Tech, Roosevelt
Seek Triumphs
By GARRETT WATERS

~ NEAASASA L Il w "A \ 6ASkC
A couple more questions will bc
answered today as the current
interhigh basketball series resumes
with games at the Roosevelt anc
Tech gymnasiums.
Roosevelt engages Eastern al
the Roosevelt gym at $3.50. while
Western and Tech meet on the
Tech floor at the same hour.
The Techmen lead the series in
sofar as percentage points go with
one victory as against no losses
Today the team has the oppor
tunity of strengthening its posi-
tion even more against Western
And should the Trainers win, one
of the aforementioned questions
will be answered for fans.
A victory will demonstrate the
Techites are to be figured largely
in this years race. Also it will
tell the story that the Western five
is not so powerful as doped before
the start.
Western Array Good
1t is difficult to conceive, how
ever, how the Georgetowners will
be beaten even against so promis
ing a Tech team. The series hasn't
followed this rule thus far. and
besides, the Moore-coached crew
still packs talent with such per.
formers as He'll, Dewitt, Burns
and Schulz on hand.
The Eastern Roosevelt Setto
should develop into another OF
those thrillers, particularly if the
Riders continue the pace they set
in the Central game last week.
Coach Herman Littman'S charges
had trouble getting started in that
contest, but once in momentum,
they gave Central battle entirely
unexpected.
Ray Friedrich and Frank Bailey
were the big scorers. But Joe Co
mer'S play was the real bright
spot. This lad kept his team in
the going throughout. He didn't
score often, but his efforts in
breaking up Central plays, and
getting the ball off the blackboard
when Central resorted to long-dis-
tance shooting, were enough to
give him several medals.
Triumph Would Help
A Roosevelt victory will answer
the second question on the docket
today. For such an event will def
initely stamp the Riders as title
Understanding the team has
seldom experienced in. seasons Of
the past.
Getting the right combination
and getting it to click will be East
ern's hopes today. Coach Mike
Kelley believes he hit upon the
Notwithstanding lineup in the
woodrow Wilson clash last week.
Then, Lombardi and Cotton played
forwards, QuantriIle jumped cen
ter, and LuSby and Colley held
down the back court.
He plans starting this array to-
day in the hopes it will give Roose-
velt all the trouble it can generate.

Statistics ) ho W
6. W. S Success

One need only glance at the
statistics to find one of the chief
causes of George Washington Uni
versity's success on the basketball
court this winter. The Colonial
cagers, who have won their first
seven games and who face their
two hardest tests Friday and Sat
urday in meeting Villanova and
Long Island on foreign floors, have
been sinking field goals at rate
Of nearly four out OF ten.
Exceeding what is considered
the normal college percentage of
successful shots by nine points,
George WaShington'S 13-man squad
has sunk 131 out of $40 shots at
the hoop for a successful percent
age of .39, and in foul shooting the
Colonials again show above-par
form with 68 Gagged in 109 at
temps for mark of 80.
The opposition, meanwhile, has,
as a whole, fallen far short of G.
WIS accuracy both from the field
and the foul line. With st. Johns S
of Brooklyn. Nebraska and Wake
Forest included, the seven op
ponentS have Gagged but 19 per
cent of their floor shots and Sc
per cent of their free throws. st.
Johns, for instance, has succeeded
with only 20 per cent of its at.
temptS for two-pointerS. Wake
Forest, conquerer of North Caro-
lima u, batted but .225 from the
floor while George Washington
was pouring 'em in at 400 clip

the list in effectiveness with a

Sexton Burial
Thursday

ROCK ISLAND, ILL.,, Jan. 10.
Funeral service will be held here
Thursday for Michael H. Sexton,
former president of the National
Association of Professional Base
ball Leagues. He died Of a heart
attack in his home here yesterday.
He was IA years old.
Active in baseball for nearly 40
years, Sexton pioneered the move
ment which resulted in the forma-
ton of the national association,
the organization under which all
minor leagues operate. The or
ganization followed the American
Leagues expansion into a major
circuit and the resultant war be-
tween the American and National
Leagues. With minor league play
ers jumping contracts and literally
writing their own baseball law,
Sexton urged the small leagues to
organize to protect their rights.
He served as president of the or
ganization from 1908 to 1888 then
he was retired on pension.
