Sphas Have Goldman
At Center Again, So
Brewers Worry
D. c. Basket Pros Expect
AII-Americu TO Give
Them Much Trouble

Word that Moe Goldman, the
Philadelphia Sphas' outstanding
center last season, would be back in
the champions lineup at Turner's
Arena tonight when they come here
to meet the Washington Brewers has
the latter in anything but a happy
frame of mind.
Goldman, a 6-foot-4 190-pounder
who was All-America for C.. C. N. Y,
has been out of action for a month
and his return means that the Sphas
will be at top strength for the first
time this season Currently, the
champions are half game behind
the third-place Brewers.
Washington. incidentally, will be
out to snap a two-game losing streak
after capturing their first two games
in the campaign. Coach Mack Pos
mack is contemplating only one
change in his regular lineup, a
switch which would send Rookie
Irving Rizzi of Georgetown to guard.
Otherwise the Brewers starting team
of Ben Goldfadden, Whitley Wilson.
Herman Knupple and Nat Frankel
will take the floor.
The Brewer-Spha game will start
at 9 o'clock, preliminary being
held at 7:30 o'clock.

topped the list in 1936-37-38 and 80,

in 1882.
1t was no runaway. however, for
the Yanks as they polled 1913 votes
from the IS experts taking part in
the balloting. Minnesota's GopherS,
winner of II straight football games
and the Nations top gridiron eleven
for the last two years, received l65
tallies on the basis of three votes
for first, 2 for second and for third
Only five writer's failed to name
the Yankees for one of the three
spots. Forty-nine rated the Bombers
first, % second and 7 third. The
Gophers received Is first place votes,
AZ seconds and 6 thirds.
The race was strictly tWo-team
affair. With the Chicago Bears
finishing third with % points, 2 more
than the Brooklyn baseball Dodgers,
the other first place votes were
divided among seven teams.
The Bears and Dodgers received
two each, the Texas football Long
horns, three, which helped them
finish fifth with 18 points, and the
Washington State basket ball team
and the Notre Dame, Duke and ONO
State gridiron elevens, one apiece.
Wisconsin's N. C. A. A. basket ball
champs failed to receive a first place
vote, but got enough seconds and
thirds to tally IA points.
University of Washington's Pough-
keepsie rowing kings broke into the
scoring with 7 points while the Bos-
ton Bruins headed the hockey field
with Az tallies.
