BRIBERY CASE WILL
BE REPORTED SOON

CHICAGO, Jan. 81 - (P THE
National Football league will gel
a full report from Commissioner
Bert Bell on the attempted fix
of it's 1916 championship game
when the 10-member circuit
tackles next seasons schedule
making here Thursday through
Saturday.
The always cumbersome task Of
drafting a playing slate is expected
to be further complicated by a
suggestion from owner George
Marshall of the Washington Red.
skins that the leagues western and
eastern divisions be separated lnlc
two distinct leagues with Individual
schedules and standings.
The sordid tale of how a New
York gambler, Alvin Paris, trleo
to bride backs Frank Filchock and
Merle Hapes of the New 4ork
Giants to throw the title playot1
to the Chicago Bears last month
and up-to-the-moment develop.
ments in the case presumably will
be told league officials by Commits
sioner Bell.
Bell. who said in New York Tues
day he would defer final action in
the indefinite suspension of Hapes
and Filchock until New York's
district attorney closes his inves-
tigation, has full authority under
the league constitution to handle
the matter without league instruc-
zion.
Marshall dual league plan calls
for the five teams in each separate
bracket to play home-and-home
schedules, OF possibly three games
against each other, to be follow
ed by the regular westerr-eastern
title playoff.

The Johnny McKoy VS.. Leonard
McKoy scoring duel resulted just
as expected with lanky Leonard
tossing in 81 markers to lead all
scorers and Johnny finding the
range for IA tallies to pace the
Wildcats. Of his 81 markers Leon
ard scored 10 in the last four min
utes of play against the Wildcat
reserves.
Billy Mason, who is the leading
MINIS scorer for the season, had
his worst night of the year last
night as far as point making went.
The lanky 6 #. forward was able
to mark up only five points. He
caused, groans from the audience
three occasions when he missed
easy layup shots. Mason's show
from the foul line was also not up
to par. He missed three of his
six charity losses. But on the de-
Tense he continued to play his
usually fine game, allowing his
man to cor only n point and
grabbing rebound after rebound of
both backboards.

JAYVEES CAPTURE
FOURTH STRAIGHT
Defeat Southport Quine,
"A To 81; Leland On
Slate For Tonight

The rejuvenated New Hanover
High school Junior Varsity turned
OH the steam last night at the
MINIS court to outclass a visiting
Southport High School quintet, A.
81, in the preliminary game before
the YMCA- Wildcat main attraction.
Coach Wallace Vests Jayvees
notched their fourth straight VIC
tory by working the ball more
smoothly than in any game seen
here this season. LinWood Taylor,
Jere Hilburn, and an outstanding
newcomer, Pat Harrington, should
cred the offensive burden for the
scrappy Junior Varsity, amassing
together a total of 80 of their clubs
"a TALES. Harrington and Taylor
proved Workhorses under the back
boards, while Hilburn shot with
deadly accuracy from the sides
of the court. Guards Homer Ellis
and Eugene ''Shorty" Stevens also
played a fine game.
The scoring threat and the only
person who kept the visitors in
the contest was Mollycheck, big
forward, who lofted 18 markers
through the Irvine to lead all point
makers on both sides.
Following the Jayvee contest
Coach West announced that the
New Hanover High Girls team will
play Leland at Leland tonight at
7 o'clock, and the Junior Varsity
will take on the Leland High boys
club at $3.50.
The probable lineup for the girls
will be Dot Harrison, COLLEEN Gand.
and Jimmie Henderson at forwards,
and Ivey hawthorne. Marianne
Mann. and Carol Hocutt at guards.

North College Park Asks
Urban Electric Rates

Residents of the northern area OF
College Park today were proceeding
with plans to seek an extension OF
urban electric rates into their Sec
ton of the town.
Following a meeting last night
sponsored by the Berwyn District
Civic Association, residents from
the Sd, 4th and 5th wards made
plans for representatives to confer
with the Potomac Electric Power
Co. and the State Public Service
Commission on the proposed reduc-
tions. The rates already are in ef-
feet in the wards in the southern
part of the town.
Speakers estimated an extension
of urban rates throughout the town
would result in a saving of about 81
on the monthly bills of private con.
sumers and even greater savings to
commercial users. Petitions were
distributed for residents to sign.
Gerald Bristow, president of the
civic body, presided at the session in
the Berwyn School.

Three Army privates, patients at

The three soldiers are John J,

Policemen Kenneth Morreau and
Charles Williams.
Bond for their release, pending
grand jury action in October. was
set at $500 each by Trial Magis-
trate Arthur P. Owens in Hyatts-

in the field for county's first elected
school board which will be chosen
this fall.
The new candidate is Charles
Bennett Quade, AZ, who will run for
sheriff as an independent. His an
nouncement made three-way con-
test with Joseph Elwood Clements,
the Democratic nominee, and Her
bert Marcy, retired White House
police captain and another inde-
pendent. The Republicans did not
nominate candidate for sheriff.
MIR. Quade was born in st. Marys
County, Md He attended the River
Springs (Md) School and the Boyd
Secretarial School, Washington. He
was employed by the Southern Rail-
way when its Office was moved from
Washington to Atlanta. 1t was
there that he met and married Miss
Agnes Conley. They live at 871
North Kensington street and have
a small son, John. Mr. Quade oper-
ated a sea food restaurant at 2605
Wilson boulevard until recently. He
is member of the Community
Methodist Church.
Board Candidate Expected.
Additional candidates for the
school board were expected to file
petitions with the clerk of the court
today or tonight, thereby assuring
a contest for the five seats. The
school board nominating convention,
representing some 40 citizens groups,
Saturday night named a f1ve-man
slate. The race is scheduled to be
nonpartisan and neither the Demo-
cratic or Republican Parties placed
candidates in the field.
Although the GAA took no action
on candidates last night, it was ex-
pected that the organization, which
opposed an elected school board in
the May referendum, will come out
in favor of at least partial slate
before the election.
1t was considered unlikely that
the GAA will indorse any of the
members of the nominating con-
vention's slate because most OF the
groups represented in the conven-
ton were ones which worked for an
elected school board.
Hoge Succeeds Pratt.
Charles o. Pratt, who was chair
man of the GAA during the May
referendum fight and more recently
has been chairman of the Executive
Committee, resigned from GAA last
night because he is the Republican
candidate for trial justice in No
vember. Mr.. Pratt said he felt con-
tinuing his membership while a
COP candidate would be inconsist-
ent with the "nonpartisan" charac-
ter of the GAA.
w. S. Hoge, jr., Arlington real
estate man, was named to succeed
Mr.. Pratt.

parently were driven off by the gas,
