In. End Half,
Bows, 44-31
BY GEORGE MAsKIN

Maybe il was because. as the
teams coach, Newman Ertell, said:
I'VE couldn't hit a shot"
Or maybe it was because the
opposition presented too much
hustle.
Or maybe II was because the
home teams scoring balance was
a far cry from thatNof the opposi-
ton. ~ -e
Despite the reasoR hgwever, the
result was the sanIS. Wayne Uni
versity's basketball NeaHaN played
one of its poorer games>of~the sea-
son last night in bowling to Akron.
44-31, at the Central High gym.
SCORE NOT JUSTICE
The score doesn't do the Wayne
team justice. For half the home
forces outplayed the invaders who
came TO town with a 52-point av-
erage for their last nine games.
Wayne was out in front. 20-16,
when the second half started.
Then the fun-the Akron fun
started. For the next 10 minutes.
there wasn't much of anything ac-
complished by Wayne.
While holding the Tartars to a
single basket by Paul Nunez,
Akron doubled its total. The big
noises in the spree were big
Johnny Lutsch &c feet 2 inches)
with two baskets and pair of
fouls, and small Harold Rosenthal
Is feet 5 inches) with two baskets.
MORE POWER TACTICS
Akron resumed its power tactics
after Gerard Richards bounced one
in for Wayne at the halfway mark
in the second period. The Ohio
team was just making sure it
evened the series with Wayne.
Each team now has won twice.
Lutsch and Ben Flossie divided
scoring honors for Akron with II
points apiece. Nunez led Wayne
with six.
The Akron five takes on Law
renee Tech at Hackett Field House
tonight. WAYNE has nothing On the
docket until next Thursday when
the Tartars conclude their sched-
ule facing Western State at Cen
trail.

a victory, 60-44. over the Univer-

opponents.
They scored upsets in the two

and with speedy Hal Stickel

low hurdles and 60-yard dash, al
most completely dominated the
running events. That was the end
of the Pittsburgh saga, however.

SET POLE VAULT MARK

Michigan dominated the rest of
the field, and in Charley Decker,
presented the only record-breaker
of the evening. The dark haired
Michigan youth cleared 10 feet,
10A inches in the pole vault to
break the all-time university rec

1t was more the versatility as
demonstrated by Frank Mccarthy,
sophomore from Birmingham.

ines performance. Mccarthy won
second place in the 65-yard high
hurdles, the high jump, the broad
jump and a third in the high
jump.
Michigan had plenty of power in
the field events, too. Bill Carriers

Plumbing Inspector
Is Appointed for
Prince Georges
Three Communities Ask
County to Create
improvement Districts
By Staff Correspondent of The Star.

BY Staff Correspondent Of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, May
14.-Charles w. Parker, so, veteran
Capitol Heights master plumber, was
named plumbing inspector by the
Prince Georges County Commission
ers at their regular meeting here
yesterday.
Mr.. Parker, who has engaged in
the plumbing business for the last
81 years, will receive a salary OF
$1,000 annually and an allowance of
$500 for travelling expenses. He
learned his trade in Washington and
moved to Capitol Heights IN 1915,
where he has been engaged IN busi-
ness ever since.
The appointment followed a re-
cent suggestion by c. L. Wood, the
countrys chief sanitarian, who urged
creation of the Office to assure OBJ
servance of the State plumbing laws
by county home builders.
Seek Improvement Districts.
The county commissioners re-
ceived requests from the Rogers
Heights Citizens Association and
residents of the Avondale and North
Woodbridge communities to create
special improvement districts in the
sections including and surrounding
the unincorporated areas.
The Rogers Heights request was
voiced by William Brown, association
president. Under terms Of an act
passed at the recent session of the
Legislature, the county commission
ers are authorized to set up such a
district, which would provide for
improvements such as sidewalks,
streets, sewers and lights, and gar
bage and trash collection facilities.
No delegation represented the other
two communities, a written petition
being filed for them.
Such improvements as lights and
trash and garbage collection would
be financed by an ad valorem tax
wnlle streets, sidewalks and sewers
would be financed by a front foot
benefit tax. Bonds would be issued
by the county commissioners to
provide immediate funds and the
tax revenue would be used to pay
off the bond issue.
Bill Effective June 1.
Boundary limits of the proposed
Rogers Heights area would begin on
the south at the Bladensburg town
limit and run north along Edmons-
ton road to a point about 1000 feet
north of Carriers lane just south of
East Riverdale. On the west, the
boundary would begin at the
Edmcnston town limit and continue
east about a mile beyond Edmonston
road
The bill unuer which the area
may be set up will become effective
June !. If the commissioners ap-
prove the plans the next step will
be petition of the residents of the
areas listing the improvements
desired. After that a hearing would
be held when the bill goes into
effect.
