With professional and collegiate
sports shaken by recent directiveS,
the huge crowds focking to school
basket ball contests have forced the
District high school coaches to un-
dertake a drastic revision of the
title schedule.
1t originally was planned to stage
the interhigh championship race in
the form of double-headers on Fri
day and Saturday nights in the Tech
gym, but the inaugural week end
proved that the crowds could not be
kept. under control on such setup.
With every seat taken, they were
sitting on the rafters last Friday
night.
Today the 8 coaches in the inter-
high circuit began discussion of a
new schedule, and it was indicated
that the games would be spotted
around the loop at the various
schools instead of setting them all
at Tech. Double-headers probably
will be ruled out and it may be that
the games will be spread throughout
the week.
No definite action has been taken
on this weeks interhigh twin bill
and it Is possible that it will remain
on the list as the last double header
Meanwhile, the nonseries schedule
roared on, with attendance booming
and play getting hot all around the
loop.
Eastern licked George Washing
ton, 80 to 16; Wilson beat WASH
ington-Lee, Al to SO; Tech swamped
st. Anthony's, SO to IS; Bethesda
ran over Western, "a to 18; Hyatts-
vile shaded Landon, IS to 81; Mont
gomery Blair took over Greenbelt,

It was fourth straight win for
the Ramblers last night on Eastern

Most important change recon-

Other changes approved:
Use Of a kickoff tee Of any height

anywhere behind yard line;

touched by opposing team will give
kicking team first down; If quarter
back remains under center and
reaches for ball he must take 1t

completed offended team will get

can be made within 80 seconds.
The committee voted against sud:
den death extensions to decide tie

point; refused to put passer in
category of kicker to give him more
protection; refused to eliminate

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-This ought
to gke you an idea how drastic the
player situation is in the National
Football League:
The Philadelphia Eagles have
offered to pay the travelling expenses
of players and their wives and chill
dren who move to Philly and obtain
employment in an essential job by
February l. Their roster includes
five men from California; one from
Postland, Greg; one from Seattle,
Wash, and another from New
Orleans.
That means spending q wad of
dough, but Coach Greasy Neale
wants to know where you could buy
five good players for few thousand
dollars in transportation costs? And
the Eagles have 10 pretty fair
players on their list.
A total of 800 players, 80 for each
club, will be drafted stoday-if the
teams 60 through with it, and there
won't be many more names on the
board. In normal times the owners
had at least 1000 players from
which to choose Bert Bell of the
Pittsburgh Steelers was offering
odds no owner or coach would be
able to identify more than 40 names
on the board.

in the final conquest of Japan.
And thanks to many factors, some
unknown, and others too numerous
to mention, the japanese threw up
the sponge and called it quite-with
several million armed troops in the
field. This unquestionably saved
the lives of many thousands of our
own troops, for which know we
all have thanked God, and good
generalship. Now that VI Day
has passed, the one thought that
remains in our minds is to have
Our Boys returned to us as quickly
as possible. This 1 believe the
Army and Navy as a whole is try
ing to do.
Frankly, we should face the fact
that some of the fellows will be
required to remain overseas, both
in our naval vessels and serving in
the Armies of Occupation. This
is not a pleasing thought, but a
reality that must be faced. Roland
has reminded folks that letter
writing is just as important now,
as it was formerly when life was
perilous and uncertain. I sincerely
hope that all our readers will keep
this point in mind. All the Boys
and Girls in the Service will tell
you how badly they feel when mail
call is sounded and no letter is
waiting for them. Folks! Don't
let them down! Keep writing and
sending packages until The Boys
and Girls come home.

you'll be back in time to enjoy

over the horizon, and as far as the
eve could reach, kept coming and
coming, passing directly overhead
and over the Missouri, scant two
or three hundred yards away. Then
would come a break in the parade
of B29's, and the sky would be-
come filled with Navy planes. Then
again would start the parade of
B29's, some high, some low, their
powerful engines roaring, causing
everything below to vibrate. And
all morning this display of Ameri-
can might and power was visible.
The surrender ceremony was
broadcast over the radio, and was
piped into every outlet on the ship
so that the Pasadena appeared to
be one immense loudspeaker.
Eagerly we craned our necks
and strained our eyes to follow the
movements being described aboard
the Missouri, but so many people
were crowding the decks of that
ship that we saw nothing but a
mass of ship and humanity, and
small boats approaching and leav-
ing. But being so close to Sc
historic an action made each tingle
with excitement.
The ceremony was brief. A few
minutes after it ended, the last
plane disappeared from the air
Peace had now become reality
That peace, which we in our small
way had contributed to the best of
our capabilities.
Soon we hope to return home,
and to see you and the rest of our
friends and loved ones. But until
we meet again, continue to write
Your letters are as welcome and
cherished now, as they were during
