Experienced Cagers
Plentiful on Rider,
Maroon Squads
Lost Seasons Champion,
Wilson, Must Rebuild
Five From Scrutch
BY GEORGE HUBER.


The preseason high school grape
vine has 1t that Tech and Roosevelt
are the teams to watch in the
schoolboy basket ball series be-
ginning next month. All schools
now have had several weeks of
, shakedown practices and scrim-
mage and word is getting around
that these two have better than
fair teams.
At Wilson, which had the best
team In this section and won the
championship last season, Coach
Tony Kupka is starting practically
from scratch to build another good
quint and it hardly appears the
Tigers can get to the top again
right away. Last years team was
a veteran one composed almost
entirely of seniors. Remaining is
Bill lavish. and he's all. Bill, too,
Is favoring q bad knee.
Coach Kupka has several promis-
Ing prospects, though, among them
Bill Tanney, Stew Brown, Jack Ogle
and Windy Van Deusen. They lack
experience, especially in working to-
gether. Occasionally they run into
each other under the basket and
as yet they haven't keen eye for
the hoop. All this should be cor
rected in time Wilson figures to
be good. though, in campaigns fol-
lowing the next.
Roosevelt Talent Plentiful.
Tech and Roosevelt have expert
enced teams, with talent especially
spread in generous slices at Roose-
velt. First there's Charley Howard,
the big au-high guard last year
who Just has returned to basket ball
after earning all-high honors on the
football team. He still has to get
rid Of his football muscles and get
his basket ball timing right, but
that will come before the series
begins.
Right now the best-looking men,
Der of the squad is Bunny Citren-
baum. Bunny is not as small as
he appears. He's fast, good defen-
sively and an excellent dribbler.
Among the other experienced men
on the squad are Preston Wannan,
developing into a very good shot
this season; Ollie Kennedy, Bill
Garner and Ralph Floyd.
Coach Reds Auerbach also has
two big newcomers, Albert Grant
and Ezra Henken, who figure to
At in well with more experience.
The team as a whole has lots Of
hustle and plenty of accurate shoot
ing, both necessary with the fast
break style employed by Auerbach.
Tech Has Three Lettermen.
Tech, which finished in the sec
ond division last time, has three
letter men back plus several others
who saw some work and 1t figures
to do much better. The letter men
mostly are big boys as Tech basket
ball players go-Clive Thompson,
Hank Pizza and Bob Brewer. With
this group back from the 1912 team
are Jack Ray and Jim Kranking.
They all work we'll together. The
team shows precision and some good
ball handling in practice.
Among the newcomers that promise
to help Coach Dutch Usilaner are
Jack Walsh, a former Gonzaga
player; Keith Harder, transfer
from Tennessee, and Dan O'Connell
and Jack Lewis of the football
team.
First Washington school to see
action will be Anacostia. Coached
this year by Tommy Nolan, former
Georgetown ace, the Indians start
tomorrow at Landon at $3.50.

Soviet Strength on
KaIinin Front
Fear Russion Threat From
Salient Extending Farther
West Than SmoIensk
BY HENRY C. CASSIDY,


KALININ, Russia, June 8-The
Russian Army is holding a spear
head deep in Germany's side on the
Kalinin front, northwest of Moscow.
This explains why the Germans
are making repeated reconnaissance
raids and desperately resisting Eus-
sian attacks here, Red Army Off
Ger said on visit to this base, one
Of the most active along the entire
2,000-mile Russian front.
The Germans fear Russian
threat from the salient stretching
farther west than Smolensk, and are
making every effort to find out the
Soviet strength. They are trying to
keep meticulous check on troop
movements.
Reconnaissance Engagement.
The latest attack reported over
the week end was a reconnaissance
in force, one Of the largest local
engagements in recent weeks. The
Russians repulsed the assault, made
by full infantry battalion sup
ported by artillery and tanks.
The terrain of the Kalinin front
still is held in the grip of a long,
wet spring and is not yet suitable
for large-scale operations. Rains
continue and rivers still are at flood
stage over low-lying fields and
swamps. Only the main roads can
be used for transport.
limited States tanks have heon
tried out here and have won the en-
thusiastic concentrations OF Red
Army officers
Planes fly over this front periodi-
cally on patrol.
The cause for the Germans con-
Germ about the Kalinin spearheaG
salient is that 1t may twist north
or south and cut out the roots of
their communications lines.
Far Behind Front.
The City of Kalinin lies far be-
hind the front despite a recent
Rome report Of fighting in It's out
skirts.
The officer to whom I talked was
Col. Andrei Kharchenko.
He said that he drove rs miles
from the Rzhev sector the day be-
fore to reach Kalinin and that the
village he left was only barely within
hearing distance of the front-line
artillery.
The nearest German to Kalinin,
he said. was about 10 miles away.
The only signs of battle he saw on
the way were remnants Of the Ger
man Army left behind in the win
ter campaigns. he said. The only
activity were German planes which
tried to bomb bridge at Staritsa.
Two were shot down.

The Earl was graduated last year,

Soccer is supposed to be an Eng
