ing victory with a season indi-
vidual set mark of 416, while Gene
Barrows supplied a real wallop
with a single effort of 1853. The
News had little chance against
scores of 624, 605 and 573.
Arville Ebersole's Tribby Real

Godoy Routs Jnx
Beats sJaCk Roper

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Arturo
Godoy, heavyweight champion Of
South America, has the jinx un-
der lock and key today.
The hoodoo which has beset
this capable young man since he
arrived here from Chilli was put
away and so was Jack Roper, Cali
fornia fighter.
The Latin, who is the dead spit
Of Make Bear in looks, battered
Roper so fiercely that Joe Vac
carelli, the referee, stopped the
bout in lao of the seventh in a
bout scheduled to go ten.
Roper took a fearful battering
without showing any inclination
to fight back.
Louis Bouey, Godoy's manager
since he took him out of the
Chilean army seven years ago,
died at his home here of bronchial
pneumonia fifteen minutes after
the fight.

Eagle Quint

The Johnnies of st. Johns of
Annapolis today are back in Crab
town with a 1870 win over
American University to their
credit.
The Eagles didn't fly so high
against the boys from Annapolis,
after the second half of the game
got under way, although American
U. was on top at half time, 20 to
10.
Before American U. got over the
surprise of being in the lead, the
Johnnies had tied the game at
24-24 with II minutes of the
contest yet to be played. After
the game was at deadlock three
times, the visiting five began to
go to town and five straight field
goals furnished the margin of vic

PLAY YEAR AROUND
''In the last few years, for in.
stance the only fellows with
real talent to come up have been
Don Bulge, Bobby Riggs, and
Joe Hunt, and they're all from
California. The reason? Be-
cause out there the boys have

plenty Of tournament cOmpeti-
tiOn in which they get a chance
to develop. You can't change
the weather, but a tournament
Of the kind I've described will
give young players elsewhere at
least part of the opportunity Cal
ifOrnians have"
AS to his own game, Vines said
he is feeling fit and declared:
"IIl get Perry within the next
two matches"
Suffering from flu and ton
silitis, Vines lost three straight
matches to the Briton. Vines
added:
"I'd hit the ball with all my
might, but it would just plOp
over the net. I'd see the ball
coming, but simply couldn't set
to it. It's going to be different
the rest of the way"
Furthermore:
Ellsworth would have won all
three of them so far if he had
been feeling right" Mrs. Vines
declared.

George Washington University
and University of Maryland today
are celebrating basketball victories
scored last night.
G. w. won over Wake Forest,
55-33, and Maryland conquered
Western Maryland, 48-36. Both
games ran true to form since G. w.
and Maryland both were pre-game
favoriteS.
The Colonial win over the
Demon DeaconS was G. WIS sew
enth straight this season. The
ColonialS are undefeated.
Numerous Fouls
One of the features of the G. W..
Wake Forest tilt was the unusual
number of fouls committed. The
Deacons erred so many times that
G. w. managed 19 points from
the foul line, while the Colonials
themselves so far forgot them
selves that Wake Forest scored II
points on free throws.
Goldfaddep and Kiesel, of G. W.,
and Waller, of Wake Forest,
topped the scorers, the first
named with IL points, and the
other two with 10 points each.
In the preliminary game, G..
WIS Frosh won over Johnny Fen
Ions Fredericksburg High quint,
35 to 10.
Benjamin Scores
Stanley Benjamin, Western
Maryland's great player, kept
Maryland from running riot on
the visiting Terrors, Benjamin
scored nine field goals for a total
of 18 points and stood out head
and shoulders over any player on
the floor.
Eddie johnson and AL Waters

Before last nights matches
Washington was leading the race
by a slight margin, but was forced
to relinquish its lofty position
when Lucky Strike handed it a
triple licking. The Lucky Strikers
established new season record OF

son, one of the leading duckpin-
ners in the country and captain
of Rose, toppled the pins for 389.
Lucky Strike not only gained
satisfaction by knocking WISH!
ington out of first place, but
gained considerable ground,
jumping from fifth place into
tie with Occidental for second.
Occidental dropped two games
to the Sixth-place Convention Hall
team. Glen Smiths 889 and
Eddie Espey's 146 stood out for
the winners.
