MACBRIDE new
CAGE COACH AT
EASTERN HIGH

Principal Charles Hart OF
Eastern High today announced
that John B. MacBride will
assume the position Of head
basketball coach at the end of
this season. Mr.. MacBride re.
places Michael Kelley who has
been temporary coach since the
illness of Charles Chief" Guyon
forced him to relinquish the post.
Mr.. Hart said that since Mac
Bride came to Eastern two years
ago from Sparrows Point, Md,
where he coached basketball and
track, they had looked for an
opening on the coaching staff for
him to fill.
Ample experience in MacBride's
background is testified by the
fact that before his Maryland as
signment, he coached basketball,
football and baseball at South
port, West Baden and Bloomfield,
Ind, high schools. He has also
been a basketball and football
official.
Arthur Boyd will continue with
football, Mike Kelley with track
and Chief Guyon with baseball,

HOYA FLOORMEN
BID CITY ADIEU
With UPHILL Win

Carnegie Tech blew into town
late yesterday afternoon from
Pittsburgh, and then blew a r.
point lead and was drubbed As to
Al by Georgetown University In
Tech High gym last night in the
fare-thee-wen conflict Of the Hoyas
here this season. 1t was an uphill
fight all the way, with the locals
winning out in the closing mo-
ments Of play.
1t looked like a bad night was
in store for the Georgetown team
as Carnegie found the scoring
range of the basket at the very
start Of the tilt to sink spectacular
shots throughout the first half
and hold a 1921 margin at half
time.
Mike Petroskey. playing his last
home game Of his career, was the
standout of the fray, Snagging the
most sensational one-hand toSses
for field goals seen on the Tech
court this year. He scored IA
points, most of which were tailed
in the second StanZa.
Georgetown deserved to win. It
played hard throughout and had
enough drive in the pinches to put
the game on ice.
The game marked the final
varsity home showing of Capt.
Mike Petroskey, Tommy Nolan
and Harry Bassin.
In the preliminary encounter
the Georgetown frosh defeated the
Maryland University yearlings,

Wore Self Out

Matte got to Louis in the first
round, but was so exhausted
from his own fury that he was
almost a stationary target for
Joe m the second and third.
The fickleness Of the sport
fans has always been q strange
prospect. When Mann was In
troduced, in fact even before
Balodgh had concluded, the Gar.
den went into pandemonium.
i Louis reception suffered by COM
pariSon.
Ten r1inutes later the Dark
Destroyer was the darling Of the
throng. Human nature is right
frea kish sometimes, particularly
In its mob formations.
Today there will be all sorts
Of second-guesSing as to the
manner in which Matte chose to
fight, but I shall not be among
the two-timers. His best chance

Joe Strikes Back

And last nights fight ought
to be warning to Schmeling
next summer that Joe intends
to take no showing around. He
curlS his lip and bares his fangs
now when they jostle him, and
he strikes back instead OF blink
ing and taking it.
Fact is, In all Of Joe Louis
fights since Schmeling humili-
ated and humbled him, he has
shown signs of improved think
ing. Old Jack Blackburn has
finally impressed on him that
when he's up there under the
lights, he's on his own and
must think his way out Of "Sity-
, ations."
Mike Jacobs came up again
with a spoon, whereby everyone
said six weeks ago he was to
be holding a fork. There seems
to be no limit to his grasp OF
the public fancy.
: If he hasn't got the road clear
now for a championship fight
in the summer, over which
there can be no dispute, then
he'd better call the department
Of highways.
One More RiUer
! There isn't q soul on the
heavyweight horizon who hasn't
been side-tracked by either
Louis or someone Louis has run
up a one-way alley.
Why, to bring this perfect
picture into being Mann, Pas
tor, Ettore, Farr, Sharkey, and
Braddock, young and old, have
faced the acrid Louis, and that's
not forgetting our own Matte
Brown or William Martin Gal
lagher.
Now the path is clear for the
big summer extravaganza. Scat
ter the sawdust. Pitch the
tents. Unfurl the flags and
bunting. We're going to reach
back into the previous decade
and resurrect the million-dollar
gate.
Can Louis ever under the sun
beat Schmeling?
Has Herr Make got that
psychological som ct hin g on
Louis-tha at something that
makes us all Shudder when we
pass a graveyard?
Those are the questions.
And the stage is set.
It's one more river-Joe!

There will be no opportunity to
qualify for the June primary for

failed to pay the poll tax, are Civ
en- until May 10 to paw the tax
and complete their qualifications.
From that time on there will be
