APOSTOLI 81
TO BEAT CONN

NEW YORK, Jan. 6 G.N.S0
Fred ApostoH, the former San
Francisco bellhop who is recog-
nized as worlds middleweight
champion in this State, goes after
bigger game tonight when he will
attempt to hand eight or ten
pounds and a beating to Billy
Conn, Pittsburgh lightheavy-
weight, over the 10-round route
at Madison Square Garden.
The betting odds are 2 to l
Apostoli will succeed. He prob
ably will weigh 161 and Conn,
168 or 40.
The betting has been eXcep
tionally heavy on this fight. One
of those who like Conn's chances
is Barney Ross, former light
weight and welterweight cham
pion, who took 500 worth TO the
short end.
Many experts have the still
growing Irishman from Pittsburgh
tabled as the next lightheavy-
weight champion even if he fails
to defeat Apostoli.
Apostoli doesn't mind giving
away weight. Only the interven-
ton of friends prevented him from
taking a punch at Tommy Farr,
the British heavyweight, in the
gym the other day. Farr had
aroused Fred's ire by using the
latter's punching bag as a foot
ball.

But one game removed from the

QUINT LACKING
IN EXPERIENCE

1t probably won't be this year
and 1t may not be next year, but
one Of these days Buch Richard
son is going to turn up with bet
ter than average basketball team
over at Washington-Lee High.
At football, baseball and track
the Little Generals have more
than held their own in this area.
but at basketball-well, the less
said the better.
This year Coach Richardson's s
team is made up largely Of ninth
and tenth grade students, thus
giving him plenty of time to work
with the boys, and the chances
are that by the time these boys
reach the senior year they will be
playing a pretty good brand of
ball.
LACK EXPERIENCE
Lack of previous experience has
hindered the Little Generals in
the past. About the only place in
Arlington county for youngsters
to play basketball was in the
High School gym, and this was
being used by the school most Of
the time. Therefore, the majority
of the youngsters that tried out
FOR basketball had little or no ex-
perience at the game, and by the
time Richardson had them work
ing together, the boys were
through school.
A little different situation pre-
walls now, however. At the new
Arlington Junior High School the
seventh and eighth grades are be-
ing taught the fundamentals OF
the court game. Another favor
able factor is that the various
Arlington boys clubs are sponsoring
a countrywide basketball tourna-
ment in which boys Of all ages
and sizes are participating. All OF
which brings smile to Buck
Richardson's face, because it
means a bigger and better basket
ball era is in the effing over in
Virginia.
GENERALS VS.. MT. RAINIER
The Little Generals go after
their second victory today, facing
Mt. Rainier on the latter's court
at $3.50 p. m. Robert Howell. a
substitute center last year, has
taken over regular berth, and
Richardson is expecting him to be
the spark of the team.
Standout game on today's cal
endar is the one between East
ern and Gonzaga at the Eastern
gym.
Other games find Tech enter
tanning Baltimore City College,
and Dewitt invading Annapolis
High this afternoon, while East
ern plays Montgomery-Blair. and

night.

CROP OF YOUNG
STARS OUT TO
BEAT old MAN
By PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK. Jan. 6 G.N.SD
Glenn Cunningham. who seems to
gain speed as he loses hair, will
be on deck when the gun barks
tomorrow to make the opening of
the indoor track season official
This year a flock of new chal.
lengers will be on hand. eager to
show clean pair of heels to the
king of the tanbark. They may
succeed. but if they do. they will
have to smash few world records
to do it.
A year ago the KanSan opened
hostilities with Alb mile in the
New orleans Sugar Bowl and some
of the eyebrow lifters began to
ready his track obituary.
That they were a little bit pre-
vlous with that obituary may be
cleaned from the fact that there
after he ran that World-famed
Dartmouth Mile in 4:O4.4 and
other miles in 4:O7.4, 4:08.6,
4:09.9 and 4:10.
Only the other day he appeared
in that same Sugar Bowl and
covered the eight furlongs in
4:l0. which may have been a
broad hint to some of these young
sterS who are counting on show
ing up the Old Man this year.
Among the more ambitious
youngsters who are after what is
left of the Old Mans scalp are
John Munski, Missouri Univer-
sity junior who has smashed every
Big Six Conference record Glenn
made at Kansas; Lou Zamperini,
the Coast phenom who has been
clocked in 4:08 for eight panels;
Blaine Rideout, one of the Texas
twins who set new world mark
for three quarters last year; Joe
Mostart, the Belgian who has done
$50 for 1900 meters, the equiva-
lent of a 4:08 mile. and Chuck
Fenske, the Wisconsin ace who
needs only shave and a haircut
to do 4:10 anytime.
Then there will be Glenn's old
shadow, Archie San Romani. and
the unrelenting Gene Venzke.
These lads may break a world
record in their efforts to stop Gun
but it is more likely
they will force the Old Man to
break a few of his own.

Joe fights John Henry Lewis

prove anything more than you

ting a boxing lesson we feel he
should be paying for it and not
the public.
1t is strange that Henry Arm
strong isn't hotter than a mus
tard factory. His record is the
greatest in a century and he is

give away pounds in a division
where an ounce is a flying start.

Just as thoroughly. He won his

DAYS of the Week

It is interesting to trace the ORR
gins of the names of days of the
week. Sunday, of course, was de-
voted to the worship Of the sun, and
Monday was originally MONDAY.
Tuesday (Saxon) Tuesco's day
from Tuesco, mythical person,
supposed to have been the first war;
like leader of the Tuetonic nations.
Among the Romans it was Dies
Martis, the day of Mars, their god
of war. Wednesday (Saxon) Wo-
denis day, the day of Wooden, or
Odin a mythical being of high war
like reputation among the northern
nations. Among the Romans this
day was Mercury's day. Thursday
(Saxon) was dedicated to the Saxon
god Thor, who in his supremacy
over other gods and his attribute
of the Thunderer, corresponds very
exactly with Jupiter, who's day this
was among the Romans. Friday
(Saxon) was named by the Saxon
in honor of the Deity Friga or
Freya. Among the Romans the
day was dedicated to Venus. Satur-
day (Saxon), Saturn, the fast day
of the deity.

Storm Gives Warming

When the sun, which had been
shining brightly all morning, be-
came obscured at midday and a
black pail enshrouded the city, the
$4,000 inhabitants of Bahia Blanca,
Argentina, became terrorized. Rec
objections of recent violent storm
in Cordoba and the earthquake in
Chile added to the frenzy. Streets
and stores were quickly deserted
as people fled to their homes. Iron
shutters of store windows were
closed and automobiles with head
lights on were deserted at the curb,
although street lamps throughout
the city were lighted. Families gath
cred in their living rooms and wait
ed for anything to happen. After
three hours of blackness the tail of
a cyclone struck Bahia Blanca, up
roofing trees, blowing down electric
signs and cutting cables, but no
lives were lost.
