Tommy O'Brien lnvodes
With Jersey Reds
For League Tilt

One of the best college athletes
turned out in Washington recently
will return tonight as the Jersey
Reds open against Heurich Brewers
for the city's first taste of American
League professional basket ball in
10 years.
Starting at 9 o'clock in the Brew
ers' compact gymnasium at Twenty
sixth and D streets NV, the Reds
will have as one of their stars
Tommy O'Brien, keyman and cap
tain of George Washington's basket
ball outfit last year and the most
popular sports figure there since
Alphonse (Tuffy) Leemans. Among
the other outstanding performers
in the Reds lineup are Moe SPAIN,
voted the leagues most valuable
player last season, and Phil Rabin,
for two years the loops leading
scorer.
Four EX-ColOnials Play.
Facing O'Brien will be four former
G. w. cage stars, Micky Schonfeld,
George Freilicher, Arthur zahn and
Ben Goldfadden, all of whom are
expected to have a hand in the
Brewers bid for an upset Wash
ington must win tonight or be
headed straight for the cellar, it
having lost its two starts SO far.
1t lost last night to the Colonials,
1926, at Kingston, N. Y.
The game was finished under pro-
test. Bob Mcdonald, Heurich man
ager, today declared that his team
was leading, 1917, when the King
ston timekeeper sounded his whistle
to end second-period play, but as
Heurich discontinued play the Co.
lonials kept on and scored three
points to take a lead it never re-
linquished.
Amateurs Play Prelim.
Probably the same starting line
up that played at Kingston will open
here tonight. This will feature Ed
Kweller at center, Whitley Wilson
and George Freilicher at forwards
and Mickey Schonfeld and Arthur
Zahn at guards. The gym doors
open at 7:30, and a preliminary
amateur game between P. w. A.
and Regal Clothiers will be played
at o'clock.

A Dogs Life
Ry r. r. TAYNTON.,

The popularity of the Irish setter
as a best-in-show winner. which
so forcibly was demonstrated in the
last few years by the wins of Cham
pion Milson O'Boy, evidently is an
old custom. The very first show at
which a best-in-shoW winner was
picked. the Franklin (PaJ Bench
Show in September, 1881, an Irish
setter registered as Biz and owned
by j. S. Mcintosh of Pittsburgh. was
declared the best dog in the show.
This three day event had
the huge entry of 10 dogs. all
breeds. ranging from toys to
working dogs, with at least
one representative in each of
the six groups.
1t took three judges, j. ]. Snellen-
burg, c. H. Duncan and Harry Pier
son to judge this big show. Contrast
this record with that of the Morris
and Essex show where three to four
thousand dogs are judged between 10
in the morning and in the evening.
Yet, in spite of the change in dog
show tempo. the Irish setter still has
an edge on the chances of going best
in-show, O'Boy having won Morris
and Essex just three years ago.
Has Unusual Terriers.
Probably one of the most roman
tically conceived kennels in this Sec
ton is that of young Bill Hatch, who
recently has moved to Falls Church
Va. Bill, more or less, has been fol-
lowing the fleet all over the world
In China, he purchased a pair of
Lhasa terriers, those little, long
haired dogs that resemble toy SPAN
iels. These dogs are believed by
some to be the progenitors of the
Pekingese. There is no doubt that
they were the closely guarded and
perhaps sacred dogs of Tibet. In
recent years, few of them appar-
emily have been smuggled out OF
Tibet by Mongols. who peddled them
among the Russians now resident in
China. Through the Russians the
dogs have found their way into the
ownership of people temporarily re-
siding in China.
The original two acquired by Bill
Hatch have multiplied. Interested
in the show points of these rare
dogs, he exhibited them at the larg-
est show in Honolulu, where he re-
sided at one time.
His Ming Tai not only was
best of breed but second best
terrier in well-filled group.
Not content with his Chinese dogs
Bill added to his collection when in
Germany, some months later, a
finely bred chocolate-colored dachs-
hund. He hopes that he will have a
chance to stay a while in Falls
Church and really enjoy his dogs
and dog breeding.
d. C.. Dog Wins in Canada.
The golden anniversary show of
the Canadian Kennel Club, recently
held at Toronto, was a noteworthy
affair. Over TOO dogs we're entered
and it was said that the quality OF
the exhibitions probably was the
highest ever seen at a Canadian
show. Champion Herman Rinkton
the American dachshund owned by
Mrs. Annis Jones, was the best dog
in the show.
Strangely enough, all the
group winners were United
States-owned dogs, although

