A bill has been introduced in

road funds for purposes other than

OF delegates, according to reports

the opinion that both increased
teacher pay and the retirement bill
will be too big drain on the
state treasury. However, one rep
resentative stated that the budget
was sufficiently padded to ade-
quately finance both features. AS
was expected, the younger teachers
are in favor of increased teacher
pay and the senior members of the
profession are more interested in
the retirement bill.

Nation Recognizes Sugar
As Leading Bowl Come

But this coast realizes that the
other three bowls have stolen away
the public interest of the East, the
South and the Southwest. They
know the Sugar Bowl meeting be-
tween Tennessee and Boston Col
lege will be regarded nationally as
the country's leading bowl game.
I took a vote from 60 Of the coun-
try's leading football writer's. largely
from the East and the South, and
found that more than 80 per cent
were heading for the Sugar, Cotton
and Orange Bowls.
The East naturally is looking to
Boston College, Georgetown and
Fordham. the South to Tennessee
and Mississippi State, the Southwest
to Texas A. and M. The Stanford
Nebraska contest was regarded as
strictly Far West meeting between
two fine teams, missing the inter-
sectional flavor.
I found the Midwest slightly dor
mant, believing that Minnesota,
Michigan or Northwestern could
handle them all.
The records of Tennessee and
Boston College, North against South
give the Sugar Bowl the greatest
edge it ever has known. There GER
tainly is no game that promises as
many thrills as the Volunteers and
the Eagles should be able to offer.
And the same goes for the Cotton
Bowl when those Fordham backs get
under way. The Oronge Bowl, with
Mississippi State and Georgetown
tangling, will hold a smashing show
Mississippi State has had its place
in the spotlight all season as one OF
the best aggregations in the South
Curiously enough, it took the ex-
perts a long time to realize how
good Georgetown was-and, just as
curious, it took the Boston College
game to put the Hoyas across. They
lost that game which, right down to
the last few seconds, could have gone
either way. And lost to team that
all along had been recognized as
one of the Nations best.

the race for Vests place on the first
team. Ciango is the real speed de-
mon Of the team and has an un-
canny eye close to the basket. He can
get in fast and make those pushup
shots look easy.
Behind these first five, Roosevelt
probably will have an adequate sup
ply Of reserves. Bernie Kolker, an
other footballer, is out for basket
ball. He's a rugged player with lots
Of drive. Bob KerShenbaum is an
other good ball-handling reserve. A
newcomer who shows promise is
Charles Howard from Paul Junior
High. Big and tall, he knows his
basket ball and is fast of the back
board. Among the others who show
promise are Frank Rediger. Joe Scu-
dury, Chick Silver, Bud Swessinger.

tests last season, earning the public

players graduated he has three first
team holdovers and a number Of fast,
free-shooting reserves remaining for
the l941 squad.
The Riders probably have the
toughest schedule of any local
schoolboy quint, but they promise
to 60 through it with a minimum of
defeats. It's not too much to say
that they stand a good chance of re-
peating in the title race.

New Pivot Shot Rule
In Effect as 5phas
Battle Brewers
TussIe Sunday to Break
Second-PIuce Deadlock;
Posnuck Nurses Hurt

A change in rules of professional
basket ball made this week that
promises to make the game more
open and scoring more free than
heretofore will be in vogue here
for the first time Sunday when the
Philadelphia Sphas meet the Wash
ington Brewers in a night game
at Riverside Stadium.
The new rule opens up the pivot
play SO that hereafter a shot may
be tried By the pivotal player If
executed within two seconds OF
taking up the position. Before
such a player had been permitted to
pass or drible but not to try for
a field goal A pivot player is the
one who takes up a position in or
near the center lane in front of
the basket and receives the ball
with the intention of passing to a
teammate coming in fast.
The Sphas currently are in a
second-place tie with the Brewers
both having lost one game while the
New York Jewels 50 far are unde-
feated. The Philadelphia quint will
have such former collegiate stars
as Howard Rosen, Temple; Alex

College Games Likely
To Use All Of Dates
Al Griff Stadium
InstoIIotion Of Lights
At School Field Seen
As Solving Problem
BY GEORGE HUBER.

The practice Of playing several
high school series football games
at night, successfully inagurated
during the past season, may have
to be abandoned in spite Of 4 desire
to continue unless the schools can
get their own lighting setup.
Two games were played at Grifflth
Stadium, Tech-Central and Central
Eastern. and they were q success
from all angles, including the finan.
cial and spectators viewpoint.
School officials and every coach
want to continue with more noe
turnal contests each season but
there are several difficulties.
One is that dates are unavailable
at Griffith Stadium, only local plant
with lighting facilities. George
town and George Washington also
want to play night games and there
are only few Friday nights avail
able when the weather is mild
enough for playing.
Kun Into Difficulties.
This year, for example, the high
schools had arranged for two Friday
night dates, but at almost the last
minute they had to shift to Thurs
days in both instances to make way
for colleges. Clark Griffith hardly
can be blamed for giving preference
to colleges who draw more customers
and give him q greater percentage
Luckily enough, there were NO
complaints from parents about the
games on Thursday night instead OF
Friday, but there might be II they
are continued.
Another drawback about using
Griffith Stadium-if they could get
it's the expense. This year the
high schools made a good profit on
their two night games, but they still
had to shell out about 5000 more
than they would had the games beer
played on high school fields with
practically no expenses.
For several years high school on
Gals have been trying to get lights
installed at Central Stadium, m
ideal setup because Of location and
seating capacity. The cost would no,
be great, about 5000. In fact, money
is available to make q very substan-
tial down payment and the lights
would pay for themselves the first
year and a half
The Board of Education has yet
to okay the idea, though, and re-
Gently there has been q shift in
sentiment toward some other school
Coolidge Also Mentioned.
For certain reasons they do moi
want to put lights in Central, and
the new Coolidge School has beer
suggested. Coolidge has yet to build
its stadium. but the ground Is there
and appropriations may be made at
the next session Of Congress. II 50
the authorities will try to have funds
for lights included.
Woodrow Wilson has been sug-
gested rs another alternative, al
though it is not centrally located
and hasn't a large seating capacity
Additional bleacher seats could be
erected. however, although it would
add to the cost.
Whichever school Is selected, II
almost is certain that no more night
grid games will be played, despite
an almost unanimous desire to dc
SO. until the schools have their own
lighting system.
