Conn. Girls Set World Pin Record
SCORING DUEL
FAILS AS C. U,
five LOSES 9Th

The high scoring duel between
Wayne Ambrose, the D. c. col.
legiate point king of Catholic u,
and George Duzminski, Villa
nova's high-scoring champion of
the college set of Philadelphia,
failed to take place last night. 1t
was supposed to be the reason why
more than 1000 court fans turned
out for the fray that saw c. u.
take it's straight trimming, 81 to
26.
Neither Sharpshooter started the
game for his respective team. Am
brose fidgeted on the Cardinal
bench throughout the first half,
but DuzminSki entered the fray
midway in the first chapter and
connected for his first field goal
a second or two before the inter
mission set in.
Nevertheless, the Villanova star
took the match, scoring four
points to AmbroSe'S single field
goal. 1t was all very diSappoint-
ing.
C. u. romped off to a 60 lead
and the Birds looked as though
they we're going to spring an upset,
but Villanova quickly tied up the
score and then went ahead at
11-all for keeps. The invading
Wildcat quint led at halftime,
1911.
While the Cards were taking
their usual licking, Georgetown
was busily swapping out of it with
rally in the second half to win
it's game with Loyola at Balti-
more, 1890. The Hoyas were
trailing at halftime, 22-16. and
it wasn't until six minutes re
NAMED before the end of the tilt
that Georgetown was able to knot
the count at 30-all.
Irv Rizzi, G.. us sophomore
guard, led the attack for George
town with Ia points and the vet
eran Joe Schmidt was not far be-
hind with 10. The victory was
the Hoyas' sixth in seven starts.

But it's a new Matte Brown that

Louis but was knocked stiff in

Brown will continue to work out

He has several offers to fight

Horse Dunn waited until he was
certain that it was dark before he
began to count the time. From with
in the concrete walls he could see
no part of the sky, and it was hard
to judge the time when you could
not see even a single star. It was
his intention to wait three hours
more. He supposed that his people
would choose to strike between mid
night and dawn, but he dared not
take any risk. Their first recon-
naissance into the town must find
him long on his Way-whatever way
that was to be. Just as there must
no longer be any dark conceal
ments in the background of Mari
ans life, so it was also impossible
that he allow her the memory of
her fathers brother as a convicted
murderer. Even before the steel
door had closed, shutting away his
last sight of the girl for whom he
had labored SO long and faithfully,
he had made up his mind what he
must do.
With war and violence so close
ahead he knew that he should have
been hearing the Indian medicine
drums in his blood, like an old war
pony smelling battle; but, some
where along the trail, all that
seemed to have gone out of him. He
felt no suspense. His only concern
was that he should not fail in his
Judgment of his time. Once as he
waited a car came roaring into In
spiration and the sound of its ex-
haust, coming to him muff1ed where
he lay in the dark on his bare steel
cot, was indistinguishable from the
voice of Billy Wheeler's roadster.
He started up, fearful that he had
miscalculated, and delayed too long.
But nothing happened; and present
ly he settled back again.
When he judged that most of his
allotted time was gone, he sat up on
the edge of the cot, and drew the
ancient derringer out of his right
boot. His hands automatically test
ed its well oiled action, raising and
1OWGIllS lllG ltciIiitlGA WllilCQL HCA~
cussion against the shell. He had
never liked that weapon; but he had
carried it because it was snub-nosed
and lightly built, and fitted in his
boot where anyone could see that
no gun could go. He pulled off his
left boot. Laid close around his an
kle, and secured there with wrap
of silk handkerchief, he was carry
ing four buckshot loaded shells.
Fired from the snub-nosed derrin-
ger the shot had poor penetration, as
Old Man Coffee had observed; but
at short range the shells delivered a
sufficiently savage blast, as they
had well proved. He now took them
into his hand; and, when he had
pulled his boot on again, he sat
weighing them thoughtfully in his
great fist, and thinking of things
deep in the past.
