LINCOLN PARKERS
FACE GRIM PREPS
Raiders, Defending Champs,
Meet Formidable Foe in
Westinghouse.
BY BURTON HAWKINS.


With solemn warning from st.
Johns to avoid gracious gestures.
Eastern's interhigh champions and
Westerns defending Metropolitan
titlists swing into action tonight at
Tech High gym in f1rst-round games
Of The Evening Stars sixth annual
basket ball tournament.
Favored in many quarters to capture
the Metropolitan crown for the fourth
time, Eastern will stack up against a
grimly determined Georgetown Prep
outfit at o'clock, with the nightcap
of an attractive double-header listing
Western facing Westinghouse High
of BallSton, Va. Admission will be 25
cents.
While the Lincoln Parkers loom a
decided choice over Georgetown Prep,
Coach Ed Hargaden feels his charges
are primed to register an upset over
the talented Eastern contingent of
Clint Quantrille, Lee Lusby, Russ Lonl-
hardy, Ralph Matera and Howard
Hancock.
The Western -Washington-Lee en-
counter is rated the most entiong
flrst-round game, since both clubs
have whipped Bethesda Chevy Chase,
the only scholastic team to trim St.
johns this season. The defending
champions will bank chiefly on their
towering aces, Len Stanton and Bob
Custer.
Little Hoyas Up Against 1t.
Hargaden. former Georgetown AL
Eastern intercollegiate Conference
forward, has nodded a creditable ouint
at Georgetown Prep, but the Little
Hoyas nevertheless face a task of
gigantic proportions in squaring off
with Eastern, which swept through 10
games in the interhigh series without
an actual defeat, although it was
forced to forfeit one game to Roose-
welt through the brief use of an in
eligible substitute.
Meanwhile st. Johns and Bethesda
Chevy Chase paraded into the semi
final round as the result Of triumphs
last night at Tech High before $500
spectators, but the Johnnies still are
recuperating from a genuine scare.
Fredericksburg Highs gallant five,
hopelessly buried in the first half, be-
came something of bogeyman in the
second half before succumbing, 3l-25.
The powerful Johnnies, functioning
smoothly as Johnny Swagart and Jim
Giebel poured a steady stream of
leather through the net, spurted into
commanding 100 lead by the end
Of the first quarter and increased the
margin to 1873 by halftime.
Reserves Not Strong Enough.
Coach Gene Augusterfer inserted his
second-stringers at the start Of the
third period and at this point Fred

GREAT MILE FEAT
HELPS TERP MEET
Cunningham in Baltimore
Event T0morroW-AIIen
B0omS Hurdle Race.

The University of Maryland-5th
Regiment track meet to be held in
the soldiers spacious Armory in Bal
timore tomorrow night got two good
breaks yesterday.
The foremost. of course, was the
record-breaking indoor mile of 4:o4.4
at Dartmouth last night by Glenn
Cunningham who will run in the
featured Governors mile in the Mon
umental City meet. There already was
great interest in Cunningham's ap-
pearance and it has grown substan-
TALLY since his feat at Hanover.
Cunningham will have greater op-
position in Baltimore than he had at
Dartmouth, as Gene Venzke and
and Archie San Romani. his two great
est rivals. will be among those try
ing to take the Kansan's measure.
Ace Hurdlers to Vie.
The other lucky break for the
meet is that Sam Allen, the Oklahoma
hurdler, decided to enter to race
against Allan Tolmich, Wayne Uni
versity's great timber-topper. Now
that Spec Towns of Georgia has turned
to coaching, cutting Americas lead
ing trio to pair, Tomich and Allen
will have to battle it out for top hon.
ors Tolmich broke the 65-meter
hurdle mark in heat in the A. A. U.
games last week, but fell in the final
and Towns and Allen ran one, two.
Tolmich and Allen also will run in
the 70-yard dash, where, like in the
hurdles, they are the only scratch men.
There will be plenty of variety to
the meet, with team trophy fights in
the collegiate, A. A. U. and scholastic
sections and delight relay races, one
of which will bring Georgetown, Mary
land and Navy to the mark.
The meet starts at o'clock. The
Armory is on Hoffman street, less
than two blocks from the Mount Royal
station of the B. & 0.

