Eastern F Fiy e
Scores Over
Woodrow
BY GARRETT WATERS


The intensity of the current in
terhigh series was never more real
lied than today by fans, players
coaches and all others interested
In the games.
For yesterday another impor
tant fact was brought to light by
virtue of Roosevelt Highs "a to
% victory over Central in as thrill
ing a game as will ever be played
during the schedule.
It is the fact the Rough Riders
are now to be figured quite seri'
ously for title honors despite the
fact the series has yet long path
to travel.
The contest was the second On
the doubleheader for the Gay.
Eastern defeated woodrow Wilson
handily in the opener, corquering
by one-sided 40 to IL margin.
Whittle Central Lead
The Riders got started late
again, quite as in the Tech game
earlier in the week. But this time
the boys had enough left to whit.
tie down a 10 to Central lead at
the end of the first quarter to
come within a basket. or 13 to IL,
by the time Official Scorer Bernie
Lieb'S gun sounded for half.
From then on it was a regular
dog fight. A basket ball by Ray
Friedrich brought Coach Herman
Littman's crew up to even terms
with the Centralites, while sue
cessful tosses by Joe Conner and
Bill Fogel matched the scoring eff
forts of Charlie Clark and Bernie
Applebaum, of Central, during the
third quarter, which ended 17-17.
In the fourth period, the ex-
pected break came. Frank Bailey
sank long shot from center
court, which was followed by foul
tosSes from Friedrich and Fogel.
Then the same Bailey swished an
other long one through the rims
and it nullified terrific efforts by
Billy Vermilion and Ralph Ma
terra, the former making good two
shots from the floor, the latter
getting in a foul toss effectively.
Eastern in Lead
Roosevelt has now won one game
and lost one in the series. Central's
record reads the same. Eastern
has two victories as against one
loss, since its one-sided triumph
over woodrow Wilson, 40-12, was
its seond Of the schedule.
That contest, incidentally,
showed the Parkers to their best
advantage of the series. Even
though the opposition was weak,
the team moved the ball better
than in any previous appearance,
and cut and scored with more
Polish.
BY virtue of this triumph, many
Eastern supporters sense another
championship for the team. Such
an event isn't impossible, but as
said before, most anything can
happen this year what with devel-
opments thus far.

Ed Foster Burial
InCherryda|e
Monday

Funeral services for Edward
Cunningham Foster, former WASH
ington baseball player who died
last night in Casualty Hospital as
a result of injuries suffered in an
automobile accident on January Z,
will be held in the Cherrydale Bap-
tiSt Church, Cherrydale, Va, on
Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Although Foster was a native Of
Chicago, he will be laid at rest in
Cherrydale. He was 56 years old.
Friends of his baseball days
were with Foster as his life ebbed
away. President Clark Griffith of
the Washington Baseball Club;
Edward Eynon, secretary Of the
club; Mike Martin, trainer and
close associate Of Foster when the
deceased was an active player in
Washington, gathered silently at
his bed side.
With the stricken mans aSso-
ciates of his athletic days were his
aged mother, who had come here
from Chirago; his widow and his
daughter Betty, who is a student
at George washington University.
Native of Chicago
Although no plans had been
made this morning, it is likely
that Foster will be placed at rest
in Cherrydale, Va, his late home.
He was a native of Chicago.
Maryland police officials first
were of the opinion that Foster
had been the victim of a hit-and-
run driver. AS they reconstructed
the circumstances of the accis
dent they changed their minds.
It is thought now that Foster lost
his way in the dense fog that
settled over the Maryland country
side on the night of January
and the morniny of January Z.
The theory is that Foster plunged
off the road, was hurled out of his
car, and the vehicle plunged down
an embankment and through
sign board adjacent to the high
way.
Foster suffered a fractured
skull, a broken hip, severe lacera-
tions and internal injuries. Due
to the internal injuries, 1t is
thought, organic complications de.
veloped and hastened Fosters
death.
Called For Martin
At intervals throughout his
struggle for life, Foster called for
friends of his baseball days. Late
Thursday night he called several
times for Mike Martin, trainer of
the GriffS. Mike was at his bed
side last night when the end came.
Griffith repeated his former
statements concerning Fosters
greatness as a ball player, and
called him the leading exponent of
the hit-and-run play, a claSsifica-
ton usually reserved for John j.
McGraw and Hughie Jennings,
who first used the play in Balti-
more, with Willie Keeler the base
runner.
Foster generally was acclaimed
as one of the. masters of fielding
slow hit balls with one hand.
He joined the Washington club
in 1912 and played regularly until
replaced by Howard Shanks in
1919.
Foster was a deeply religious
man and after his career as a ball
player ended he was active as an
EVANGELIST.

