NavyCaught Mapping,
But Beats Maryland

It's becoming so you can't trust
your grandmother in sports. Yester-
day, for instance, Burt Shipley al
most double-x'd his old pal Johnny
Wilson'S Navy quintet by using a
man-for-man instead of zone de-
fense in the first half of their game
at Annapolis. 1t might have worked,
but the Old Liners had something
in their eye-not baskets-and blew
all but 6 of 81 shots in the half and
Navy ground out a comparatively
easy 44-35 win.
1t would have been pretty embar-
RAISING for Wilson if Ships strategy
had succeeded. He's battled the
Maryland mentor so often he took it
for granted Ship would use the zone
defense and was caught with his
guard down.
1t was Maryland's fifth setback in
seven games and was tightener for
stiff battle ahead to get into the
annual Southern Conference title
playoff. The Terrapins meet North
Carolina State Saturday night in the
first half of twin bill and need a
win to restore their conference rec
ord to a 500 level.
Navy bottled up Jack Flynn, put
ting Don Dick on him, and that
evidently fried the Terps' goose. The
Old Line ace sank only one field goal
and the work of Pete Pinocci and Vic
Tuyn wasn't enough to Offset the
loss of his scoring power.
Jack Carroll and Ken Shugart
topped Navy's scoring with II points
each, sparkling flrst-half drive that
gave a 2l-14 advantage at intermis-

It's a perfect week so far for Dis
trict public high quints In competi-

all except Tech and Woodrow Will
son in action. Coolidge and Western
were winners yesterday, the latter

The Colts made it five straight

easy in downing st. Adams, 1892.
Coolidge and Episcopal were dead
locked, 2121, at the half in a game
at Alexandria, but scores by Bill
Cannon and Bob Kleinknecht pulled
the Colts in front to stay.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Bill Dick

totals are even he would decide

.Gueth|er Again Leads
District Pin League;
Miciotto Second
BY BEN MeALWEE.

Frank (Bub) Guethler, Washing
tons No. l bowler and captain of
the Lucky Strike team, today again
was top average man in the Dis
trict League with mark of 1926
for 48 games.
The specializing southpaw last
night carried the battle for the in

strongest bowling circuit to North

Watson, who monbh ago had
snatched the lead from him. Wat
son shrank his average to 1918
with 1884.
Despite 1854 which sliced II pins
off his average, Bob Miciotto, King
Pin pilot, held to the runnerup
spot with an average of 127-17 for
81 games.
With Guethler firing 1888 and
Watson off the beam, it was a bad
night for the third place Northeast

game. Temple, however, got break

won the middle skirmish.
Second-place King Pin, led by
Lindsey Stott's 40, whipped Colonial
Village, 81, to move within two
games Of first place.
HyattSville tied for third place
as Temple missed its chance to move
up the ladder by losing two games
to Silver Spring. H. A. Wilson'S
1876 and 400 paced the winners.
Paul Harrison, one Of the city's
star bowlers a decade ago, was in

Rolling the seasons second high

Conference asserted that the NILS
new commissioner, Bert Bell, had

an All-America team in Philadel-

Bell was named to succeed Elmer

st. Joseph's College can leave Vince
Poletti home the next time 1t visits
Catholic University and it will be
okay with the Cards. But even
without the sharpshooting forward
the visitors would have had little
trouble with the inept Brooklanders.
They won, 1881, after amassing a
52-l8 margin in the first half.
Poletti put on scoring exhibition
by sinking II field goals while his
mates were squelching the Cardinal
attack. 1t was a battle for 10 min
utes, but st. Joseph's pulled away
at that point and won in a romp.
