split even in IL games while st.
Johns has been able to win only
3 out of 10. Each has improved
somewhat over its early season play,
however.
Gonzaga will rely on Fred Rice
and Lane ODonnell. These two
have been mainstays Of the Purple

Frank Cady, leading scholastic
scorer in the city, is the best st.

Would Clarity Rules.
A national rule says that an ath-
lete asking for a travel permit must
be granted one If he is in good
standing. The national body says
that means every athlete asking for
one is given one. But wise local
minds say the compulsion is on the
athlete to obtain a permit-not on
the association to issue it.
Patrick j. Kelly, president of the
Met Association, says of his organi-
zation's proposed move:
IF this does nothing else, we
hope it will help simplify and
clarity the national rules" He, and
others, say the national code is so
complex and contradictory that no
one can hope to interpret 1t.

7-Month layoff
Fails 10 Dull
Berg Golf
Double Win Stretches
Her Miumi-BiItmore
Streak to q
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CORAL GABLES, Fla, Feb. H.
Having heard very little of Patty
Berg for the last seven months
while the Minneapolis girl was alb
senting herself from serious golf,
the Nation possibly will be inter-
ested in knowing how Patty has
survived her inactivity.
The subject is thus backed into
and approached with caution for
the reason that there came a time
in the late 1905 when there might
have been little too much written
about the red-haired wonder girl Of
the links.
Not that Patty, a sweet girl,
didn't deserve every word written Of
her prowess from tee to green. She
did. because her record since she
quit playing football with the
neighborhood boys and took up golf
had been uniformly wonderful.
But now Patty has had her ap-
pendix operation, she has missed
the National Women's champion
ship and seen the title fall to an
other fine golfer, Betty Jameson Of
San Antonio, and now she's back
to elbow her way down the fairways
again and take up where she left
of.
Erases Two Tough Opponents.
Is she still the best woman golfer
in the country-if not one worthy
of ranking with the greatest of all
time, including the almost immortal
Joyce Wethered of England? The
answer, after having watched Patty
trim two worthy opponents yester.
day in the Miami -Biltmore cham
pionships, and after having watched
her best rivals in action also, would
seem to be yes.
Patty still has little something
on the other girls. and she should
win her fifth straight championship
here.
Patty's two victories yesterday
were the twenty-second and twenty
third straight that she has scored
in the local classic, which possibly
constitutes a record of some sort. In
her first match yesterday she was
only one over fours for Is holes, on
a fairly long and tough course. That
included one glaring six, where she
overdrove on the seventh hole and
rolled into canal some $50 yards
away.
Her Game Appears Improved.
Yes, Patty appears to have sur
vived her operation and her absence
from tournament golf. If anything,
she appears to be hitting her drives
a little longer. to be approaching a
trifle more crisply and to be banging
her puts at the cup with trace
more confidence. That makes her
very good. indeed.
In her semifinal tussle today she
encounters Marion Miley of Lexing-
ton, KY, a girl who has been right
near the top for several years. The
winner probably will run into Betty
Jameson, the national champion, in
the 36-hole final tomorrow Betty's
opponent today is Shirley Ann john
son of Winnetka, ILL.,, who won two
surprising victories yesterday.
A final between the Misses Berg
and Jameson would be natural.

On Saturday
Tilt of Ex-BoItimore
Poly Students Tops
College Park Cord

Reunion in leather may be the
theme Of Josh Hughes and Ken
Rathbun at Saturdays punching
party between Maryland and Vir-
ginia at College Park. They will
meet in the light heavyweight
class, Hughes representing the Terps,
and all advance dope points to a
rousing argument.
There was time, a couple of
years ago, when either would think
twice before dispatching a round
house right at the other. That was
when they were schoolmates at Bal
timore Poly. They were willing to
lay down their young lives for Polly,
In q sporting way, but swing on one
another-never.
Then Rathbun enrolled at Vir-
ginia and Hughes went to Mary
land. This was cause for mutual
suspicion-if you know how the Old
Liners and Cavaliers like to rub 1t
IN on one another in sports. But
when both reported for their re-
spective boxing squads the old
friendship wilted and in its stead
sprouted cold-blooded rivalry.
They fought last year as fresh
men, the bout ending in a draw, so
this will be the second anniver-
sary of the Battle of Baltimore
Poly's Alumni.
Draw Disappoints Both.
Rathbun was perturbed, putting it
mildly. when they gave Hughes q
draw last year and openly vowed
to get revenge on the Terp when
they met again. Hughes was rather
disappointed, too, and will be trying
doubly hard to prove his superior
ity In Saturdays match.
Rathbun has acquired a small rep
utation already as a varsity ring
man. having outpointed Johnny
Sowder of Virginia Tech and stopped
Mike Bobbitt of North Carolina, but
Hughes has yet to win his spurs.
Josh made his initial varsity ap-
pearance last week in the match
with Catholic University and lost to
Julius STANCES, but 1t was a dis
puted decision.
Both are rangy 6-footers, hard
punchers and willing mixers.
Rathbun also indulees in football
and played end on Frank Murray's
eleven last year. but boxing is
Hughes lone sport.
Odds Favor Cavaliers.
Virginia will enter the ring a
heavy favorite over Maryland. hav-
ing lost only 2k points in two duel
meets, but the Terps quietly are
preparing warm reception for
their guests and may spring sur
prise or two.
Each team has three veterans OF

For Lower Coal Rates
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 13.-
Failing to get lower freight rates
on anthracite through negotiation,
the hard coal industry and the
Commonwealth jointly will try legal
action, in an effort to remove one
of the industry's handicaps.
Attorney General Claude T. Reno
announced yesterday a complaint
against anthracite-carryin rail-
roads will be filed with the Inter-
state Commerce Commission at
Washington "at an early date" in
the name of the industry's Traffic
Committee, cooperating with the
State Department of Justice.
Negotiations toward a voluntary
reduction were dropped last week
after representatives of the railroads
rejected the mine operators request
for lower charges on prepared sizes
shipped to Eastern and Central New
York and on steam sizes to the
Atlantic Seaboard between New
York and Virginia.
