ORLANDO, Fla. Dec. THE
Rambling Rattlers" of Florida A
and M. College today battled to a
90 tie with Wilberforce University
of xenia, Ohio, in the annual
Orange Blossom game.
The Rattlers claimed the national
Negro football crown, however, on
the intricate mathematics of the
Dickinson system which. according
to pre-game dope. rated Florida a
fraction of percentage point ahead
of Wilberforce. Before the game
the Rattlers were rated at 1881
against $500 for Wilberforce, and
the tie between the upper division
clubs apparently did not change the
standings.
Florida A. and NJ, located at
Tallahassee, had a superior edge
in the statistics. but Wilberforce
made the only two direct threats
in the game with field-goal attempts
in the second and fourth periods.
Except for a wild last-period pass
ing attack, when passes from
Glymph to Horton were bouncing

force territory, the Rattlers made

Fair Shot at Experts

With dub and star alike having
equal chance. the biggest duckpin
competition in history will start to-
morrow at more than a score of
pin plants as bowlers from every
league in metropolitan Washington
knuckle down and try for fat prizes
in the 18th annual Evening Star
Yuletide tournament.
Upward of $4,000 man and
woman bowlers, all except minute
minority handicapped according to
league averages, will shoot their
qualifying rounds in a tournament
which, to quote Defending Mems
Champion (Hokie) Smith is hard
enough for the star; easy enough
for the dub
More than 81 100 in cash will be
distributed, the bulk of it in the roll
of to be staged just after Christmas.
Smith, who more than once was
eliminated during the qualifying
rounds as. shooting from scratch, he
failed to keep pace with the handi-
capped dubs, has had plenty of
company over the years Scores
of ranking stars. including Astor
Clarke, Ollie Pacini and Tony San
tint, have dropped by the wayside
long before the firing became seri-
Gus.
While Smith, a star, triumphed
last year, an unknown was VIC
torious in the womens ranks when
Mrs. Junaita Pollock won with a
AL set. With her 81 handicap added,
Mrs Pollock carried off first prize
Of 500 and a solid gold medal.
There is no entry fee for The
Star tournament and every man
and woman bowler rolling on alleys
under the Jurisdiction Of the WASH
ington City Duckpin Association is
eligible to roll in the qualifying
round. Each bowler should see that
his or her score, with the proper
handicap. is turned into the alley
attendant either by the team cap
tain or by the person appointed by
his or her league.
Handicaps will be based on a
two-thirds difference between league
averages and scratch of 1913 for
men and 118 for women. A maxi
mum of l8 pins per game, or a
total of 54 for the three game set,
will be permitted each sex in the
qualifying round. The same handi-
caps will prevail in the final roll
off, except that the men will roll
five games instead of three.
After the scores have been tabu-
lated, the high Is per cent at each
bowling establishment will carry on
to the rolloffs on the same alleys.
BoWlers must attempt to qualify
on the drives where they roll their
first league sets, in the event they
compete in more than. one league
Averages will be taken from the
leagues in which they roll their
first sets of the week, the averages
as of last night for a minimum
of IS games.

petition in any international sports

A. A. U. today.
The Executive Committee recon-
mended that no permits be issued
to amateur athletes for competition
in Germany. No time limit was set
in the recommendation.
The committee. it was learned
also decided to ask the A. A. U
to recommend that the present

supplanted by an organization called
the American Federation of Sports
This would supervise such events
as the inaugural of the Pan-Ameri-
can games at Buenos Aires in 1912
and also American competition in
the Olympics, should there be
resumed.
Brundage Favors Proposal.
The A. A. U. is one of the most
influential units in the American
Olympic Committee and its recon-
mendation would have a strong
effect. Avery Brundage, A. o. c.
chairman and a member of the
A. A. U. Executive Committee, was
reported to favor the proposal.
All committee recommended tions
must be approved by the Board
of Governors before tomorrow's

Brundage, and also approved a re-
vised plan of selecting aspirants in
the future. Hereafter each of the
Al A. A. U. district associations

national committee will choose the
winner from this field, in turn SUBJ

Best Puck SteoIer in League,
Leader in Defense, Burroge
Rates as Eagles Moinstoy

The Eastern Amateur Hockey
Leagues leading puck stealer. rank
ing defense man in the league and
one Of the best poke check men in
any brand Of hockey, big league or
amateur league.
That's the way his mates regard
Len Burrage, the stalwart from Can
ada, who is playing an inspired game
on skates for the league-leading
Washington Eagles.
That fellow would be by long odds
the outstanding player in this or
any other league If he had little
more weight" said dour-faced Red"
Mackenzie, coach Of the Eagles.
But maybe if he had 80 more
pounds he wouldn't be SO shifty
It's hard to tell" Burrage tips the
scales at 1872
And what is q poke check? In
case you don't know, in hockey its
the gentle art of coming up from
behind or from the side of the op-
posing gent pushing the puck down
the ice and stealing it from him.
It happens to be very irritating and
very effective.
Near Lead in Assists.
If developed to the art mastered
by Len Burrage, it can become a
potent scoring weapon, for it returns
possession Of the puck to your side,
and the best hockey standards main-
tain that to score you must have a
stick on the puck.
OF course Burrage isn't the whole
Eagle team. But in addition to
being a mighty man on defense
the best looking defense man in
the league, to hear his mates talk
lanky Len has a habit of turning
himself into attacker. carrying the
puck down the ice himself to pass
across the blue line to one OF his
speedy boy friends for a score.
Evening star., 1940-12-08

Currently he is close to the top
in assists, which means that Len
has maneuvered the puck into a
position where pass to one of
the Eagle wingmen has resulted
in a score.
Burrage is around 80 years of age,
which is old for amateur hockey.
And of course behind those years
stretches a lengthy campaign in
high-class hockey. Leader of tine
Harringay and Streatham teams
in London just before the outbreak
of war, a member of the Moncton
Hawks, a star on various Canadian
teams and Of the Pittsburgh Yellow
Jackets in the National Amateur
Hockey League, any one can see that
Burrage is no green pea with the
puck. He shows he isn't when he
dons the padded uniform.

Burns was with the inept Atlantic
