Co|oniaIs, Once Big
Choice, Now Given
Only Small Edge
Wilson in Home Clash,
Cards and Eagles See
Action in Baltimore
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

Every college basket ball team in
town, except Georgetown and GAL
laudet, is scheduled for action to-
night, but with the George WASH
ington- Maryland game having as
sumed fresh zest by recent develop
ments, all others are dwarfed in
significance by the resumption of
the local rivalry at College Park.
Wilson Teachers is to entertain
Bridgewater and both American and
Catholic Universities go to Balti-
more for games with Johns Hopkins
and Loyola, respectively, but the
spotlight squarely is on the big affair
at Ritchie Coliseum.
For there, a Maryland quint which
once loomed a pushover for G. w.,
now threatens to run an admittedly
in-and-out Colonial five right out
of the spacious gym in which it has
been well-nigh invincible this win
ter. Yet. If George Washington is
on its game, it may stage routing
act of its own.
It's all very questionable and
answers will not be forthcoming
until 8:15 o'clock, when the. two
teams, each of which has won IL
games, line up against each other
G. w. Has Superior Squad.
Because it has lost only four
games compared to the seven drop
ped by Maryland, and because 1t is
conceded to have superior all-around
material, G. w. still rules a slight
favorite in the pre-game figuring
Yet Duke, leader of the Southern
Conference, has been beaten only
once in IL loop starts this season,
and that was by the Terps at College
Park.
Unofficial though it may be, the
District Metropolitan Area cham
pionship will 60 to the winner.
Both G. w. and Maryland have
beaten Georgetown, which in turn
has licked American u, and Mary
land gave Catholic U. a sound lacing
only last Saturday night.
It is memories of that same night,
incidentally. which give G. w. en-
thusiasts the jitters over their
chances tonight, for a West Vir-
ginia team which barely defeated
Georgetown here recently, licked
the Colonials by Is points up at
Cumberland. Had G. w. taken that
game, they, would have been pro-
hibitive favorites tonight.
CoIonials Better Balanced.
The biggest difference between
this evenings rivals is that while
Maryland depends almost entirely
upon George De Witt, its great for
ward, and Merle Duvall for the bulk
of its scoring, G.. w. has five classy
all-around players, any one of whom
is apt to break out in a point making
rash.
At one time or another this sea-
son Capt. George CARRIER, Reds
Auerbach, Joe Conner, Matt Zunic
and Bobby Gillian have led the Co.
lonials to victory, but when Mary
land has won it has been largely
due to the work of De Witt or Du
Vail. Bill Rea, Pershing Mondorff
and Milton Mulitz are better floor
men than they are scorers.
Once again, the contest will be a
spectacle of zone defense pitted
against man-for-man guarding with
Maryland continuing to play the
former. G. w. hasn't been against
too many zones this year, that be-
ing one of the things that stopped it
last Saturday, but Nays gave it
little trouble.

Erwin's S Boxing Entry
Al Riverside Puts
Turner on Spot
Jim Takes Stadium Job
Where 1t Was Believed
Joe Would Function

One of the busiest outdoor boxing
seasons in the last five years vir-
tually was assured for Washington
today, as Jimmy Erwin, veteran pro-
moter and manager of former
Featherweight Champion Petey
Sarron, prepared to take over as
matchmaker for Riverside Stadium
Erwin will toll for Severine Leoffler
an optimist of first water, who fore
sees a profitable year for boxing at
his little hockey pond.
Erwin's appearance on the scene
came as somewhat of a surprise as
Leoffler and Turner were supposed
to have a verbal agreement con-
cerning boxing at Riverside. Tur-
ner only recently relinquished all
claims to Griffith Stadium, to which
he held exclusive rights, apparently
on the presumption he would pro-
mote at the ice arena. Goldie
Ahearn, Turner's one-time partner
applied for and was granted per-
mission to promote at the ball park
so Joe now finds himself out in the
cold.
Joe's Status Uncertain.
Where Turner stands or what he
intends to do could not be ascer-
tained this morning as he was In
New York corralling material TO,
next weeks show at the Arena. Joe
only last week was forced back into
the fight business by Ahearn's sud-
den retirement from the field fol-
the remainder of the indoor season
1t is not improbable, however, that
Turner and Ahearn will stage shows
on alternate Mondays at the ball
park as Ahearn plans only BIZ
monthly matches.
Another possibility is that they
will reunite to present a solid front
against the new competitor al
though this is rather remote. One
thing certain Turner will not leave
the field to his adversaries without
q fight. He is obliged to promote to
help meet the overhead at his
arena and will figure ways and
means of getting into the scramble
for patronage.
Erwin Glad to Return.
Erwin said he would Jump at an
opportunity to return to Washington
where he first broke into the big
time. Jimmy maneuvered Sarron
into the featherweight title here in
a match with Freddy Miller, and
made a substantial profit with the
little man at Portner's and Twin
City Arenas. Erwin said Leoffler
sought him as matchmaker and
Leoffler had it the other way around,
but it still seems to be a good part
nership.
With Leoffler's cash and his ex-
perience Erwin should be able to
give the fans good cards. He Is cur
rently promoting in Birmingham
and doing well enough, although not
well enough to welcome an oppor-
tunity to try his luck at Riverside.

