Contests on
Schedule
BY GARRETT WATERS


A tough basketball schedule Is
Just the thing to help pep up the
game, says Ed Hargaden, floor
mentor at Georgetown Prep.
And it's exactly the program IN
store for the Little Hoya five this
season-or as soon as the boys get
back in harness from their Christ
mas vacation period which
ends this week.
"YOu feel more like playing
tip-tOp basketball when facing
tough opposition" says Harga-
den. "And even though you
might lose, look at the great ex-
perience such games supply"
Following out the idea, Harga-
den has lined up several unusually
strong foes for the Little Hoyas.
New York Foes
Teams Of the caliber Of Brook.
lyn Prep and Loyola Prep, Of the
Ne.y York district; st. Peters High,
of New Jersey, and Benedictine.
of Richmond, Va, are on the
schedule. Then, Of course, are
contests against Central and West
ern, Of the local high school group.
Hargaden believes his team will
round out and play competent
brand of basketball within the
next few weeks. Six men have
shown to splendid advantage thus
far and need only the action and
experience that games will bring.
Bill Byrd and Bob O'Shaughn'
essy are the forwards of this group.
Tom Nurre and Jim Murray hold
down back court, while Ken Cum
mings and John Kelly divide the
tap-off position.
Byrd, O'Shaughnessy and Cum
nings were regulars from the 1885
80 team while Nurre and Murray
were reserves.
Kelly Is Newcomer
Kelly is a newcomer-hailing
from Connecticut. Hargaden sees
a bright future for the lad, al
though right now he's still q little
green and unpublished.
Hargaden is developing three
other teams besides the varsity.
They are the Midgets, Junior
Varsity and class team. All three
will send players to the varsity in
future seasons, meaning that the
mentor will always have a nucleus
of some sort when graduationS
take veterans away from him.
The varsity plays its first game
of the new year next Tuesday. St.
Adams will be the foe at George
town Prep. Other games next
week list Gonzaga at the Prep,
January IA, and Gilman, Of Balti-
more, at the Prep, on January 16.

Kirk Miller
Says:

(COnt. from First Sports Page)
all fancy or freak stuff junked.
Thus the first meet Saturday
against Western Maryland this
weekend will be basic boxing, in
sofar as Maryland is concerned.
For instance, 115-pound Ed
Shegogue, strictly fast but light
hitting boxer Of last year, has
been converted into a hard, true
puncher, hurting boys heavier
than himself. Red Dorr, Of the
same weight, will be doing the
likewise, it is expected, with q bit
more seasoning.
Similarly, in practices this week,
Tom Birmingham, who Shone in
the 125-pound class a year ago,
is found fighting erect and step
ping inside of swings with vicious
left and right-hand hooks.
Another lad who Is betting out
Of all proportion to his weight is
Benny Alperstein. This Southpaw
freshman of a year ago is throw
ing his punches so hard he may
give away weight, going into the
135-pound group to do his fight
ing.
Among the welters, Ivan Ne
domatSky is rounding-to in ex-
cellent form. He has also short
ened UP his hitting, getting
harder, cleaner effects.
The same is true of Mike Lom-
bardo, fighting at 155. Both Of
these boys fought larger foes last
year, but this year will function
at their best weight.
Shore Boy Works Good
Another 155 FOUNDER who is
showing promise, but who isn't
quite yet ready for varsity COM
petition, is Johnny Yates, the
Eastern Shores gift to Maryland.
This lanky youngster has had TO
take it easy, owing to an ankle
injury his first few days in
training, but will soon turn on the
steam.
Maryland may have a surprise
package for her foes in the middle
weight bracket. Aleck Males, Of
Bradford, Pa, has come back from
the Christmas holidays an i'm
proved hitter, if his showing in
this weeks practices is an accu-
rate barometer.
At home, during the previous
two weeks, Aleck developed an i'm
proved sock which he had already
started to reveal three weeks ago
before the adjournment Of classes.
Males rapid advancement has
put Bob Walton, the football
player, on his toes to get the call
in middleweight competition.
Gormley and Smith, light
heavyweightS, have had to forego
workouts until football injuries
are overcome, and in the mean
while Jacques. a Hagerstown lad,
will carry much of that burden for
the Terps.
Ed Egnall at the moment ap-
pears to be Maryland's best heavy
weight. For a 220-pounder. he is
showing fast, Shifty footwork. and
like so many other Old Line mitt-
men, is improving his punch un-
der the constant guidance of both
Miller and his assistant, Dyman
McAboy.
Egnall has been tagged by his
instructors as having a future" Z"
but later on when Turk Birkland,
who got late start, rounds-to, he
will have stiff competition as
Maryland's No. / heavyweight.

