HEAR DEBATE
AT MEETING
w. M. Broadway Sr. and Gil
bert Lurty Win By a Large
Margin of Votes
ISSUE STATEMENT

At the last meeting of Morning
Star Lodge No. 6, Smyrna, de-
bate was conducted. The subject
was: That the moral attitude of
the youth of today is better than
htat of the youth of yesterday. w.
M. Broadway, Sr., and Gilbert H.
Lurty won the debate, on the af-
firmative side. James R. Fleming
and Meredith Todd presented the
negative side. The arguments of
both sides were interesting and re-
vealing, much research work by
the debaters was shown in statis-
tics from court records and F. B.
I. records. The outcome of this
debate gives all of us much food
for thought and presents vital
problems to each and every one in
terested in the youth of today.
Large Membership
Members of the lodge this week
issued the following statement: ut
is expedient at this time for us to
take a long range vision of the
phenominal growth of our MEM
bership nationally and information
ally and of the great good that
Oddfellows have accomplished. The
sun never fails to set a CLEAN on
the golden links of the American
Order of Oddfellows. 1t stands
today as the strongest brotherhood
of all time. The establishment OF
splendidly equipped homes, or
phanages, libraries, hospitals and
temples stand as the outward and
visible sign of the inward and
spiritual grace of Oddfellowship.
These benefcient gifts help each
and every community in our land.
1t is the pleasure of the member
ship of Morning Star Lodge No. 6
to place on the agenda for the
coming year a campaign to study
the accomplishments and the tre-
mendous work that the order is
doing nationally for the benefit of
the less fortunate members and
their dependents" On July 11th
the Morning Star Lodge No. 6 will
confer the military degree. All
candidates will present themselves.

Three Unbeuten ButtIers Give
The Citadel Ring Tourney Edge

The Citadel, defending champion
in the Southern Conference boxing
tournament scheduled at Maryland
this week end, shapes up as the
favorite, with Maryland conceded
the best chance of topping the
Cadets.
The Citadel will send three unde-
feated campaigners into the ring in
125-pounder John Lindsay, Middle
weight Dale Matthews and Light
heavy Burke Watson. Matthews,
according to the grapevine, may be
the class Of the tourney, from a
boxing viewpoint, having whipped
five opponents by decisive margins.
His father coaches the Cadets and
it is the only father-son combination
in collegiate caulifower circles.
Tommy Maloney, Maryland's nifty
145-pounder, is the lone Old Liner
with no defeats charged against him,
although Tommy has two draws on
his record. His toughest job will be
getting by Ray Avant of South
Carolina, pile-driving puncher who
tko'd three of his five victims.
Ken Malone, Maryland's heavy
weight entry, is unbeaten at that
weight and owns a record of six
wins, one loss and draw. He was
outpointed in a 175-pound bout.

{. U. Opposes Towson
After Victory Over
Bridgewater Five

Catholic University's courtmen
had one more shot at a Mason
Dixon Conference tournament in
vitation today, playing host to Tow

Bridgewater, 52-36, last night. A
victory for the Cards would give

as co-tourney favorites, but Mount
st. Marys has perked up since ac-

Friends Girls Team
Will Take Part in
Star Cage Tourney

The girls section of The Evening
Stars 18th annual metropolitan
intsrscholastic invitation basket ball
tournament was nearly completed
today with the addition of Sidwell
Friends School as one of the teams.
Washington-Lee, last years girls
champion, and Bethesda, the run
ner-up, previously had accepted bids
A fourth team will be announced
shortly.
The tourney will be played from
Monday through Friday Of next
week at the University of Maryland S
Ritchie Coliseum. Girls will see
action in two f1rst-round games on
Wednesday night, with their final
game as preliminary to the boys
final on Friday.
Friends lassies have compiled an
enviable record in the last two years
and we'll deserve a place among
the top teams in this section. Last
season they capped their schedule
by beating Washington-Lee in a
IpoSt-tournament game, and this
year they have won six of eight
starts. They've lost only to Wash
ington-Lee and Bethesda, and also
have beaten Bethesda.
It's likely that Friends will be
paired against Bethesda in the
tournaments first-round game next
week. Not only would this make it
a rubber game between the two this
season, but it also would pit Friends
against the team on. which the
Friends coach, Betty Hallman,
played when she was in high school.
Miss Hallman was a Bethesda stu
dent and played in two previous
Star tournaments. She was on the
Bethesda team which finished sec
ond in 1887 and which won the
girls championship in 1888.
Among the outstanding players
on the Friends team is Pat Meyer.
A forward, she's averaged more than
l6 points a game. Other forwards
are Pat Leadbetter, Joan Cook and
Cornelia Stone. Miss Leadbetter
however, will not be able to play
in The Star tourney as she broke
an ankle last week. Guards are Lu
Lincoln, Margie Walker, Mary Ellen
Barton and Ellen burlington.

