CRANE LOSES IN
TITLE CUE PLAY

NEW YORK, Dec. 1e d.N.s).
Ralph Greenleaf, world pocket
billiard champion 16 times, i'm
proves with age.
Irving Crane, Of Livonia, N. Y,
meeting Greenleaf here in a
1,500-point match for the title,
learned that to his sorrow today
as he found himself trailing the
champion, 1875 to /. at the end Of
the first block.
Greenleaf, after Crane had
broken, put together a run Of SO
in his first try and when Crane
missed on his second shot, went
out with an unfinished run Of Ct.
The champion thus set a world
record for challenge play by going
out in two innings and tied the
same record for tournament play,
which he holds jointly with
George Kelly.

ROWINGCOACHES
READY TO VOTE

NEW YORK, Dec. 16 Q.N.S0
Recommendation Of the rowing
coaches organization of America
that the distance Of the intercol-
legiate regatta at Poughkeepsie be
shortened from four to three
miles, was to be passed on today
to the various chairmen Of ath-
letics for approval.
The coaches who adopted the
resolution at their annual meet
ing here all were from the East.
Rowing authorities at Washing.
ton and California, who have
maintained recent supremacy at
the annual classic, can be expected
to oppose the proposed change
Strenuously.
The greater stamina of the
oarsmen from the West Coast al.
ways has made itself felt in that
long, last mile, when most Of the
Eastern crewSmen crack under the
gruelling pace.
Western crews also have been
better suited to the longer distance
because of their longer training
periods,
However, Jim Ten Eyck, vet.
eran Syracuse coach and presi'
dent of the organization, declared
the primary purpose Of the pro
posed change was to get Pennsyl
vania back into the race. He said
Penn dropped out Of the com
petition because of its inability
through Jack Of facilities, to train
men for the four-mile course.

Maryland's basketball team to-
night will be thoroughly tested by
the Richmond Spiders. The team
is led by Pete Jacobs, the best
guard in this section and in the
State of Virginia as well. The
Spiders again have a powerful
unit, with the same bunch on
hand that licked the Terps in an
overtim argument last year,
40.31.
Richmond won its opening
game of the season late last week
in impressive fashion, trouncing
Randolph-Macon.
Tomorrow night the Terps must
come right back and take on the
University of Michigan dribblers
at College Park in one of the pre-
holiday season features that looms
as sellout.

In Michigan, which will be met
tomorrow night, the caliber Of the
opposition is much tougher. The
invading wolverines have a great
star in Jack ToWnsen, who plays
either a forward or center berth,
and is said to be one of the great
est dribblers in the history of the
Ann Arbor institution.
ToWnsen stands 6 feet inches,
scales around 200 pounds, and has
been All-Big Ten selection for the

He has plenty of fine support

TERRORS STRONG
Georgetown, which figures to
stage a string of surprising capers
in the Eastern Conference this
year, has keen opposition in the
Green Terror outfit to tune up the
works. Western Maryland, coached
by Bruce Ferguson, has a scrappy
outfit but not in the same class
as the Hoyas.

However, there Is plenty Of

Coach Freddy Mesmer will
probably start Capt. Mike Petros-
key at center, Harry Bassia and
Joe Murphy or Ed Kurtyka at
forward, and Tommy Nolan and
John Schmidt, a sophomore, at

.L|TTMAN WORKS
HARD TO BUILD
RIDER COURTMEN
BY GARRETT WATERS


Sports at Roosevelt High School
always take a jump in interest
when the basketball season rolls
around.
The reason, definitely, is the
manner in which Herman Littman,
coach, handles the game at the
Upper Thirteenth Street institu-
ton.
Holman" is the busiest man in
town when it comes to basketball.
He works with the varsity, takes
time to look oVe~ the junior var
sity, and still has enough energy
left to keep an eye peeled on all
intra-rnural games, of which there
are Plenty.
Out of the confusion, for it is
UGH at times, Roosevelt usually
produces capable basketball teams.
Last year the boys fought it out
tooth and nail with Ea~+ern and
Central for the championship.
They lost in the final days of the
season, but the others knew they'd
been in a battle when they met
Roosevelt.
HAS HANDS FULL
This season, Littman again has
his hands full. But he's liable to
put another surprising team on
the floor-one that could give the
same sort of battle that was the
fortune Of the 1867 entry.
Five performers who were sec.
ond-stringers last year are around
as the nucleus. They are Eddie
Gerstenfeld and Doyle Royal, for.
wards; Willie Love and John
Miller, centers, and Sylvan Stein,
guard.
Fifty-five others are out to GUST
these youngsters. Lttman plans
cutting this number to about 80
within the next week in order to
give a better uncover for ma.
terial.
FUTURE STARS
He's been able to scan a few
even this early, however, who may
develop into future stars. They
include George West, Harold
KATE, Roy Mcneil, George zuras
Harry Treganowan, the Robert
son twins, Billy and Jim, Dick
Metzler, Harry Freund, Dave Kay
Eric Moore and Billy Richardson
Roosevelt played its first game
yesterday against Hyattsville
High. Littman got fair line or
the boys he used, but plans re
serving comment until more con
tests have been played.
Tomorrow, Mt. Rainier will be
met at Roosevelt at $3.50 p. m
Richard Montgomery High il
slated next Monday while a game
against the alumni, December q
completes the December schedule
Tits alumni game, incidentally
is part Of an alumni night pro

notable basketers Of Roosevelt
will appear for the alumni in

Lucas, Francis Beamer, the Coax
ley brothers, Francis and George
Huck Cavanaugh. Joe Conner, Bob

The Riders defeated HyattSville
yesterday by a 30-to-26 score
Stein and Zuras paced the scorers
with 8 and S points each.
Central lost to Briarly Hall, Is
to IS at Central, and Georgetown
Prep bowed to Bethesda Chevy

REINDEER DRIVE ENDSFAMINE AT
 BARTER ISLAND
Herd Makes Long Trek With Loss of Only l7-
 Trapping Very Bad

Reporting the almost phenomenal achievement of driving a herd Of 5000 reindeer from Point Barrow to Barter Island along the Arctic Coast. with the loss of only seven teen animals. Charles Hawkesworth, assistant director of the Bureau of Education of the Bureau of Indian Affairs here, late yesterday after noon received a radio message from Frank Daugherty, Indian Bureau teacher at Barrow.
 In his radio, MT. Daugherty stat ed that the drivers of the herd had returned to Barrow late Tuesday, after successfully delivering the last of the reindeer drive at Barter 1s- lard early this month.
 The drivers reported the natives along the coast east of Barrow in dire straits, with no fur taken, but a few seal killed, and the caribou meat supplies exhausted. The Arctic natives were also without ammuni- ton or dogs, but the deer drive reached them in time to avert seri- ous starvation.
 The drivers also reported that Trader Gordon, at Barter Island, has suffered second heart stroke, and his son came to meet them at Bronlow Point, to receive food they had brought.
 MT. Daugherty further declared in his advice to the Indian Bureau here that the entire fox catch at Barrow to date is less than one hun dred skins. and that conditions to the east of Barrow are worse.
 MT. Daugherty had great praise of the deer herders for the manner
