ANN ARBOR, Mich, March 81
Matt Mann and his Michigan SWIM
mers. who have loaded down the
Wolverine trophy case with spoils
from years of triumphs, figure on
building up the collection still more
this week.
Fresh from an eighth straight
conquest in the annual National
Collegiate Athletic Association
championships, the fast and expert
Wolverines are going after second
consecutive National A. A. U. title
The A. A. U. championships. fea-
turing the country's best talent, will
be held at the University of Michi-
gan pool Friday and Saturday. If
Michigan wins the team crown
again, it will have accomplished a
feat without precedent in tank
annals.
Scores Close n. C. A. A. Victory.
Coach Mann's greatest team I
ever had" beat out Yale by three
points for the N. c. A. A. champion
ship last week. Victory this week
would give Michigan a two-year
sweep of the N. C. A. A.. the A. A. U.
indoor and the Big Ten champion
ships.
The Ellis, Eastern intercollegiate
champions, fought the Wolverines
across virtually the last wave before
bowling in final events Saturday
night. and Michigan's task this week
end perhaps will be no easier.

Offsets Poor Record
AT Augusta Doping
Him This Time
Oyercomes LittIe's Lead
Of 5 Shots in Tourney
Of Too Many Puts
By BILL RONI,
;iated Press Sports Writer.


ASHEVILLE, N. c., March 81
Having scored his first individual
victory of the winter and entrenched
himself more solidly as the head OF
the cash-won list, Ben Hogan goes
on to Augusta today as one of the
top choices for the Masters Golf
Tournament starting there Thurs
day.
Several days ago IA of the leading
pros made Byron Nelson their choice
to win the Masters, with Sam Snead
second and Hogan third. But the
fact that Hogan proved in yeSter-
days final rounds of the Land OF
the Sky" open that he can come
from behind under pressure is likely
to make him a dangerous man all
the way.
Ben never has done very we'll over
the Augusta national course That
weighed against him in his COL
leagues poll, especially since he came
into the Masters fresh from three
Carolina victories year ago and
did virtually nothing.
Hogan Deadly in Stretch.
But Hogan didn't do very well
over the Biltmore Forest Country
Club course yesterday morning,
either. Still he had it in him to
rally for q. 2-under-par closing So
that beat Lawson Little by two shots.
He did that in spite of 3-over-
par 7 on the sixth hole that made
him so mad he determined to go
au-out for the $1,000 top prize so
he could spend the money to dyna-
mite the green on which he took
four puts.
The See-saW finish was as wild as
the stock market in October, 1929,
except that scores were going up as
we'll as down. Hogan led Little four
shots starting the day; lost nine
be five back of the United States
open champ at lunchtime and then
made up those five and two besides
when Little took a battling final rs
because he couldn't get a putt to
drop.
Blown Puts Numerous.
All in all, the Asheville tourney,
with Hogan the winner for the Sec
ond year, should have been named
the tournament of too many puts"
Never have we seen so many fine
golfers miss the cup so often from
inside of feet. The green's were
satin slick for one thing and had
unexpected bumps that would de-
fleet even an 18-inch putt going
straight for the hole.
AS a result, the scores were far
higher than year ago. Hogan,
with a 284, was II shots over his
1910 winning total Little was 286.
Lloyd Mangrum 289, Craig Wood
290, and Sam Byrd Sam Snead and
Jimmy Thompson 29l. Only lo men
broke 300.

In an effort to keep pace with
the generally higher scores being
rolled by feminine bowlers of the
Capital and its environs, the
Washington Women's Duckpin
Association today had increased
all classifications two points for
its goth annual tournament,

Exceptions to the general rules are

tin area and Jones Falls sometimes

have been turned into fishermen IS

Special Stream Regula tiOns.
Big Hunting has a creel limit of
five fish with angling permitted
from am. until 7 pm. until the
end of April. Thereafter the closing
time is pm. Artificial flies only
no spinners-may be used. Fishing
is permitted every day.
Jones Falls also has a five-fish
limit with fishing times from $50
am. until pm. Artificial flies and
spinners may be used, nothing else.
The season opens tomorrow and
angling will be permitted then. but
for the rest of the season the stream
will be closed on Mondays and Tues
days as rest days.
The establishment of this special
section of Jones Falls is a boom TO
Washington and Baltimore anglers
alike. 1t is close to Baltimore and
will relieve some of the load from

anglers fished previously, leaving
that stream more for boys in that

Hoyds Finish Season
By Losing, but Give
Ice Hockey Boost
College Come Firmly
Established After
Third Campaign

