With six huskie bone benders all
set for their limb twisting duties,
the big mat card scheduled for
ITALIAN Hall at $3.50 Friday night
seems to offer all the graphing
fans can ask for.
The featured bout of the eve
ming will be a tag team affray.
A team of Milo Steinborn and Bill
ly Bartush are to tangle with Jack
Dillon and Jimmie Coffield.
The general idea of tag team
scrap is that two gladiators battle
in the ring at one time with their
two partners awaiting call for
help by his buddy. The exciting
part of the tiff comes when an
exhausted grappler endeavors to
make his way to tag his partner
in order that he might be relieved.
The tag team bout will be a
renewal of the feud between Milo
Steinborn and the Dillon-Coffield
twosome. This hatred started sew
eral weeks back when Steinborn
received some pretty rough treat

peated its early season conquest
of the Gun Mat. Officers, this time

the Southern loop.
The Triple-4 Officers, with Bar.

first half, held the long end of a
14-10 margin at the halfway mark.
Bardolph again set the pace upon
resumption of play but McGlashe

490th Bn. and at the end of regula-
ton time it was a 24-24 deadlock
Play was tight in the extra period
and the 49Cth edged into a one

from outer territory to clinch the
verdict for the 44th Officers.

enterprises, and he knows you
can't remain anonymous for long
if you start shouting: Here I am;
what about me?"
Baseball, in other words, is just
in the ranks in the parade.
Government officials, too busy
to give the game serious thought,
might get to thinking a little about
baseball if it was called TO thei-
attention and come up with ideas
not favorable to this pleasure in
dustry.
The query sent to Washington
was the idea of private indi-
vidual, and as a free citizen he
had a perfect right to seek an
opinion. But Lands wishes he
hadn't done it. Somebody might
get the idea baseball is after some
privileges denied 130,000,000 other
Americans.
We agree with the commission
er that baseball should keep away
from Washington, even by mail,
until officially summoned.

BY BILL KING

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. IS.
-lR-It has been % years since
Eddie Mahan, the Harvard football
immortal and the only fullback to
gain All-America recognition for
three consecutive years from the
late Walter Camp, was the toast
of intercollegiate athletics But dur
ing most of the ensuing time, that
former ll-round star has been ac-
lively engaged in one or the other
of the sports he excelled in as a
youth.
Now past the half-century mark,
Mahan is serving in his second
world war as a lieutenant COM
mander at the huge Jacksonville
Naval Air Station, where he is the
chief athletic officer.
Back n 1916, after Mahan ended
his sensational Harvard career as
a football and baseball star, he
became an assistant football coach
at the University of California But
the outbreak of World War I
brought him rushing home to Ma
tick, Mass. to enlist as private
in the U. S. Marines. He went
overseas as first lieutenant late
in 1917.
After the Armistice in 1918, Ma
han, rejected cabled offer to sue
coed his old teammate and fellow
All-American, Charley Brickley, as
head coach at Boston College. That
appointment subsequently fell to
the late Maj. Frank Cavanaugh.
Mahan preferred to re m n
abroad as member of Herbert
Hoover's food administration staff
and he was assigned to Rumania.
He cut a wide swath in Bucha-
rests royal circles and, as a pal
ace guest, he taught the late King
Ferdinand and Queen Marie the
Marine trick of rolling your own"
cigarets.
Back in the United States in
1920, Mahan tried his hand at the
oil business in Texas but his foot
ball ties pulled him back to Bos-
ton and, after starting in the in
vestment banking profession, he re.

Camp Davis Hardwooders
Maui Maxton Fiue, 64-34

Turning in their most impress
sive performance of the season, the
Camp Davis Blue Brigade basket
ball team snapped a three game
losing streak by trouncing the
Maxton Army Air Base cagers,
64-34 in Farnsworth Hall last night.
After the first five minutes of
play, victory seemed certain to
belong to the Brigade hoopsters.
Their fast breaking offensive all
but swept the visiting Air Base five
fff its feet. With Brookfield, Ness
ing and Carroll pacing the point
gathering, the Davis quint forged
tc 1863 advantage at the end of
fhe initial period.
The second heat was much the
same as the first, as the Davis
courteers continued to dominate
the play. A deciding factor in
this quarter and the entire engage.
uent was the control of the re-
bounds that the Davis basketeers
exercised. Brookfield. foot, 7
inch Davis ball hawk. turned in a
bang up job under the baskets for
the winners, as he contributed II
points to the scoring and also
checked great deal of the Air
mems tallying attempts. The Blue
Brigade five held the big end of
32-19 count at the intermission.
The Camp Davis club continued
their high-flying tactics after the
intermission. Carroll made the
net sing for points as the AA
boys pushed to a 1927 lead at
the end of the third canto.
A minute after the final heat
opened up, 1t. Victor Dauer sent
an entirely new Camp Davis team
into the game. The score stood at
1927 when the reserve cagers en-
Tered the contest. These fresh per-
formers proceeded to make things
extremely unpleasant for the wea
ry Maxton hardwooders by cutting
loose with everything in the has,
ketbau book. With Krumtinger,
Sharp, Waugh and Lockers hitting
the basket with amazing accuracy,
tie Brigaders roared On to their
64-34 triumph.
The Camp Davis scoring was
paced by Johnny Carol, who drop
ped in Is points. Brookfield with
u, and Messing and Hearn were
next in line for the Camp Davis
cagers. Messing was particularly
outstanding as his fine all round
play spanked the Brigade attack.
Arrigo and Gilroy shared the
offensive laurels for the losers as
they tailed 8 points apiece.
