Kekeris-Mancini Bout
Headlines Amateur
Card Tonight
Southwest Pair Renew
Rivalry in Golden
Gloves Argument

Sixteen semifnal matches. fea-
tured by 147-pound joust be-
tween Nick Mancini of Pete's A. C.
and Billy Kekeris of the National
Guard, are scheduled tonight at Tur-
ner's Arena, where the annual Gold
en- Gloves boxing tournament moves
into the semifnal round.
Tonight marks Kekeris' debut in
the tournament. but Mancini, who
whipped the Greek southpaw in
their only meeting, had to hurdle
rugged Frank McCaleb of st. Mary's
to reach the round. Mancini is IA
vorite, but Kekeris will not lack
support when he steps into the
ring to battle his neighborhood
rival. Both hail from Southwest
Washington and have host of sup
porters.
There is possibility the 147-
pound class championship struggle
may end up in another fraternal
feud, as was the case last year, for
Nick's brother, John, meets Jim
Perrow of the National Guard in
the other bracket Perrow, a long
drink of water, has been around
several years but never before
reached the semifinals.
Nine novice and seven senior
bouts dot the program, and aside
from the Mancini-Kekeris duel it's
difficult to pick out the high spots.
Bernie Cady, long southpaw with
damaging punch in his glove, bat
ties Charlie Schneider of Colmar
Manor in what shapes up as a prom
ising bout. Schneider is a terrific
clouter although his style is annoy
ing. He runs until cornered, then
usually turns and either kayoes his
opponent or at least floors him. Cady
may prove more troublesome than
he expects, however.
Bobby Hockenberry's 135-pound
bout with Leo Marcopulous, Ray
Lands engagement with Lew Bur-
CESS at the same weight and the
160-pound fight between Roy Dunn
and Johnny Rogers are others
which should create a little ex-
citement.

Invitation Golf Meet
Likely al Capital
Club in June
Glen Echo Group Making
Plans for Event; Many
Other Journeys Due
By WALTER McCALLUM.

Capital Golf and Country Club
newest member of the local family
of private golf clubs banded together
in the District of Columbia Golf
Association. probably will step out
with an invitation tournament this
year.
Roy x. Aten, president of the
Capital Club. which is located at
Glen Echo, Md, and is the Sue
cessor of the old Bannockburn Colt
Club, has not yet made arrange
ments for the affair. But we are
working to that end" said Aten
He intimated the tourney may carry
an entry fee and may wind up with
dinner.
Aten did not ask the District
association for date for the pro-
posed event because the time is
not yet certain, but the wheels are
turning at Capital and without
much doubt the linksmen around
town will be prancing over those
rugged hills above Glen Echo come
June
Woodmont Meet Possible.
Nor has Woodmont Country Club
entirely abandoned its spring tour
ney. For years in the past golf
affair has been played over the
tough little Donald Ross layout in
Bethesda. Woodmont did not hold
such an affair last year and has not
asked for a date this year. But
Leopold Freudberg, golf chairman
at Woodmont. hints there may be
some action along tournament lines
before many weeks have passed.
"We still are thinking about a
tournament in the spring." said
Freudberg. But If the District
championship is held along the lines
suggested, with a flock of flights and
dinner to follow, don't believe
we'll hold our tournament. We
haven't abandoned it, however"
Columbia, Washington and Con-
gressional will not hold invitation
tournaments this year. Nor will
Manor. which gets the District
championship in September. Harry
G. Pitt, golf chairman at Manor,
wanted the District title affair in
the spring, but the association held
to precedent and kept the dates in
September Immediately following
the national amateur championship,
which goes this year to the famed
Winged Foot Club at Mamaroneck,
N. Y.
Amateur Test Award Held Up.
The District association has made
no move to line up a club for the
sectional rounds for the amateur
title tourney. but that will be done
at the proper time. Sectional rounds
for the simon-pure affair, which
comes to Washington this year, will
be played Tuesday, August q.
The open championship sectional
rounds go to Baltimore this year
under the rotation set-up arranged
between the District and Maryland
associations two years ago. The
open championship itself will be
played at Canterbury Golf Club
near Cleveland June 6, I and 8.

