NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Will the
Ivy League of the East be trans
formed into more formally definite
organization as result of the fore
gathering of athletic directors of
Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Cornell,
Dartmouth, Columbia and Pennsyl-
vanla as guests of James Lyman,
Cornells graduate manager, in
Savannah?
Messrs. LYMAN and Schwartz of
pennsylvania, Fairnan of Princeton
Carter of Dartmouth, Farmer of
Yale; Asa Bushnell, commissioner of
the Eastern Intercollegiate Athletic
Association; Bingham OF Harvard
and Benson Of Columbia are in the
party.
Two years ago as will be recalled,
the Ivy League was formed as a
loosely knit organization at the first
OF Lynahs Georgia parties, and it
was then that the Eastern Intercol-
legiate Association was brought into
being and Asa Bushnell appointed
as administrator.
To speak of the Ivy League as
loosely knit is to speak with precise
accuracy. AS that inimitably genial
wit, Romeyn Berry of Cornell, we'll
has said: "Of all imaginary institu-
lions, with the possible exception of
Santa Claus, the Ivy League has
achieved the closest approach to
reality, the greatest degree of pub
lie acceptance as a tangible entity,
OF course, there is no such league. u
And really there is not. 1t is an
1ll-assorted group and its constitu-
entS vary widely in such important
matters as terms of admission of
students. range of curriculum and
athletic and scholastic requirements.
Now, after two years, however,

this inchoate organization will in.

Lynah's ancestral acres in Georgia
and across the Savannah River in

Vivial interludes with serious con-
sideration of what has been accom-
plished and what might be achieved
IN the future.
1t Is not probable, but not at all
impossible, that uniform and more
definite policy may come out of
the current foregathering. Before
he entered intercollegiate athletics,

In Demeonor, Seen as

BY DREW MIDDLETON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

EEW YORK, Dec. 14-Lou Nova
the handsome young Californian who
will trade buffets with Tommy FAIR
the willing Welsh heavyweight. Fri
day night, wishes people would stop
talking about fight with Joe Louis
because I have to beat that Farr and
that's real job
Ever since he stopped the durable
Gunnar Barlund, there has been talk
Of matching him with Louis in an
outdoor show next Summer. His
manager, Ray Carlin. still is warm
under the weskit because Gene
Tunney and Jack Dempsey made a
point of telling the boxing writer's
Lou was being brought along too
fast.
Il don't know why they say that
said Lou as Carlin started to sputter
at mention of the incident. II fought
a lot as an amateur here and abroad
I've had plenty of fights on the Coast
I knocked out Bob Nestell out
there-and I stopped Gunnar Bar
lund here in New York. I think I'm
ready for Farr."
Not Tuned for Barlund.
Barlund had knocked him down,
and, as the Gunnar never was
classed as superior puncher, there
was some doubt about Louis ability
to fight tough customer like Farr
over 15-round route.

Lou, but didn't feel so good for
that fight. I didn't have much time
to train and I was sick after I got
here. Then that Garden gets you
the first time you're on as main
fighter"
Nova is a lot like Tunney. He is
quiet, immensely serious about his
business and just a touch stand
offish with the boys who gather
around him at the Pioneer A. c.,
where he trains, to poke his muscles
and speculate on his ability.
Against Barlund his main stock in
trade was a very good straight left
which he kept tanning into the
Barlund kisser Around the fifth
round the same weapon opened a cut
over Barlund's eye and in the sew
enth Arthur Donovan, the referee,
stopped the fight.
Can Hith With Right, Too.
Hes got a lot more than that
left now" said Carlin as Nova
pune ned around a hired hand. He
didn't use his right much against
Barlund, but it's pip. Does he pat
tern himself on Tunney? I don't
know, maybe he does. Why not? I
don't think Tunney was right about
bringing him along too fast, but he's
good guy for young fighter to
follow
The prevailing opinion is Lou will
have a ringful in Farr. Tommy has
been beaten three times in three ap-
pearances in this country. He must
win to stay near the top. He is down
to 203 to Nova's 1913 and he is going
well in his workouts. Right now
Farr is slight favorite.
Let him be-" said Lou between
pulls at the water bottle, that's the
way I like it."

