Inc Victory gave III SSiieio e'
record of five wins, no losses at the
end of first round play and ran
the Spartan winning streak to 15
straight in league competition un-
der the coaching of Larry Hanson.
Ell Centro abandoned its usual
set offense and reverted to semi
fast break, aided set blocks, for its
most impressive showing of the
session.
Red Riedy was high scorer in
the Spartan victory, with IA points,
but it was the consistent passing OF
Measures, Kirkpatrick, Payne and
Fisher that made the scoring pos
Sible.
Armando Amador was high point
man for the losers with 8 of Cal
exico's IA points
Ell Centre opened its offensive
in the first minute of play when
Sam Fisher dropped one handed
shot through the netting, followed
with another before the bewildereo
Calexicans could recover.
Amador Gagged a basket for Cal
exico between scores by Payne ano
Riedy and that was as close as
the Bulldogs ever approached. The
score at the intermission was 23-3
Calexico fought back in the thiro
period and managed to outscort
the Spartans 7-6 in that stanza bu
the Ell Centrans found the range
again in the fourth period despite
the fact ten reserve players pilec
into the game.
Calexico's offense showed a lacl

By HENRY McLEMORE

LOS ANGELES, Feb. l. tUP)-
Remind me, will you, the next time
YOU see me. to write a letter to
Dwight Davis and ask him why he
doesn't do his bit toward bettering
the worlds economic situation by
limiting the Davis cup competition
to four or five countries.
OF course Mr.. Davis doesn't know
me, and would pay even less atten-
ton to my suggestion if he did. but
it hurts me TO read, year after year,
that such countries as Denmark,
India. Monaco. Ireland and the
Netherlands. not TO mention Mexico,
Sweden and New Zealand. have
again entered the Davis cup lists.
AS donor of the big tennis trophy,
Mr.. Davis should make it impos-
sible for these and similarly tennis
equipped nations to spend their
time and money so fooliShly. In all
the time that the cup has been up
for competition only four countries
England France, Australia and
the United States-have won it. and
from the looks of things now they
are the only countries that are
ever going to win it. Germany,
Italy and Japan once had a chance,
but not any more, it being iinpos-
sible for man to play very good
tennis while wearing military
uniform.
AS for the other countries they
haven't a Chinaman's chance (and
that goes double for China which
also is enteredD of winning. And
it costs plenty of money to send
Just one tennis player around to
tournaments, much less an entire
team. I never made real study
of it. but my guess Is that an
amateur tennis player is just about
the most expensive thing to main-
tain there is. He just won't travel
in the style to which he is accus-
toned
II doesn't take an amateur tennis
player more than. one trip away
from home to learn the difference
between upper berthS and lowers
and not more than two to start
talking about compartments. BY
the time he has made a Davis cup
team he is strictly a drawing room
man, and turns up his nose at fixed
price dinners to give the a Ia carte
a play. And he soon learns to do
more with an expense account than
Kreisler ever did with violin.
With the money the countries l
mentioned earlier have spent trying
TO get a leg on the Davis cup they
could have put new don't walk on

Pitt Puts Athletes Under
Supervision Of Big 10
Move Classed as
Cooperative
Agreement

PITTSBURGH. Feb. (UP)-
The University of Pittsburgh placed
its athletics under supervision OF
the western lbig l0) conference
today.
Pitt officials pledged the univer-
sity to abide by rules of the big 10
and to submit to its car, Com
missioner John L. Griffith, any
questions regarding eligibility OF
athletes. His decisions will be final.
The action did not make Pitt con-
ference member. 1t was a Co
operative agreement.
Athletic Director James Hagan
of Pitt, said the move was not
intended TO put Pitt into the Big
10. but to prove the purity OF
its athletics by placing them under
supervision of an established IN
tercollegiate conference and taking
as final the conferences word on
such matters as eligibility, subsidi-
zation and proselyting.
In Chicago, Commissioner Grit
fifth said that any thought of the
University of Pittsburgh entering
the Big 10 through a cooperative
agreement would be a pipe dream.
Most schools in the Big 10 have
had about as many charges of sub
Sidization made against them as
has Pitt. There recently have beer
intimations that the University oi
Chicago may give up its place in
the conference soon. Should Chi
cago drop out, or any other mem
Der. Pitt would be in the best posi-
ton to step in. For that matter, the
western conference does not provide
for a l0-member limit.