Pitt Tops Candidates
To Replace Chicago
In Big Ten Loop
Meanwhile Some Schools
Will Goin Financially
Through Better Comes
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Feb. 7.-Should the
Western Conference decide to re-
place Chicago-some we'll informed
observers think there's $3.50
chance that step will be taken
within four years-the University
of Pittsburgh may get first con-
sideration.
It's been little more than year
since Pitt made its athletic code
conform to Big Ten standards.
Since that time Pitt has scheduled
several Big Ten football teams and
Chicago. one of the organizing men,
bers of conference dating back to
1896, has dropped out of the grid
iron picture.
To Be big Nine" This Year.
What was the Big Ten in football
for so many years, therefore, will
be the Big Nine" next fall as the
grid teams swing into action-and
not a few influential conference
officials dislike that prospect. There's
certain to be a lengthy discussion
of the replacement problem when
conference faculty representatives
meet this spring.
For there doesn't seem much
chance that Chicago will return to
the gridiron sport and not little
Ill feeling was created recently when
chicago Spokesman" was quoted
as saying that the Maroons were the
only Big Ten team which conducted
its gridiron affairs without sub
sidization.
During the past two years Chicago
contributed some $4,000 in assist
ance to athletes, more aid than was
given student competitors at any
other Big Ten school. Yet during
those two years the Maroon football
team won only three game in 16
starts. Good football players simply
haven't been enrolling at Chicago
and many alumni doubt they ever
would start coming to the Midway
even should the institution return
to the sport.
Financial Benefits Seen.
Certain schools will benefit fnan-
cially by Chicago's decision. Ohio
State, which repeatedly lost some
$4OO playing Chicago here last fall
has scheduled Purdue to fill the
Maroon date next fall-and for the
Buckeyes that's just like finding
about $4,000. Michigan went out
and scheduled California and will
do all right at the gate in that
battle.
Should Pitt, for years one of the
games great drawing cards, come
into the Big Ten there's certain to
be a boom at the ticket offlces-ano
there still are a lot Of stadium bonds
to be retired. And as some of the
boys point out, that takes good old
coin of the realm-not tradition OF
sentiment.

Crew Eager for Race,
Money Available
To Send Tigers
Meet Stewards Regard
Delay in Arriving at
Decision Favorable
BY LAWRENCE PERRY,
Special lCorrasn0p dapt ~ The Gtn p

Special Correspondent OF The Star.
NEW YORK, Feb. Treason
exists for the belief that Princeton
freshman and varsity crews may
be found among the competing
eights at Poughkeepsie on June
18 next
Is it significant that athletic au-
thorities of Old Nassau did not,
as in past years, Immediately re-
gret the invitation Of the Inter-
collegiate Rowing Association to
send crews to the Hudson? Pough-
keepsie stewards think that it is.
Princeton asked for time in reach
ing dicision.
But there are other reasons for
at least a degree of confidence
that the Tigers will swing over the
4-mile route.
First there is the financial situ-
alton. The addition of $4,000 to
$4,000 to the rowing budget may be
required to defray the cost of pre-
pairing the varsity eight for the
Hudson classic and for maintain
ing the oarsmen at the scene for
some 10 days before the event.
Funds Believed Assured
In view of the athletic deficit at
Princeton, no such sum could be
spared. 1t would not, however, be
necessary. Full expenses covering
the trip and training have been
guaranteed from sources in Phila-
delphia.
With the financial problem thus
removed, Poughkeepsie regatta
authorities see the conflict of the
June examinations as the only OBJ
stacle and this, it seems, is not
so difficult as was the case last
year.
In all other respects the prospect
is regarded as favorable. The ath-
letic council at Princeton went on
record last year as approving the re-
quest of Princeton oarsmen for per-
mission to row at Poughkeepsie-
provided conditions could be ad-
Justed to this end. That they could
not be so adjusted in 1889 is not
taken to mean they cannot be ar
ranged this year.
Crewmen Eager to Go.
The idea of entering 4-mile
rowing is keenly supported by ma
jority, if not all, of Princeton's most
influential rowing alumni, headed by
Heinie Leh and the Rutherfords.
They reflect the desire of the oars
men who feel that indulgence in
short-distance racing does not alone
provide sufficient point to a season.
AS the Princeton rowing schedule
for the coming spring stands, rowing
at Nassau will cease with the regatta
of May 18. To begin work in jan
uary on the machines and outdoors
as soon as Lake Carnegie is clear
of ice, not overlooking two months of
practice in october and November,
is regarded by the creWmen as lot
of effort in return for the fun of
rowing three events at distances
under miles.
Since Princeton oarsmen invari-
ably are of proper stature and
physique for rowing, the cause of
Nassau might prosper on the broad
bosom Of the Hudson. This would
depend great deal upon the coach
ing now handled by Fred Spuhn,
who came to Princeton on the rec
ommendation of Edward Leader,
from New Haven where he had
handled the freshman and 150-
pound eights. =.
