Is Most Lopsided in
Title Tournament

sEastern's ragged Ramblers, a
mile off form last night, managed to
squaeze out a 38-to-27 decision over
Western before 500 shivering fans
in Techs unheated gym to move
into tie with Wilson for the lead
in the interhigh basket ball series.
A poWerhouse Tech quintet,
meanwhile, had swamped Anacos-
tia, 81 to 20, in the afternoon tilt
in the Tech ice house to move into
a position threatening the unde-
feated loop leaders. 1t was the most
lopsided score so far in the series.
The games may be the last Satur-
day schoolboy contests to be played
here for the duration. Remainder
of the championship clashes prob
ably will be shifted to school day
afternoon dates, physical education
officials present at last nights game
indicated, due to the decision to
heat the gyms only on days when
classes are in session.
| Chilled hands and goose pimples
may have been factor in Eastern's
weak showing against Western that
ignored the frost to take a first
quarter lead and battle to within
two points of the Ramblers again
and again before the Eastern at
tack warmed up in the final period
Lead Shifts Several Times.
Trailing in the opening heat,
Western. with lanky Jack Castro
leading the way, started things off
with a free shot and Buddy Hart,
IS pounds of lightning, added a
goal moment later. Castro sank
another charity throw, Doug Dud-
ley tossed in two more, and Western
was on top, 6 to S, at TAO. Larry
Murphy hit the cords for a field
goal 10 seconds later to give Western
an 8-to-5 advantage at the quarter.
Eastern went ahead In the next
frame on goals by Eddie Charnock,
but Hart arched in set shot from
midcourt to put Western back in
the lead until Bob Spicknall of
Eastern tied it up and added an
other to put Eastern in front. Bob
Lamon, the Ramblers' top scorer
who was missing all evening, finally
clicked momentarily to give Eastern
17-to-13 half-time advantage.
Western fought back in the third
period, four times coming within a
pair of points of tying it up, and
Eastern could manage only a 23-to-
81 edge going into the fourth period
when the Rambler power finally be-
gan to show with Lamon collecting
three goals and a charity throw and
Charnock notching a trio of two
pointers.

He has no worries about his arm, for he has filled in around the shoulders and is much stronger than he was when he left the K. c. Blues for war service Within a week or so he will have talk with N.

SOUTHERN GAL VS. U.C,L.,A, ON TAP TONIGHT
By WILLIAM TUCKER United Press Stan COrrespOndent)

'OMACeu ETeSS Stam COrreSpOnuSnCD
 New York, Sept. 21.-(UP)-Pig- skin pandemonium breaks loose across the country this weekend, starting tonight in Los Angeles when 80,000 fans are expected to watch the Southern California Trojans open against their bitter cross-town rival, U. 0. L. A.
 Tonight's classic headlines a card of Il major games and score of lesser struggles from coast to coast that may attract a total of 5O0 1000 cash and victory-flushed fans to the first big postwar football show.
 As Q rare September treat, the renewal of traditional rivalries is offered in the far west, midwest, south and east. And the military flavor is still very much in evidence as half a dozen training school teams, predominantly those of the air forces, trot out their wares.
 The feature games by section, and probable attendance:
 East-Syracuse vs. Cornell at Syracuse, N. Y. (18,000); Bucknel vs. Villanova at Lewisburg, Pa. CO., O00).
 south-Duke vs. South Carolina at Durham, N. c. (20,000); Missis- Sippi vs. Kentucky at Memphis, Tenn. (15,000).
 Midwest-Michigan vs. Indiana at Ann Arbor, Mich. (30,000); Purdue vs. Marquette at Lafayette, Ind. (l8,000); Northwestern vs. Iowa State at Evanston, III. (25,000); Illi- nois vs. Pittsburgh at Champaign, Ill. (20O00).
 Far west-Southern California U. CHA. (90,000); California vs. St. Marys at Berkeley, Cal. (40,000).
 Jackets vS. Airmen
 In addition, a whale of a service game may draw two-score thousand to San Francisco's big Kezar Sta- dium Sunday when the Fleet City Bluejackets meet the Second Air Force Superbombers from Colorado Springs, Col. Both teams are loaded with former professional and col- lege stars, particularly the Super bomberS whose star is Frankie Sink wich, lately of the Detroit Lions. The Superbombers were upset by another air force eleven, The Fourth, in their opener a week ago.
 The training teams also hog the Saturday spotlight in Texas when they take on the leading members of the Southwest Conference. Black land AAF meets Southern Method ist, Ellington Field takes on Texas A. & M. and the Bergstrom AAF meets Texas university.
 Far West Special
 In national interest, the big game is the Southern California-UC CHA. affair because the Trojans' hopes for c third straight Rose Bowl in- vitation may be flattened or sent soaring ct the opening gun.
 U.C.L.A. is regarded as Trojans' chief barrier to an al-w1nning sea- son on the coast but some observers believe the dark-horse of the west might be the team from little St. Mary's which meets always-tough California tomorrow.
 In the midwest, Michigan rates @ strong favorite over Indiana while Minnesota, with Bernie Bierman back at the helm, must hurdle a potent Missouri eleven if 1t expects to regain its once mighty national ranking.
 Syracuse Cornell in the east looks like a toss-up as does the Missis- sippi-Kentucky tilt in the south but Duke, looking for another South ern Conference crown, is big fa- Vorite over South Carolina.
