Feller is the outstanding example
among today''s fireballers-Wlld
enough to keep the hitter from dig

Feller has his moments OF un-

of the 48 States have managed 10
give to him, and the cops are IN

Central Takes Boyd
From Eastern High
As Coaching Aide
Developer Of Champions
At Two Schools Made
Successor to Foley

Arthur C. Boyd, veteran schoolboy
coach at Eastern and Tech, will Sue
ceed the popular Bill Foley on Gen.
trails physical education staff to-
morrow when Foley's resignation,
becomes effective.
Foley, who has been in i'll health
for some time, announced his res
ignation early in the school year.
During his 81 years at Central he
became famed as a developer Of
young boys, sending out many
championship track teams.
Coach of Champions.
Boyd's shift from Eastern to Gen.
trail relieves the overcroWded condi-
ton at the Capitol Hill school. It
still has Mike Kelly, Chief Charley
Guyon and Isaac Simons on the
physical education staff, and in ad-.
dition Johnny Mcbride, a metal
working instructor who coaches bas-
ket ball.
From 1928 to 1885 Boyd was basket
ball coach at Tech, and in 1929 and
AOoo tol llCO oOU UWO VI tllC SCIIOOl ,
four championship quints. He was
shifted to Eastern at the beginning
Of the 1856 school year and made
football coach. His team in 1887
brought Eastern the first gridiron
title it had won since it took the
first series in 1892.
Duties Yet Unsettled.
His duties at Central will not be
set definitely until after a confer
ence tomorrow with school officials,
but it is probable he will be assist
ant to Hardy Pearce in football and
Jack Ray in basket ball.
Boyd is former University Of
Maryland athlete He graduated in
1927. He was on the basket ball,
football and lacrosse teams there
and received letters in all three
sports. He captained the 1927 basket
ball team-and the same year was
chosen on the second all-America
lacrosse team. He is 80 years old,
married and has two children.

BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

George Washington's none too
bright chances of stopping Chuck
Chuckovits and his Toledo Rockets
took a turn for the worse today
when it was learned that the Co.
lonials will be far from physically
perfect when they take the Tech
High floor at $3.50 o'clock.
Jack ButterWorth and George
CARRIER, two of the teams most
valuable men, are suffering from
ailments which may keep them from
playing their best tonight. Butter
worth, crack center and senior,
twisted a knee against Army last
Wednesday and still isn't walking
any too firmly. CARRIER, the teams
second highest scorer and player
whom many consider the best floor
man on the squad, has a severe
cold.
G. w. Is Apt to Start Borum.
CARRIER is slated to start, but
Coach Bill Reinhart was toying
with the idea of leading off with
Bruce Borum at center in place OF
the incapacitated Butterworth.
Reinhart was we'll pleased with Bo-
runs work against Washington and
Lee last Saturday, and the 6-foot-4
senior may be in the opening line
up.
Bob Faris will answer the opening
whistle at forward with CARRIER, and
Sid Silkowitz and Arnold CReds)
Auerbach will be at guards. Auer-
bach opened Reinhart's eyes by
scoring II points against w. and L..
Even at best G. w. would be a
short-ender against one of the coun-
trys top fves and a player who
apparently is headed toward a new
all-time scoring mark.
Chuck Nears 1000 Points.
Defeated only twice in IA games
and having in Chuckovits a man
who needs only 90 more points to
even 1000, the Toledoans will be
one of the few invaders in recent
years to enter home game against
George Washington on the long end
of the odds.
In three years under Reinhart's
coaching. G.. w. has lost only three
games in Westinghouse Long Is
land, Loyola of Chicago and Roa-
noke. But Toledo walloped the Co.
lonials, 56-43, at Toledo last year
when Chuckowitz scored % points,
and with the same team available
should be favored. Center SWihart
and Guard Alvarez, like Chucko-
vitz, are seniors, and Hintz, the other
guard. is a junior Carlson is the
only sophomore to have beaten out
an upper classman for regular

Indians Wild SIubmun
Apt to Get Wilder

} Feller is a good sight wilder than
Wander Meer Batting against
Robert at night-well, Id rather be
President.
Walter johnson perhaps was the
fastest pitcher who ever lived. At
least, he sent more visiting hltters
to bed with stomachaches the morn
ing of the day he pitched than any
fireballer I know Of.
'I wouldn't have killed anybody
at night" says Johnson, because I
always had good control, and I
didn't throw at their heads. But I
, don't imagine you can see one COM
ing at night as we'll as in the day
time, and I wouldn't like to be hit
ting against wild pitcher"
Feller must be almost as fast as
johnson was, because, when you get
down to measuring speed like that,
there is an infinitesimal difference
only between the deliveries of this
hard thrower and the other fellow
They say Feller is the fastest today.
They were saying that a couple of
years ago in the American League,
while a good many National Leag-
uers dissented in favor of Van Lin
gle Mungo, including Hank Lieber,
then of the Giants, who had the
honor of being powdered by both.
Feller hit Hankus on the skull, in an
exhibition game, so smartly that Mr..
Lieber subsiSted on a diet of aspirin
and no baseball for several months
thereafter. On pulling himself to-
gether, Hank delivered the following
loyal and patriotic statement:
"Mungo is faster"
Today, Mungo is slightly out of the
running, and the Van Meter kid
has the field to himself. I don't
know what he'll do with it, but I
hope they don't throw temptation
in his way by offering S. pelt for
American League night ball hitters.

The subsidized paper and the subsidized