Collegiate ice, hockey, as presented
by Georgetown University in three
years has earned a recognized place
in the Washington sports scene
and promises to come back stronger
than ever next season.
The HovaS ended their program
last night with a 81 defeat by Chet
Adairs College All-Stars, made up
of former college players now liv-
ing in Washington, giving them a
season record of four victories and
two losses. More than 5000 Specta-
tors turned out, making the second
near capacity crowd attracted this
season at Riverside Stadium by the
Hilltop icemen. A week ago the
crowd numbered 1000.
When Georgetown first entered
hockey competition three years ago
the team played only two games
at Chevy Chase Ice Palace. Last
year the Hoyas moved to Riverside
and almost assumed a self-support-
ing status. This year the university
co-operated with the team by sup
plying uniforms and aiding in the
booking of a good schedule. Moth
ing definite has been done, but it
is likely the sport will be given var
sity status before long.
Last nights game was fast all the
way. The All-Stars counted in the
first and second periods on goals by
Dick Sherman and Tom link.
Georgetown's goal was in the second
period by Jack McQueeney.

For Draining.
For similar protection against
rain the 4-inch concrete bed used
in the. ash pit is given a slight pitch
toward the flrebox opening to drain
off water. This concrete is curved
upward on the chimney, as shown
in the illustration, to aid this drain
age and to make the ash pit easier
to rake. The concrete bed inside the
chimney is similarly shaped
The concrete in both instances
rests on a bed of packed cinders
about . inches deep. This cinder
bed will keep frost out of the brick
and concrete in the winter and pre-
vent cracks. The mortar used in
laying up the brick is made of one
part of cement to three parts of
sand. This same mix plus crushed
stone or coarse gravel will make the
concrete fill for the beds.
The CRATES are made of 20-inch
lengths of half-inch iron reinforc-
ing rod commonly used in concrete
work. They are set in the brick
work on top of the third course

BY JULIAN STARR, Jr.

This column has received a num-
ber of requests for designs for out
door fireplaces, all with one thing
in common: No writer knew exactly
What he wanted. except that he
wanted something he could build
himself. Thus. it was left up to me
to decide whether the design should
be makeshift or planned for long,
satisfactory service.
After considerable investigation
I found that no two outdoor fire.
places were the same and that most
of them were styled TO harmonic
with garden landscaping. Also I
found that while all of them worked
reasonably well. many had certain
drawbacks. such as poor draft,
smoky chimneyS. insufficient cook
ing surface, fireboXeS that were too
deep or tops that were too low for
comfortable use.
500 Bricks Needed.
Because OF the amount of labor
4Ol OllC VIII uOCS 1llS OWii
work, I decided on a substantial de-
sign which would attempt to meet
most of these requirements. The ac-
companying illustration shows the
fireplace with one side sliced off to
reveal sectional details of the con-
struction. According to my own
estimate. about 500 bricks will be
needed. a bag or two of Portland
cement, yard of sand. half that
amount of cinders, iron for bracing,
CRATES and grill, and about 20
squares of tile for the Gaping.
Shale, field stone, or even paving
blocks can be used in place of the
brick. Some variation in the meas
urements given in the illustration is
possible without harmful results al
though the chimney and firebox
dimensions should be followed A 10

vided to protect the fireplace from

other, IA inches long, spans the
top of the draft opening in the
chimney. Both are shown in the
illustration.
I can't, in the space available
here, give a lesson in bricklaying
The pit for the fireplace is first
dug out and leveled up. Then, on
a shallow pudding of mortar the
first course is laid in place. The
best advice for a beginner is to use
plenty of mortar Also, wet down
the brick before laying them. Dry
brick absorb too much moisture
from the mortar and weaken it.
The foundation plan gives the
outside dimensions of the fireplace.
From it one can see that the two
sidewalks are double thickness while
the forward wall and chimney sides
are single brick thick. The CHM
ney is tied into the rear wall on
each second course. as shown in
the little detail sketches in the lower
right corner.