CUNN|NCHAMBACK
ON MILE THRONE
His 4:04.4, Fastest Indoors
or Out, Puts Woodersen
2 Seconds Behind.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HANOVER, N. H., March 4.-Glenn
Cunningham's second world record
breaking feat in less than a week, a
4:04.4 mile. the fastest ever run, in
doors or out. today stamped that 28-
year-old Kansan as the greatest mid
dle-distance runner in board track
history.
With the cheers that greeted his
erasure Of the 1.500 meters indoor
mark, a 3:48.4 performance, still ring
ing in his ears, Cunningham came to
this little college town last night and
found the pre-arranged conditions so
ideal that he improved his own indoor
world mile mark which he made four
years ago, by four full seconds
He was also clocked two seconds un-
der Sgd Woodersen's recently approved
outdoor record of 4:064, but that Brit
ishers mark will remain in the books
until some one runs a faster mile on
cinders.
Warns Up Long Time.
Cunningham, after warming up for
three-quarters of an hour on Dart
mouths springy board track, reputed
to be about five seconds faster than
any other in the world, spotted six of
Coach Harry Hillmans green-shirted
Indians from S to 600 yards handicaps.
The mighty Kansan started off with
Stewart Whitman, Dartmouth's best
miller, S yards in front of him: Cliff
Holmes, Bert MacMannis, Robert
Yeuell and Fred Upton 260 yards
ahead and Harold Wonson leading by
600 yards.
Cunningham and Whitman raced
almost shoulder to shoulder for the
first half-mile, the Kansan running
58.5 and 81 second quarters before the
Dartmouth miller dropped out. Then
Cunningham set out to overtake the
260-yard handicapped group, which
he did by turning in GIT seconds for
his third quarter
Given Great Ovation.
He caught the 26o-yarders after
running Az laps and another half
turn sent him roaring past Wonson,
who was 20 yards back when Glenn
crossed the finish line and set off the
widest demonstration that could come
from crowd of less than 1000 per-
sons, including most of the Dartmouth
student body. MacMannis was third,
80 yards behind Wonson, and the
other three Indians too far back to
make fair estimates
The three timers, Profs L. F. Murch,
Gordon S. Hull and Charles A. Proctor,
not only caught Cunningham fourth
quarter in 60.2 seconds, but their
watches agreed on accumulative
quarters of 0:585, 2:02.5, 3:O4.2 as
we'll as the 4:04.4 time for the mile.
There were two other events on the
prearranged program to give the COM
petition meet status and, since all of
the officials were given A. A. U. sane
ton, Cunningham's 4:04.4 will be
presented for approval as new indoor
mile record.

day plays Frank Bowden and Don Nc
Neill faces Gregory Mangin in the
semi-final round of the mems national
indoor singles tennis championship.
On form, which has held up with
admirable consistency in the mems
division Of the tournament, Sabin and
McNeill, seeded No. l and 2, respect
lively, should come through to the title
round. But neither one is likely to
consider. it foregone conclusion.
In Bowden, who carried frankie
Parker to five sets in the 1887 final,
Sabin meets for the first time player
who combines indoor experience with
hitting power. The former Columbia

with complete f1nality in his straight
set victory over Morey Lewis yesterday.
Mangin CLASSY Opponent.
McNeill, in his match with Mangin,
tackles player who no longer has
the speed but retains all of the ex-
perience, the severe service and much
OF the volleying skill that took him to
four indoor titles In addition, Man.
gin, despite the fact he's out of con-
dition, has had enough staying power
to come out on top in two extra-set
matches.
Sabin, lone player in the tourna-
ment with a chance to win and share
in three titles. will compete in three
semi-f1nal matches today. In addi-
tion to his singles date with Bowden,
he and Katharine Winthrop of Boston
meet Minnie Fullen of Waco, Tex, and
Gus Ganzenmuller of New York in
mixed doubles and he and Mangin
face Leonard Hartman and Ed De
Gray in mems doubles. The semi
finals in these two divisions are sched-
uled for this evening.

United Action Is Urged
On Five-Doy Week

A plea for united action to obtain
a f1ve-day work week for Govern
ment employees was voiced in letter
made public today by the National
Labor Relations Board Union,
through its president, Norman P.
Matthias.
The letter was sent to Charles I.
Stengle, president of the American
Federation of Government Employees;
Luther c. Steward, president of the
National Federation of Federal EN-
ployes, and Jacob Baker, president
Of the United Federal Workers of
America.
Citing the attainment of the five
day week as the most important OBJ
jective of all Federal employees, the
N. L. R. B. Union asked for the
designation of representatives of the
other three organizations to a Ma
tional Five-Day Week Committee to
work for the legislative enactment
of the objective.
