Contract Difficulties
With UIine Arena Hit
At March Ia Event

A possible return OF the annual
Catholic University indoor games to
the Cardinals home gymnasium was
envisioned today as plans for staging
q second meet at Uline Arena struck
q Snag.
Scheduled March II on q scale
more elaborate than ever attempted,
ofncial announcement of the date
has been held up by the reluctance
Of Manager Lee Perrin Of the arena
to sign the usual papers giving the
school the right to that date.
1t was learned today that Dorsey
Grifnth. director Of the meet and
Eddie LaFond. director Of athletics
at Catholic u, have been trying
since late November to get o signed
contract after obtaining verbal
agreements from both Perrin and
Mike Uline for the use Of the arena.
Now it develops that U1ine has
asked that the terms Of last years
contract be rewritten before af1xing
his signature, but the school ON
Gals above LaFond may veto such
q move and order the games re-
turned to Brookland. The two were
to meet today in an effort to iron
out the matter and probably COM
promise.
One Of the major indoor meets
in the east and the only track event
slated for Washington this winter,
the c. U. games occupy a prominent
position on the city's winter sports
calendar. They followed last year
by the Washington A. AS first
annual games, but that organization
apparently has abandoned plans for
. second meet, thereby leaving the
field to the Cardinals.
Griffith already has been busy
lining up nationally prominent tai
ent for the games and has received
promises from numerous stars that
they will appear. Last years show
included such famous runners as
Greg Rice. Walter Mehl. Gene Ven
ske. Mel Trutt and Forrest Efaw as
well as the cream of the collegiate
talent.

He has devoted most of his efforts
so far to making his boys forget
the fighting and play better basket
ball and it is likely this will be the
best Indian cage team so far. With
two tall boys, Elmer Leukhardt and
Elliott Day, to work under the basket
and John Penn and Nat Caponiti
to do the potting from outside, the
Indians should be able to make a
fair showing against favored East
ern team. especially with the ad-
vantage of playing on their own
floor.
The Ramblers, however, have
picked this as their year and are set
to make a good start. Any team
that has such players as George
Pigott, Larry Capone, Mike Leib,
Jim Brady and Neil Craig is tough
to stop. Coach Phil Fox has a crew
of experienced ball handlers who
have an uncanny way of getting
the ball in scoring position and
making good.

Of track and field today mourned
the passing Of one of its most
illustrious stars, Mel Sheppard,
Olympic champion in 1908 and 1912,

from q meeting of the Millrose
A. A. where plans for its forth
coming meet had been discussed
when he collapsed and died.
Sheppard first attracted attention
IN sports at Brown Preparatory
School In Philadelphia where he
blossomed into q top-flight track
man. In 1904 he captured the
half-mile run for schoolboys at
the st. Louis World Exposition. a
feat that stamped him as material

Saturday night Warrington will be
playing at Springfield and on Sun
day night Providence will invade

That 100 defeat Les Canadiens alb

from the Lions, but at the moment
that would be akin to Mussolini

tered Lions chiefly are interested
In saving themselves.
Put Up Stirring Scrap.
Les Canadiens have shipped Win
ger Murphy Chamberlin to the
Lions, but at first glance he doesn't
seem to be the tonic Washington
requires. He may be better when
he skates himself into condition,
but last night at least he wasn't
awe-inspiring.
The Lions, though, aren't playing
dull hockey. They gave the Indians
q stirring scrap despite the score.
Some $500 customers remained for
the finish, anyway, In . battle that
was rough and fast from the OPEN

the Lions to . 10 lead early in the
