DUKE MOVES ON
TO ANNAPOLIS
FOR Navy TILT

Duke University's touring bas.
ketball team moves to Annapolis
today for a game with the some
what mysterious Navy quintet.
The game is carded for 2:30
o'clock and will be followed by a
battle featuring the debut of the
Middle Plebes and Eastern High
School at o'clock.
Navy has broken even in its
two games this campaign, losing
it's opener to a smartly- coached
Gettysburg College five, but COM
ing back last Wednesday to topple
Maryland.
From all indications, Navy
should win the game as Duke was
defeated by Maryland last night
at College Park, 37-34. But then,
like football, comparisons Of cage
scores mean little.
Besides the Duke-Navy basket
ball game, st. Johns of An.
napoliS plays New York Univer,
Sity tonight.
Maryland's victory over Duke
was a tonic for the Terps as it
snapped them out of a losing
streak that had stretched to three
straight games. OF course these
defeats were sustained on foreign
courts, but even so, a defeat is a
defeat regardless of where it is
dealt.
To Eddie Johnson, son of the
famous Walter Johnson, and
George Kneply, All7Southern Con,
ference guard, goes the credit of
bagging last nights victory for the
Old Liners as each dropped II
points through the hoop. However
individual game honors must go to
Russ Bergman, squatty Blue Devil
dribbler, who connected for II
points and kept his team in the
running.
For a Duke victory today in
order to break even on its weekend
trip in Maryland, the Blue Devils
must stop Center George Ghes,
quiere and Captain Bob Laney,
high-scoring members of the Tar
brigade.
Maryland University's basket
ball team, fresh from it's victory
over Duke University last night
swings back into action tonight at
College Park, when it takes on the
Hampden-Sydney cagers starting
at 8:15 o'clock.
This game was scheduled espe
cially for the infantle paralysis
funds. 1t was Cancelled last Mon.

Horton Smith in
Coast Golf Lead

OAKLAND, Cal, Jan. IA G.N.SD
Horton Smith, veteran Chicago
linksman, held a twostroke lead
over the field today as the second
half of the Oakland open golf
tournament began.
He posted a 68 yesterday for a
two-round total of 1876 to take the
lead at the halfway mark of the
72-hole, $4,000 event. Pressing
him closely were Ben Hogan, Of
White Plains, N. Y; Sam Snead,
of West Virginia, and Marvin
Ward, of Olympia, Wash, all with
1873. Ward is an amateur.
Grouped behind the leaders at

Ruth Says Homer
Mark viii Stand

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Take
it from Babe Ruth, the King of
Swat, his record of so home
runs in a season is not likely to
be broken this year, next year
or any year Of the current gen.
Grafton of ballplayerS.
Looks like the boys will have
to shoot for some time to beat
my record" says Babe. Sixty is
about the limit for a regular
schedule. Now that they've
raised the stitches on the ball,
the pitchers are going to show
the hitters a much better curve
and don't let anyone tell you
that good curve is easier to
hit than a fast one.
1T wouldn't surprise me to
see batting averages slump a
little this year and if the boys
aren't getting as many base
hits, it stands to reason they
won't get many homers."

But the struggle will be to keep
racing on high plane OF sport,
rather than to let it be governed
by unscrupulous money-maklng
bodies that have entered the sport
through the connivance of grade B
politicians.
There have been predictions
that racing in New England is on
its way out, but let's hope that
the recent elections will make a
decided change in the operation
of some tracks in that territory.
Some have gone so far as to pre-
dict that racing throughout the
country cannot survive the STEP
ping-up of breeding production, but
with such men as Alfred GWynne
Vanderbilt of Pimlico, Md. Will
liam du Pont of Delaware; Charles
Strub of Santa Anita, Calf, and
Joseph E. Widener of New York
and Florida, racing is bound to
last.
When we stop to consider the
thoroughbreds that have made
history on the American turf since
evolution ary days, such as
Othello, Selma, Boston, LeXlng-
ton and others on down to our
present era, can we really brand
the thoroughbred of today of bet
ter quality? And yet the stakes
have been multiplied in value
more than a hundred times, with
the claiming purses of today d
much larger purse than handicaps
Of other days.
NOT INFALLIBLE
The cry has been that breeders
do not breed the right kind OF
horses. Where is the horseman
that can infallibly predict the fu-
ture career of any horse or mare
in the stud, or auction-sale year
ling. Our horses of today have
been trained for speed rather
than endurance, and while one
sire may get" more stayers than
another, he is just as apt to come
up with a sprinter. Where is the
stallion that has produced larger
number of stake horses than he
has selling platers? Even at the
best tracks there is one handicap
and allowance race to every five
or six selling races. showing that
the select horses are much in
the minority.
If there are no races for these
cheaper horses, what is to hap
pen to them, and what will the
breeders do in order to produce
nothing but handicap thorough
breds? The breeder may select
the most brilliant mare, such as
Regret, the only filly ever to have
= won the Kentucky Derby; Her
Grace, Princess Doreen, My Dear,
and others of like caliber and
breeC to the best stallion avail
able, and the get could be abso-
lutely nil. Such destinies are be-
yond the control of man.
