imp Tells Boys 10 Make Up
Scarcity Of Catchers
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. Calf, Jan 2
-"Present-day kids are plenty
smart. They read the papers and
realize nobody ever hears about the
catcher"
So says Hap O'Connor, a semi
pro baseball umpire. who reports
a real shortage of behind-the
platers is developing in the profess
sional leagues.
Tell the kiddies who won't be
of to war for another year or 50
to get back of that plate and prac-
tice catching with all the tools on,
The catcher is the most unappre-
ciated man on the field-yet he's
the smartest player ="

NEW YORK, Jan. Twill there
be any Pre-Flight Naval Cadet foot
ball elevens next fall? How do
those concerned in the organization
of the four physical training cadet
gridiron squads feel about this?
How satisfied are they with results
attained in the last season-in
which cadet elevens took a share
OF beatings and did not make a great
deal of money? Your correspondent
put these questions to 1t. Comdr.
Tom Hamilton. But thus far re-
suits have been negative. The COM
mander has yet to reply.
Meanwhile. some intimation as to
how the Navy Department feels
about organization of service elevens
for the season of 1943 has been made
fairly clear by the activity of 1t.
Comdr. Russell Cook, U. S. NJ, ath-
letic director of the Great Lakes
Training Station He is trying to
line up dates with university elev-
ens-not, so far as now can be said,
with gratifying success.
Big Ten Attitude Cools.
At least, this seems to be the case
in his efforts to hook up with West
ern Conference outfits. Attitude of
the Big Ten seems completely at
variance with its patriotic ardor
of last spring in revising playing
dates so as to arrange games against
Great Lakes and 1t Comdr. Tom
Hamilton's Pre-Flight naval teams
There was quite hoop te-d do about
it. Uncle Sans boys wanted foot
ball games, And they got them.
Now, however. impression prevails
that, so far as the Western Con-
ference is concerned its spirit of
wholesome cooperation has changed
to a more grudging attitude.

Being Favored Bodies
No Good for Hoyas
In Colonial Tilt
Choice Seldom Is Victor
In Traditional Clash;
Other Games Listed

What may develop as the sea-
sons two toughest tests for George
towns high-scoring basket ball team
confront the Hoyas this week, with
George Washington and Norfolk
Naval Training Station slated to
annoy Coach Elmer Ripley's terrific
tossers.
Sandwiched between Wednesday,
tussle with the Colonials at Tech
High gym and Saturdays struggle
with the Sailors at Norfolk is a con-
test with Camp Lee at Richmond,
Va, but the Soldiers aren't likely
to provide the same sort OF compe-
tition.
Entering last nights engagement
with Scranton University at Scran-
ton, Pa, the Hoyas hadn't been
extended in disposing of Western
Maryland, American u, Aberdeen
Proving Grounds and St. Bonaven-
fure. but this week the going is ex-
pected to become tougher.
Average II Points a Game.
In their first four games the Hoyas
compiled an average of II points
a game. John Mahnken, George
towns 6-foot 8-inch center, had
averaged 171z points a game and
Andy Kostecka trailed with an av-
erage of 1864 points.
Mahnken and Kostecka won't be
the only performers who will require
watching, however, for in Billy Has
sett and Danny Kraus the Hoyas
own brace of the East's more tai
ented collegiate ball handlers.
Georgetown will enter the G.. w
game a prohibitive favorite, but in
seven collisions in a series dating
from 1889 the favored team in these
Georgetown-G. w. tiffs has won only
once. Last season, for instance
Georgetown was rated the favorite
in the first game, and lost. In the
second game the Colonials were
favored, and lost.
In the 1940-41 season George
Washington, with one of its best
teams, entered the January meeting
as the club to beat, but was whipped
In March the Colonials spanked
formidable St. Johns while George
town lost to woefully weak Ford
ham, but two days later, with a bid
to Madison Square Gardens invita-
tional tourney virtually assured
G.. w. again lost TO Georgetown.
Colonials Defensively Strong.
G. w. claims no outstanding per-
former but it has team stamped
by Coach Henry Iba of the Okla
homa Aggies as superb defensive
outfit. It was a brilliant defense
that checked the towering Aggies.
That defense crumbled after G. w.
took 34-33 lead over Norfolk Navy,
which proceeded to pour 18 consecu-
tive points through the cords en-
route to ninth straight triumph.
Maryland, which has disposed of
Richmond and North Carolina in
its own starts, swings back into
action against Virginia on Saturday
night at College Park, with Mary

Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower whose
nomination for promotion from lieu
tenant general to full general was
approved quickly by the Senate yes
terday. is still just lieutenant COL
onel in the Regular Army list. All
his promotions above that grade are
temporary.
Gen. Eisenhower is the 18th full

Eight of the twelve still are living.
Gen. Eisenhower will be the fourth

fifth If Gen. John J. Pershing is in
Guided. Gen. Pershing is listed in
the Army director as general. re-
tired" but by special congressional
enactment remains on the active
list as general of the Armies"
Since he is not active in Army af-
fairs, the principal effect Of this is
to give him full pay instead of the
two-thirds retirement pay.
The other four-star generals on
active duty are George c. Marshall,
the chief Of staff: Douglas MacAr-
thur, Allied commander in chief in
the Southwest Pacific, and Malin
Craig, former chief of staff, who is
chairman of the War Department
Personnel Board. set up to pass on
Army commissions for civilians.
Ulysses S. Grant was the first full
general in the Army Others, in the
order of their promotion to that
grade, were William T. Sherman,
Philip H. Sheridan, Pershing, Tasker
H. Bliss, Peyton c. March, Charles
P. Summeral, Macarthur, Craig,
Marshall, John L. Hines and Eisen-
hover.
Gen. Bliss died in 1890. Gen. Hines
retired in 1882, but was promoted to
full general by special act of Con-
gress in 1910. Gen. Macarthur re-
tired from the post OF chief Of stan
in 1885 as a general, but reverted to
major general when he was recalled
to active duty for service in the Phil
ippines. He was promoted to lieu
tenant general and after the out
break of war was promoted to full
general December 18, 1941.
