Prep Will Play Four
Public High Teams

The Bethesda Chevy Chase bas-

the strongest scholastic quints in
the Washington metropolitan area
will serve as fair test of compare
tive strength for several local public
high teams between now and the
opening of the championship series
next month.
-Four schools - Western, Tech.
Eastern and Anacostia-will have
met the Marylanders by January
II. opening date of the round robin
tourney, and these games possibly
will give some inkling of how they
will fare in championship competi-

has Won it's two court starts this
season, the first last week against
Rockville High and the second yes
terday when it turned back George

Good defense was displayed by
both quints early in the game at
Bethesda. and it was halfway
through the first period before the
initla basket was scored. That was
by Hillery Hayden of Bethesda, who
sunk a shot from the floor with
Georgetown's Chuck Devine hang
Ing on him. He made good the free
toss to put Bethesda ahead, where
it stayed. Baskets by Jim Kinsman
and Bob Whalen gave it a TO lead
before the Little Hoyas could mark.
Half-time score was 1874. and the

was traded away by Griffith, but

willing to trade Jakey back for Sim

The Tigers, although failing to do
anything with Cleveland and WASH

meeting by buying Pitcher Freddie

Outfielder Joyner White, Infelder

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Jock Suth-
erland, who gets a bit wrathy every
time some one suggests he is ready
to leave Pitt, denies he will become
head football coach at Holy Cross,
Boston College, Oklahoma Aggies.
or, for that matter, anywhere else.
And that just about sums up one
OF the calmest seasons the football
coach-firing sport has had in a good
many years.
The old custom of hollering fire
the coach" whenever q team fails to
win its full share Of games hasn't
been abandoned entirely. There's
even q notable variation at Boston
College where Gil Dobie is about to
lose his Job after developing a team
that dropped only one game. The
trend these days, however, is to sur
vey the situation carefully, and the
usual result is to give the poor guy
another. chance.
The canny veteran. Dobie, who
has been hearing since October that
he probably wouldn't be kept an
other season. got in the first punch
yesterday when he informed college
authorities:
Il wish to advise that I am not a
candidate to succeed myself as foot
ball coach at Boston College"
Many Seek 3. c. Post.
Gloomy Gil's announcement prob
ably will plant the seed for another
f1ourishing rumor crop. The Rev
Patrick H. Collins, S. j., director of
athletics at B. c., revealed he had
received several applications for
Dobie's Job. Reports already have
circulated that Clipper Smith of
Villanova. Gus Dorais of Detroit,
Adam Walsh of Bowdoin or Charley
Bachman is in line for the post.
They've figured in other rumors,
too.

Cross, abandoned by DR.. Eddie

Worries About Nova
Battle With Louis
Held Premature
Fight With Forr Friday
Seems to Rote Gruver
Consideration Now
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-There is
an opinion. frankly expressed by
both Jack Dempsey and Gene Tun-
ney, two Of the few who yelled
"bingo" in the fight game and got
out with the money, that young Lou
Nova is being galloped when he
should be trotted toward q title bout.
Nova. boyish. intelligent, ex-
collegian from California who is
risking teeth too good to be true
in the hand-to-mouth existence of
a fighter, meets Tommy Farr in a
15-round bout at Madison Square
Garden next Friday.
The criticism isn't that Nova isn't
ready for Farr, but that he isn't
ready for what comes after Farr-
Joe Louis. incidentally, Joe came
after Farr once before, but couldn't t
tag him in Is rounds.
Anyway, the argument that Nova
shouldn't meet Farr because he isn't
ready for Louis is something like
the argument that man isn't ready
for dinner because he ate his break
fast too fast.
Tunney and Dempsey point out
that II Nova beats Farr, which they
say he has a good chance Of doing,
there is nobody left but Louis, and
that Nova in his Is bouts hasn't
picked up enough experience to
match Louis.
Nova in Odd Situation.
Which leaves Nova in something
Of spot. If he doesn't meet Louis
and there is no other new business,
about all he can do is start all over
again and take on in order the same
opponents he already has met.
And, inasmuch as Nova lost only
one verdict in the Is fights, it would
be akin to insisting boy who had
passed his third grade work with
high marks take it over again so
the fourth grade work would be
easier.
Nova at % is only a year younger
than Farr, but Tommy, starting in
1899. has engaged in IA bouts.
Dempsey and Tunney, now quite
palsy-walsy after two attempts to
alter each others maps by aggres-
sion, call attention to the fact that
all great heavyweights have fought
their way up from the lower weight
classes and were ready for any
thing by the time they could quit
counting their calories.
Which is an argument in favor
Of their argument that it takes
more than courage and ambition
to succeed. In other words, it
takes more than an appetite to use
chop sticks.
Time to Worry After Friday.
Nova is serious. outstanding
youngster who played a little full
back for the California Aggies. His
only ring defeat was at the hands
of Make Rosenbloom, and since
Make could make even a champion
look bad, that setback can be dis
counted.
Ray Carlen. Nova's manager, in
sists he knows what he is doing in
matching-his man with Farr. AS
to his plans for his protege after
the Farr bout, he is noncommittal,
but he intimates he has them made.
II he hasn't. perhaps Farr will help
him.
At any rate, it would appear the
time to worry about Nova's future
is after Fridays bout. There's al
ways the chance his future may be
behind him. Farr says he knows all
the answers while Nova still is asking
questions. but Carlen and his boy
think they know the right answer
to this one.

Bride Of Day Displays

Return to Ring
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

Mrs. Pete Gaiano, a blond, blue
eyed slice Of Ireland, today gulped
her first bitter dose of being club
fighters wife, but the bride of day
already has learned to take such
things in stride. Such things as
having her husbands blood splat-
tered over her fur neckpiece, seeing
him battered to the floor and watch
ing him absorb crushing blows
haven't dimmed her enthusiasm for
Pete's chosen profession.
Mrs. Galiano sat in the shadow
of Pete's stool last night at Turner's
Arena and from her press bench
position was flecked with Pete's
blood and sprayed with water from
the bucket in his corner as the
Baltimore lightweight went through
the process of losing an 8-round de-
cision to Lou Gevinson, a local anna
teur product who will be married
January /.
Sure, Pete's going to keep on
fighting. I want him to. He's clever,
knows how to take care of himself,
won't be hurt badly and he loves it.
Besides, it's the thing he knows
best, so why shouldn't he keep on?
OF course. If he gets enough money
to open a tavern, that's another
thing, because that's what 1 want
him to do eventually" informed the
newly-wed.

''Why Pete's a good fighter. You
know when he was a sparmate for
Barney Ross, when Ross was in
training for Henry Armstrong, they
wouldn't let Pete work more than
a round with him after a while be-
cause Pete was showing him up. He
fights a lot like Armstrong and
Ross looked bad against him, so
after he worked a round or two
they'd tell him to rest up a bit.
