Terms

As a knowledge of real estate
Technology is important to the
prospective home buyer, the fol-
lowing definitions drawn up by
the federal housing administration
may prove useful:
A detached building is build
ing in which no exterior walls are
common to any other building.
A seni-detached building is one
of two adjoining buildings standing
independently of others and having
a common party wall.
A row house is one of four or
more buildings in which two walls
are common to adjoining buildings.
An end row house is one which is
located at the end of a group of
four or more row houses and may
differ in plan, window arrange
ment, and extent of exterior walls,
from the other houses in the group
by virtue of its location. Where
only three houses occur in a row,
classifications are set up
for the end houses and for the
center house.

FILA Seeks
Better
Design

The Federal Housing Admins
tration's drive for sound con-
struction methods and better de-
signs for homes throughout the
country is prompted by three
motives.
These motives are protection
from msound methods and de-
sign; consequent increase in a
property's marketability, thus pro-
tecting the interest of the lend
ing institution; and reduction Of
the possibility that the structure
will become quickly undesirable
and prove a loss to FHA's mort
gage-insurance fund.
A house TO be marketable must
be durable in construct ion,
planned for convenience in living,
and adequately arranged and
equipped for safety, light, and
sanitation. 1t must be pleasing
and well proportioned in design
and have an attractiveness that
promises permanence in appeal

Rules for Desiqn
Given by FILA

The successful design of small
house exteriors is largely mat
ter of first obtaining an effective
but simple composition. states the
Federal Housing Administration in
a recent technical bulletin.
This is achieved through simple
roof lines and care in the DISPOSE
ton of door and window openings.
The second objective is good
proportions in the width or length
of walls to their height.
Third is the use of simple varia-
tons and materials which lend in
terest to the wall areas without
producing restless appearance.

Strdus Predicts
Need Of Housing

The need for planning for half
a million homes a year at the end
of the defense emergency was ex-
pressed by Nathan Straus, adj
ministrator OF the United States
Housing Authority.
According TO StrauS. the country
faces the possibility that 100000
men may be thrown out of work
directly or indirectly by the re-
establishment of peacetime
economy in America.
Such factors as a lag in residen-
ton construction since 1929. obSo-
lescence of existing homes. and
population growth have combined
to produce an estimated need of
100000 new dwellings by 1850.

Paint Protects Pipes

Smoke pipes. flues and other
metal surfaces subject to high tenn
peratureS should be protected with
paint prepared especially for that
purpose unless the surfaces have
otherwise been protected in course
of manufacture. Such paints will
tend to prevent rust and prolong
the life of the metal.

Insulation Of Pipes
Prevents FREEZING

The approach of zero weather is
a reminder that worn piping
should be replaced because it is
more likely to freeze and crack.
Pipes which are susceptible to
freezing should be relocated or

covering.

Hoyas Assign Giebe|
To Stop Conner in
Tilt With 6. W.

The task of stopping Joe Conner,
Roosevelt High-bred center who led
George Washington's winning at
tack against Georgetown back in
January, will be entrusted to an
other local scholastic product who
warmed the bench when the District
rivals met in their first game.
For Jim Giebel, sophomore who
was an invaluable member of St.
Johns crack teams during the era
when Conner was hitting his hottest
stride for Roosevelt, today was
nominated by Coach Elmer Ripley
to start Wednesday night in the
last game of college basket ball here
this season.
Giebel, only a substitute during
that first game, only could look on
as Conner hit the cords from all
angles to ring up 18 points for the
Colonials as they won that 1910
decision two months ago. Now, how
ever, the former Johnny is Begin
ming to live up to his pre-college
reputation, and the individual clash
between the two local boys should
provide an interesting side light two
nights hence.
George Washington record of 13
victories against defeats is better
than Georgetown's, but the latter's
ability to stop such teams as Army
and Penn State has given its sup
porters reason to hope for turning
of the tables. Georgetown has yet
to score over G. w. on the court
since the schools resumed athletic
relationships last year.

All he needs now is to get his game

Sam looks better than any one
ever saw him. He is hitting his
drives country mile and putting
beautifully. Only his irons are a
little rusty in spots. He shows all
his remaining teeth when he recalls
that eight.
"It was just bad mathematics on
my part" he says. Somebody told
me what score I needed to win with
and got mived up. I got it in my
thick head that I needed a four on
the last hole to tie, so when missed
couple of shots I thought 1 al
ready had lost and just quit trying.
I didn't realize until I reached the
green that could have tied with a
six. That was when I really felt
sick"
Sam and Guldahl look to be an
unbeatable combination in the A.
ball event, which they won last year.

NEW YORK, March 4.-Amateur
boxers from "a cities in the East and
South, survivors of 13 big sectional
tournaments and an original field of
more than 10000, begin their annual
three-day slugfest tonight in the
Golden Gloves tournament of
champions conducted by the Daily
News Welfare Association.
They are the cream of the crop of
amateur leather pushers along the
Eastern seaboard, including such well
known boys as Cyclone Williams of
Buffalo. Cooper white of Winding
Gulf, w. Va; Ray Robinson, New
York lightweight, and Johnny Aiello
and frankie Donate of Philadelphia
Since there are 104 boxers on the
list, it's likely some of the "un-
knoWns" will turn out to be just as
good as these.
The first two nights will take in SO
bouts, to be fought in two rings at
the Coliseum: then four survivors in
each class will move into Madison
Square Garden Wednesday for the
last two rounds. The eight winners
will fight Chicago's champions, sur
vivors of an even bigger field, in the
inter-city series here March 18.
Arrayed against the New York
City champs are teams representing
Atlanta, Charlotte, N. c.; Miami,
Washington, Huntington, w. Va;
Philadelphia. Newark, N. j.; Tren-

Ties for Court Titles
Appear Likely in
Big Ten, Big Six
Keen Races Are to End
This Week; U. S. c. Faces

%h'SSN-tNNN'
NEW YORK. March 4.-They
take their basket ball seriously in
the Midwest, long noted as the hot
bed OF the court game-that's how
it happens that they still are trying
to settle the Big Ten and Big Six
championships while titleholders in
other major college circuits are
looking toward bigger things.
The Big Ten race is due to be
settled tonight in the final five
game program. Purdue still leads
the field. but Indiana or Ohio State
can tie the Boilermakers.
The Big Six race winds up Friday
but there's some doubt whether that
loop will be able to produce an un-
disputed champion. If Oklahoma
beats Kansas at Norman Friday.
those two and Missouri will finish
in a three-way tie for the title.
That appears the most likely out
come, for the Sooners are tough
on their home court. Kansas, how
ever, has a chance to take a clear
title. Missouri and Oklahoma tied
last year.
The only other sectional cham
pionship still to be decided is in
the Pacific Coast Conference, where
Southern California and Oregon
State, which clinched their titles last
week in the Southern and Northern
divisions, meet in a tWo-of- three
playoff Friday, Saturday and, if
necessary, next Monday at Los
Angeles.
The other champions, some of
whom have to go through the
formality of finishing their seasons,
are:
