 According to reports of the Ger man U-boat captain, the torpedoing of the battleship Royal Oak and the (battle) cruiser Repulse occurred in Scapa Flow"

 It was asserted today on the basis of detailed reports, that the German attack in the Firth of Forth on the eas coast of Scotland was a com- plete surprise, and that the first squadron of German planes to ar- rive was not even fired on by anti aircraft guns until 1t went into acc ton.

 A third wave of German planes also went into a power dive and scored hit, it was asserted.

The man who ViSualiZed a fu-
ture in coaching football at Amer
ican University when he saw an
Eagle eleven beat George Washing
ton back in 1929 was appointed head
grid coach at the Massachusetts,
avenue school today.
He is George Menke. 31-year- old
Washington-born youth. who was
captain Of Catholic University S
football team in 1880, when he COM
pleted three years of sterling guard
play for the Cardinals.
They say that Menke was so in
spired at the sight of A. U. beating
his alma matters dearest rival the
year that G.. w. broke athletic rela-
tionships with C. U. that he applied
to Walter Young. then athletic di-
rector at American, for an assistant
coach's job without pay. Whether
he started out on that basis is con-
jectural, but, because he has COM
pleted nearly decade of service at
A. u, he holds the distinction OF
being connected with local COL
lege in a football capacity longer
than any man now on the scene.
That A. q. victory over G. w. came
during Jim Pixlee's first year at the
downtown institution, when all the
emphasis was laid on the new fresh
men and Maud Crum's last varsity

American U. defeated G. W.. 80, in
a Saturday morning game played at
Eastern High Stadium
Menke, who attended Gonzaga
High School, but did not play foot
ball until entering C. u, was the
first District resident ever to cap
tain a Cardinal team in any sport.
He took his A. B. degree in COM
merce in 1881 and returned to re-
ceive his M. A. degree in history.
Menke later studied at the Uni
versity of Berlin, although taking no
degree there.
At American. the exc. U. star
worked under Young for five years
and under Gus Welch, resigned ath-
letic director and head coach whom
he replaces, the last two. He is ex-
tremely popular with the students
and his choice is expected to be as
pleasing as was Staff Cassell's ap-
pointment as athletic director sew
eral weeks ago.
A. U. officials said that Menke
would name his own assistants. Dur
ing the off-season he is employed in
the Montgomery County accountant S
Office. and is reputed to have quite
a fair for politics Menke lives just
over the District line in Silver

New York Likely to Be
Picked in Decision
To Be Made Today
Py the Associated Press,

NEW YORK, March 14:-With
Philadelphia and New Jersey holler-
ing loudly for the fight, the burning
question of where the Tony Galento-
Joe Louis heavyweight champion
ship bout will be held is due to be
settled some time today when the
New York State Athletic Commits
sion convenes.
Although one commissioner, Bill
Brown, has condemned the affair
because of Galento's physical shape,
1t is quite likely the fight will be
held in New York on the commits
sion's approval and that Promoter
Mike Jacobs will set the site as
Yankee Stadium and the date as
some time late in June.
Herman Taylor, the Philadelphia
promoter, wired Jacobs yesterday
pleading the fight be held there and
Abe Greene, the New Jersey State
boxing commissioner, put in q boost
for his State as the site.
Taylor wire, "Galento is a bigger
attraction in Philadelphia than
elsewhere" and spoke largely of a
tremendous gate for the show.
Greene said the New Jersey Legis-
lature had empowered him to cut
the State tax from 10 to per cent
of the gate if the fight went to
Jersey. He also said several promi-
nent men were interested in con-
struction of an arena near Pater-
son.
Joe Foley, Chicago promoter,
wired Mike last week to consider
that city in his plans for the fight.

NEW YORK, March 14.-A mere
handful of survivors-to be exact, 80
well-tested scrappers representing
II cities-swing into action tonight
in the last two rounds of the Daily
News Golden Gloves tournament
of champions" at Madison Square
Garden.
Two more sessions in each of the
eight classes will end the tourney
tonight and decide the champions
who will oppose the winners of the
Western Golden Gloves tournament
in the inter-city series at Chicago.
At least the field. which started out
with about 10000 youngsters seek
ing places on the various sectional
teams in the East and South, has
been cut down to the point where
all the bouts can be fought in one
ring.
Forced to Double Up.
They had to double up last night,
as the 120 representatives of 16
cities struggled through two rounds
to reach the semi finals. There were
13 knockouts and enough punches to
make every one of the 1885 specta-
tors dizzy. But only three fighters
emerged as StandoutS.
They were Bill Speary of Nanti-
coke, twice national champion at
l12 pounds, who is representing
Philadelphia in the 118-pound di-
vision; Joe Golombeck, fullback on
the Elon College football team, fight
ing for Charlotte, NJ c., and Buddy
Moore, New York Negro, who looks
like Joe Louis and hits something
like Joe did in his amateur days.
Speary needed little more than
two minutes to dispose of two rivals
by the technical Knockout route.
Golombeck, who halls from Ports
mouth, Va, gave one of the best
heavyweight performances as he
knocked out Wallace Cross of Perth
Amboy, N. j., in two rounds, then
easily outpointed A. Standjeski of
Long Island. Moore, who drew
first round bye, kayoed Jim Dechard
of Washington in the first round of
the quarter-flina
Along with Speary, Philadelphia
sent five others into the quarter
finals. New York also had six sur
vivors and Newark, N. j., and Char
lotte four each; Fassaic, N. j., West
chester County, N. Y, Atlanta, and
Union City, N. j., two apiece and
Richmond, Va, Perth Amboy, N. j.,
and Newburgh, N. Y, each had one
semi -finalist.
Jackie Claggett, lightweight, was
the only other Washington fighter
to survive the first round and he was
eliminated by Ennis johnson of
Richmond in the second round by
decision. Capital City losers were
Grover Davis, Willie Tapp, Gilbert
Mayo, Billy Kekeris and Jim Perrow.

Second Rover-OrioIe
Game in Week to Be
Tip on Patronage
By BURTON HAWKINS.

Washington's willingness, or lack
of it, to patronize two hockey games
within week, which would be
necessary should the District OBJ
tain a franchise in the Eastern
League next year, will be tested
tonight by Promoter Ray Avis when
the New York Rangers collide with
the Baltimore Orioles at Riverside
7tadium at $3.50 o'clock.
Il want to see if the city will
support two games week as a
steady diet before risking money in
franchise" said Alvis. IF We
enter the Eastern League, We'll
have to play 40 games and, of course
we'll have to do something about
outfoxing the weather.
I'VE can eliminate snow and rain
continued the effervescent promoter
with huge canvas top. A similar
arrangement has worked we'll in
Cleveland. and doubtless would
solve our problem here"
Indications that Alvis anticipates
no slump in the more than 7,OOC
attendance last week when the Ori-
oles trounced the Rovers, 4-3, is mir
rored in the fact that 1000 addi-
tional seats have been installed and
Is more ushers hired, bringing the
total to So.
The Orioles, in the midst of a
scoring spree, will be favorites over
the Rovers, who clinched the East
ern League title last week, and
are leading the Rovers in the post
season series for the coveted Walker

which will be launched by John

MiIIner Will Tutor End
Candidates at G, u.

Another Redskin had accepted a

unlike the circumstances surround

it will not affect his continued play
with the former champions.
Wayne Millner has signed a con-
tract to coach the end candidates
at Catholic University. whose spring
training opened yesterday. It is
thought that Millner will continue
his tutelage in the fall. Inasmuch
as the Redskins practice in the

Redskins have returned from their
training base at Spokane, Wash.
