St. AIbuns' Fine Quint Accepts
Bid to The Stars Tournament
Team Possibly Is Best in History Of School;
Lone Berth of Eight Remains to Be Filled

st. James, Baltimore Friends, Epis-
copal and Bulls.
The present quint has been COM
pared favorably to those of more
than 25 years ago sent out by Coach
George Green, which included on
the players roster, among others,
Brooke Untz) Brewer, one of the
greatest schoolboy athletes ever de-
veloped in Washington. The Rev.
James Henderson, one Of the schools
masters and a former athletic di-
rector there, declares the team now
is as good, if not better, than his
1880 and 1881 flves. 1t certainly is
better balanced. he says. On his
teams he had Dick Fletcher, whose
brother Bill now plays there, and
Bob Freeman, who later were bas-
ket ball captains at Harvard and
Pennsylvania, respectively.
Balance is a real attribute of the
team, now coached by Jim Quinn
and AL Wagner. Scoring power is
spread throughout the team and in
almost every game a different play
er shines as individual high scorer
Among the best, though, are Earl
Elliott, selected on last years ALL
Metropolitan team; Buddy Crom-
elm, Jim Trimble, Cotton Smith
and AL Lucas. Others on the team
are Leigh Carter, Marsh Diggs,
Bozie Laws, Munro Magruder, Don
Swagart, Derrick Daniels, Jack Cos

Some Consideration
Ry the Associated Press.

EN the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. l6.-Sports,
battered and bruised the past week
by edicts, rulings. decisions and
interpretations, had a rare day of
sunshine yesterday.
In Washington. Paul V. McNutt,
chairman of the Manpower Com
mission, said that preparation for
the coming baseball season was en-
tirely up to the sports leaders.
Later pair of ranking Navy and
Army officers there made a plea for
the continuation of competitive
sports.
Also Gov. J. Howard McGrath of
Rhode Island ruled that Nara
ganSett Park was not a suburban
track and gave his blessing to a race
meeting starting on April 10. Pre-
viouslv Rubber Administrator Will
liam Jeffers had requested the dark
ening of all suburban ovals as a
conservation measure.
Bay Meadows Gets go" Sign.
Bay Meadows, only operating
track in California, received per-
mission from its State commission
to go ahead with its plans for a gas
less, rubberless meeting, opening
Saturday.
McNutt told the reporters he had
not undertaken to advise baseball
clubs regarding the coming season,
because that is their business.
He declared that he was willing to
confer with baseball delegates at
any time about their problems and
that he already had talked with
Clark Griffith Of the Washington
club.
Comdr. Tom Hamilton. head of
the naval aviation physical train
ing program, and Col. Theodore P.
Bank, chief of athletics and recrea-
ton in the special service division in
the War Department, made the pleas
for competitive and combative
sports.
Military Backs Sports.
I'VE want the colleges to continue
their competitive sports programs,
and we want the high schools to do
likewise. because our records show
conclusively that those who have
competed in athletics in school come
to us more physically fit for the
job at hand" Col. Bank said in
radio symposium.
The days enthusiasm even car
ried into the financial side of sports,

the franchise of the Philadelphia

Prime Minister Churchill di- vulged information that Amer ican correspondents knew, but were honor-bound not to print yesterday, minus the prompting.
 Roosevelt singled out as i'm portant news of the day, Brit aims agreement with Portugal for the use of the Azores bases, and said that it seemed obvious that in emergencies United States uses British facilities to protect American lives and ships and that both the British and American governments assured the Portu- gese there were no territorial ambitions regarding the islands.
 The President stressed what he called a most amazing record set up by the American subs in the Pacific in the destru, ton of enemy shipping faster than it can be replaced. In the past six months he asserted that the sink ings averaged about 130,000 tons monthly or about 1,400, ,000 tons a year.
 In discussing the statements of the five senators who have just returned from round-t -the-world inspection tour, Roosevelt made clear that he thought this no time for stirring up bitterness, while displaying no evidence himself of any deep-seated re- sentiment. He did take definite issue regarding things the legisla- tors said about oil, Russian air bases near Japan, the shipping of American civilian trucks to Aus tralia.
 To a question of the press, as to whether he shared the British feeling about current discussions about oil, postwar rights on air bases, he replied: "It is un- fortunate, I do not know"

 It will be remembered that in 1940 Dr. Church offered reward of $1,000,000 for the capture of Hitler "alive and unhurt" be- cause he believed that the Ger man dictator intended to violate the neutrality of Holland and Belgium and would overrun western Europe.
