By Trimming Olympics

reported to be a fine skater and op-
perfume scorer.
One of the most prominent
Olympics is chunky Ty Anderson,
a defenseman who barely missed
becoming an Eagle last season
when Mackenzie shifted from At
lantic City to Washington. He had
counted on Ty, who played under
Red when the latter was coaching
the Sea Gulls, following him here.
Anderson, an American-born
player from New England, joined
the Olympics after much delibera-
ton, but he still holds the esteem
of Mackenzie, who rates him one of
the finest defensemen amateur
hockey ever has known.
Will Receive Testimonial.
Some idea of how the Eastern
League regards him is reflected in
the fact Anderson will be rendered
a testimonial on Sunday afternoon
at Madison Square Garden, in
which Ty will be named the leagues
most valuable player over a span
of years.
The Olympics also own an out
standing performer in Goalie Vic
Polidh. who has sparkled con-
sistently this season despite Bos-
tons fifth-place standing. Chief
scoring threat of the Olympics, at
least against Washington, has been
Paul Guibord, former Dartmouth
captain.

Washington's quest Of an eighth
straight undefeated game, which au-
tomatically would move 1t one big
step nearer the Eastern Amateur
Hockey League championship, will
absorb the Eagles tonight when they
tangle with the Boston Olympics at
Riverside Stadium at $50 o'clock.
The Olympics. who have won only
one game, tied three and lost seven
in action against the Eagles this
season, seemingly have aroused the
wrath of burly Ross Knipfel, Wash
ington defenseman, who is threat
ening to bop several of the Boston
boys.
In Revengeful Mood.
Knipfel claims he was the victim
of a neat going lover in Boston over
the week end, when the Eagles
played two games, and has appointed
himself a one-man gang to sooth his
ruf1ed dignity.
Washington will be bolStered for
the contest by the addition of Wal
ter Thompson, wing, recruited
from the Port Colborne Sailors of

By LEWIS F. ATCHISON.

George Washington won't be in
the New York pOst-Season basket
ball tournament after all. 1t ought
to, of course, after frying st. Johns
of Brootlvn to a crisp last night at
Riverside. 59-42, but a couple of
fresh angles have developed to alter
the Colonials' course.
Instead, Coach Bill Reinhart's
troupe will enter the N. c. A. A.
tournament scheduled next week at
Madison, Wis. A bid to the Madison
Scuare Garden tournament, directed
BY Ned Irish. hinges on the outcome
of the downtown schools game to-
morrow with Georgetown, but 1t is
reliably reported that win, lose or
draw in this, their last regularly
scheduled game, the Colonials are
"ir" for the N. C. A. A. affair.
Not only irish, but Asa Bushnell,
commissioner of Eastern intercol-
le~iate sports, witnessed last nights
game. Both were visibly impressed
by G.. WIS smart, driving game,
which swept st. Johns before it like
a thin, brown leaf in an autumn
breeze. Both Irish and Bushnell
talked with Graduate Manager Max
harrington of George Washington
after the game, but all maintained
ticht-lipped silence as to future
plans.
1t is reported that G. w. will be
designated as representative for this
area in the N. c. A. A.
Coach Bill Reinhart refused to
discuss the matter of tournaments.
He's got his fingers crossed for the
Georgetown game and won't even
think about poSt-seaSon bids until
it's over. Despite the fact that his
boys looked the part of champions
last night Reinhart feels the
Georgetown game will be the hard
est on the schedule, that G. w. will
have to show the same form it ex-
hibited last night and that 1t will
be a difficult matter to get the squad
back to that high plane.
The most heartening phase Of the
victory was that Bobby Gillian, Lou
VeItri, Charley Jones, Roy Mcneil
and Joey Gallagher carried on in
high gear without sign of a let
down after Zunic and Joe conner
were evicted on fouls. zunic has
been the cornerstone of the team
this season and most G. w. sup
porters had grave misgivings about
the final figures when he left the
game. But Matt was not the diff
ference between victory and defeat
last night. The gentlemen mostly
responsible for the victory were Lou
Veltri, who played brilliant floor
game, and Bobby Gillian, who re-
gained his scoring eye and tipped
II points through the hoop. They

like to coach or do something that
has to do with baseball. But I know
that can play ball now"
Ossie refused the rendered con-
tract as a coach. He felt he wasn't
offered enough money. II know that
I can help any ball club" he said.
I'm not trying to be egotistical. I
won't knock down any fences but
for nearly 20 years I've averaged
.275 at the bat and all of those years
were spent in the Washington park,
biggest in the majors. People don't
take the size of parks into considera-
tion. I've been retired by fly balls
many time in Washington. If they
had been hit in Boston or Detroit,
where the fences are short, would
have had a better lifetime average"
Archie Gets Oss o. X.
To make it brief, OsS wants to be
placed on the active list again. His
argument has some merit. One OF
the greatest defensive players Of
all time. he still can play any po-
sition in the Washington infleld
better than any of the regulars, with
the possible exception of First Base
man George Archie, the rookie.
Archie receives praise from Cae-
sar. He'll end Bucky's worries
about that place" Oss said. He
knows how to play the bag. But I
feel that I would be more valuable
on the active list than as a coach"
Ossie would not amplify, but it is
not difficult to see the meaning.
He can play any post in the infleld
with equal dexterity-and this is a
brand of dexterity almost impossible
to match.
Griffith wants to retain Bluege
as a coach, keeping the two players
who fail to win the second base job
as utility players. Three men are
entered in the contest for that post
