6. W. Suffers Hardest
Blow in Going Of
Heady CARRIER
Also to Lose Auerbuch,
Aronson; Schmitt, Daily .
Finish at Hilltop

Five seniors bow out of the COL
legiate court picture tomorrow night
when George Washington and
Georgetown clash at Tech High in
the final game of their campaigns.
Georgetown loses the only District
boy in the group, Francis CRed}
DAILY, product of Tech, and Capt.
Johnny Schmitt, and while their 60
ing will be loss to the Hoyas
graduation is hitting the Colonials
an even more damaging blow. The
downtown school loses George Gar
ber, Red Auerbach and Mike Aron-
son.
DAILY and Schmitt saw relatively
little service this year. A notoriously
slow starter who needs plenty of
work to hit his stride and doesn't
warm up until February, DAILY was
relegated to a reserve role by Coach
Elmer Ripley and broke into the
lineup only occasionally. Schmitt
was slowed down by a baseball in
jury and played spasmodically.
Thus, their going will not be such
terrific jolt to next years plans.
One of G.. WIS Greatest.
Auerbach and Aronson will not be
too hard to replace at George Wash
ington but George Garber's going
leaves a void in the lineup that will
be difficult to fill CARRIER. in Coach
Bill Reinhart's opinion, is one OF the
best men he ever coached. He ranks
jug" with Bob Faris, Tommy
O'Brien, Hal Kiesel, Jack Butter
worth and Milt Schonfeld-all stars
in their own right, in mechanical
ability and puts him above those
men as floor general.
CARRIER was an all-city choice in
New York. where he played for
James Monroe High School He
established himself as an outstand-
ing player in his freshman year at
G. w. and won a regular berth on
the varsity team in his sophomore
year One of the unusual features
of his 3-year record is that he has
played in every game (56) since
joining the squad in November, 1887.
More than that. as proof of his
ability, George started every game.
Others were benched occasionally
because of injuries or a slump, but
CARRIER never was dislodged from
his regular post.
Brilliant and Versatile.
In his first season CARRIER scored
Ill points in II games. Last year,
playing more minutes than any
man on the squad, he rolled up 191
points in 81 contests. This year he
has 141 points to his credit in 18
games without even trying. A bril-
liant playmaker, ball handler, and
floor general, CARRIER is the lad who
made the Colonials click this winter.
He steadied erratic rockies and
helped blend them into a smooth
functioning group that fitted in with
more experienced players. His COM
petitive spirit kept them fighting
and frequently brought them from
behind when the cause seemed
hopeless.
His going will be a sore blow to
Reinhart and his plans for next
season and the coach probably
realizes it more than any one else.

NEW YORK, March 5.-Two
Washington, D. c., ringmen were
included in the field of go amateur
mitten manipulators who survived
the opening burst of fire in the
initial round of the Golden Gloves
tournament in progress here. Out
of the tournament will come the
Eastern team that will meet q
Western delegation for the national
championship.
Flyweight Danny Petro and
featherweight Gilbert Mayo were
the Washingtonians who advanced
Petro, whose victory swung him into
tomorrow nights semifinals, dubbed
Preston Ferrell of Newark for a
unanimous decision, giving the Jer-
sey boy a terrific beating around
the body. Mayo, who goes to the
quarter-f1nals, got an easy decision
over Bill Hurd of Newark. His per-
formance stamped him as one of the
outstanding contenders for the
crown.
Three other District gladiators fell
by the wayside, although one, jim
Brady, appeared to be the victim
of a poor decision. Brady bowed to
Stanley Coicz by a hairline margin
apparently after staging a winning
rally. Johnny Rogers, 160-pound
standard bearer, failed to fathom
Vance Boards style and fell easy
prey to the Atlantan's sharp shots
Leo Marcopolus was eliminated by
Glenn Banfield in a lightweight
bout that saw the loser on the car

CHAPTER 10,

"You can hurt me all you want
to-" Elaine told Melvyn scornfully,
not wincing now as his fingers kept
biting into her shoulders. You can
rant and rave and raise all the fuss
you want to. but I'm still not in
love with you and I'll never marry
you. Now stop acting like an idiot
and take your hands away from
mel"
Strangely, it wasn't anger that
churned through her, nor even an
noyance, nothing but pity, for in
Melvyn's eyes there had been more
than anger, there had been love,
the same look of love she had so
often seen flaming in Eric's eyes.
She laid her hand gently on his
shoulder and when she spoke again
her voice was soft, almost tender.
ut really isn't any use, Melvyn.
just love Eric no matter what
his faults may be. Perhaps that
might sound silly to you, but-well,
know my own mind BEST
All through the tense scene, en-
acted before her eyes, Jane had
sat still and quiet. wondering as
to the reason for it anyway and
feeling somewhat embarrassed at
being forced to witness a quarrel
which should have been conducted
privately. She coughed lightly to
let them know she was still there.
But Elaine, never suspected

radio work." she remarked, adroitly
changing the subject.
Realizing that Jane was trying
to break up the quarrel, Elaine
walked back to the couch again
and sat down. well, now we're
even. When I came here 1 didn't
know you could paint. Incidentally,
how did you make out with those
greeting-card companies?"
Jane Has Some Luck.
Jane patted her own back proudly.

viously trying to take his sister down

proud Of her to keep 1t secret. II
don't know why it is that women
get such lucky breaks, anyway.
