East Major College
Basket Ball Loops
Open Campaigns
Mountoineers TockIe
Skibos, Penn Faces
Cornell Tonight
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. THE East's
two major college basket ball cir
cults open their 1889 seasons to-
night with one game in each loop.
Pennsylvania and Cornell meet at
Philadelphia in the Eastern Inter-
collegiate League curtain-raiser,
while Carnegie Tech and West Vir-
ginia open the Eastern Intercolle-
giate conference campaign at Pitts
burgh.
Cornell is one of the favorites in
the league race, won last year by
Dartmouth, although the Big Red
team has lost four of nine tuneup
games under its new coach, Blair
Gullion. Penn is rated q dark
horse" so far having played only
one game, which it won from Mary
land. Dartmouth is the preseason
choice to retain the league crown.
West Virginia also is operating
under new coach this season, Dick
Raese, former Mountaineer star, but
he found some experienced material
to work with, and the team should
be more of threat than was last
years cellar outfit. Carnegie Tech
has been handicapped by the alb
sence Of Ray Carnelly and Mel
Cratsley, whose attention was de-
voted to the Sugar Bowl football
game up to last Monday. They may
see some action tonight. The Tar
tans, however, have won three out
Of four games, losing only to West
minister.

But Coppon, New Coach; Holds
Court Outlook Only Hopeful

Elizabeth, N. j. Johnny didn't see
action in the first three games of
the 1938-39 season, for he was re-
covering from an operation. The
Tigers beat Dickinson and Lafayette,
but lost 1925 decision to their
arch New Jersey rivals. Rutgers. He
joined up for a brief Southern trip
which brought victory over North
Carolina and trimming by Duke.
Carmichael Bids for Berth.
That quintet, Cappon said, shapes
up as the front line of the squad,
unless one of the five eventually is
forced to yield his place to the
promising Dan Carmichael of Co.
lumbus. Ohio. captain of the 1878
freshman team. Cappon regards
Carmichael as the best ball-handler
on the squad. All he apparently
lacks for first-string caliber is more
experience and Cappon indicates
hell see that Carmichael acquires it,
Others making strong bids for
starting positions include Bob Stew
art Of Glen Ridge. N. j.. and Bob
Jordan, e-fod ~ center from
Brooklyn.
Cappy devoted practice sessions
before the holiday trip almost en-
tirely to ball-handling. He declared
frankly that he wasn't pleased with
this department of the teams play
He's still experimenting with an at
tack. He's made no attempt to con-
ceal that he strongly favors a slow

Aiding Blind Today
In Grid Battle

Washington's first football game
Of 1899, or its last of the 1859 sea-
son, was to be played at Catholic
University Stadium this afternoon
as two sandlot teams met in a 100
per cent charity game
With all Of the proceeds going to
the Washington Society for the
Blind, an all-star aggregation which
has drawn its members from six of
the city's outstanding teams and the
Warwick A. G. were to line up for
the battle at 2:15 o'clock.
The rival teams we're to be coached
by two gridders well known to
Washington, for Charley Malone,
crack end Of the Redskins, was to
direct the Warwicks while John jan
kowski, former G. U. star, was to be
on the coach's seat on the all-star
bench.
The game is thought to be the
first in the District that has re-
ceived donations Of every item con-
nected with q football game. The
players and coaches are donating
their services, the officials are work
ing without pay, G. US Stadium Il
being used without rental charges
players equipment is being fur
nished by sporting goods store, and
soft drinks and edibles which will be
sold were given by various mer-
chants. The Metropolitan Police

PRINCETON, N. j., Jan. T.
Princeton's new basket ball coach,
Franklin S. (Cappy) Cappon, can't
be lured into making forecast on
the chances of the Tiger quintet in
the 1899 Eastern intercollegiate
League campaign beyond expressing
the hope" that we'll do better
than last year."
He hopes" the Tigers will i'm
prove upon their 1898 sixth place in
the seven-team league. Last year
they finished one notch above Yale.
Cappon, who played football and
basket ball at Michigan and coached
the Wolverine five for seven years
before succeeding Ken Fairman
here, will go into the first game of
the campaign on January II against
Harvard at Cambridge, Mass. with
five lettermen and handful of sea-
soned spares.
Veteran Five Apt to Start.
Despite the loss through gradua-
tion of Johnny Vruwink, who cap
tained last years team, Cappon
probably will launch his league in
augural with a veteran five, built
around Capt. Giles Scofield, lanky
Rochester, N. Y, senior. Scofield, a
center, was the 80 teams leading
scorer. y
Other veterans are Ed Hobler of
Stamford, Conn: Eddie Green of
Brooklyn, Dave Lloyd, a native of

just want an engine to build boat

The larger boats are miniature
kitchenette apartments, done in rich
mahogany, which makes you wish
you had a bannister that slick to
slide down. They have stoves,
bathrooms, hunks, electric ice boxes,
radios and corners to tuck away any
thing from deck of cards to q deck
chair.
Colors Mostly Conservative.
. The speed of the more sedate
numbers runs up to 20 miles an
hour, or. to the seawise, knots to

