Eastern Tilt Provides Big Test
For Revised Central Quint;;
Fairfax Teams Sparkle

Lenny (Stretch) Mills inch for inch
and should give Central at least an
even break in the matter Of who gets
the rebounds.
Used against Georgetown fresh
men last week. Quigley worked well
In picking the ball of the blackboard
giving Central possession a good part
Of the time His height also aided
him in scoring six points.
If Quigley does make good at CEN
ter the solution will be but a tenn
porary one, however, as he graduates
in February. Coach Ray Is not
worried particularly about this
though, because he probably will
have dick Farr as center then II
Dick passes the studies which so far
have kept him from competing
for Central.
Eastern Five Favorite.
The other Central starters prob
ably will be Harry Martin, Erwin
Ornstein, Archie Panago and Louis
Apostlokos. Len Sokol also Is slated
for lot Of action.
Although Eastern's defending
champions are favored over Central
in the first game of tomorrow's
double header, the Columbia Heights
team is out to give it a good argu-
ment. Something Of a traditional
court rivalry exists between them as
the two almost have had monopoly
on the basket ball championships
Eastern has won it seven times and
Central six, and In 1926 and 1881, the
only two years there were ties, East
ern and Central were in them.
The other half of the double
header brings Tech out against
Roosevelt In another feature clash.
Tech was one Of the teams generally
expected to get in the playoff before
it absorbed something of lacing
from Eastern last week, while Roose-
welt, another highly-fa quintet,
barely sneaked past Western in an
overtime match.
Transfer Stars at Wilson.
The Fasteners sometimes are
called the Refugees since the school
provided haven for Lenny Mills of
Tech, Bat Battiste of St. Johns and
Bob Custer of Western, but Woodrow
Wilson in Chevy Chase should not
be overlooked. Leading scorer in the
series so far is its Charley Findley,
center, with 10 points rung up in one
game against Anacostia. Charley Is
not a native Wilson student, how
ever, having transferred from Roose-
velt where he was a substitute on
the 1867 basket ball team.
Sam Hamacher, winner of the
high Jump in the scholastic division
Of the Southern Conference meet
last year, and Larry Detorie are
working out daily with the Tech
track team although they graduated
from the school last June.

the leaders Of the Nations fore
most college basket ball circuits
shouldn't have much to worry about
this week.
The major conferences have COM
pleted the first stage Of the season
and for the next week or two those
midwinter exams share interest
with the few scheduled games. There
may be fireworks afterward, for the
loss of star player or the loss of
the fine coordination needed for
winning basket ball can upset a
team very easily, and the races still
are close.
Two of the most important con-
ferences, the Big Ten and Big Six,
may even see few changes tonight.
Minnesota, Big Ten leader until it
was beaten by Northwestern a week
ago. plays Illinois, the current pace.

Big Game for Iowa State.
Kansas, 1888 Big Six champion,
plays Iowa State at Ames tonight.
If Iowa State wins tonight it can tie
Missouri for the lead. Nebraska and
Oklahoma, which have outside
chances, come together Saturday.
Farther West, this weeks schedule
brings together rivals for the lead in
two major circuits. California and
Southern California fight it out at
Los Angeles Friday and Saturday for
the top of the Pacific Coast Confer
ence Southern division. The show
down in the Northern section isn't
due until the following week when
Washington, the unbeaten leader,
runs into Oregon, defending cham
pion.
On Friday Colorado, topping the
Rocky Mountain Big Seven with four
straight victories, and Wyoming.
which has won three straight despite
threatened player strike, meet In
Colorado's field house. Utah and
Utah State come together Saturday.
'Bama Has Hard Week.
Alabama, which ranks as the No.
! team in the Southeastern Con-
ference, meets Georgia tonight and
then takes on Kentucky, the pre-
season favorite, Saturday. Georgia
Tech meets Georgia Saturday, while
Tennessee plays Vanderbilt.
Five other circuits of major i'm
portance in the basket ball world
are expected to keep their pres
ent status.
The only Southern Conference
games pit North Carolina against
North Carolina State Tuesday and
Virginia Tech against Virginia

Desyernine Fears Effects
Of War on Democracy

By the Associated Press
Raoul E. Desvernine of New York,
president of the Crucible Steel Co.
of America, expressed the opinion
yesterday that United States entry
into the European war would 80
distort democracy that only its name
would survive"
An inevitable effect of war, he told
the Washington Society of Engineers,
would be that many persons would
value security more than liberty,
that democracy would become an
impractical idea, that people in
desperation would turn to die
tator and that the moral fiber of
citizens would be debilitated with a
consequent loss of a sense of the
sanctity of obligations and destruc-
ton of all business relations and
credit"
Desvernine said that every indus
trlallst who looks ct war through
the microscope Of facts and eco
nomic experiences clearly views war
with horror"