Bidding for their fifth straight

Gait Davis crack Rosslyn girls
team assumed four-game lead by
dealing a stinging three-game de-

the Luckies with high team counts

Lorraine shot 329 and Lucy 32l.

The afternoon before the 1887

his players to don red jerseys to
oblige newspaper photographer.
Next day Kansas gambled on a
long pass that bounded off the
hands of an Oklahoma defensive
back and into the arms OF a
waiting Jayhawk for touchdown.
That touchdown won the game
and knocked the SoOners out OF
the Big Six Conference cham
pionship.
From that day on the Soonerse
wore their white jerseys in every
game. They haven't been beaten
since.
But last Saturday Oklahoma

by Tennessee's high-fying Volun-

1898 all-star team of the Associated

Coaches and sports writer's joined
in selecting the II players for the
honor roll, voting positions to three
Tennessee players and unanimously
nominating the Volunteer captain,
Bowden Wyatt, for an end berth
the lone candidate receiving full
bundle of ballots.
Joining Wyatt on the all-star line
up were his teammates, Quarter
back. George Cafego, a wheelhorse
in the Tennessee attack all sea-
son, and Robert Suffridge. l90-
pound guard, who, as a sophomore.
was one of the conferences classiest

Suffridge Is On Soph.
Louisiana State University placed
two players, with other places 60
ing to Georgia Tech, Auburn, Mis-
sissippi, Alabama, Georgia and
Tulane. The team represents a line
averaging around 1913 pounds and
backfleld that would average 1856
pounds.
Suffridge was the only sophomore
to crash the honor roll. He re-
ceived a preponderance of votes for
guard position. Two juniors were
accorded places-Cafego and Ken
Kavanaugh, Louisiana State star,
who was named as Wyatt's COM
panion at end.
Voting for the center position left
little to spare among a trio of
outstanding pivot Quintin
Lumpkin of Georgia, Jack Chiving-

Hinkebein of Kentucky, each the
captain of his team. Lumpkin
polled slightly the most votes, with

One other factor that may have had something to
do with limiting interest in the election of last
Tuesday the absence of political issues coupled
with the widespread belief that all citizens here
are more or less alike that is good
another. The idea has persisted in the minds Of
many Of citizens that it really doesn't make
much difference who gets elected; that all folks
hare good, honest people, carefully investigated
and selected.
Despite the small percentage of registered voters

To the Editor:
1t was pointed out in editorial last week
that "For the second time within 80 days. major
accident has occurred to a Greenbelt bus" Our
point this week is that these buses have been in
two accidents too many.
Now, it's high time to stop this monkey business.
We don't Greenbelt citizens and Greenbelt bus
ses involved in such unnecessary accidents. And
they are unnecessary. Both accidents. far
can learn, resulted from pure carelessness.
Greenbelt busses the BIO and Capital Tran
sit tracks at Berwyn At times each day.
We'll venture guess that accidents to Green
belt busses in which people were injured in rela-
tion the total number Of busses running out here
(7) is far greater in terms Of percentage ratio
than accidents resulting in injuries involving all
other buses operated by Capital Transit (severa1
hundred).
Perhaps this guess Of ours is not anywhere near
the true facts. Be that it may. However, we
wish to reiterate, WE DOM WANT GREENBELT BUSES

Another reason why did not register for the