The colors are more or less con-
servative, the usual combination
consisting of a white hull trimmed
in red or blue and topped by a ma
hogany cabin, but one dazzling sea-
biscuit had boudoir pink motif, and
with few candles on top would
have looked like birthday cake
for the captains son.

sented in the exhibits of boats and
accessories, their agents standing

Confusion. 10 Follow
New Pitching Rule,
Allen Predicts
Feors Mixed Decisions
By Umpires;; Sore Arms
Loid to Lively Boil
By the Associated Press.

oJ LIE 1ASSoS4GtCu 14Coss
CLEVELAND, Jan. Johnny
Allen thought today about the new
baseball rule allowing pitchers to
take one foot off the slab, and
Nsioned umpires to the left of him,
umpires to the right of him, volley-
ing and laundering.
1T will be a mess" he declared.
The Cleveland Indians ace
moundsman, who never has been ac-
cused of inviting an umpire along
on a vacation jaunt, couldn't decide
il the rule would be allowed to help
the pitcher.
"A lot of them are going to de-
velop cantankerous windups and
steal couple of feet on each
pitch" he predicted. His right elbow
was in a cast from an operation
this week, so he demonstrated with
his left.
"The pitchers will be bothering
the batter. So the urnpires will be
out there making a lot of decisions
on what you can do and what you
can't. Nobody will know where he
stands"
The tall fireball artist fired away
at the ''lively ball" as the cause of
a flock Of trouble to flock of famed
pitching arms. He who turns in VIC
tories like mechanical man
averred that baseballs rule makers
have made a robot out of the
pitcher"
Allen prodded his memory as he
paced his hospital room, putting at
one Of his 10-odd pipes.
I'm the last year Wes Ferrell,
Spurgeon Chandler, Hall Schu-
macher, Clint Brown, Carl Hubbell
and I all have had operations. And
Lefty Groves arm went bad.
1.-THE wear and tear is too much.
They've taken 50 much away from
the pitcher it's the survival of the
few. The trouble is all in the ball
it's out Of proportion. It makes you
bear down from start to finish"

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-Billy Conn,
a 21-year-old Irisher from Pitts
burgh and fine piece OF fighting
machinery, today had vaulted into
the forefront of the Nations nstic
prospects.
Making his first appearance in
Madison Square Garden, the tall
boy from the West scored a unan-
imous decision over Fred Apostoh,
who Is recognized by the New York
and California commissions as mid
dleweight champion, before 1000
fans last night.
The result did nothing toward
clearing up the muddled middle
weight situation, for Conn probably
weighed ITO pounds when he en-
tered the ring, compared to Apos-
tolls legitimate 16O. But it estab-
lished Conn as a genuinely fine
fighter, a man to be reckoned with
in heavyweight circles within an
other year.
Battle Is Brutal.
The pair put up brutal fight. and
the result was in doubt right up to
the final round on the Associated
Press score card. In the end Conns

deadly left hook that Apostoli never
managed to avoid swung the bal

They went at it like longshoremen
for all of the 10 rounds, with the
sturdy Apostoli boring in and swing
ing and his cool opponent blazing
back with his left. There were no
knockdowns, but both we're battered
and bleeding at the finish. The
crowd gave them genuine ovation.
Conn now has licked both of the
middleweight title litigants. He re-

Apostoi carried the fight from

Conn fought back. Time and again
Apostoli's rushing tactics would en-

of the fight.

NEW YORK, Jan. Its a tough
spot for an inlander who gets sea-
sick looking at a double-deck sand
wich, but this corner got along all
right at the 24th annual national
motor boat show until it was time
to weigh anchor. We couldn't even
lift 1t.
The show was previewed last night
at Grand Central Palace, and 1t still
is something Of a mystery to us how
they ever got so many boats on dry
land without q hurricane. Plenty of
tugs, no doubt.
There are $50 of these floating
assets arranged on two floors of the
palace, a barn of a place with pillars
big enough to hold up the sky with
. little encouragement. The hollow
stare the visitor gets on entering is
from the portfolios of some OF the
more elaborate gondolas. They wink
when q buyer comes in sight.
The boats are of all sizes and
shapes. There is q bathtub-size
water lily, probably a duck boat and
just about big enough for one. There
are dinghies and dories, inboards and
outboards, sailboats and rowboats
punts and passes.

There are pug-nosed boats built to
ride the swells, and long-snouted
limousines for the swells to ride
