BY The Assoeia,ed Press

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 18-South-

route to New Orleans today for a

lanes football Green Wave and a
chance to avenge a 27-to-13 licking
administered by Tulane .on the West
Coast in 1912.
The game originally was scheduled

Its attendant travel difficulties made
this impossible and the universities

At least 10 of the GREENE squad
who expect to see action Saturday,
played against Southern Cal in
1912, took the time out to fight a
war and returned to college In good
condition. The Trojans have five
boys who were members Of the
team that bowed to Tulane four
years ago.
Coach Henry Frnka of Tulane
praised his teams physical and
mental condition and said that his
boys were ready to give good ac-
count of themselves against the
Trojans.
The California team departed
from Los Angeles by train last
night and planned a workout to-
day at Tucson, Ariz! Coach JEFF

proved this. Plans in other cities
have shown similar results. In
every case there are certain basic
requirements: The programs must
be made attractive and the bene-
ficiaries must understand that par
ticipation Is privilege denied to
them If they misbehave. There
must be adequate facilities and
equipment and more than adequate
leadership.
A sandlot or an old barn is better
than no place to play, but a boy
does appreciate real baseball Or
football field or gym. 1t isn't
enough to provide a rubbly play
ground and say, Go ahead and
play" Some capable person or per-
sons must get the kids to come
around and show them what to do
when they get there. We know Of
dozens of teachers and Coaches who
give lot of their time to such
projects and receive little If any
extra compensation. There must be
thousands of others.
This normally light column hasn't
said everything about the subject
and may not have said 1t In the
best way, but we hope this will help
to induce every reader to support
sports programs or to
create them where they don't exist.
1t will take a lot of large and small
scale planning, lot of work and
a lot of money.

Fans Get Everything
As Lions, 0Iympics
Battle 10 S-S Tie
By GEORGE Huber

Hockey customers are getting
everything, even including some
good hockey, at Uline Arena nova
days. The Washington Lions and
the Boston Olympics, also the ref
cree and linesman, went from the
sublime to the ridiculous last night
and back again to produce a fan
tastic 8-8 tie.
There was little rassling, base
ball and boxing along with the
hockey. Best slugging match was
that produced by Washington S
Phil Vitale and Boston's Penti Bund
late in the second period, and it
took SO long to restore order
that the Boston players nearly
missed catching the II o'clock rattler
out Of town. Vitale's broken nose
received in Boston last week, was
feinjued.
Gets Good Workout.
For some reason. Vitale isn't liked
by the Boston team, but as one Pic
player remarked after the contest:
"A couple more games and we'll
make hockey player out of that
boy" They did give him good
workout last night.
The score itself wasn't the only
unusual thing last night. Coach
Jack Riley of the Lions got 2 min
utes in the penalty box for some
thing never before called here,
playing the puck with his hands"
He had to. A big Boston defenseman
was sitting on his stick. Play also
had to be stopped once after Bos-
ton player batted a flying puck with
his stick and sent long outfeld
ny into the bleachers.
In between all that the two teams
produced some good, fast hockey.
They dashed up and down the ice,
passing and shooting from all angles
and both, goalies. Dave Kemp of
Washington and Red Henry of Bos-
ton, more than earned their keep.
Visitors Score First.
Boston scored first when Pat
Souuiil toSaeu one III carry III tne
opening quarter, but Riley tied it for
Washington shortly after and that
was the last time the Pics were in
front. Washington then took COM
mand and led six times during the
evening. The Pics tied it every time,
though, and that's the way it ended.
1t all leaves the Lions in third
place, 2 points behind first place
Baltimore, which tied Valleyfield
Braves, 3-3 last night. The Lions
are on the road tonight, meeting
the second place Rovers at New
York,

the Knicks. 70-52. Sunday and are
strengthened by a trade with the
Toronto Huskies which brought Ed
Sadowski and Ray Wertis. Sandow-
ski was the league-leading scorer
when he left the Huskies last month
and has been on the auction block
since.

leads the league with 334 points,
while Joe Fulks, Philadelphia s
sharp shooter, boasts the best point
average at 207.
Sandowski sank Is points last
night, as did frankie Baumhaltz, to
pace the Rebels to a 1862 victory
over the Huskies. The battle,
staged at Cleveland, was nip and
tuck for three periods, but the
sharp-shooting of Sandowski and
Baumholtz proved decisive in the
final frame.
In the only other league tilt last
night Detroit,s Falcons lost their
fourth straight as the Philadelphia
Warriors romped to q 57-49 tri-
umph at Philadelphia. The warriors
pulled away in the third period