Gehrig Demands
Increase In
Salary
BY LAWTON CARVER

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-You
can add to the list of New York
Yankee holdouts beside the names
of Outfielders George Selkirk and
Jake Powell, Captain and First
Baseman Henry Louis Gehrig, the
home-run champion of the major
leagues last season.
Personally, Mr.. Gehrig would
rather that the whole thing be
forgotten for the time being, and
at any moment he and Col. Jacob
Rupert, the Yankee owner, may
be posed together by the photog-
raphers going through the ritual
of signing each other up for an
other year.
Come to Terms
In that case they will have come
together on terms, but the iron
horse of the Yankees timidly is
baking at present, according to
good authority.
Always playing every peg safe,
Mr.. Gehrig himself had this to
say today in answer to a question
as to whether he was holding out :
I'm nOncOmmital."
He then confessed that he had
received his contract.
He was also "noncommital" on
whether or not it suited him.
He explained at some length that
the Yankee cl b would give out
the proper information at the
proper time, and begged to be ex
cuSed.
Still, you can put two and two
together if you are of a mind to-
approximately as follows:
His Qualifications
He is the best first baseman in
baseball today; one of the great
sluggers and hitters of all time
in the midst of an iron man streak
that has broken all consecutive
game records, and the Yankees
won the world championship last
season.
On top of that, according to re-
ports, the Yankees still offered
him scarcely more than the $751;,
900 he has received in the last two
seasons when tl-- Yankees were
finishing second in the American
League.
1t may be that Gehrig is travel
ing the wrong route. It will be re.
called that his erstwhile team
mate and idol, Babe Ruth, got a
lot more mileage out of much less
gas.

Navy Bdsketers
Play 7 Games
This Week

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. 25-Not only
will two sports be added to the
winter program of the Navy
during the present week, but
basketball will go we'll by its
middle point, with nine games
played and only five ahead.
Virginia Poly on Wednesday
and Swarthmore on Saturday, is
the card for the basketball team
during the coming week. With
marked improvement of the team
against Virginia last Thursday,
Navy people are hopeful that the
team has passed its turning point
and can be relied upon to show
steady improvement during the
balance of the season.
Forwards Improved
Bob Ruge and Alan McFar-
land, the regular forwards, i'm
proved greatly in their shooting
in the Virginia game, and Frank
Shamer, guard, has played a
steady game all season. Frank
Lynch, center, and Bill Ingram,
guard, are still weak in their
shooting, though playing excellent
aIl-around floor games.
A real test is expected when
Maryland comes here on Febru-
ary for the first game of next
month and the Navy team takes
it's only trip on the sixth, meeting
Columbia in New York city.
Boxing and fencing are the new
sports on the program, the Navy
meeting Western Maryland on the
evening of Saturday, and the
fencers crossing blades with st.
Johns, of Brooklyn, in the after
noon.
Webb Starts Eighteenth Season
The tryouts of the boxers were
completed last week, and Spike
Webb, coaching for his eighteenth
season, believes that the team is
considerably stronger than last
year, due to the improvement of
last years men and the unexpect-
edly good showing of recruits from
the plebe team of last year.
The second match of the Navy
wrestlers will be on Saturday
against the University of North
Carolina, and the water-polo team
has a match with Central Queens
Y. M. C. A., of New York city.
Marty Karow's plebes have their
second game of basketball against
Eastern High, of Washington.

For Tilt With
ST. John S

Three important high and prep
school basketball games are on tap
this week.
In the star attraction, Tech and
Central clash tomorrow, starting at
$3.50 p. M, in an inter-high game
at Tech.
In another battle Of the wild and
woolly inter-h1gh series, Roosevelt
tackles Western, at Roosevelt, also
at $3.50 p. m.
The prep tilt brings together un-
defeated GonZana and st. Johns,
bitter rivals. This game will be
played Friday night, in Catholic
UniVerSity'S gym.
Central Can Tie
It Is said by close followers OF
high-School basketball that any
thing can happen in the Tech
Central game. Tech will be fight
ing to stay in the series, as the
Techites have lost two games to
date. Central, with only one de-
feat chalked up against it, can
tie Eastern at the turn If it wins
over Tech and goes undefeated
until the next Central-EaStern
game.
Roosevelt, like Tech, must
triumph over Western if the
Rough Riders are to stay in the
running. Western, like Central,
must win to be in a position to
tie Eastern at the halfway mark.
Big Prep Game
The Gonzaga-St. Johns game is
hailed as one Of the prize .attrac-
tions of the prep-school season
st. Johns, defending champion,
defeated Georgetown Prep in the
first league game. The st. Johns
game will be GonZaga's first start
Of the league season.

ern in two games and dropped
one-point decisions to Tech and

Out of IA games played to date,
Heurich'S soccer team has won 10,
lost one and tied three, thus CIV
ing the Brewers first place in the
league standing today.
In second place is the Sun Ra-
dio team, with eight wins and one
loss in 10 starts.
Two games were played yester-
day, despite the weather, Heu-
rich'S and Marlboro playing to O
"A tie and Silver Spring winning
over the Democrats, Al. Other
games were postponed because of
the weather.
In the Heurich's-Marlboro game,
1t seemed that the Brewers were
the better team, by reason of SUI
perior passing and shooting, but
the beer team seemed to be un-
lucky.
In the Shady Oak game, Silver
Spring was too strong for the visit
ing aggregation.
