Adam Quint, Defending A.A.U.
Title, Protested by Petworth

The defending champion Adam
Hat basket ball team may be tossed
out of the District A. A. U. tourna-
ment now being conducted at
Heurich gymnasium if protest
lodged today by the Petworth A. C.
is upheld.
Petworth A. c., through Manager
r. j. Wheaton, is claiming Joe
Crisafulli and Abe Fillah, who scored
Is points between them last night
as Adam Hat registered 59-37 VIC
tory over Petworth, are ineligible.
John Poston, Adam Hat manager,
has been requested to present proof
to Joe Bertolini, chairman of the
District A. A. U. Basket Ball Com
mittee, that both Crissafulli and
Fillah played at least two games
with his team during the regular
season.
Favored to win the District A. A. U.
championship, Adam Hat tossers
will be given the old heave-ho unless
Crissafulli and Fillah did play at
least two games each with that
team since December Is. If the
protest is upheld Petworth A. c.
will be back in the tourney.
Ironically, Adam Hat needed
neither Crissafulli nor Fillah to win
last night. Merrill Holdings and
Berry between them scored SO points,
or only 4 less than the entire Pet
worth club.

Virginia Will Send

Cavaliers in 8 Events
As They Defend Title
In A. A. U. Division

University of Virginia will have a
total of IA athletes in eight events
of the University of Maryland-5th
Regiment games in the latter's big
Baltimore armory the night of
March 7.
The Cavaliers. who carried off the
A. A. U. trophy last winter with 9l2
points, will be represented in five
events in this section in an effo'-1,
to repeat, and their chances are
bright.
Todd Is Capable Hurdler.
One of their entries is Tommy
Todd, who appears to be the best
hurdling prospect in the South At
lantic sector. He scored at Chapel
Hill last week without being ex-
tended in the 70-yard highs, which
he will run in Baltimore, his time
being 0:087. He appears sure to
place despite that this field will be
led by Fred Wolcolt world cham
pion, and Alan Tolmich, record
holder at the 7O's in 0:084, also is
expected in the race
Edward Campbell, who will be in
the college 70-yard sprint. is an
other who won at Chapel Hill and
who rates with best who will try
their luck in this test on March T.
Campbell as freshman ran second
to Doolan of Georgetown in the A.
A. U. sprint a year ago.
Virginia is making a strong bid
in the collegiate 440, in which it has
entered a quartet who usually are
the four parts of the Cavalier relay
team.
Grid Aces to Compete.
Two of its contestants were stars
on the Cavalier eleven last fall. Lee
Mclaughlin. who captained the
gridders, is in the shop-put and
Bill Suhling, regular center, will
high jump.
Virginia's complete entries are:

Tomorrow Night
Winning Chances Slim,
But Team Is Likely
To Guther Points

Although Georgetown will make q
serious bid for the I. c. "A indoor
crown in the championship games
tomorrow night at New York its
hopes of finishing among the three
leading teams, much less on top Of
the heap, are slim at best.
New York u. took the title last
year with 27 points culled from
seven events. The Violet took three
first places, but clinched the honors
by picking up points in various other
positions, and this balance may be
the deciding factor again tomorrow
night.
Coach Banks on BIOZis.
Coach Hap HardelI can count on
Al Blozis for a first place in the
shot and possibly on Earl Audet for
the runnerup points. That would
give the Hoyas nine to begin with,
but after that their fortunes will
be OF nebulous nature But Hardell,
sort Of shooting at the moon, is
entering a heavy list of runners
and hoping, with fingers crossed, for
couple of pleasant surprises.
He has Mort AlnWick and Jack
Doolan in the 60-yard sprint and
Charley Williams in the 6OO-yard
run. Ken Lyden and Jim Fish will
go to the post for the 1000 Phil
Carnevale will start in the mile;
Doolan and Dave Wiley will broad
Jump and the latter also will try
his hand at pole-vaulting. These
are the boys on whom Georgetown's 3
hopes rest. If they can gather up
enough seconds, thirds and even
fourth places the Hoyas have an
outside chance, but they'll be run
ming against the cream of the crop
and large squads.
G. U. Is Dark Horse.
| Georgetown is a horse Of the
darkest hue in this meet. WILEY is
good all-around trackman and
may surprise in the pole vault, al
though he'll have to be close to Il
feet to get anything and he hasn't
had too much practice this year.
Lyden is distinct threat in the
1000 and there is a possibility
Alnwick may place in the sprint.
Carnevale can give a good account
of himSelf in the mile when right.
but is he ready?
You can't sell the team short. but
It's got a man-sized fight on its

But the most remarkable angle of
the game was that they grabbed a

Full Squad Makes Trip
For First Court Tilt
In Eight Days

With wary eye on the finale with
George Washington next week.
Georgetown's courtmen were off to
New York today for their last road
game of the season against Fordham.
Expecting bang-up battle with
the Rams, Coach Elmer Ripley let
the Hoyas off with a light workout
yesterday. Every player is in good
shape and the entire squad was to
make the trip.
Idle eight days since its last game
with Scranton, Georgetown may not

record shows. 1t was off a week be-

game of a three-game road trip and

CLAIM VALUE DROP

Principal objection TO the new
air terminal, as expressed by resi-
dents of the area surrounding the
site, is that the value of S72,00O,-
600 worth of property will be adj
versely affected. There will be a
resulting loss in tax receipts to
the county and surrounding mu-
inequalities. the petition states.
Other objections are listed in a
21-page document TO be handed to
the council. The airport would in
reality be subSidization of COM
mercial airlines, the report states,
and would result i'm an operating
deficit at the present city airport.
Other objections stated are that
site is not Strategically situated
for defense purposes because it IS
too near Detroit and that the
S6,000,000 estimated cost of the
project would only be part of the
actual cost.
The association suggests as an
alternative that the city use the
Wayne County Airport, which IS
nearer to downtown Detroit than
the proposed airport.
