Chapel Hill
BY GARRETT WATERS

Once again prep school basket
ball activities jump into the local
sports spotlight.
You've guessed it, the Gonzaga
and st. Johns teams play Satur-
day night for the Catholic High
School championship.
The C. U. gymnasium will be
the scene; the hour, $50 p. m. 1t
was the site the last time the ag-
gregations met. AS it turned out,
it was Just the place for the game,
as $500 fans were attracted.
st. Johns won that one, and by
doing so, jumped into the thick
of the fight for the championship.
Saturdays contest will definitely
decide. but on this occasion
neither team is favored, principally
because the pair are so evenly
matched.
Familiar lineups again will see
action. st. Johns will have Jimmy
GiebeI, Johnny Swagart, Jack
Reyes, Johnny Battiste and Joe
Gallagher on the floor while Con
zaga will depend upon Jim Walsh,
jim Boyle, Tom Hanley, jim
O'Brien and Harry Hieberger.

high fans are waiting for today. 1t
comes tomorrow, lest it might not
be known, and it brings with it the
real turning point of the champion
ship race.
western, on account of its 31-to-
20 triumr over Roosevelt on Tues
day. continues to hold a mathe-
matical chance of tying Eastern
for first place.
The GeorgetownerS' only hopes
of finishing with this tie, however,
lies in their ability to defeat Cen
trail and Techs slim hopes OF up
setting Eastern.
With this situation existing, the
Tech gym is expected to house its
largest interhigh crowd Of the sea-
son. And it goes without any more
adjectives that two characteristic
thrillers will be played.
Should Eastern weather the
storm tomorrow, the title will be
it's fourth in as many years. Fur
ther, this championship will be
even more dear inasmuch as a
brand new team, guided by Mike
Kelley, coach will have been sue
cessful.
This team comprises Clinton
Quantrille, center; Carroll Cotton
and Russ Lombardy, forwards, and
Lee Lusby ana Bud Hancock,
guards.
Tech Trackmen Ready
Coach Artie Wondrack, OF Teck
High School, has a group OF track
hopefuls ready for a trip to the
Southern Conference games at
Chapel Hill, N. c., Saturday.
Ten will compete. This list in
cludeS Lester Thomas, Herbert
Sapperstein, Jack Scott and Viii
liam Smith, sprinters; Herbert
FarnSworth, Harold Welch, Charles
limbaugh and Wexford Ford, re-
lay; Charles Luckett and Elmer
Gallun, 10O-yar6 run, and William
Holbrook, high jump.
Tech won high school honors
last year by 13 points. Wondrack
has hopes of gaining another win
for Tech, but will not make any
predictions.
The Central and Eastern teams
will not be represented in the
games this year. Hardy Pearce,
coach at Central, plans taking 10
men to the Maryland Regimental
meet at Baltimore, March 6. how

Wilson High

St. Johns and GonZaga, prep
school basketball teams, were re-
turned winners in yesterdays
games. st. Johns scored over
Woodrow Wilson High, 17-9, and
Gonzaga vanquished Georgetown
Prep, 40-16.
The feature Of the st. Johns
Woodrow Wilson game was the
fact that the latter team did not
score a point in the first half of
the contest.
Gonzaga, using 10 men, romped
over, around and through the
Little Hoyas for an easy win.

He tried out this residue on rats

standard tests, the efficacy OF tes-

Stan Correspondent of The star

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, May 3.
Discovery of an "activator" OF the
male hormone which increases its DO
tency skiold was announced before
the Virginia Academy Of Sciences
here today by DR.. Macmillan Ehren-
stein Of the University Of Virginia
Medical School.
DR.. Ehrenstein described this SUBJ
stance as sodium salt Of palmitic
acid" Palmitic acid-found in palms,
from which it derives its name-is
also one OF the most abundant acids
in the fats OF the animal body.
The Virginia Psychologist hit upon
his discovery largely by accident. He
has been engaged for some years in
an effort to extract from the adrenal
glands of cattle pure "cortin," the
secretion OF the adrenal cortex which
Is necessary for life and which acts
as a magical drug in increasing
physical endurance. This required
REORGANIZATION after REORGANIZATION OF
cortlcal preparations, each presum-
ably coming little closer to the
fraction which contained the pure
substance.
Residue Thrown of.
There was gradually thrown OF
residue which produced none Of
the reactions of cortin and hence
could contain none OF the material
sought. Chemically, this residue was
an extremely complex mixture of or
ganic acid salts for which no place
could be assigned in the physiological
mechanism.

or more synthetic preparations which
are being tested. Each Of the three
natural ones has = slightly different
effect on different organs. Although
he has not subjected the conclusion
to tests, Dr.. Ehrenstein said, 1t Is
highly improbable that the palmitic
acid salt would produce the same ef-
fects with the other two.
He emphasized that his results still
are very much in the experimental
stage, and that 1t will be long time
before they can have any medical ap-
plication. His conclusions are based
on findings Nth rats and At certain
specific dosages. He is by no means

The palmitic acid salt serves as =
binder for the hormone, releasing 1t
over considerable period only In such
minute doses as the system can make
use Of. It serves as the systems

Is that the body gets the full effect
Of whatever dosage Of the hormone is
given, instead of wasting the greater
part of it.

The probable explanations Of the
eject, DR.. Ehrenstein said, is that

The actual applications Of testos-

stressed. A theory has been advanced
with some plausibility, he explained,
that In both sexes there is a critical
balance Of both male and female
hormones and when this balance is
disturbed various APPARENTLY uncon-
nected distinctions take place entirely
aside from premature aging. In such
cases administration of the vastly
strengthened testosterone preparation
might have far-reaching vslue-in
case further tests bear out the pre-
liminary findings.
