AnacOstia Gives Tech Fishf.


Anacostia Gives Tech Fight.
Coach Tommy Nolan's Anacostia
Indians had the defensive combi-
nation to stop Techs fast break
and while Tech was in front all
the way it was SO pressed through
out that its first-stringers had to
remain in action most Of the time.
Three baskets by John Moffatt in
the first period helped put the
Maroons in front, 9-4, and this
margin still held at the half with
Tech leading, 1910.
In the third frame the Maroons
still were unable to make the ex-
pected walkaway of the game
Moffatt got another pair of buckets
to help keep them in front, but Jim
Flaherty counted with a potshot and
two free tosses for Anacostia and
Tech still had 5-point margin,
21-16, to carry into the last quar-
ter. Anacostia had shot It's bolt
by this time, however, and Tech
finally was able to move away with
Moftatt again scoring twice and
Jim Kranking adding two, charity
tosses and layup to help increase
the Maroons' final margin.

President United States Lawn Tennis
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The United
States Lawn Tennis Association ex-
poets in 1914, as in 1943, to keer
amateur tennis alive, to provide
relaxation, recreation and healthy
exercise for the benefit of men and
women In the armed forces, for
workers In war industries and for
boys and girls under military age.
In 1943 fewer tournaments for the
ranking players were scheduled, but
many informal events were held for
local players, at which all the re-
ceipts, without deduction of any
expenses, were given to the Amer
ican Red Cross. Other war relief
agencies also benefited from the
Journeys.
Tennis balls were distributed by
the USLTA to some 80 Army and
Navy training centers where tennis
is popular, but the equipment was
inadequate to supply the demand.
These balls were donated by players,
clubs. schools, colleges and public
parks, and were deeply appreciated
by officers and enlisted men.
Main Championship Held.
Balls, nets and rackets also have
been purchased for shipment over
seas to men in our armed forces in
North Africa and in the South Pa
cif1c.
All the outdoor national cham
pionships for juniors, boys and girls
were held, and also the five major
senior championships. The decision
to hold the championships was COM
mended by our Governments Com
mittee on Physical Fitness and was
supported by the tennis public. A
number OF the ranking players in
the Army and Navy saved up their
furloughs to take part in the cham
ponships, which were streamHned
to meet war conditions.
Tennis is one Of the few games
which boys and girls can continue
to play for many years after grad
uation. Efforts have been continued
to encourage more schools to in
clude tennis in their athletic and
physical education programs. Some
progress has been made.
Tennis Clinics Are Held.
In Philadelphia, for example, the
school authorities authorized tennis
clinics in 10 high schools. In Chi
cago tennis classes were held in five
public parks. In Cincinnati several
thousand youngsters will be pro-
vided with elementary instruction in
the game during this winter and
spring. To help the inexperienced
tennis coach the USLTA has issued
in mimeographed form a course of
four lessons on forehand and back
hand drives, serve and volley.
Amateur tennis now is on a
sounder basis than it has been for
a long time. The revised regula-
tions, adopted unanimously by the
1941-42 annual meetings of the
USLTA, have helped, to open up the
field to the younger players and
have brought about healthier con-
ditions and fairer competition in
our tournaments. $3.50. ass,
informal discussions have started
with the English LTA in regard to
postwar tennis. It Is hoped that the
USLTA, In cooperation with other
tennis associations, may play q
leading part in resuming interna-
tional play after the war.
