Pacific War Council,
Anxious Eye on Egypt,
Persists in Optimism
All Attending Agree
Bottle to Save Near East
Is Going Better
BY GARNETT d. HORNER.

The Pacific War Council kept an
anxious eye today on the battle
raging for Egypt, emphasizing the
vital effect which results of that
struggle may have on the Allied
position in the war against Japan.
Members Of the council, repre-
eenting those United Nations
actively fighting in the Pacific, dis
closed after a meeting with Presi-
dent Roosevelt yesterday that partic-
ular attention was given the Near
Eastern front in general review OF
the war situation.
AT present a lot depends on
what happens in Egypt" explained
Harold Butler, new British in
formation director in this country
who attended the council meeting
for the first time. TT looks as if
we are holding there" he added,
'and If that turns out to be right,
OF course the whole situation is i'm
proved"
Japan Councils Main Concern.
Dr.. Eelco Van Kleffens, Neither
lands Foreign Minister, pointed out
that while the war with Japan is the
''main dish" Of the Pacific War
Council, that front cannot be entire
" disassociated from other areas.
Especially on matters of supply, he
said, all fronts must be considered
as "one war"
Walter Nash, New Zealand Min
lister, describing the British holding
Of Marshal Erwin Rommels Axis
armies in Egypt as good" for the
present, pointed out that it was i'm
possible to know the final results OF
the battle there, although the stu
alton lis infinitely better than we
hoped for fortnight ago."
Mr.. Butler although emphasiz-
Ing that 1t was too early to be sure
Of anything in the Egyptian battle,
replied with an emphatic mo" when
asked If the outlook was discourage
ing. Mr.. Van Kleffens said there
were definite reasons" for encour-
agement. particularly on the basis
Of = longtime perspective.
Soong always Encouraged"
DR.. T. v. Soong, Chinese Foreign
Minister, who refused to reveal for
reasons Of military secrecy what
action is being taken on his plea for
more air support for China, told re-
porters he was always encouraged"
In the background of the obvious
concern over results of the battle
for Egypt was the realization that |
seizure Of Alexandria and the Suez |
Canal by the Axis forces might open
the way for a possible junction of
German and japanese armies
through India.
The Pacific War Council, which |
meets usually once a week with
President Roosevelt to review stra-
tesy in the Japanese war, includes
the diplomatic representatives in
Washington OF Great Britain. China,
the Netherlands. Canada, Australia,
New Zealand and the Philippines.

Georgetown's basket ball team came

$3.50, in a thrilling overtime gaSae
Capt. Buddy O'Grady and Dan Cab
bianelli scored in the overtime after
Gabbianelli had tied the game in
the last minute of regulation time.
Tommy Vogt, with 10 points, was
outstanding for the Ellis while Bill
Bornheimer paced the Hoyas with
Is.
The score at the half was 28-25
for Yale.
Yale led by a few points through
most of the first half, mainly
through the efforts of Capt. Chuck
Seelbach, who netted 10 points. As
the last half started, Yale stretched
her lead to 10 points at 45-35, but
the loss of Sellbach and Austin Nor
ton, their only tall men, on fouls
turned the tide against them.
Paced by Gabbianelli and Bob
Martin the Hoyas closed fast to tie
the game on Gabbianelli's shot. In
the overtime Yale could score only
three fouls against q foul and two
baskets for Georgetown.

Telephone Operator on Lunch Time Shoots 277,
Biggest Duckpin Game Recorded by Woman

What started out to be a bit of

brought national bowling fame to

At the Hi-Skor next door, Miss

ever recorded by a woman-211-
climaxed by another feat remark
able for a fair bowler-a quintuple
strike.
In friendly competition with
Frances Nichols and Marie Adams,
coworkers, Miss 10y, who sported an
average of 100 in the Winchester

coming to Washington in Decem-

string with a score of 124, then
caught on fire" She opened a
third game with a double header
strike, rolled two fiat frames Of
seven and nine, spared, then shot
her amazing streak of five strikes.
BY boxes her tally was %, 40, At,

With the third consecutive ace,
the youngster was forced to call
upon an alley attendant to keep
from confusing her tally. A gallery
gathered to enjoy the biggest thrill
yet afforded at Bill Woods big

Vikings Put Up Scrap
Only in First Half;
Vinson Big Star
BY GEORGE HUBER.