Schaefer's Baseball
Pals See Brilliant
Future With Mats
By Lewis F. Atchison

II Pitcher Paul Schaefer makes
the grade with the Nationals it'll be
no surprise to his Boys Club team
mates, who regard him as an ANAL
gamation of Walter johnson, Rube
Waddell and Christy Mathewson.
only with more swift than that
immortal trio could generate to-
gether. Sounds exaggerated, doesn't
It? But let the boys quote you a few
figures.
AS a 13-year- -old, pitching for the
Eastern Branch Peewees, Schaeffer
made his debut against the Wash
ington Flour nine in a seven-inning
fray. He famed 20 consecutive bat
ters, then weakened and walked a
man and the next grounded out to
the third baseman. 1t was a good
beginning and Schaefer's spirit ap-
parently was contagious, for the
team piled up 129 consecutive VIC
tories through the next three years,
The only better mound perform
ance we can think of off hand is
Bump Hadley's 26 strikeouts in a
prep school game that went the
regulation distance. Hsdley had a
successful career with Washington
and the Yankees, and Scnaeffer ap-
parently is following in his cleat
prints.
And speaking of the Yankees,
sandlot fans liked to compare that
Boys Club team in it's sphere of
influence with the 1923 Yankees.
Some of them have gone on to high
school fame and even greener fields
lie beyond. Tex Jones and Bernie
Myles pitched year or so and were
followed by Bill Witzel ard Benny
Duvau. All but Myies went to
Coolidge, but he enrolled at Eastern.
Sal Di Georgi, an Eastern catcher,
was another member of the team,
while Daisy Moran, another Joe
Cronin at shortstop, matriculated at
Tech where he has made a fine
record
Sandlot age limits result in chang
ing personnel, but Coach Barney
Ross has been at the helm since
this started and boys credit most
Of their success to his patient coach
ing and sound judgment. Ross,
who isn't particularly fond of fight
ing even though his handle is
identical with that of former welter-
weight champion, is Hcosier. His
father, q former catcher for the
Indianapolis American Association
club, gave Barney thorough
grounding in the fundamentals of
the game and Barney apparently
gets it over to the youngsters.
George Sengstack, who pitched for
Ross 1916 team, goes to high school
this year and should make an in
valuable addition to some mound
staff. At the Boys Club he won 76
games and lost 6. To replace him
Ross has another promising speed
baller in Dan Goodman, whom, he
predicts, could be the best of them
all. Ross has a hankering for
speed, which may account for his
sideline of plotting midget auto cars
on the Eastern circuit. But what
else could you expect of a guy
from Indianapolis.

munition still is far from being
plentiful, but that situation will be
remedied in due course, and the in
terest of hundreds of thousands of
eX-servicemen who were given skeet
shooting as a part of their training
during their military service, should

the small-bore rifle and pistol shoot

citation. For the present, to put the
NSSA on its feet. the NRA

making available to it all of the

The new NSSA intends to pat
tern itself after the NRA as to

Lions Shoot for 7th
Unbeaten
Match Tonight

The Washington Lions will be
shooting for their seventh straight
undefeated match tonight when
they meet Shawinigan Falls Cat
aracts in a combined Eastern League
and Wills Cup series hockey game
at Uline Arena. The Lions need to
win to get back into a second
place tie with Boston Olympics in
the Eastern League. Game time is
$3.50.
Boston moved ahead of the Lions
last night by routing the slumping
New York Rovers, I'll. Despite their
current third-place standing the
Lions are pretty certain of finishing
in second place, at least, and there's
a mathematical chance of taking
first. New York, now leading with
5S points, has three more games to
play. Boston, second with So, has
two to go, while the Lions, with 81
points. have five games remaining
and figure to pick up necessary
points for second place, at least.
They could move into top spot with
help from other league members
against New York
