Woodrow Wilson appeared fit and
ready today to give Roosevelt ample
competition when it takes the floor
tomorrow night in the closing game
of a double-header at Tech gym,
which will open with the Central
Tech game at 7:30. If their 37-to-
% victory over American Univer-
sity freshman at a. U. yesterday is
a criterion, the Presidents should
give the current interhigh leaders
a real battle.
Tech, which has lost three
straight interhigh scraps, also
seemed improved enough to give
Central fight after scoring over
st. Johns at Tech yesterday, IS
to 33, in an extra period.
Roosevelt has clinched a place in
the playoff, but Wilson, though un-
defeated, hasn't. Last year Wilson
beat Roosevelt in the regular series
competition, but lost to the Rough
Riders in consolation game.
Bart Fugler and Mokie McDon-
aid were the stars of Wilson's VIC
tory over the A. U. freshmen, scor-
ing % points between them. Will
son led all the way and sported a
17-13 lead at the half. The little
Eagles scored almost half their
points on foul shots, sinking all of
II chances. The victory was the
ninth of the season for Wilson and
it's fourth straight.

Paychek Named
Next Opponent
For Champ
Few Willing to Rate

Real Title Chance
BY SID FEEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


NEW YORK, Feb. 8.-The boys
who bet bob or two on the fights
are getting down" for plenty on
tomorrow nights Joe Louis-Arturo
Godoy championship shindig, de-
spite the fact the Brown Bomber is
rated so highly that his next title
defense already has been lined up.
Promoter Mike Jacobs, who directs
the activities of the fight games
most expensive and dangerous piece
of bric-a-brac, broke just about all
rules for fistic publicity last night
in announcing, on the eve Of one
title tilt, that Louis next trip to the
post would be in April against
Johnny Paychek, the thin-haired
heavyweight out of Des Moines who
recently has run up quite victory
string.
OF course, "Uncle Mike" did qualify
the announcement by pointing out
that Louis would have to whip
Godoy first. in Is rounds or less to-
morrow in Madison Square Garden.
But not even the Chilean fisher
mans best friends would tell him
he figured to dethrone the cham
pion.
Louis Victory Is Granted.
Even the bettors, having examined
the somewhat peculiar schedule"
of odds for the fight, let the 1-to-7
price on the Bomber to finish on
top in his ninth title defense strictly
alone. Instead, they climbed aboard
| another item as cinch to put meat
and potatoes on the table.
This was a quotation of even
money that Godoy would last five
rounds. The odds-makers have
rigged up a scale on Just how long
Arturo would be around, making
him l to to hang on for 10 and
to to be on deck at the finish.
But the major betting was by the
folks who dug down to put up their
fresh" on the chance that they'd
get their money back on Arturo's
durability and ability to answer the
bell for the sixth heat. And the
bookmakers reported that this par
ticular item was so well liked that
more than the usual amount of
wagering was being done.
The fact that Arturo is a rough
customer and fights low-two Pc
culiarities Louis definitely does not
enjoy in a rival punch pitcher-was
what the boys and girls liked about
his chances to stay.
However, it was pointed out that
there was little or no betting on
the South American being VIC
torious.
Fat Attendance Assured.
Anyway, there are a lot of folks
who are going to be around to see
the thing unfold. In four previous
Garden parties Joe never has failed
to draw 100000 into Uncle Mikes"
cash registers. He's going to keep
his record intact tomorrow, for at
this writing it appears that some
$4,000 cash customers will be on
hand and chip in" a pot of
/ $4,000.
With taxes on promotion taken
off, Louis 40 per cent of this should
amount to about $4,000 and bring
his ring earnings to more than
s1,700,00O for his skyrocket career.
Louis will be busy keeping sew
eral other of his records going as
well as the financial one. He has a
string of seven straight title
knockouts now and, as always, says

Stopping Dartmouth

Proves Power on Rood
In Beating Harvard;

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 8.-Dart-
mouths Indians don't look as good
on foreign courts as they do up in
the hills of Hanover, N. H., but they
have shown they can win on the
road, so it looks very bad for the
other six teams in the Eastern
Intercollegiate Basket Ball League.
Dartmouth whipped Harvard,
53-46, at Cambridge last night for
its fourth victory in five league
starts. Princeton, in second place,
has won two of three games and
all the others have lost at least two
each.
Harvard, with only two victories
to show for all the games it has
played this season, put up sur
prisingly strong resistance and it
wasn't until the last few minutes
that the Indians pulled away.
Broberg's Spurt Decides.
Trailing, 24-27, at half time, the
Crimson rushed ahead when Capt.
Charley Lutz began a scoring streak
that was good for five field goals.
Bill Webber added pair and Har-
ward led by S points. Then Dart
mouths Gus Broberg went into
action and dropped in Z points be-
fore his fourth personal foul sent
him to the sidelines three minutes
later.
That stopped the Crimson rush
and Dartmouth drew further ahead.
Broberg, as usual, was high scorer
with IA points, more than Lutz
and Dartmouth's Jim Sullivan.
Dartmouth's next league game is
against Yale at Hanover Saturday
and that shapes up as one of the
battles of the season, for the Ellis
swamped Brown, 63-43, in a tune
up game last night. It was only
Browns second defeat Of the season.
Army on Rampage.
Army, the East's mystery" team,

team when it downed Columbia,
1890, at New York. The Cadets
also have beaten Yale, Harvard,
Princeton and Cornell, all but the
last on foreign courts. At West
Point Army has won two games and
lost two.
Princeton hung up a point for
the league in outside" competition
by beating Rutgers for the second
time, 1926.
Duquesne's fine team, beaten only
by Indiana this year, turned in the
feature performance of the "inde-
pendent" program by whipping
Long Island University, 36-32, in
the feature game OF the Madison
Square Garden double-header. City

To the crowd of 11,107 the Dukes
looked to be the best team to appear
in the Garden since Southern Cali

Did some one say good basket ball
players are born, not made? If he
did, Bill Reinhart has a rebuttal.
"Phooey!" rebuts the George Wash
ington University coach. And, point
ing to OTIS Zahn, the Eastern High
product who played under him three
years and now is serving Reinhart
in an even more important capacity,
the G. w. mentor adds:
There is a man who has done
more with less natural ability and
less physical equipment than any
player I ever saw. Everything Zahn
can do today land this bears out
my contention that he is as smart
player as I ever coached), he
learned to do.
"But-and here is where original
inefciency reaps its greatest reward
because he had to learn, and be-
cause he remembers how he applied
what he learned, he is making a
whale of a coach. I'd hate to lose
him, but I'd recommend him for
any coaching job in the country
right now"
Coaches Freshmen Four Years.
At this point it should be ex-
planned, lest any are ignorant Of
Zahn's present status, that the
former Colonial has been freshman
coach at G.. w. for four years, during
which time he has produced two
District A. A. U. unlimited cham
pions and never has had team
which lost more than four games.
His current team is undefeated in
13 games.
It's not the freshmen's won-and-
lost record that most interests Rein
hart, however. It's the fact that
zahn thoroughly educates first-year
men at G. w. into the Reinhart sys-
tenn SO that by the time they move
up to the varsity, they're ready.
In short, Zahn's the man behind
the basket ball scene at G. w. but
ironically on the way toward be-
coming the forgotten man" until
one talks to Reinhart.
