WI. Tossers Hopeful
As Squad Of Il Goes
To Eastern Tourney
Would Uphold Prestige
Of Washington Area in
PIoy at GIens FoIIs
BY GEORGE HUBER.

Hoping to prove that high school
basket ball as played in and around
Washington is as good as can be
found In the East. Coach Elwood
Clements and an l1-man squad Of
players are en- route to Glens Falls,
N. Y, to participate in the annual
Eastern States tournament.
The Generals earned the trip by
winning the Metropolitan champion
ship in the annual Evening Star
tournament two weeks ago, which
prove dit best in this area outside
the District public school series.
Accompanying Glen and the play
ers is Manager Jack Crodlin, Buck
Richardson, recreation director OF
Arlington County, and Fletcher
Kemp. Arlington County superin-
tendent Of schools, who is real fan.
Plays Champ in Opener.
The team will arrive late tonight
and tomorrow night begins is tour
ney competition against Memorial
High of West New York, N. j., the
defending champion. The fact that
they drew the champion In the first
round deters the Ballston players
not one whit. They are particularly
anxious to get past the first round
II only to get another crack at John
Marshall OF Richmond. winner OF
the Virginia Glass "A" Central Dis
trict crown, which nosed out the
Generals In a close game at Ballston
several weeks ago.
Clem and the players are max
ing no predictions they will win the
title, but they believe they have a
good chance. As one player put 1t
during the final practice session,
IF we don't win this thing, the
other teams will know they've been
in a fight, anyway" The Generals
have been drilling at night for the
last two weeks because Clem has
been the busiest schoolboy coach
around town. Faced with the nee
essity Of getting baseball started at
Washington-Lee as well as keeping
the basket ball team in shape. he
had held his diamond drills In the
afternoons and his cage practices at
night.
Has Them on Two Teams.
Several of the basket ball players,
incidentally, also are important
baseball men also. Bob HUFF. Bob
Phillips and Eddie Cox, all outf1eld'
ers, are on both teams, although
they have been doing little or no
diamond work. Hun probably Will
be q regular on the baseball team
and the others have good chances.
Phillips is another outstanding pros
pect, and is considered one OF the
best schoolboy athletes In Virginia.
He was voted the outstanding player
in the Metropolitan tournament and
Is counted on for lot Of leadership
at Glens Falls.
Clem's starting lineup tomorrow
night probably will have Phillips
and HUH as forwards; Buck New
som, who is also something of foot
ball player, at center, and Maynard
Tiahrt and Eddie Cox as guards.
Cox is q questionable starter, how
ever. He cut his lip in . practice
game last Friday and three stitches
were necessary. He is due for lot
of playing even If not . starter
though. Either Howard Abel or
Lee Mcdonald may get the call.

Buddy Baer, the bomber-size

Unlike Louis and Conn, who are

Young Baer is married, the father

Max left Sacramento for the job

By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 25.-The mile
running Of Leslie MacMitchell. New
York University senior, and Gil
Dodds, Boston A. A. athlete who
speaks with a pure Nebraskan ac-
cent, has caused more discussion
than a bride in a black veil.
The two youngsters tangle for a
third time tonight on the huge
planked oval in the Bronx coliseum
as the feature of a six-event pro-
gram for the benefit of the Navy
Relief Society. Each has one victory
In the previous meetings.
Won Elling IL Optimistic.
Emil Won Filing, the quiet coach
who guides MacMitchell. believes
that Dodds' daring technique OF
going all out from the start may
bring the oft-predicted 4-minute
mile, but Greg Rice, who hasn been
beaten at miles since the be-
ginning Of the New Deal, argues the
reverse.
There was q time" says Won
Filing. when milers thought the
way to run was to hustle through a
fast first quarter, loaf in the third
and sprint the final 40. Then they
changed to q slower start and .
faster third quarter.
Each style brought records. Now
We have Dodds' revolutionary idea
Of running all out from the start
and we may get that 4-minute mile. :"
Runs Daring First Quarter.
In the last meeting of the two,
Dodds ran the opening quarter in
58.l seconds, the half in 1897 and
the three-Quarter in 3:03.5, but lost
to MacMitchell, who finished In 4 :O8.
Rice. who goes after his own
world record Of 8:51.1 in the mile
tonight. viewed that race as proof
that the human body could not
stand such punishment.
The pace was there" he ex-
planned, "but you saw how the
human body reacted in the finaI 40
yards"
Other events tonight include the
attempts Of four runners to smash
the indoor mark for the 440-yard
dash. another foursome trying for
the half-mile record, and l-mile

