Boxing Team At High School
Works Out, With rs Boys
Reporting For Workout

Sports at New Hanover High are
practically at a standstill with the
holiday season just around the cor
ner and the basketball conference
not scheduled to begin until after

work yesterday afternoon, but on

ference games this year. ]

ZAHARAS-BEAVER
BOUT TOPS CARD
Wrestling Matches At Stadi.
UNI Monday Night To Be
For Greek Relief Fund

Two speedy wrestling matches are
on the card to be presented at Le-
gion stadium Monday night as a
benefit for the Greek war relief fund.

with Hank Matheny tangling with
Don Mcintyre in the semi-finals en-
gagement.
Babe, a brother of Chris Zaharas,
a popular grappler here several

wrestler, will referee the matches.
Promoters of the matches have an.
nounced that a percentage of the
gate will be turned over to the fund
being raised here by the Greek

TOPS EAST
ALL STAR ELEVEN
Fordham,, Georgetown And
Cornell Also Place Repre-
sentatives On Team

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-LP-Boston
college, Fordham and Georgetown,
which will represent the East in
three of the New Years Day bowl
games, each won representation to-
day on the 1910 Associated Press ALL
Eastern football team.
Boston, as BELTS a team which
came through 10 games without de-
feat or tie to win the mythical east
ern championship, led the way with
three men-Chet Gladchuk, 6-foot 5
inch, 242-pound center; George Kerr,
guard, and 15S = pound Charley
ORourke, who looks like a drug
clerk in his street clothes but be-
comes a punting passing : running
triple threat once he dons his cleats
and pads.
Besides B. c., which will play Ten
nessee in the Sugar Bowl, only one
other team gained more than one
Place. Cornell put Tackle Nick ORA
hos and blocking back and signal
caller Walt Matuszczak on the first
eleven.
Georgetown, which will play Mis-
| sissippi State in the Orange Bowl,
and Fordham, which will play in the
Cotton Bowl, each placed a lineman.
The Hoyas' Agostino Lilo, 215-pound
guard and expert place-kicker, is a
holdover from the 1889 team (the
only one besides Drahos) While Ford
hams Joe Ungerer was named to
team with Drahos at the tackles.
Rounding out the line are ends
Loren MacKinney of Harvard and
Alan Bartholemy of Yale, both jun
iors and the only non-seniors on the
team. Machinery is a Chapel Hill,
N. c., boy. With O'Rourke and dou-
ble-z Matuszczak in the backfield are
Francis Xavier Reagan of Penn's
wv league champions, a one-man
gang on his good days and consist
emily the best punter in the East,
and George Kracum, 195-pound full
back who helped keep Pitt football
from being de-emphasized too far.
Reagan had the least trouble win
ming his place on a team that aver
ages POP pounds in the line and 1875
in the backfield. O'Rourke faced
challenges from such contenders as
TEMPLES Andy Tomasic, Cornelrs
Hal Mccullough and Fordham's Len
Eshmont; Kracum had strong full
back rivals in Sophomore Steve
Filipowicz of Fordham, 170-pound
Mort Landsherg of Cornell and
Georgetown's Jim Castiglia, and even
Matuszczak had a p~lay-calling, block
ing challenger in Henry Toczylowskl
of Boston college.
The same was rue in the line with
the possible exception of the tackl|3,
where the field was small. At center
| G1adchuk won out over an excep
tionally fine field that included leon
Gaiecki of Penn State, Columbia
Dou Snavely, Lou Defilippo OF Ford
ham and Ray Frick Of Penn.

|AAU PLANS ACTION
AGAINST ATHLETES
College Players May Lose
Standings For Violating
Amateur Code OF Union

DENVER, Dec. 5.-tR-Talk OF
disciplinary measures against GER
tain college athletes for violating
amateur codes was heard today as
delegates checked in for the Sind
National A. A. U. convention.
Between tomorrow and Sunday,
the A. A. U. will pass on 194l
championship sites for amateur
sports as different as basketball
annd bobsledding, track meets and
horseshoe pitching. The delegates
also will be asked to ratify 322
new athletic records, highest num-
Der in history.
Along with discussions over
whether college players would risk
their amateur status by playing
in the East-West rid game with
Michigan's Tom Harmon, it was
reported unofficially that the A. A.
U. plans to ''crack down" on IL
college basketball players who
played against a professional quin-
tet in Chicago recently.
Daniel j. Ferris, A.. A. U. secre-
tary, said Harmon, for receiving
a radio fee, made himself 'ineligi-
BILE" for possible A. A. U. compe-
tition unless he applied for and
obtained reinstatement.
All players competing with or
against Harmon in the Jan. / char
ity game at San Francisco, Ferris
said, would be threatened with the
lose of amateur standing in A. A.
U. sports unless each one wrote to
the board of governors for per-
mission to play in the grid con-
test.
The basketball players facing A.
A. U. suspension were those on
the All-Star team which defeated
the Harlem Globe Trotters, Ma
tional Professional league cham
pions.
when the college stars asked
for permission to play against the
pro team, they were told the A. A.
U. could not sanction their partici-
patton" Ferris said.
1.-TWO of the all-stars, Ralph Gil
annini of Santa Clara and Jim Nc
Matt of Oklahoma, needed the A.
A. US stand and sat on the bench.
Their future amateur standing,
therefore, will not be ques-
toned" l