Series
Dates Shifted

A couple of dates have been
changed in the current interhigh
series, which yesterday gave fans
a few thrills by the Eastern-Wood'
row Wilson and Roosevelt-C Central
games at the Tech gymnasium.
The entire set-up is in connec'
tion with the experimental night
game" scheduled January 70 at
Tech.
Central and Tech were origi'
nally listed to play this contest.
Now Central finds it cannot fill
the date because Of special class
night program.
To fill the gap, also to keep the
same date, Physical Education
Director Bayh has arranged for
Eastern and Tech to meet, jug
Cling a few other games in order
to turn the trick.
AS the schedule now stands
Eastern and Tech will meet in
the night game, January %.
Central will play Tech in an aft
ernoon game at Tech on January
26, which date was originally
set down for the Eastern-Tech
fracas.
Completing the juggling, Wood
row Wilson will play Roosevelt
in an afternoon game at Roose'
velt. This contest was originally
schedule as part Of the expert
mental night test" idea, but was
ruled out when school officials
deemed it best to play only one
night game on January %.
The Tech-Eastern night attrac-
tion will start at 8:15 o'clock. A
junior varsity contest is now be-
ing arranged to open the action
at 7:15, with probably the
woodrow Wilson and Roosevelt
junior teams opposing.
Western defeated st. Johns, %
to "a, at Western, and Friends
whipped st. Alban's, 36 to %, at
Friends in games of yesterday.
Paul He'll, with 10 points;
Georg Dewitt and Gerald Burns,
with 7 points, led the Georgetown
ers over the Johnnies. An early
lead helped Western to its victory.
Neuland, with 8 points, led St.
Johns.
Jimmy Newmyer led Friends
against st. Adams. The little for
ward accounted for II points. Hill
ton, with Is, topped st. Adams.
But his efforts could not stop the
inspired play of Friends.

CONTINUING discussion of
X astronomical matters, we
have the word planet" to de-
scribe a number of star-like men,
bers of our suns far-fiung fam
lily, all travelling in well-defined
orbits about the central luminary
and all shining with reflected
light from it's glowing splendor.
Our word comes directly from
the Latin "planeta" and Greek
"planartia," meaning ITO wan
der" 1t was noted in ancient
times that the majority of the
stars appeared to be fixed;
i. e., there was no apparent
change in their location in the
heavens and in their relative To-
cations from year to year. On
the other hand, few of these
"stars" seemed to move, or wan
der. from month to month and
from year to year; some would
appear as morning stars tnear
the sun at dawn and others as
"evening stars" Others were
majestic in their slow progress
across the heavens.
We know now that none of the
stars is really fixed" or station
ary; all have definite movement
or drift" And we know that
the planets, including the Earth
on which we live, are all integral
parts of the solar system and
their movements are in accord
with the orbit in which they en-
circle the sun.
Few words in common usage
are derived from the word
"planet." However, we have the
very modern term of planetary
gear" used in relation to the
gear-shift of an automobile, in
which one or more gear-wheels
moves around the circumference,
or within the circumference of
another gear-wheel. Another
modern term is "planetarium," a
building in which there is a con-
structed model of the astronomi-
cal system of planets. There Is
occasional use of the word plan
etary" in relation to the move
ment of orbits of the particles or
charges of electricity circulating
within an atom; such particles

Few Words Are Derived From ''Planet"

some of our coast lines.
The Latin stella" gives us a
woman's name and appears in
several technical words to convey
the idea of being "star-shaped"
and the poet refers to the stellar
heavens" in meaning the starry
skies" However, the Greek form
of the word t"aster") gives more
derived words than other Ian
guages. Hence we have the
"aster" as large family of flow
ers in which the opened petals
appear rayed from common

tance in this connection is our
word astronomy" that relates
entirely to study of the stars
and other heavenly bodies. Sim
ilarly, "asteroid" is the name
given the small planets that cir

bits of the major planets and
which have been assumed to be
the wreckage of some planet that
exploded or was torn to bits by
gravitational effect. The name
"asterism" is applied to a cluster
of stars, like the Little Dipper"
or Corona"
"Astrology" comes to us from
"aster" or "astron" (star) and
"logos' "a discourse). While it
has been said that the ancient
study of astrology was the fore
runner of modern astronomy,
there should be no confusion of
the terms. Astronomy is classi-
fed as a. more or less exact"
science and considers the heav-
enly bodies from the standpoint
of their physical properties and
relation to each other Astrology
attempts to associate the per-
sonal affairs and fortunes of
mankind with influences emanat-
ing from these stars and star
groups and, except for interesting
condolences and decidedly in
volved speculative possibilities.

science in any sense of the term.

first two letters-'s -'st"-that are
used in equivalents of the word
in other languages. We might be-
gin with the Latin stella" and
continue through the Swedish
"stjerna";; the Cornish "steren";
Danish "stierne"; Anglo-Saxon
"steorra"; Persian stare; Ice
landic "stiarna" and Gothic
"stairno." The Hindu preserves
a Sanskrit form-"tara" and
from this came the Greek "aster"
that, as we will see, provided
many words in everyday usage.
Naturally enough we use the
word "star" for many purposes
other than the astronomical value.