MentoI Beating Terrific
On Links. Armour Saws

II recall more than one golf tour
nament," Armour told me, where I
had much rather step up and slap
Louis or Dempsey across the mouth
than tackle 3-foot putt where I
had the yips or the jitters and I
knew what that putt meant to me.
I've seen Bobby Jones suffer far
more than Jess Willard ever suffered
against Dempsey at Toledo-far
more than Joe Louis or Max Schmel-
ing ever suffered in their two fights
where both were knocked out.
Few will believe this. But every
thinking human being will know
am right. What is real punishment?
AL is largely on the mental or nerve
side. That's the punishment you
take in tournament golf"
Which brought to my mind the re-
mark Sailor Tom Sharkey gave me
when spoke of his broken ribs in
the Jeffries fight
"Wotthehei are few broken ribs
or broken jaw? What do they
matter?"
In the way of suffering or punish
ment, the physical side is completely
unimportant when compared to the
departments of nerves and brain.

Brewery Not Importont
On PhysicoI Side

"Any OK can take a physical beat
ing. That's no test of courage
Courage has little to do with the
physical side. 1t has almost every
thing to do with the nerves and the
mental side"
Golf calls for the courage of the
civilized human being-not the
human animal"
Tommy Armour is 100 per cent
right in this diagnosis. I've seen
Christy Mathewson, one of the
smartest and gamest baseball pitch
ers that ever lived-Gene Tunney
one of the smartest and gamest
fighters of all time-not only blow
up completely in golf game, but
also refuse to accept the nerve and
mental punishment that golf often
demands-especially on off days.
I saw an all-America guard al
most collapse during a golf tourna-
ment, because in football he never
had been called on to face the dead
1ier punishment that only nerves and
the brain can know.

Broin, Nerve Punishment
Deemed Most Severe

What sport brings the greater
punishment? Tommy Armour, the
Silver Scot of golf, happens to be a
World War veteran and one of the
closest and keenest followers of box
ing, football and baseball that
know.
Armour, winner of both the United
States and British open, also the
P. G. A., has the type of brain to
cover broader fields.
when it comes to taking punish
ment," Armour told me, there ism t
even an argument The answer is
golf. Some one fights Joe Louis and
probably is knocked out in a few
rounds He only has to absorb physi-
cal punishment for a short while.
Golf is different. The physical
part is minor matter. The suffer-
ing in golf belongs to nerves-and
also to the brain attempting to con-
centrate. 1t is like having nerve
pulled from tooth. In golf you
take this beating from four to eight

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Feb. 20
(N.A.NA).-Few people among the
sideline or noncombatant contingent
of sport, including over 100000
golfers, appreciate the toughest
scramble now taking place in compe-
tition. This scramble involves the
job of finishing in the money among
the leading golf pros of the United
States.
Their 1000 mile trek from Florida
to California, now back to Florida
again via Arizona and Texas, and
Louisiana, finds them facing $4,000
in prize money at New Orleans this
week, where the job of eating and
sleeping under roof is no minor
consideration to more than few.
The New Orleans $4,000 show is
one of the high spots and the hot
spots of the year.
The Miami four-ball show also
must be listed among golf's head
liners.
They are two magnificent compe-
titions where class runs many deep
and where human drama has quite a
story to tell.

NAVY HEADQUARTERS HERE

Civic organizations and many citizens
of Key West have been studying the pro-
posed setting up of a separate naval dis
trict for the State of Florida ever since the
hint was dropped by Senator Andrews that
he was moving towards that end. Con-
sensus is that this city would be the most
favored of all present bases in the state.
Accordingly, and just to remind the
powers in control of such matters, many of
the local groups have wired reminders on
the subject to Senator Andrews and our
other legislators in Washington
The Gibraltar of America-G Guardian
of the Caribbean-Furtheres South of all
Bases-Nearest to Panama Canal; these
and many more catch phrases come to
mind to remind the naval authorities of
cOgent reasons why Key West should be
designated as headquarters of the seventh
district-to-be.
AS a special release Oh the subject
stated this week, there is precedent for
making the new district stretch almost en-
tirely around the whole of Florida. That
being the status in days gone by-why not
the same for the present and future?
Key Vests glorious past in connec-
ticn with naval affairs of the nation speaks
forth at this time in favor of reviving those
days. A good-sized step has been taken
already towards matching of the days
gone by. Completion of the picture will
come when the Island City is designated
as headquarters city.
The Citizen feels that all organiza-
tons in the city should send messages to
our representatives in Washington in sup
port of bringing headquarters honors to
this city. Much is to be gained from such
designation. No effort should be left I'M
done to gain the end that, according to re-
ports, other cities of the state are striving
for.
Key West-headquarters of the Sew
enth Naval District! Sounds good to US.
Let's make it a reality.

UNCLAIMED MILLIONS

In view of the conditions which have
prevailed the last few years it would seem
that almost anyone who had ready money
available would be nquiring about it, es-
pecially if it were not producing any in
come.
Yet the treasurer of the United States
some time ago stated that more than SO
million dollars due American citizens as
principal and interest on matured Liberty
bonds and Victory notes remained un-
claimed in the treasury.
Many theories are advanced con-
corning this seeming Indifference on the
part Of holders of these government obli-
cations, each of which may be correct as
to certain portions of the large sum in
volved
Some of these bonds and notes have
doubtless been destroyed by fire or other
wise, others have been hidden away and
forgotten, still other holders do not know
that their securities have been called for
redemption, while some know they can get
their money but prefer to leave it with
Uncle Sam.
1t has been rumOred that good many
purchasers of Liberty bonds Thought they
were simply donating the amount paid to
help the country win the war, and at least
one case is known in which the holder of a
Liberty bond inquired of the treasury to
find out when he must pay interest
on it.
Whatever the reason for not present
ing these bonds and notes for payment, the
government is not doing the worrying. If
no claim is made for any amounts due, the
treasury is just in that much.

PEDESTRIAN ASSERTS RIGHTS

When he came up to the car the
pedestrian quietly opened the rear door OF
the sedan, on his side, stepped into the car,
opened the door on the other side and step
ped out, leaving both doors wide open.
The motOrist had to get out of his car
