Election in January
Seems Assured for
|Woodrum Successor
By the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, VA, Dec. IA Jan.
uary election to name the successor
to Representative Woodrum, Demo-
cat, of Virginia, appeared assured
today and there were many indica-
tions that Judge James L. Almond
jr., Of Roanoke may gain the Demo-
cratic nomination and the Con-
Uessional seat without opposition
While Gov. Darden has made no
omcial announcement of his inten-
tions, he has received and acknowl-
edged the resignation of Mr.. Wood
rum, which is to become effective
December 81, and has indicated that
he contemplates calling q special
election sometime In January to
fill the vacancy.
The Governor also has intimated
that he wants to provide plenty of
time between the issuance Of the
writ Of election and the date set for
the balloting, but If there is no
opposition to the Democratic candi-
date, who will be nominated by
convention in Lynchburg December
Is, the period between the call and
the actual day Of voting may be
shorter.
Under the election laws, If there
are more than IS days between the
writ of election and the date set,
candidates have 80 days in which to
file: If the period between the call
and the election Is less than IS days,
candidates are given only five days
in which to file in order to provide
time for printing and distribution
Of ballots.
Thus far, only the name Of the
Roanoke Hastings Judge has been
advanced and 1t appears the Dem
ocratic nomination may be tanta-
mount to election, as the Republi-
cans in the district have given no
indication Of Offering a candidate.

Maryland Double Bill
Tops Sports Card;
Gauaudet Wins

Maryland's bargain bill with Vir-
ginia in basket ball and North Caro-
lima Prefight in boxing, and
American University's cage duel
with Bridgewater comprise tonight's
sports menu.
Gallaudet's energetic tossers got
the District quints of to victorious
start last night by nosing out 10y
ola. 1886, at Roosevelt High School
Gym, and American is expected to
continue the good work. Maryland
will enter both Of it's engagements
on the long end of the odds.
Bridgewater took a 63-56 lacing
from Washington College at Cfes-
tertown last night and will not be
in docile mood for the Eagles, but
at best the Virginians appear to
have only an outside chance Of win
ming. Coach Artie Boyds charges
are sitting pretty atop the Mason
Dixon Conference with seven
straight wins and no losses and are
top-heavy favorites to cop the crown
In the annual tournament.
Coach Paddy Kane is banking on
his lighter men to pace the Terp
ringmen to their first victory Of the
season and Maryland is given a good
chance of squaring the 5-3 loss 1t
took from Prefight last week.
Leslie Massey, who has been In
the background most of the season,
came through with points that en-
abled Gallaudet to avenge an over
time defeat at Loyola's hands earlier
in the season. Massey sank field
goal and foul to send his mates
ahead. and Gallaudet then success
fully froze the ball.

5y tAlE AcoOCkdICa kACocs
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-The clock
struck So for Big Bill Tilden today,
but the hardy perennial of the courts
scarcely noticed-he still was too
busy with his tennis.
The angular, aging but active ace
apparently needs no more than sew
eral sets of tennis daily to keep him
young. He averages at least five a
day.
Greatest Snowman in the history
Of tennis, Tilden is the only remain
ing, active member Of the golden '20s
which saw him, Babe Ruth, Bobby
Jones, Tommy Hitchcock and Jack
Dempsey the big five in sports.
Bill is here to play with his old
doubles partner. Winnie Richards,
and others in the Grossinger can
teen-by-mail tennis show February
II. Proceeds will help distribute
packages to our armed forces.
Tilden began swinging a racket
in 1900. One year later, aged 7, he
won his first cup. Asked how long
he expected to continue public play,
the old master said: Il haven't the
foggiest idea; just as long as think
I can hit a ball well enough for
others to enjoy it."
Bill considers Noel A. Brown, jr.,
of San Diego, an l8-year-old boy
now at Occidental College, in the
Navy Viz, the most promising
young player he's seen in the decade.
His game is the first complete
all-court, all-stroke style based on
intelligence and subtlety of any
young conner I've come across in
that time" said Tilden. He is a
