little bit tomorrow when Fleet City's
bluejacketed behemoths and Ell

for the unofficial service football
championship.
Call 1t unofficial only because
service brass probably won't recog-
nize any champion, but the winner
Of this titanic struggle certainly
merits recognition.
Fleet City has won nine games
and tied one t13-13 with st. Mary's
Prehight). The bluejackets, based
near San Francisco. have rolled up
327 points to opponents 50.
The Flying Marines, based at
Santa Anita, Calf, have crossed ISL
points to so, winning eight and los
ing one-to Fleet City, 21-7, two
months ago in San Francisco. The
Marines still maintain that was a
fluke.
Both have beaten the best the
Army Air Forces had to offer. Fleet
City beat the 4th Air Force, which
was the only team to whip the high
ranking Sd Air Force. Fl Toro
proved its class by edging the AAF

ATLANTA. Dec. S.-Creation OF
the American Basket Ball Congress
was announced today. The new
organization plans to stage its first
event next March els with some 80
States represented by their cham
pionship teams.
John B. Moon, Georgia sportsman,
named commissioner of the con-
gress, said the organization would
operate under a system closely re-
sembling the American Baseball
Congress, staged annually at Wich-
ita, Kans.
I'VE propose to determine q gen.
uine national basket ball cham
pion." Moon said.
Participants In the congress will
be determined by district and State
competitions supervised by the
Basket Ball Congress.
The winning team in the congress
event will be given q prize Of 81 900
plus . share Of the gate receipts.
The single elimination plan will be
followed.

made but Virginia Tech for October
10 and West Virginia already have
announced they again will play
Maryland. Then, too, that Novem-
Der II date may be filled to give the
Terps 10-game card.
There Is one fault to be found
with complete reversal of dates.
There is an abundance of games at
home early in the season and only
one in November Filling the No
vember IT date with a home game
would cure that.
1t also Is probable that Virginia
Tech again will be visited. This
game in 1915 originally was sched-
uled for College Park but was
shifted to Blacksburg after the Vir-
ginia contest was changed from
Charlottesville to Washington.