A gang Of title-hungry Tigers
from Woodrow Wilson High sub
jected Central's Vikings to a 1923
lacing last night at Tech gym to
win the 1912 District public high
basket ball championship. Three
thousand students were on hand to
see the Tigers gain their first sports
championship in the five-year his
tory of the school.
The Vikings, surprise quint Of the
series, made a battle Of it only in
the first half. Thereafter they
cracked at the seams and Wilson
poured through to score almost at
will.
Pacing the winning Green Wave
was little Freddy Vinson, jitterbug
sparkplug forward, who enjoyed the
best evening in his sports career in
sinking 20 points. Rubberlegs Don
Hillock also was a big gun for the
Tigers, earning 10 points and re-
ceiving an ovation when removed
from the game near the end.
Wilson Defense Impregnable.
So close was the Wilson zone de-
fense that Central made not a field
goal in the entire last two periods,
their only points over that 16-min-
ute stretch coming on five, success
full foul shots.
Left handed Ted Thomaides
couldn't get his flip shots into the
net as usual, and with his misses
went a lot of Central's scoring
power. He managed only two field
goals all evening and with six char
ity tosses took high scoring honors
for the Vikings with 10 points.
Johnny Gibbons shot three field
goals and seven points.
1t was close going for the first
two periods, however, with Wilson
taking g. GA edge in the first period.
Central got going for about five
minutes in the second quarter. and
with Thomaides, Gibbons and Hank
Lawler dropping pair of floor shots
each went ahead, 1914. for min
ute before the half ended. Wilson's S
Vinson was keeping the Tigers close,
however, and two of his goels along
with two of Hillock's had the Tigers
in front, 1918, at intermission.
Thereafter it was no contest. The
Vikings couldn't find the range
when they did find opportunities to
shoot, and they retrieved only a
few rebounds as Wilson took over,
kept the ball most of the time and
generally made it a rout Three
foul shots In the third period and
two IN the final gained Centrals
only points after the half, while
Wilson tailed %.
In preliminary game, Eastern
Highs leftovers. players who will
return next year, topped the
Coolidge leftovers, 24-20, with Dan

The victory squared accounts be-

If 1t was preview of the conference
championship tournament finale, an
estimated crowd Of $500 that sat
in on the thrill-coated proceedings
will be packing their bags this
morning.
There have been all sorts Of
thrillers on local boards but last
nights scrap matched anything ever
seen here. At one stage the teams
matched points, bucket for bucket,
each sending five through the hoop
with unerring accuracy. Duke, de-
spite its garrison finish, trailed all
the way after relinquishing an early
81 lead.
Colonials Gain Long Lead.
Midway of the opening half the
charging Colonials had 28-14 ad-
vantage as Bobby Gillian and Matt

Roy Mcneil. long-legged G. w.

with IS points, and Joe Gallagher,
who played a brilliant floor game,
got the downtown quint of to a
running start on the second half
and Duke seemed on the verge of
complete collapse. The Blue Devils
had miserable luck on the baskets,
twice missing lay-up shots followed
by futile Slaps at the hoop.
Blue Devils Show Fight.
But the Carolinians only had be-
gun to fight and in the space of a
few minutes the tables were re-
versed as G. w. began to fade.
Twice time was called for Matt
Zunic, who was bothered with an
ailing knee, but the gawky center
refused to leave the game or to
slacken his breakneck pace.
With the count 1898, CAN'T and
Garland Lofts swished the cords
IN succession for Duke. Gallagher
and Mcneil squared accounts for
the Colonials, but Bubber Seward
put the Blue Devils back in the
ball game by sinking three charity
tosses and bucket and when CAN'T
netted another 2-pointer G. W.'s
lead was reduced to a mere 4
points, 55-49.
Bobby Gilham sent the Bluffs
count to SIS on long, accurate pass
from Jim RauSch, but Garland Lof-
tls retaliated with a SwiShing pot
shot for the invaders. Only seconds
remained when GiIham fouled
Cedric Lofts, and Duke refused the
free shot to take the ball outside.
This paved the way for the final
basket, a pot shot from close in by
Cedric Lofts.
George Washington reSorted to
freezing tactics in the last couple Of
minutes but was only partly sue
cessful and the ensuing scrambles
for the leather produced some of the
games liveliest action. The Colonials
had possession when the final
whistle blew.
The victory placed George WASH
ington within reach of a Conference
tournament berth. 1t remained in
third place in the loon standings.