Tech, Central Quints
Are Due 10 Climb
Series Ladder
Lowly Finishers Last
Year Have Vet Elves,
Strong Reserves
BY GEORGE HUBER.

Central and Tech basket ball
teams finished at and near the
bottom, respectively, in the scholas-
tic court series last season, but they
have veteran squads returning to
the boards and both are looking
for a strong comeback.
Central especially was spared by
graduations. Johnny Tanning is
over the age limit, but otherwise the
Mount Pleasanters line up much as
they did last winter and a wealth
OF reserve material is available.
More than 60 candidates turned out
when Coach Jack Ray called ini-
tlal practice. but this list already
has been pared to 25 Still more
cutting is contemplated, but large
squad will be carried to supply
talent for Rays new double defense
system.
The idea is to have two teams,
one drilled in the regular man-to-
man defense and the other using
the more exacting zone defense.
They will be alternated on the court
to ball up" the opposition. 1t
worked very well, Ray says, in a
practice engagement with Wilson
Teachers.
Regulars back are Len Sokol,
Archie Panago, Erwin Ornstein and
Harry Martin. Dick Farr, who be-
came eligible last February, but who
didn't play enough quarters to win
monogram, also is tossing the
ball in practice sessions, but bout
with school grades may keep him
out. Ray has hopes, however, that
he can make the necessary aver
ages. He did it this fall when on
the football team and was one of
Central's outstanding ends.
The lightweight quint of last sea-
son also has given several promis-
ing prospects to the regular squad,
among them Bill Edgerton, Louis
Apostolakos, Slater Clarke, Hank
BaitZ, Art Primer and Bob Lam
zillotti.
Coach Bruce Kessler at Tech
starts his second year with prac-
tically the same group of players
who last year finished only ahead
of Central and Woodrow Wilson.
This time, however, they are ex-
perienced instead of raw recruits.
Despite this, Kessler is not any too
pleased with the prospects.
He expressed pessimism by say
ing that They're not taking things
serious enough"
The first game is scheduled Friday
at Tech with Bethesda Chevy Chase
as the visiting quintet, and already
the Marylanders have shown them
selves tough foes in taking Rock
vile High and Georgetown Prep.
Whether the Tech players are seri-
Gus or not should be found out Fri
day.
The material appears good Vic
this year than last. Charley Kendall,
forward, is another experienced
player who shows promise. Sid
Shulman and Eli Blank are letter
men guards and the quintet of ex-
perienced boys could be rounded out
with Sammy Gentleman, who
worked all positions as a substitute
last year.
Things also are progressing at
other schools. Anacostia and West
ern are opening up the season by
playing hosts to Dewitt and Bethes-
da-Chevy Chase today at 2:30, and
tomorrow Eastern goes into action
at Alexandria against George Wash
ington High.

an unopened razor blade.

told the delegates to the major
league meeting, and, when they had
studied the situation bit, the dele
gates saw Williams point.
Terry gave up just one regular
from his 1888 club-Bartell. At the
same time, he acquired three men
who will play regularly for him in

1t would be folly to pretend that
William is absolutely bombproof at
second base and third base, but he
has a club that can be fielded as
is, and one that will challenge for

is great deal of respect for the

same thing.
Pittsburgh is as good a bet for

1887 and 1898. The Pirates are the

the peoples choice. The Cardinals
are the dark horse. The Cubs and

where.
Here are some things to remem-
Der about my three ball clubs:
Cincinnati-The best manager in
baseball. The best young pitching
staff in the National League. The
best balance between hitting and
fielding.
Pittsburgh-The best team. That's
been the case for three years now.
st. Louis-The leagues strongest
and most uninhibited sluggers in
Medwick and Mize. A conner in
Slaughter, if the Cardinals hold on
to him. The best young catcher in
the league. The cagiest pitching
staff.
Here are some things to remem-
Der against them:
Cincinnati-An erratic infield.
Pittsburgh-An cratic pitching
staff and not whole lot of fight.
st. Louis-As full of holes as
