FIGHT FEATURES
CARDS. VICTORY
over A. U. QU|NT
BY CHICK KENNY

Officials are part of the great
game of basketball. A cage game
cannot be played without the
presence of a gent with a whistle
to keep the play organized. Of
ficials are just as important as
any player or group Of players
on a team. But
Last night out at American
University we had an official
playing the game instead Of Of
ficiating. He did everything but
score baskets and toss the ball
around. In fact, the approved
District official who handled the
north side Of the court in the
Eagle gym in the game between
A. U. and Catholic University
went so far as to play "Piccolo
Pete" on his whistle and turned
an important game between the
two schools into a near riot TO-
ward the end Of the conflict.
DEFEAT AVENGED
Catholic U. won the fray, its
third Of the season in 13 starts,
32-22,. and thus avenged one
point defeat suffered earlier in
the season and dished out by
American U. in the Brookland
gym.
The game was marked by a
slight Scuffle between Rocco
Pierre, of C. u, and Dud Rogers,
Of the Eagles, rival centers.
Wayne Ambrose added IA points
to his high-Season total to put
him far in the lead in his dash
for the high-scoring title. The
Cardinal hotshot now has a total
of 158 points.
American U. started auspiciouSly
enough, with action slow at the
start Of the game. The Cards,
however, went ahead at 9-S and
pushed to a 19-8 advantage at
halftime on stellar basket-looping
by Irish Carroll.
RALLY FAILS
AT the start OF the second halt
American U. was off on a Sus-
tanned drive that brought the
Eagles to within two points of
c. u, through the crack scoring
and field work Of Hugo Schultze
and Emerson Brown.
Then Ambrose started. Four
straight baskets and the Redbirds
jumped ahead to 25-19. Carroll
and Ambrose continued the scor.
ing to bring the count to 31-19.
With the Cardinal duo taking
over the show, the referees whistle
went into operation after a short
pause. Rogers and Pirro staged a
slight skiEmish, which was
promptly halted as four fouls
four of 'em were meted out to the
pair.

A wide-open fight looms in
the effort OF Catholic University
to throw off the power of the
District Boxing Commission to
regulate its boxing shows, it
was learned today.
Two weeks ago Representa-
tive Jennings Randolph Of West
Virginia introduced a measure
in the House whereby college
boxing in the District would be
divorced from the commission.
The amendment to the original
bill legalizing boxing here was
instigated by Arthur j. Dutch"
Bergman, athletic director at
Catholic University, who is de-
manding that Catholic Univer-
Sity handle its own athletic pro-
gram without interference from
outside forces.
Yesterday Senator Sherman
Minton CD of Indiana intro
duced the same bill, as drafted
by Representative Randolph, in
the Senate.

OWNED HIGH TIME
Red Cross Head Did
Much For Game
During War
OWNED HIGH TIME
By KIRK MILLER,

Inc passing OF Rear Admiral
Cary T. Grayson leaves a void in
the world of sports, just as 1t re-
moves a gallant figure who has
been in the national limelight
since the occupancy of the White
House by the first Roosevelt.
For THE Little Admiral" was a
horseman of the first magnitude,
being not only a breeder and racer
lof thoroughbreds, but a frequent
spectator at the nearby Maryland
tracks where he sought relaxation
from his arduouS duties with the
Red Cross, previous to having
Izealously guarded the health Of
three Presidents.
BORN IN SADDLE
Thus his was accepted some
what as an official blessing upon
the thoroughbred industry, just IS
President Howard Taft's profound
interest in baseball was hailed as
the greatest inheritance the game
could possess.
Being a Virginian, Admiral
GraySon came naturally by his
love for horSefleSh. He was origi-
nally identified in breeding with
the late Sam Ross, a prominent
Washington hardware man, and,
from this beginning, Grayson came
to be looked upon as the leading
student of blood lines, certainly in
this vicinity, If not in America.
Associated with the stocky naval
official in his thoroughbred enter
priseS at the hour Of his death
were Henry p. Metcalf, brother of
the former Senator from Rhode
Island, and Robert F. Clark, a
New York financier. The stable
is wintering at Benning, where
Admiral Grayson has been only an
|infrequent visitor Of late owing to
his declining health.
Associated with the name Of
Admiral Grayson are such famous
racers as War Feathers, a Man
o. War daughter, which brought
the highest price ever paid for q
filly at the famous Saratoga sales,
something over $4,000. The pur'
chaser was James Cox Brady, a
New York millionaire.
OWNED HIGH TINE
other Man O. War offspring
bred by Grayson which brought
astounding prices were Liberty
Limited and Broadway Limited,
both of which brought more than
$50, 900. The purchaser Of this
pair was F. T. Waggoner, a Texas
oil man.
Admiral Grayson bought the
famous High Time when he was
supposed to have been completely
broken down, paying a mere $4,000.
From High Time, which developed
into the era's leading sire, Gray
son got his great Sarazen, which
flashed across the tracks Of Amer
lea. Grayson finally sold High
Time for $50 900, retaining a breed
ing interest.
Then there was the Grayson

wanna, great thoroughbreds which
captivated racing fans of their
time. Fluvanna was called the
hard-luck filly because she fin
ished second in the Belmont Flu.

Well, sir, the way this cocky
little Irishman flew back at his
accusers was something to sit

1t was veritably the spectacle OF
a toy spaniel defying a Great

O'Hara bought a Providence
newspaper in which to express
his side of the controversy as
well as his opinion Of the Chief
Executive of the State in which
his racing plant had flourished
possibly too well.
This resulted in at least one
libel suit, with racing'S Little
Caesar as the defendant. What
came Of it I don't recall. but in
the meantime the comedy be-
came more raucous as the Ma

The militia was either to
quarantine the public from the
alleged iniquities of O'Hara-
conducted racing, or to protect
O'Hara from himself, the script
isn't exactly clear; but there
were the troops with drawn bay
onets holding a Roman hoH-

This has all covered a period
Of approximately year. and II
anyone ever proved anything on
O'Hara, other than that he
didn't belong in racing in the

However, it is pretty evident

became irksome to the Governor
