Johnson AcclAlmed
MiIIr0Se StAndOut

NEW YORK, Feb. 7 Q.N.SJ.
The acclaim that Europe show
cred unstintingly upon Ben
johnson, of Columbia, last year
was at last finding its American
counterpart today.
His indoor world records of
six seconds flat for 90 yards in
the Millrose games won him the
outstanding performer" award,
decided by a ballot Of eight
sports writer's, ahead Of Jim
Herbert and Glenn Cunning
ham, who were tied for second.
Several observers on the track
questioned the validity Of John
sons performance because his
back foot made contact with the
border Of the track at the start.
This attempt to discredit his
feat is based on the contention
that he used the track-border as
q starting block. The weight OF
evidence appears to be against
that argument. Several experts
say that the contact with the

Jewish scrapper, who faces

Camarata is strictly a boxer, has
beautiful footwork, and loves to
trade punches. He does not back
away, and thus in tonight's match
the Italian protege of Mr.. Christie
pher Dundee is expected to do
most of the leading.
SEEKS TITLE
Incidentally, Mr.. Dundee, who
almost steered Ken Overlin to the
top in the middleweight division,
came to town last night, and al
low as how he had the next
lightweight champion of the
world. He said that Eastern
critics we're plenty generous in
their praises of little Mickey, most
of them predicting that he would
be the lightweight sensation of
1898.
Although Camarata had quite a
battle with Vernon Cormier at
the Arena last month, the New
Orleans boy had no trouble win

CONFERENCE TILT
Georgetown Must Win
To Stay in Loop
Cage Race
By CHICK KENNY


West Virginia University's
dribbling Mountaineers come to
town today, and this evening line
up against Georgetown University
in the Tech High gym in a game,
the receipts Of which, will be
turned over to the Presidents
birthday fund to stamp out in.
fantile paralysis. The battle is
billed to get underway at $3.50
o'clock.
This Is an Eastern Conference
tilt, and from all indications
Georgetown Is q decided favorite
to trip the invading Blue and
Gold machine, and to return to its
winning ways halted so abruptly
two weeks ago by Penn State in
the Allegheny Mountains. Since
knocking off the strong Pittsburgh
Panthers in Smoketown early last
month, the Hilltoppers have been
floundering around the East a
little worse for wear. In a row, the
Hoyas have been nicely trimmed
by Penn State (twice), Syracuse,
Army, and Fordham. and it's
about time the club snaps out of
it with a bundle of points for a
win. They don't come any better
than this G. U. team, and lose so
many games In a row.
PROVIDES IMPETUS
West Virginia should provide
the impetus for launching a win
ming streak tonight for George
town, that should set it right for
the hard conference games that
are billed for the end Of this
week.
The Mountaineers having been
pretty ragged themselves this sea-
son, having yet to break out with
a victory this year in the confer
ence. The club was broken up
before the start of the season
when the Morgantown outfit &C.
cepted a poSt-SeaSon football game,
which required the services of
Football Coach Sleepy Glenn and
a block Of the members Of the
team who were on the roster of
the eleven. AS result, West Vir-
ginia barged into its current cam
paign without practice, players
and coach.
The HillybillieS feel the absence
this year of Red Cooke and Squint
PhareS, individual scoring leaders
Of 1887, but during the last few
g a m eS H AIRY Lothes, Homer
Brooks and Marcus, holdovers
from last year, have been showing
ST. ady improvement and may
cause the Hoya team plenty Of
trouble extensively as well as de-
fensively tonight.
CRUCIAL TEST
AS Georgetown goes tonight, so
may it go throughout the re-
mainder Of the season in the dash
for the conference championship,
At present the team is resting in
fourth place in the circuit stand
ingS, with two wins and two de-
featS, and, therefore, must not be
counted out of the running. A
victory tonight and two more the
coming weekend will place Coach
Freddy Mesmer'S team within
striking distance Of the loop lead
for a grand dash in the final
stages of the race to grab the title.
No changes are contemplated by
Mesmer in tonight's Georgetown
lineup. Ed Kurtyka and Harry
Bassin, will probably handle the
forward berths, with Capt. Mike
Petroskey, who played a great
game last Saturday night against
Penn State, holding down the tap,
and the dependable Tommy Nolan
and Joe Murphy, leading scorer
of the team, in the guard slots.

would have been positively
shameful had not Wayne MILL
ner intercepted a Bear lateral
pass within a few feet OF the
goal and fallen over for 'tne
only Redskin touchdown.
Previously, in the second quar-
ter, the Redskins had hung up
the very first points Of the game
when Riley Smith kicked a tle!o
goal from the 3S-yard line, fairy
taking the breath of the 7,774
paid patrons.
The above describes how the
scoring started and ended, ex-
cept, of course, conceding that
Riley added the point after Mill
ner's last second miracle; but in
between, my friends, it was mu-
tiny, and even the referee did
not escape the mayhem.
GaUe Right Names
Briefly, it was one Of those
old-time Sunday picnics which
started temperately enough but
wound up in a free-for-all.
-Four players were thrown out
of the game for each side be-
cause, well, because one blow
led to another. The police blot
ter. had the gendarmes been
called, would have carried Such
names as Les OLSON, Bob NC
Chesney, George Smith and Don
Irwin, on the one side.
On the other, such as Russ
Thompson, George Wilson, Bill
Karr and Edgar Manske were
identified as ruffians, granted
that all gave their right names
their general delivery addresses
are Chicago, Ill.
AS to the caliber of play, it
can best be described by the
statement that the Bears looked
more like the Redskins and the
latter less like themselves than
at any time since the Philly
Eagles beat washington at home
by IA to 0.
That is to say it was the Bears
that played alert, heads-up foot
ball, taking advantage Of breaks
and, in fact, creating many on
their own account.
