II. darC.
The Chief has been confined to
his home since January 16. His
illness has precluded any active
coaching, and the new Setup will
be in effect until his condition
returns to normal, which will
probably be around the baseball
season.
Artie Boyd, who has been doing
a fine job Of coaching the Lincoln
Park basketeers, will relinquish
his job because Of his afternoon
classes in mathematics an d
geography.
Mike Kelley, who was Holy
Cross star before coming to Wash
ington, is amply able to handle
his present position. His first
coaching job here was at Business
High School, where he turned out
some fine teams. From there she
went to Central High for four
years, turning out one Of the
greatest football teams in Cen.
trails history.
Transferring to Eastern in 1928,
he coached the track squad to its
first interhigh crown the follow
ing year and repeated for two
more straight years. In 1884, with
one Of Eastern's greatest quintets,
Kelley coached his charges into
the interhigh title, and last year
his men lost the crown only after
tying for the championship and
losing in the playoff to an in.
Spired Western team.
Eastern has already won the
first half honors Of the current
interhigh campaign, and Kelley
is well acquainted with the per.
Sonnel of his team.

Match by Kayo
BY DAVIS J. WALSH
international News Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Jan. 2s U.Ns0.
In case you were alarmed about
it and couldn't for the life of you
get to sleep at nights until away
after 10 o'clock, Max Schneling
will have no trouble with Ben
Foord, the South African heavy
weight, in their meeting at Ham
burg, Germany, on Sunday after
noon. He'll bop BENJAMIN at viii.
He'll probably knock the blighter
as stiff as a plate glass window.
Only the second Of these state
ments is mine. The first was
vouchsafed by Benjamin's fellow
Briton, Tommy Farr, in a talk
with Mr.. Joe Jacobs, who looks
after Schmeling. In fact, he gen.
orally looks away down the street
after him. Anyhow!
POWDERPUFF PUNCHER
"A powder.puff puncher," says
our Thomas, indifferently, in
referring to Foord. Hell not
give Schmeling the slightest
trouble"
Foord had been the British en-
pire champion before Farr, but
yielded the title to the latter with
12-round decision last year, and
Mr.. Jacobs, who always wants to
know things even when he doesn't
like them, was doing little free
style checking-up. He finds that
Foord is one Of those strictly reli-
able chumpS who like to stand of
and spar in a strictly genteel way.
There sh v'd be very little Of that
after Schmeling shoots his first
inside rightcross from the flat Of
his bosom.
CLIPPED GERMAN
You may recall, though, that
Harry Thomas was to be Just as
easy for Schmeling in his last New
York showing six weeks ago. In
stead, he clipped the German In

out Of a girls boarding school.
But he could punch a bit and
it's pretty well accepted as a fact
by now that, to beat Schmelng,
you've got to hurt him. That
seems to let Mr.. Foord out, with

Move Made to Call in
Plane Manufacturers for
Expert Testimony.

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a. (UP).
A move was begun in congress
last night to subpoena aircraft
manufacturers for testimony on
President Roosevelt's billion-dol-
lar naval expansion program, con-
current with charges that the adj
ministration is suppressing re-
ports of tests showing that battle
ships are vulnerable to alrplane
attack.
Representative Ralph E. Church,
R., ILL.,, announced that he will re-
quest the house naval affairs
committee Friday to subpoena
leading airplane manufacturers
an dtechnical authorities for in
formation regarding the relative
strength of bombing planes and
battleships before the committee
acts on billion-dollar naval ex-
pansion bill. -.
Lester P. Barlow, inventor of
aerial bombs, in a letter to
Church, informed the committee
that Glenn L. Martin, president of
the Martin Airplane Manufactur-
ing company, would sustain his
recent testimony that new type
of aerial attack will soon be de-
vised which will make battleships
practically obsolete.
"I think the naval affairs COM
mittee will be more than willing
to subpoena civilian aircraft au-
thorities after it hears the testi-
mony of navy air corps author1-
ties Friday" Church said. "This
is a matter that we should all
know more about before we act
on the present authorization pro-
gram"
Rear Admiral Arthur B. Cook,
chief of the bureau of aeronau-
tics, will Testify before. the COM
mittee Friday in support of the
program.
Committee Chairman Carl Vim
son, D., Ca, said he would put
Church's proposal to a vote of
the committee but doubted that
it would be necessary to call IN
civilian authorities after Rear
Admiral Cook testifies.

less than $50 miles from the i'm

ter of Osaka.
Reports reaching Tokyo from
China said that the planes, when
last sighted, were near Hang
chow, on the Chinese eastern
coast. To complete the round
trip from China would necessi-
tate a flight of approximately
100 miles, on the basis of the
Japanese reports.
The air raid warnings were IS
sued at II 40 a. M, little more
than two hours after the planes
were reported flying over Hang
chow. At 1890 p. m. the warn
ing was extended to the entire
Kyushu district.
There were said to be II bomb
ers in the Chinese squadron.
Almost simultaneously with the
warnings came an announcement
from Rear Admiral Kiyoshi Noda,
chief of the Japanese navy infor-
nation bureau, that he believed
Chinese planes were capable OF
powerful attack" upon Japan
proper.
Noda was commenting on yes
terday's raid on Formosa in which
the Chinese Central News agency
asserted that 40 japanese planes
had been destroyed at Taihoku.

WING, REPORT
Fail to Show up by Night
After Alarm Given in
Procedures
PEOPLE BELIEVE FOE
MET, TURNED BACK

TOKYO, Feb. "a. (UP).-Mil-
lions of people in Japan today
watched the skies anxiously for
hours as an air alarm sounded
throughout the western area Of
the island empire in belief that a
Chinese war plane fleet was on
the way to bomb the country.
Twelve Chinese planes were
sighted over the midi China coast,
headed eastward toward Japan.
Ten more Chinese planes were
seen over the East China sea on
direct route to Japanese islands.
Nagasaki, the great japanese
naval base, and other populous
cities are in the danger zone. By
dark no planes had been seen and
the alarm relaxed and the people
believed that japanese planes had
met the raiders at sea and turned
them back after a battle.
At Shanghai it was. announced
officially that seven squadrons of
Chinese planes took part yester-
day in raids off the Japanese
coast on the island of Formosa.
