer type
at a later date.
The new motor-driven coaches
operate on either rail or road and
have replaced the old electrical
cars. Flanged pilot wheels hold
the coach's rubber tires in position
on the tracks and the auto-railer
may be converted into a highway
bus at any grade crossing.
Efforts of the company to eX-
tend it's line into downtown Wash
ington, which would be done by
leaving the rails at Rosslyn and
entering. Washington over Key
Bridge, are being made by the
company in an application to the

Says:

Say! It looks as though F, D.
r. is getting back from South
America just in time, from the
way those 175,OOO relief work
erS, who are to be dropped from
the WPA rolls on December Is,
threaten to march on Washing
ton. Seems as If no matter how
much a WPA worker uses his
shovel, he always ends up in the
hole.
OF course, December Is Is an
awful time for anybody to lose a
job At that season of the
year only Santa Claus should
be left holding the bag.
Oh well, from the way I look
at it, If the workers do descend
on the Capital, the Government
will have nobody but itself to
blame Take away their
shOvels, and they're bound to
find something else to hold on
to, if only picket signs.
p. S.-YOu know, those relief
boys most likely would have lost
their jobs the day after election,
except for one thing Some
body had to rake up all those
straw votes.
