Head Reports
Banner Year
Refrigerator Ira d e
Also Hits Record
for 9Th Year in Row
BY JAMES T. BUCKLEY
President. Philco Radio Corporation


PHILADELPHIA, Jan. An
terms of the number of units sold,
the quality of their products. and
the dollar values provided for the
consumer, the radio receiving set
and refrigerator industries are
concluding their most successful
year. While many lines of activity
are still seeking to regain the
levels they reached in 1929, the
refrigerator industry has sur
passed that record by a substan-
tial margin in each of the past
eight years and radio manufac-
turing in every year since 1885.
For radio. the year 1910 has
been of special significance be-
cause it marked the twentieth an
niverSary of broadcasting, which
is generally regarded as having
started in November. 1920. So
important has radio become in
this short time that ii is today
an integral part of our modern
ways of living. 1t is estimated
that approximately 50000,000 ra-
dio sets are in use today.
While better manufacturing and
merchandising techniqueS have
contributed in no small measure
to the forward march of the radio
industry, the Importance of re-
search and engineering should not
be overlooked. New and better
circuits improved tubes and ad-
vanced types of speakers have all
contributed TO make today'S radio
sets far superior TO those of even
a few years ago. One of the most
striking illustrations of the con-
sumner benefits that the radio in
dustry has created is found in the
fact that an entire receiving set
may now be purchased for as
little as a few tubes used to cost.
At this time the prospect IS that
1871 will bring further progress in
many directions. While national
defense is the first concern of
every one, it would seem desirable
10 produce as large volume of
goods and services as possible
without actually interfering with
the manufacture of war materials.
In this way the standard of living
can be protected and the govern
ment provided with the revenues
necessary to carry out the defense
program.
The capital goods industries are
more active now than al any pre-
vious time in the past 10 years.
Employment is rapidly increasing
and people arc buying the things
they want and need in greater
quantities.

What Bill Smith didn't know
was that engineers. artists and
technicians started working on
that 1871 model way back in 1898
Yes. that's right. nearly three

work was actually started and the

Playing the final game until Janu-

Eagles return home with two con-

first road game Tuesday from Eliza

their second to the undefeated Dick

Delaware was off to an early lead

In the third period, however, the
Eagles staged their rally, tying the
count at 27-all and later at 31-31.
Dutch Schultze dropped an action

Western Takes on Tech,
Wilson and Anucostio
Do Bottle Tonight
By GEORGE HUBER.

First of the popular Friday night
double-headers in the high school
basket ball championship series goes
on this evening at Tech gym, with
Western and Tech clashing at 7:30
and Anacostia and Woodrow Will
son at $50.
It will be the first series activity
for Western, Tech and Wilson, Ana
costa having begun Tuesday by los
ing to Eastern. Both of this eve
ning's clashes should be exciting,
Tech and Western being considered
among the leading challengers for
Roosevelt's title, while the opposite
is true of Wilson and Anacostia,
both in the process of rebuilding.
Western Team Seasoned.
Westerns veteran quint, loser only
10 Georgetown freshmen in its four
games to date, will have holdovers
from last year at every starting po-
sition. The lineup will include Jim
Karas and Don Cross, forwards; Hal
Matchell, center, and Jake Hilleary
and Irving Schenker, guards. Com
parative scores would give the Raid
ers slight edge over Techs Ma
rooms, Western having defeated
Montgomery Blair, 28-18, while Tech
was forced to the limit to down the
same team, 22-l9.
Tech is undefeated, having downed
Mount Rainier and Hyattsville in
addition to Blair. 1t, too, will have
a veteran squad on the floor. the
probable starters being Jackie Walsh
and Shrimp Brewers, forwards;
Buddy Webb, center, and Ed Barton
and Johnny Catloth, guards.
Not Counted Out of Race.
Even though Anacostia and Will
son are considered among the
weaker teams in the series neither
is being counted out Immediately.
The green Wilson squad is working
better than last seasons senior outfit
and Coach Tony Kupka has hopes
it will reach the playof1s. His
starters probably will be Eddie Pol
hamus and Fred Vinson, forwards;
Don Hillock, center, and Bud Lem
erise and Bobby Bedell, guards. Zip
Lehr at Anacostia also will have a
green but spirited squad on the floor
with Orsman Peterson and Elmer
Leukhardt, forwards: Fred Adams,
center, and Lem Sullivan and John
Penn, guards.
The series double-header is only
one of numerous scholastic attrac-
tions on today's schoolboy program
Westinghouse and George WASH
ington Highs have important con-
ference games at home, the Gen.
erals entertaining Hopewell and the
Presidents meeting Thomas Jeffer-
son of Richmond. Other night

One of the outstanding players
in the American Basket Ball League
for the past 10 years will make his
local debut with the Baltimore
Clippers Sunday night at Riverside
Stadium when they face the Wash

George Slott, highly regarded
member of the New York Jewels

to the Clippers for Allie Schuckman
and is expected to bolster the lowly
Baltimore entry, which hasn't won
a game in 10 starts.
Also appearing with the Clippers
will be Mike Bloom, former WASH

another recent acquisition.
Tomorrow night the Brewers will
invade Philadelphia for game
with the league-leading Sphas. cur
rently boasting an edge of one game
over the New York Jewels and two
games over the third place Brewers.

Howard Quint Away
To Flying Start in
Race for Title

Howard University's quint opened
its Colored intercollegiate Athletic
Association season with 1894 vic
tory over the st. Paul Institute toss
ers of Lawrenceville, Va, in an over
time game on the university floor
last night.
In an uphill battle that saw the
Bisons overcome 9-point half-time
deficit, Bill Giles, top scorer of the
game, hit the cords for points in
the first few minutes of the second
half after his team had appeared
outclassed by the Virginians in the
opening half.
Fine shooting by Giles and Fresh
man Moose Fletcher in the final
period forced the game into the ex-
ira period and a pair of one-handed
shots by Flip Jackson and charity
toss by Capt. Perry Jones gave How
ard it's 5-point margin of victory.
