liefs and impressions of the 1887
Washington baseball club, and so,
history is in the making thereby.
You see. Oswald came along to
the Washington ball club back
yonder in the year 1922, give and
take, and his two idols on the
local club were Walter johnson
and Sammy Rice. jointly and sew
orally.
Neither Walter nor Sammy, as
you well know, ever had much
to say to anybody except maybe
yep" and nope" and Bluege
quite naturally patterned his per-
sonaI department much after this
pair Of baseball playing mummies.
So Bluege, toe, grew up to be
a sort of sphinx, his words being
few and far between, and none
too much to the point. Most par
ticularly he never said anything
that could possibly bounce back
at him to be eaten alive.
SIouO TO Start
Oh, of course, after you'd known
Bluege seven or eight years, he
would say good morning" and
such small.talk as that, but your
acquaintanceship with him had to
be a ripe old association before
he would much more than pass
the time of day with you and
possibly comment on the weather,
mostly in monosyllables.
But here and now in this
Y.O.O.L. 1887, Bluege has turned
out to be a talkative old fossil,
often hooking up as many as a
dozen words in one sentence to
make continuity, have meaning
and register an impression on his
auditor.
And so I must hasten to get

most of their shots were of the
spectacular variety as the Co

AS a matter OF fact, the score
doesn't give you any idea how
close the game was fought.
The Columbians really battled
throughout and the Sleuths en-
countered lots and lots OF trouble
scoring their points. The ma
jority of the SleuthS' baskets were
chalked up from a distance. Jim
Thompson was high scorer for
the yictors, while Bernie Jones
played his usual fine floor game.

Pre|im Game
For Friday
BY GARRETT WATERS

Only one major game Will take
place Friday night at the Tech
gym when the Eastern and West
ern teams battle for the interhigh
basketball series championship.
This indeed is nothing new in so
far as the Eastern Western con-
tingent is concerned. But to the
interhigh populace as a whole.
there is added significance TO the
matter.
To explain, all week Birch Bayh.
physical education director Of the
schools, has had 1t back in his
mind to have the Tech-RooSeVelt
fiveS play off their third-place tie
as a prelim to Friday nights East
ern-WeStern feature.
Getting the approval of members
of the school board, his only prob
lem was closing the date with the
Tech and Roosevelt teams.
Roosevelt Declines
Tech was eager to play and fully
consented. But Roosevelt turned
a deaf ear yesterday, when &C.

preparations which it desires to
start as soon as possible. The Rid
ers ended their basketball season
with a game against George Wash.

Now the plan is to have two, jun;

If the latter develops it will be
in keeping with Techs idea Of
remaining in uniform a little

eager to compete in some tourna-
ment this year and are hopeful Of
getting invitations to either the
Glenn Falls or Washington and Lee
tests.

son, Tech coach today. "And

Tech ended its interhigh eSched-

enabled the team to end its inter-

with RooF 1t High.
Central Wins
And speaking of the series, the
Central and Woodrow Wilson
fiveS waged their scheduled finale
yesterday at the Tech gym. Cen

before the Wilson's had put up
their most stubborn brand Of bas-

NeW Words, Music
At least his tune is original as
are part of his words. Most of
the critics have been crying about
a catcher and some pitchers, but
Oswald thinks one good catcher
who could handle our pitchers
would answer any weakness in the
hurting department, and that 1t is
the right side of the outfield that
is going to need bolstering.
In so saying, Bluege, on cross
questioning, deposed to the effect
he intended no aSpersions on the
current catcherS or right-field can
didates.
"Why, you old slanderer!" he
was reminded.
Turning red to the roots of his
fielding average, he blushed his
apology.

shifted first to one foot and then

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June s.
A new method OF locating obscure
brain tumors by measuring accurately
the reactions Of the eyes to light was
announced today by DR.. Charles A.
Esberg Of New York City before the
American Neurological Association.
Some tumors OF the brain have been
located by observing the ability OF the

the eye, to react to light, he explained,
but the new method consists OF meas
