Catholic University's boxing
team tomorrow night starts a
heavy schedule for the season by
taking on strong North Carolina
State.
The Cards are confident of win
ming this year. Last season, the
Wolfpack nipped the Cards, to
3. Unlike last season, however,
when they had only three days of
preparation for the Wolfpack,
this year the Cards have been
hard at training for a period Of
two weeks.
Fred Rogers, C. us newly
elected captain, probably will
draw the heavyweight assignment
against North Carolina State.
Rogers, who recently legally
changed his name from Rydzew-
ski, has been a football and ring
star for the Cardinals. He is a
junior and entered C. U. from
Jersey City, N. J. In the ring he
has been undefeated in two years
Of varsity boxing. He scored the
winning touchdown in the orange
Bowl gridiron game of 1885
against University of Mississippi.

The late Professor Mike Don

Roosevelt and other famous men,
kept his coal bills at a minimum
by stoking the furnace at his
home with boxing gloves smuggled
into the house by his sons.
The Old Professor, like many
another father, didn't want to
have his offspring follow in his
footsteps, even though he had had
a most honorable and successful
career at his profession. But in
spite of his ban, and without his
help, the Donovan lads all became
clever boxers, more devoted to
the sport, if possible, than their
illuStrious sire.

Foster Condition
Reported Fair

Eddie Foster, former great third
baseman of the Washington base
ball team, was reported only in
fair condition, by officials Of
Casualty Hospital this morning.
He had not gained consciousness.
Foster was found lying by the
side of rain-soaked Baltimore
Boulevard early yesterday morn
ing. Some mystery is attached to
the accident, if accident it was,
which sent Foster to the hospital.
Prince Georges County police
think that Foster was the victim
of a hit-and-run driver after he
had crashed through a billboard
near Beltsville about 20 yards from
the road.
Betty Foster, one Of Fosters

George Washington University
and Catholic University were re-
turned winners and Georgetown
and American University losers in
last nights basketball games in
vclving local quintS.
G. w. ran rough shod over Mt.
st. Mary's, 81 to Is; C. U. won
over an alumni team, 1887;
Georgetown went down before
West Virginia, 41-32, and Amer
ican U. lost to Bridgewater, 31-19.
Mt. st. Mary's, expected to test
the Colonials, was so weak that
at the end of 18 minutes of play
G w. was in front 81 to o. After
that, Coach Bill Reinhart, Of G.
W., shifted his team around and
used IL men against the Mounts.
The ColonialS are undefeated to
dste.
GOldfaden Scores
Ben Goldfaden and Milton
Schonfeld topped the scorers with
II and 10 points respectively.
C. us Cardinals were hard
pressed to win over the alumni
quint. The old grads were booked
as a breather before c. us hard
game against Duquesne but proved
very much otherwise. Bernie Lieb
ano Tom Whelan were outstand-
ing for the alumni. Carroll
topped the C. U. scorers with eight
points.
Georgetown's second defeat in
two nights came as a shock to
Hoya supporters. A night before
last, G. U. was trounced by Car
negie Tech.
Led at Half
In last nights game, George
town went to the front by half
time, 81 to 16, and. seemed in a
fair way of routing the Noun
taineerS. -
The Hoyas, however, seemed to
go to pieces in the second half
while West Virginia came strong.
Before Georgetown hardly knew
! it, the Mountaineers had scored
IL points and jumped into the
lead. Harassed Georgetown fought
desperately but to no avail. The
West Virginia defense failed to
crack and the Hoyas were stopped
cold as they threatened.
Through the first half of their
game against Bridgewater, Ameri-
can University's Eagles played
strongly. In the second half, how
ever, the Bridgewater team came
with a rush and moved into COM
manding lead never to be headed.
The score at halftime was IL to 8
in favor of BridgeWater.

Attack on
Schnne|ing
BY DAVIS J. WALSH
Copyright. 1897. by International
News Seryicel

NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-The Brad
dock -Schmeling world champion
ship meeting, the "Finnegan" Of
the fight business, was very close
to being "off again this morning
with the disclosure from two
sources, equally unimpeachable,
that conditions were taking shape
whereby Braddock will find it
untenable to remain a party to
the contract.
Briefly, the nonsectarian Anti
Nazi League, of which Samuel
Untermyer, the corporation attor-
ney, is president, is on the point
of introducing a boycott against
Schmeling that will make all
others seem pale and pointless by
contrast. And my information is
that when the boycott officially
goes in, Braddock officially goes
out. He will declare. with a. GER
tain degree of logic, that there'S:i5
equity in a contract that calls
upon him to fight Is rounds for
4212 per cent of a deficit.
Looked into Status
The fight, as signed for before
the boxing commission here last
month, was supposed to have been
definitely and finally set for June
3, next, in New York, where the
anti-Nazi feeling is still keen
enough to have brought about pro
nounced activity by influential
members Of the non-sectarian
league since the Schmeling Brad
dock fight first was suggested
last summer. Schmeling's status
in Germany has been looked into,
with the result that he is said to
rate exhibit-A in the gallery OF
Germany's show-window display.
The league claims, too, that
Schmeling plans to win the title,
take it back to Germany as a
keepsake and never again return.
It, therefore, is more than merely
determined that SGhmeling shall
make no money out Of this fight;
it is determined that it must not
take place and, in this, it has a
not unexpected ally in Braddock.
In this connection, it may be
added that various parties associ-
ated with the proposed fight have
been investigated" including
Braddock and his Jewish manager,
Joe Gould. There also was some
thing of hint that pressure had
been applied in this direction, but
it was more or less needless.
Faces Serious Situation
Braddock and Gould have made
positively no money in a most
alarming manner since coming
into the championship almost two
years ago and, when they do go
out there to defend, they are Of
no mind to compete with q boy
colt.
Thus Schmeling, who lost his
chance last September when Brad
dock is said to have contracted
arthritiS in his hand and who
only recently came all the way to
America to keep Joe Lou1s-hls
victim by a knockout - from
muscling in on his territory, once
more faces a serious situation,
just when he thought that he had
everything solved. After all, there
can be no way of making Brad
dock fight if the boycott goes in
and they tell me it positively will.
The man is most reasonable
about it. He has $4,000 up there
as a forfeit. But he would rather
lose that than take a chance, on
losing his title and his purse at
one and the same time.

FOUL PLAY DOUBTED
IN RAILROAD DEATH

Police said today they had virtually
eliminated the possibility of foul play
IN the death Of J. Bruce Hamilton, 80
whose mang1ed body was found early
yesterday beside the railroad tuacks
about half a mile out of Union
Station.
The absence Of money or papers Of
identification in the mans clothing
was seen yesterday as a possible indi-
cation he had been assaulted and
robbed. However, on investigat ton,
which included questioning of sew
eral OF Hamilton's friends, led them
to believe the death was either acci-
dental or suicide. Friends of Hamil-
ton said he had last lived at roomine
house in the 300 block of E street,
Police said Hamilton, formerly clerk
in haberdashery here, had been out
OF work for some time and that he
borrowed 81 from a girl friend Wed.
nesday night. He told her at the time
he was respondent, police said.
Hamilton's body was found about
Sis am. by Park W. Trotter, an as
sistant yardmaster. He was dressed
IN well-tailored clothes, bearing the
labels Of Washington mems wear
store, by means of which his identity
was traced
Hamilton's father, w. Bruce Hamil-
ton, was located last night in Lincoln,
Nebr, but police said no arrangements
have been made for disposition of the
body.
Besides his father, Hamilton is sur
vived by a brother and sister in Lin
coin. He left there about eight years
ago,
