charged the United States and Brit

ed into a center of world espion-
age" and asserted that "spies OF all
countries at war" were active.

NEW YORK, Feb. ~ (UP) = If
you blew into New York on
ricket plane a hundred years from
now, and you asked the sports
writers of 2044 who they believed
was the most popular sports figure
in American history, we are con-
fident they would agree: Lou
Gehrig.
We make this prediction, not
merely because the pride of the
Yankees" has a robust lead in the
current New York war bend popu-
larity poll, but because Iron Horse"
Gehrig was a shy but effective per-
sonality, like Lincoln, whose ap-
probation grows with the years.
LOST LAST GAME
Lou Gehrig died on June 2, 1941.
He died a gradual, fading-out death
from a rare fern of infantile para
lysis. His death unfortunately was
expected and awaited = because
there was no hope. But he died
martyr to baseball man who
possibly might have been saved had
he needed the warnings OF nature
the ''lumbago" he felt in his back
and the lassitude ne felt in spirit,
as he completed the 2,130 consecu-
tive game, which established an
all-time record that down through
the years will defy approach.
AS first baseman for the Yankees
from June l, 1925, to April 30, 1899,
Gehrig stood for all that was clean
and wholesome and effective in
American sports. He wound up
with lifetime batting average CT
$40 for IA seasons with the YankS
And he had an average of .361 for
seven world series - for slugging
when the chips were down.
Gehrig'S effectiveness at bat and
his Iron Man" record singled him
out for appreciation of performance

Huskies Hopes
Dim TO End
Perfect Season
By WILLARD ID. EBERHART

SEATTLE, Feb. -. tUP)-The
University of Washington Huskies
have passed the halfway mark in
the northern division basketball
season without a defeat, but hopes
for a spotleSS season have sagged
under a service regulation that
skins the cream from the squad.
Navy and marine traineeS, who
have made the HuSkies invincible
on the home floor get to play one
more game-tonight in the windup
of the local Washington State Sc
ries-under a ruling that allows
them TO report for games only on
the first and third Friday of each
month, and Saturdays.
The traineeS were out of Friday
nights game because of the ruling
and will miss the final six games,
four against Idaho and two with
w. S. c. Only two of them are
scheduled for Seattle on the yer
boten nights of Monday and Tues
day. The remainder are on the road
and, of course, the traineeS can't
travel.
Maybe the benehing of Washing
tons sailors and marines will re-
store a normal balance to confer
ence competition and narrow the
margin separating the Huskies and
the rest of the field, but it proba
bly, won't. The Husky reserves
trounced Washington State, 53-40,
last night. anyway.
Washington's victory over the
Cougars last night tied the school,
all-time Is consecutive wins posted
in 1928. 1t was Feb. 13, 1343, when
the Huskies last lost a conference
game, and with the service men
making their swan song tonight, a
record busting performance should
be on the agenda.

SPORTS PARADE

{ among the fans and writer's but it
was his inherent modeSty-his re-
fusal to be a color guy like the
great Babe Ruth, in whose shadow
he played for many years-that en-
deared him to the public. He had
the modest, self-effacing personality
Of Lincoln, although nature had
done an about face and blessed him
with the countenance and powerful
body of a Greek god.
PATHETIC FAREWELL
Gehrig bade a pathetic farewell
to baseball on the -drenched
afternoon of July 4, 1899. Already
the best physicians in the land had
passed their death sentence upon
him. There was no hope for the
Iron Horse" recovering from the
rare affliction that already was
sapping his strength.
There wasn't dry eye in YAM
kee Stadium that sad July Fourth,
that "Gehrig Day" when $1,000
fans sat tensely in the great Bronx
Park, as Gehrig walked to the
microphone, with tears trickling
down his face, and said, I've been
reading about my tough breaks for
the past two weeks, but today I
consider myself the luckiest man on
earth"
Everyone wept as Babe Ruth
threw his arm about LOUIS shoul-
der and edged him toward the
dugout-leading the Iron Horse
toward the green pastures OF
eternity.

Are Ball Players People?

When Babe Ruth, the world s greatest fat man, joined the Bos- ton Red Sox in 1917, he was noth- ing but big squash-headed left handed pitcher who ate his pie with soup spoon.
 The Babe knew little or nothing about the big city's ways and, quite naturally, was knocked cock eyed with amazement when the Red Sox first came to New York. Most astounded was he, in particu- lar, at his fellow athletes custom of tipping the hotel elevator boys a dime on occasions. The Babe, of course, did likewise. His was not to reason why.
 Some time later, Ed Barrow then the Red Sox manager, was surprised to encounter the bubolic Bambino staggering through the hotels 18th floor stairway, his eyes glassy, his chest heaving, his pantlegs sagging at the knees "Forsooth!" cried Barrow. What's the matter? You look as though you had just climbed 16 flights o1 stairs"
 "'Tis true, MT. Barrow" re. sponded the Babe between gasps sneazes, burps and wheezings. q ain't got much money with me ano I can't afford to pay dime fare every time I ride on that damn ele- vator."

Siclari, Buckley lie In BEAM Grid Contest

Two men on the whole Base picked ten winners in last weeks contest. With teams like California and Texas Christian falling from the charmed circle of undefeated elevens it is readily understand able why more failed to get into the higher brackets. Ut. Albert w.. Siclari of the AACS Squadron and Pfc. Lee R. Buckley of Section G each failed to call the turn on one of these games.
 The Carnegie Tech football team has been disbanded for the season consequently the game with Pitt was never contested. As we mem tioned once before the games are chosen from football sked which was printed back in August and since then the schedules of some of the teams have been revised.
 Nearly double the number of en- tries was received by the Special Service Office during the week, which always makes for bigger and better contests. Keep shooting them in. Who knows, maybe your name will hit the headlines next week as the winner. Rush your pre- dictions in to the aforementioned office before Wednesday, Novem- Der eighth.
 This week we have really select ed some toughies. Wonder who the champ will be. Notice the added three games.
