To BuckneII, 8.47
Tilt Tomorrow Should
Tell ReoI CoIiber
Of Eagle Squod

Although American University's
basket ball team dropped its opener
to Bucknell last night, 36 to At, the
players and Coach Staff Cassell are
eager to meet Georgetown tomorrow
night in game that should prove
whether the Eagles really are Of
high caliber.
With the squad enjoying the ex-
perience of the Bucknell game,
Cashell feels that the team might
reverse the licking it took last win
ter from the Hoyas.
Although Bucknell, tuned by two
previous games. managed to come
from behind to win, it failed to
dampen the Eagles spirit.
Also boasting one OF its finest
teams, Bucknell was forced to go at
full speed until the last minute,
when Coach Nal Musser sent in sew
eral reserves. BY that time Capt.
Joe Buzas, Fred Fahringer and Bob
Longacker had given the winners a
safe lead, each having scored con-
sistently.
The Eagles jumped into an early
lead, lost it and then came back to
give its followers hope. Carl Byham,
Capt. George Brown and Hugo
Outch Schulze did some f1ashy
work, but were unable to stave off
the visitors, who led, 27 to 18, at the
half.

Learning Chess.

Tonight at o'clock E. M. Knapp
will deliver a free, public lecture on
the Middle Game in Chess" at 1886
I street. The average beginner at
chess does not understand that a
single game has three separate
stages of play: First, the Opening,
which comprises about eight moves;
second, the Middle Game, which
consists of combinations, positional
maneuvers, tactics and strategy that
seek to maintain the advantages
gained in the Opening and to i'm
prove on them, and, third, the End
game, which phase finds a king,
pawn or two, perhaps aided by
knight or a bishop or a major piece,
opposed to a greater or less COM
bination of forces with victory or
defeat hanging by . thread.
Thousands of books have been
written on the art and science OF

Tulane undoubtedly has the mar
gin in backfield speed. The Green
Wave can feed you 8 or 10 backs
who can move at top speed. Texas
A. and M. has more power than
speed in her backfield attack. Both
In the way of manpower carry Just
about as much tonnage as any of

Either team with a star passer
would be almost unbeatable-a
Christman, Stirnweiss, Lalanne,
q Davey O'Brien. Columbia gained
more ground against Tulane, al
though almost completely smoth-
cred by manpower, than against
many other teams.
Tulane and Texas A. and M. have
had the big bulge in manpoWer over
their 1889 opponents. So it is fit-
ting to have each team evenly
matched in this respect when they
come together.
After a busy visit, I know the
Southwest considers Texas A. and M
an unbeatable combination. I also
know the deep South is riding high
and strong back of Tulane.

chess; general treatises that make
a mere game appear to be a mill
tary science. The beginner is con-
fused as he turns over the pages
questing for a principle here and
there that will serve as a guide for
self-betterment. Only the most ana
lytical of minds can separate the
wheat from the chaff. Only the
master recognizes the fallibility Of
the treatise penned by another
master.
But modern experts have aban-
doned writings of a general nature
to provide special studies of integ-
raj components of chess-play. Now,
the beginner may select a book on
chess humor, on the history of the
game, on elementary instruction,
advanced strategy; he may choose
a book that deals only with the
Opening, or the Middle Game, or
the Endgame, or the art of COM
bination, or the masterful guile and
cunning of pitfalls and traps. In
struction is available in each special
branch of chess and in each sepa-
rate stage of actual play.
There are good books and poorly
written studies. Few experts can
treat equally well more than one
branch or phase of chess It is our
opinion that Eugene Znosko Borrow
sky is the outstanding "chess-in-a all
its-phases" analyst of modern
times. He has covered practically
every stage in overtime board play.
If books require too much of your
time and still you wish to improve
your chess ability, then there is the
easier road to travel: instruction by
those who have read the books and
who have risen from the ranks to
become kleiner meisters and ma
tional masters in their own right.
Washington boasts two interna-
tional experts, namely: I. S. Tur-
over and Albert w. Fox. Washing
ton also has at least Is kleiner

privilege of hearing one of them,

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 13.-Take it
from Henry Picard, who should
know, the big time tournament golf
ing grind is getting tougher each
year
More and more good young golf
ers with fire and ambition are
knocking at the door," said Picard
P. G. A. champion and the years
top golfer to date. The leaders

even a trif1e for fear of getting

He was on the practice green rap

touch he will need in the $4,000
Miami Open starting tomorrow
Picard nodded to the other side of
the green.
Cannot Relax Any More.
"See that fellow, over there" he
said. That's Henry Poe, who is
about ready to hit the headlines.
And there are any number of others,
such as Ben Hogan, Clayton Heaf-
ner, Jimmy McHale and Charles
Failow, who are always in condition,
always practicing, always getting
better.
There may have been a time,
Picard said. when a top golfer could
dissipate before a tournament and
still win.
That was because the competition
wasn't nearly as keen" he asserted.
The stars were so much better than
the rest of the golfers that they
could waste a few shots and still
win. We can't do that nowadays
especially those of us who are slow
ing down somewhat physically"
For that reason, said the Hershey,

Not only are there more tourna-
ments, the P. G. A. king declared,
but the number of playing pros has
more than doubled in the last 10
years-from about 200 to more than

tition is something fierce.

Probably the only horse with a
chance to upset Smacko is Gay

Gently purchased by Capt. John
Collier from w. B. Bogert of Kes-
wick. This veteran has a record of
brilliant performances and while
his new owner admits that the horse
is a bit hard to handle the manner
in which he has schooled makes
some believe that if Smacko is
beaten he will be the one to do it.
According to Capt. Collier Gay
Cockade is going as good or better
now than ever before, at least as far
as getting over the jumps is con-
cerned. The only catch is that
sometimes he rushes his fences.
When the fall season was nearing
a close Lisbeth Steig's Hi-Ho was
showing great form, but her efforts
at the New York show were dis

should she suddenly hit her true
stride she could make it interesting

Margaret Cotter who will miss her
first Fort Myer show because of a
recent back operation, will not de-
fend his hunter title, and with
most of the Warrenton and Middle

the hunter division offers little class.
Only Mrs. D. N. Lees Red Fox and
