Brings 51-43 Margin
Over Oklahoma
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-With g.
foot 9-inch Harry Boykoff account
ing for 18 points and doing a fine
job OF goal-tending on defense, St.
Johns high-geared basket ball team
won its fourth straight game of the
season tonight with 5l-to-43 de-
cision over Oklahoma before a ca
pacity crowd of $4,000 at Madison
Square Garden.
Through the opening half and the
first 5 minutes of the second period,
the game was nip-and-tuck affair.
The score was tied four times before
they left the floor, with st. John S
holding a 22-21 advantage.
The Metropolitan boys went on a
scoring spree in the opening min
utes of the final session, pulling
away to a 1923 lead. The Sooners,
however, struck back on the shoot
ing of Allie Paine and Gerald
Tucker to knot the count at 1920.
1t was tied again at 1892 at the
f1ve-minute mark before st. Johns
went on another 19-point scoring
surge while limiting the visitors to
two field goals by Tucker.
The Sooners lost Tucker on four
fouls with five minutes to play and
with him went their fading hopes
of victory, although they rallied in
the closing minutes against St.
Johns reserves Tucker paced the
lossers with IL points, one more
than was made by play-making
Bob McCurdy.

Hot Springs Looming

To Major Clubs
By the Associated Fress.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Dec. 19.-
The transportation shortage may
make Hot Springs the training
ground for two and perhaps four
big league baseball clubs next spring,
it was indicated tonight.
Blake Harper, in charge of con-
cessions at Sportsmans Park in St.
Louis, said Vice President and Gen.
eral Manager William o. Dewitt of
the St. Louis Browns telephoned
him saying the Browns and the
Chicago Cubs wanted to come here
March for four or five weeks train
ing. Harper quoted Dewitt as say
ing Pittsburgh spokesmen had told
him the Pirates and Chicago White
SoX also would train here if enough
diamonds and living accommoda-
tons could be had.
Hot Springs has two diamonds at
Jaycee Park and one apiece at Ban
Johnson Field and Fogel Field.
Mayor Leo Mclaughlin and the
Chamber Of Commerce Immediately
started a checkup to make sure the
diamonds would be in shape by
March. Due to the large number of
hotels in this resort city, it was
thought there would be no prob
lem about living accommoda tions
for the approximately 50-man en-
tourage of each team.
All four teams trained in the West

Winning Basket Ball
Coach Of Waco High
Never Played Game
BY the Associated Press.


WACO, Tex.-Annually Waco
High School has one of the strong
est basket ball teams in Texas.
That's not unusual, but the fact
that its coach not only never played
the game, but wasn't even inter.
ested in it until asked to help with
the squad, certainly is out of the
ordinary.
R. B. Keithley attended Nevada
High in Missouri. He was football
and track star, but never got around
to basket ball.
He went to Kansas State Teachers
College where he concentrated on
track and set conference records in
the dashes.
Keithley came to Waco High as a
teacher in 1880. They got him to
assist Coach Bill Henderson with the
basketbal team. In 1896, Hender-
son went to Baylor and Keithley was
made head coach.
Well, look at his record:
In six years, Waco High has won
five district championships, three
regional titles and been in the State
tournament three times. Each
time it took either the champion or
the runner-up to beat Waco. None
of those three teams lost by more
than five points.
And Keithley belongs to that small
class of coaches who never moan
over their prospects.
This year he says: "Of the five
boys on my starting team last sea-
son + have lost just one. am not
predicting anything, but Just wait
and see."

training in wrestling.
Cites Solomons Experience.
Il shudder to think what would
happen to our boys who are sent to
do job like the invasion of the
Solomons without thorough train
ing in hand-to- hand combat" the
Michigan State coach added.
He recommended wrestling of the
college type-"perhaps rougher"-
and an advanced course in jiu-iitsu
to develop in fighting men co-ocdi-
nation, physical perfection ard a
desire for combat. A class of as
many as 100 men could be drilled
in almost any grassy spot under a
single instructor aided by several
advanced students, he added.
Il think these two wrestling
courses should be taught before
bayonet and knife fighting" Collins
declared.
The Michigan State coach, whose
squad was runner-up in last sea-
sons national collegiate wrestling
meet. said at least score of former
college grapplers now in the armed
services owed life or limb to their
experience in the sport.
Collins said other coaches had
joined him in his campaign for mass
