Northwdy Stable
Ban Lifted

TANFORAN, Cal, March 9.
The ban on the Northway Stable
of Norman w. Church was lifted
today at Tanforan before it be-
came effective.
A few days ago, John w. March
bank declared that Church's rae
ing string would not be given stable
room at his track because Church
criticized the California r racin 6
commission and Santa Anita Off
cials following an investigation of
doping" of Proclivity, a Northway
entry, at the Southern California
track.
The investigation showed the
doping" charges were groundless.
Although Church and his trainer,
E. L. woody" Fitzgerad were
given a clean slate, Church was
indignant at the manner in which
the probe was conducted and
said so.
Siding with the commission,
Marchbank issued a statement
that Church's stable was not vel
come at Tanforan but a revised
statement today said stable space
for 13 horses had been allocated to
Church.
Proclivity will be among the
Church horses to be quartered at
Tanforan.

success the MidShipmen have won
in that sport and also the some

college in the East where the game
is played. However, it is popular
among clubs and Y. M. C. AS.
Princeton Former Leader
For many years Princeton led
the way in water polo, with Yale
at times contesting its leadership.
Then the Navy, coached by Frank
Foster, a former top sergeant Of
Marines, came to the front and
has taken first honors six times
in the last nine years. Columbia
has led twice in that period and
Pennsylvania once.
Both Princeton and Yale gave
up the sport some years ago and
Columbia dropped out this season,
though it is hoped here that it will
resume later. Several other col.
leges, it is understood, are consid.
ering the matter.
Fine Sport
At the Naval Academy the sport
is considered a fine and virile one,
and the officials would hate to
give it up. Also, the authorities Of
Pennsylvania and Rutgers are
known to hold it in high estima-
ton. It is admitted, however, that
its situation is critical.
Coach Foster pointed out the
value of the sport in the way that
it taught the players to handle
themselves in the water. In this
particular, it apepars to be Of
much more value than the swim.

that water polo attracts a consid-

boys, Injured to the Tropics, will

where they will have to accustom
themselves to a less balmy cline
for 10 days before embarking on a
two weeks transforming trip that
will take them through every ex-
treme Of climate the temperate
zone offers. If they stand up un-
der this stiff program, the pennant
race should be an anti.climax to
be taken in stride.
Financial reasons lie behind this
unprecedented trip. The Cuban
part of the program was under
taken solely because of the attrac-
tive financial offer Brewer Herrera,
the millionaire patriot, made to
lure the club here. It remains to
be seen whether the Giants were
penny wise and pound foolish in
accepting it. Nor is this a reflec-
ton on Cuba as training ground
for ball clubs. No place could be
more ideal. The weather is the
answer to every managers prayer
since Pop Anson'S day. What I
mean is that if the Giants came
here later and topped off their
stay with a short transforming
trip that would gradually accus-
tom them to the chill northern
spring, one imagines the benefits
accruing from the training pro-
gram would be greater.
AS things now stand, it looks as
if the team has an excellent chance
of leaving its pennant fight in the

Cadets Hopes
NOT Dinln1ed
Draw
By GARRETT WATERS

The piece de resistance (once
again we bring out this familiar
phrase in schoolboy sports circles
this week is the South Atlantic
basketball tournament at LeXlng-
ton, Va.
It becomes even more notable
this year because two OF Washing
tons champion teams have re-
ceived and accepted invitations to
participate.
Western and st. Johns are the
teams. The former recently won
the interhigh basketball series
crown. The Johnnies copped the
private high school title.
Both aggregationS had their
work cut out for them in garnering
these championships. And be-
cause they had such a time, OBJ
servers anc followers hold the be-
lief they will continue in fighting
trim, once the tourney starts
Thursday in the gymnasium at old
Washington and Lee University.
Western VS.. Monroe
Western has drawn Monroe A.
and NJ, of Georgia, in the first
round. st. Johns is scheduled
against John Marshall, last years
tourney champs, and favored
heavily to repeat.
However, enthusiasm at St.
Johns has not been dimmed in any
way because of this draw. Rather,
it has increased. For the JohnnieS
believe they're good enough to pull
the first upset of the tourney. And
they have their fighting record of
the local season to back up all
claims.
Irving Holbrook, coach, will take
eight players to the tourney. Two
will be making their final appear
ances in st. Johns uniforms. They
are Jimmy Reyes. star center, and
George Rehkopf. substitute center.
The remainder of the lineup will
be gaining valuable experience for
another season ahead. This list
includes Jimmy Giebel and Johnny
Swagart, forwards; Joe Gallagher
and Johnny Battista, guards; and
Charlie Batchleder and Albert
Burch, reserves.
First Team Ready
Cliff Moore, at Western, will
take his entire squad. The five men
who played the team into the inter
high championship will see the
most action, including George De
Witt and Gerald Burns, All-High
selections: Hugo Schulz, Paul Hell
and Hop Lomax.
Enthusiasm reigns supreme at
Western, too. The boys hope to
win this tourney for the simple
reason they want an invitation to
the Glen Falls championship early
in April.
81 believe the gang would
like to play basketball until
July" said Coach Moore today.
"They haven't stopped talking
basketball since winning the
interhigh series and I don't be-
lieve they will for some time to
come"
Both Western and st. Johns will
go to Lexington by automobile.
Western plays its game Thursday
night at 9 o'clock, while st. Johns
meets John Marshall in a 10
o'clock game the same night.

night of his murder, he was con-

"That was the last ever saw Of
