Coach Of Washington
Stickmen Hard Put
To Select Team
Two Hurt, but Deckmon's S
Men Progress Rapidly
Prepping for Opener

Although the opening match with
Swarthmore is only week off,
Coach Joe Deckman is as far from
deciding on the Washington Athletic
Associations starting lacrosse line
up as ne was the first day of practice.
Rapidly rounding into condition
after three weeks of work the club
scrimmaged yesterday and will be
ready for its first test of the season.
Two casualties marked the brisk
stick-wielding. Leo Hantske, q
candidate for the wing attack posi-
ton, received cut lip that required
four stitches and probably will be
out for week.
AL Casey, another applicant for
the same birth, tore the cartilage in
knee and will not be available until
May at the earliest
Goal Rivals Closely Matched.
Deckman has Ferrarini and
Muncks at goal to begin the fight
for position. They seem to be evenly
matched. Close defense, with South
Sothoron displaying All America
form, Oden Bowie, Jim Loughran,
Ed Fletcher, Harvey Cook and Her.
man Millman alternating in the
roles should be handled adequately.
Bowie, unable to come to town for
more than one session a week, is
doing road work on his nearby
Maryland farm. Millman is a new
conner who has shown great promise.
Terrapins Among Vets.
The others are veterans who were
teethed on lacrosse sticks at the
University Of Maryland.
The wing defense is a toss-up be-
tween Harry Hamilton. Rod Brooks
and Logan Hill Hamilton may have
the edge in aggressiveness and has
shown to advantage in scrimmage.
Bill Crentz, another candidate for
the job, was late reporting and is not
yet in condition.
Jack Badenhoop has the inside
track on the wing attack. while Bob
Williams, Temple FARRELL, Frank
Hawkins and Deckman are waging a
small war for the" close attack work.

Furr's Fistic Future
Risked in Mcdowell
Fight Tomorrow
Victory Is Imperative
I'D. C. WeIter Would
Remain in Ring Come

Phil Furr steps back into the spot
light tomorrow night at Turner's
Arena and the result will determine
whether he gets another lucrative
engagement in the immediate fu-
ture or whether his fistic career will
be shrouded in a complete and final
blackout.
His opponent is Wild William Nc
Dowell, the Texan whose educated
left jab has barked defeat into the
weary jaws of three consecutive op-
ponents. Wild Willie probably will
be the peepul's cherce, but the form
players are stringing along with
Furr.
Furr Ready For Bout.
He has the reach, a mite more
experience and he needs work badly.
It'll take a lot of fighter to whip
Philbert tomorrow.
Mcdowell will have the advantage
in speed, but Furr's sturdier punch
ing should offset this. Mcdowell
isn't in the same batting class with
the District gladiator and we haven't
seen him in action against real
puncher. He boWled over Vic Finaz-
20, perfect target for his fancy
Dan tactics, hop skipped and
jumped to a decision over Jackie
Stewart and last week scored a
malodorous Knockout over Jackie
Dorval.
None of these lads figured to whip
Willie. He was too fast, too clever
and too experienced for them, but
that will not be the case tomorrow.
Furr is ready for his pogo punches,
his bicycling and his horse play and
when Philbert says he's ready he
can kick the sawdust out of a lot of
top flight men.
Other 8-Rounders.
Two other 8-rounders have been
tossed into the bargain bill. Carl
Guggino tangles with Calvin Calp,
who was beaten quite thoroughly in
Baltimore last week, and Mayon
Pablo meets Norman Hurdman of
Canada. The winner of the latter
bout is scheduled to box the Furr-
Mcdowell victor in a couple OF
| weeks.
ElWood Harris mingles with Phil
Ensenga of Baltimore in 4-rounder
while the curtain raiser will see
Jimmy Green, local amateur, take
the professional plunge against Ray

rounds of the annual District table

last night asonly two seeded players
fell during the 9-hour session at

singles, respectively-all advanced
without the loss of a game, the
latter two to the final round.
Holzberg Only Unseeded Survivor.

halted in the semifinal stage. In this
evenings closing session. Fields will
meet fourth-seede Lou Gorin while
seconded seeded Elias Schuman
faces John Holzberg, only unseeded
survivor, for the right to clash for
the mems title.
Holzberg reached the next-to-last
bracket by defeating Bill Obey, who
previously caused a sensation by
eliminating third seeded Tommy
| Abellera in straight games, 21-16,
Alt. The only other seeded en-
trant to bow was Russell Wise,
second seeded junior, who was upset
by Jimmy Callan in a first-round
match, Alb, 21-18. Callan sub

of the mems non-championship
fight without the loss of a game
But the play of the l6-year-old
Wise, newly crowned champion of
the Northeast Boys Club, proved
too steady for young House.
The Misses Stauffer and Wilson
not only went to the final of the
women's singles but were cited as
the reasons for there being only
five entrants for the fair crown.
They're so much superior to any
other woman players around town, "
explained Tournament Chairman
George Foster, that they scare
them all away"
Miss Stauffer walloped Kitty Kloe-
ber. the only entrant to play two
matches. ALA, ALL, Alt, while

pressed their opposition to the pay in
crease but felt that the Welfare Com
mission was entitled to a hearing on
the matter. Councilman schultz said
that inasmuch as a majority Of the
Council were opposed to any increase,
he saw no reason for such a hearing.
However. his resolution received no
support, and the subject was dropped
for the present. Mayor Louis w. Benin
said that he would call joint meeting