NEW YORK, March 25.-Two
teams from the Blue Ridge Noun
tain area bring the basket ball ver-
sion of the Hatfield and Mccoy
feuding to Madison Square Garden
tonight with the championship of
the National Invitation tourney as
the prize.
Western Kentucky, featuring
lanky Oran Mckinney, will be after
its 18th consecutive victory, at the
expense of West Virginia, which
offers Rudy Baric and Dick Kesling
As its stars.
The tourney has been one of up
sets all the way, with Western Ken
lucky being seeded seventh and
West Virginia eighth when the
eight-team meet got under way on
March II.
Both Are Well Balanced.
In their first appearance the Ken
lucky Hilltoppers rolled over City
College Of New York, 49 to 46, and
Monday night stopped Creighton Of
the Missouri Valley Conference, 40
to So. The Mountaineers, lacking
only in capable reserves. eliminated
the defending Long Island Univer-
sity five in round one. SO to 49, and
steam-rollered Toledo, 81 to 80, in
the semifinals.
Both Of tonight's combatants have
well-rounded quintets. West Vir-
ginia, which stopped Toledos Bob
Gerber in his first appearance after
setting a Garden scoring record of
81 points, will set almost the same
defense for Mckinney and Ray
Blevins, a hot-shot substitute.
The Kentuckians, in return, must
fashion a brake for the efforts OF
Baric and Kesling. Baric Is the third
leading scorer In the tourney with
81 points, while Wesling is tied with
Bart Quinn Of Toledo for fourth

Toledo and Creighton, the two

ORLANDO, Fla, March Is
Manager Bucky Harris of the Mats
may be excused for pinching him.
self. Washington's pitching is so
pleasant at the moment that Bucky
is a bit befuddled. He can't COM
prehend the reason for the suddenly
spectacular development of three
rookie hurlers and he fears the
delightful dream will evaporate
overnight. But meantime his cup
Of Joy is overflowing.
Harris could be forgiven for not
hoping for much from his rookie
pitching crop this spring After all.
Ray Scarborough was the only one
of the group who had proved he
could win In even Class B Minor
League company. He was believed to
be the most promising Of the collec-
ton but currently Scarborough Is
trailing in the wake Of q terrific
trio.
Bucky had no reason to suspect
Hardin Cathey would make the
grade. The big farmer had won 13
games snd lost as many with Char
lotte of the Piedmont League. He
had earned a reputation as lover
of firewater and a small city play
boy but he's making the club in
the role Of a highly regarded relief
pitcher.
There was no occasion to simulate
great glee with the arrival of burly
Phil Mccullough, either, for the
former Oglethorpe University ath-
lete had won IA games and lost 16
with Greenville of the Sally League
last season. He needs only to con-
tinue to approach his fine work to
be retained.
Kennedy Greatly Improved.
Bill Kennedy. an Alexandria (Vao
southpaw, hadn't achieved great
respect as a pitcher among Char
lotte citizens last year. He captured
only eight decisions and lost nine,
but down here he's been burning up
the Grapefruit League with a bril-
liant brand of pitching. He's come
up with q slick assortment Of stun
and he's getting it over the plate.
Cathey definitely will be retained
and Harris is undecided between
Mccullough and Kennedy. He had
decided Kennedy was among those
to be pruned until Sunday, when
Bill subbed for the sore-armed
Steve Sundra and proceeded to
throw four hitless innings at the
Giants.
Its q toss-up between them right
now" says Bucky, but we may wind
up keeping both Of them If they
continue along the same line. I'm
not going to get rid Of them and
keep more experienced pitchers just
because of their experience. II
these kids continue to pitch as they
have been, we'll trim one OF the
older fellows of the pitching staff
to make room for them" Harris is
referring to Sundra, of course. Steve
has been erratic and If Kennedy
and Mccullough are retained, Sun
dra's job will be in jeopardy.
I'm sold on Cathey," continues
Bucky. He fires that ball so fast 1t
seems like an aspirin tablet. He
keeps that ball low and his herky-
jerky motion Is an asset. Grover
Alexander had the same sort Of mo-
ton and 1t had . lot to do with his
effectiveness.
