Crowd, Not Officials,
Blamed by Star for
Fiasco
BY the Associoisd Press

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 23.-Pete Will
liams, the aNavy's No. eft half
back, said here today that Re didn't
know whether he was out Of bounds
On the last play of the thrilling
Army Navy football game and ex-
planned that any blame in those last
confusing seconds should go to the
crowd and not the officials.
The former Miami High School
star, nome for the holidays, gave
the Miami Herald this version OF
the most widely discussed play OF
the 1916 football season:
There were IS seconds to go
when I took the ball on the last
play. I knew it wouldn't take that
long for one play, so when I was
tackled on the 5, jumped up to
run another play, not taking time
to notice if I was in or out Of
bounds.
Substitute Not Detected.
"As the huddle was forming, I
saw Billy Earl, my sub, coming on
the field and ran to the sidelines.
by this time the crowd had
swarmed practically to the line OF
scrimmage, and the official couldn't
see Earl. Consequently, he didn't
stop the clock as he should have
when a substitution came in.
Leon Bramlett, our captain, was
hitting the official on the back, try
ing to show him Earl so we'd get
another chance, but the officials at
tention was on the crowd.
"I stood on the sidelines watch
ing the clock tick away the last 10
seconds, and knew that with all
those spectators on the field, it was
all over.
Saws Cadets Cheered Navy.
Those last 10 seconds-not get
ting the chance I figured We should
have had-and the loss will be the
! biggest sore spot in my memory.
! 1T was tough to be so close anc
miss, but even in defeat we wor
something.
Here's why say that: The Army
cheering section was yelling and il
wasn't the Hold that line yell
heard. Believe it or not. they were
chanting 'Scorce, Navy, score
THAT was something - Cadets
cheering for US. If We had scored
it would have ruined their clean
tllree-year record. Still they were
cheering for u.s."

|Undefeated Kentucky
Appears Well on Way
To U. 5. Cage Title
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Having all
ready brushed past number of for
midable foes in establishing their
longest consecutive winning streak,
Kentucky's all-conquering Wildcats
today appear well on their way in
their quest for the mythical national
college basket ball championship.
Kentucky's latest win, 1880 tri-
umph over ST. Johns of Brooklyn
at Madison Square Garden Saturday
night, was its Oath straight over
two-season span and its ninth Of
the current campaign.
The Wildcats never looked better
than in scalping the st. Johns Red
men before record Garden crowd
of 18,493. The apparent ease with
which the Southerners rolled over
the Indians prompted st. Johns
Coach Joe Lapchick to remark that
Kentucky was the best college team

Kentuckys Southeastern Confer

State, did not fare as well as the
Wildcats in their Eastern campaign.
Both were knocked out of the Ma
tions unbeaten list. Long Island
University ended the Vols four
game winning streak with 1922
victory at the Garden. and Canisius
handed L. S. U. its first setback in
four games, $3.50.
Six other major fives, Northwest
ern, Ohio State, Bradley U. of Peoria,
st. Joseph's of Philadelphia, Ford
ham and Penn fell from the ranks
of the undefeated.
Northwestern dropped its first
game in six starts when upset by
Southern California at the Chicago
Stadium, 1914.
A host of major teams remained
on the unbeaten list with Kentucky.
They are headed by C. c. N. Y,
Texas, Wyoming and Western Mich
igan, each having won seven games.
Six-game winners include Oregon,
Oregon State and Syracuse. Du-
quesne, Iowa, Minnesota and Utah
State have won five apiece.

Says PATE Passed Up

With Ted Schroeder of Glendale

Jack Kramer of Montebello, Calf.
chosen to represent the United
States in the Davis Cup challenge
round against Australia, Frank Par
ker expressed bitter disappointment
today in being passed over by non
playing Captain Walter PATE.
Schroeder has been named to
meet John Bromwich of Australia
with Kramer pitted opposite the
veteran Dinny Pals in the opening
singles matches Thursday The
Associated Press learned authorita-
lively that the two CalifCrnians
also would handle the doubles as
signment for the United States
team, although this has not been
officially announced.
Parker, making no effort to mask
his chagrin, declared that Pate's
decision was based entirely on
personal preference and not on
ability"
IF I had known this was going
to happen I'd have stayed al home, -
he added
Parker Second In Rankings.
Parker, United States singles
champion in 1914 and AS, is rated
second to Kramer in the current
rankings and is the only member of
the United States squad with singles
experience in the cup challenge
round. He did not compete in the
Victorian tourney where Schroeder
made his bid, but in practice match
es since he has held his own with
the lanky Californian.
At first it seemed that Parker and
Mulloy might grab the doubles port
folio as Kramer for long time was
off his game. But lately the Ameri-
can aces swatting has been spark
ling. Yesterday he and Schroeder
fairly blasted Parker and Talbert
off the courts with a 6-1, 6-3, 60,
conquest.
With Kramer and Schroeder
handling both singles and doubles
it will mark the first time that the
responsibility has been saddled on
two men in the challenge round for
the United States since Big Bill
Tilden and Little Bill johnson of
California Invaded the antipodes in
1920 and took the coveted cup home.
Schroeder. United States singles
champion in 1912 when he whipped
Parker, apparently won the second
singles berth behind Kramer by
reaching the Victorian tournament
finals. He was defeated in straight
sets by BromWich, Australia's No.
player, but en- route to the title
round he conquered Pals, the Aus
sizes second best player, in five
sizzling sets
Schroeder Unranked.
Peculiarly, Schroeder is unranked
in the latest United States listings
because of insufficient play in 1916.
He and Kramer are double team
Of long standing and In 1910 and Al

The experts here, however believe
it doesn't make much difference
which doubles team the United
States chooses. They believe Brom-
wich and the veteran Adrian Quist,
partners in nearly 100 doubles vic
tories, can whip any combination
Uncle Sam can put together.
QuIst, after weeks of Indifferent
play, suddenly has reached such
great form in the last few days that

Polish Jewry Suffers
Still From Terrorists,
Cabinet Aide Relates

Polish Jewry, nearly wiped out by
the Nazis during the war, is still
suffering as result of attacks by
terrorist bands inspired and guided
by reactionaries abroad, according
to Dr. Emil Sommerstein, vice min
lister of the Polish cabinet and pres
ident of the Central Jewish Com
mittee of Poland.
DR.. Sommerstein, here with
ten-man delegation to seek Ameri-
can aid for Polish Jews, declared
at a press conference at the Ra-
leigh Hotel yesterday that the gov
eminent does all in its power to
ss4amp out anti-Semitism in Poland,
going so far as to make the spread
Ing of anti-Semitic propaganda a
crime against the state and vio-
lence against Jews capital Of
Tense. Nevertheless, he declared,
anti-Semitic activities continue.
I'VE are confident that American
Jewry will contribute heavily in
money, medical equipment. food
stufs and clothing for these peo-
pie, who surely deserve chance to
a decent life after what they have
been through" the bearded DR..
Sommerstein said.
= The group has been in the United
States since May 81, comforting
with representatives of major jew
ish organizations.
Approximately 100000 Jews re-
main alive of the 100000 who
were in Poland before the war. DR..
Sommerstein said. Of these. TO-
600 survived the war in Poland;
the remainder were accepted as
refugees in the Soviet Union and
are now being repatriated. he de-
clared. adding it was the repatriates
who now are in the worst need.
DR.. Sommerstein asserted high
percentage of Polish Jews would
like to 60 to Palestine if a Jewish
homeland were established there, |
and that the Polish government
backs them in this desire.
The group arrived in Washington
at noon yesterday and entrained for
New York last night following a re-
ception in their honor at the Polish !
