Tomorrow is the biggest day yet
for scholastic basket ball in and
around Washington. No less than
II games will be played. Featured,
of course, are the two champion
ship series night games at Tech.
Woodrow Wilson meets Anacostia
in the opener, at 7:30 pm, followed
by Rooevelt and Western. OF these
only Anacostia played on Tuesday,
when the tourney opened. and it lost
heart-breaker to Central.
The Indians plan to stage come
back and put themselves. in the
running for the play-of.- Mondays
loss was on foul so close possibly
it should not have been called.
If any surprise is pulled in the
series Anacostia probably will be
the outfit to do it. The team is
well coached by Julian Colangelo,
and 1t went through tough condi-
tioning schedule. Such players as
Perry Seaman. Lambert Anderson
and Johnny Places are the type
of shooters that can pull almost any
game out of the fire.
Among the other feature clashes
tomorrow is the ST. Johns game at
Bethesda Chevy Chase. The john
nies spanked the Lelands last year
and eliminated them from The
Star metropolitan championship
tournament, and the Lelands
haven't forgotten.
Tech Gridders Rewarded.
Rusty Thompson at Tech had
enough football players last fall for
three teams and he made frequent
requirements. Result of this Is
shown in the list of 10 players who
yesterday received their gridiron
letters at special school assembly.
Most schools have but dozen or so
VINO played enough games to earn
the monogram.
Letter men are Alven Keefouver,
Ryan Souther, Reid Burgess, Bill
Miller. Bill Benner. Bud Fletcher,
Bud Pope, Fred Bach, Harold Berry,
Paul Dean, John Gilmore, Bill
Planer, John Hartman. John Buck
ley, Don Cockrille, Frank Swarr,
Jim Miller, Ralph Sliney, Whitley
Hall and Dick Whelton, manager.
Fred Bach, who was selected on
The Stars All-High team at full
back, was elected honorary captain.
Rumor at Tech says he will be at
Annapolis in a Plebes uniform next
fall.
Wherever you look on Gonzaga's
track squad you see an ODonnell.
The three brothers. Lane, Bill and
Bob, are out practicing every after
noon, weather permitting, in the
schools big back yard. Father Dali
ton, S. j., is coaching the squad.
Other member of the Purple squad
are Fred Calaf, Francis Rapp and
Jack Walsh. They plan to enter
the Catholic University indoor track
carnival on March 4, and probably
will take part in several other meets
around the city.
Central Tourney Hit.
Phil Fox, former Central eager
and now physical ed teacher there,
is conducting a hot intersectional
basket ball tournament at the Thir-
teenth street school, and although 1t
primarily is not intended that way
1t probably will serve as feeder"
and proving ground for future Blue
and White players.
Fox and Hardy Pearce, the schools
football coach, organized the tourney
with 80 sections represented. The
one defeat and out system has elm
mated Is, and more are being weed
ed every Monday and Thursday.
No admission fee is charged to see
the games, and student turnouts are
almost as heavy as at the schools
regular outside clashes. Upper
semesters are bracketed together, as
are the lowers. and the winner of
each group will meet in about a
month for the school championship.
1T gives about $50 boys a chance
to play basket ball." says Fox, "and
they put into practice what they
learn in gym class"
CathOllc Game Postponed.
Georgetown Prep postponed its
game at Gonzaga yesterday because
of the Storm, making the st. Johns
Gonzaga clash next week the official
opener of the unofficial Catholic
prep basket series. The postponed
meeting probably will be held some
time in February after exams are
over.

schedule. The Dewitt game todav
will be played at 8 pm. instead of
$3.50; game has been scheduled at
