They took Jesus therefore: and he
went out, bearing the cross for him.
self, unto the place called the place Of
q skull, which is called in Hebrew
Golgotha: where they crucified him,
and with him two others, Of either
side one, and Jesus in the midst. And
PLATE wrote a title also. and put it on
the cross. And there was written
JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING
OF THE JEWS. This title therefore
read many of the Jews, for the place
where Jesus was crucified was nigh to
the city, and it was written in Hebrew,
and in Latin, and in Greek. The chief
priests of the Jews therefore said to
plate, Write not, The King of the
Jews: but, that he said, l am King OF
the Jews. Plate answered, What |
have written l have written.
The soldiers therefore when they
had crucified Jesus took his garments
and made four parts, to every soldier
a part: and also the coat: now the coat
was without seam, O from the top
throughout. They said therefore, one
to another, Let us not rend it, but cast
lots for it, whose it shall be; that the
scripture might be fulfilled, which
saith,
They parted my raiment
&. among them,
And upon my vesture did they
cast lots.
These things therefore the soldiers
did. But there were standing by the
cross of Jesus his mother and his
mothers sister, Mary, the wife of Clo-
pas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus
therefore saw his mother and the dis
ciple standing by whom he loved, he
said unto his mother, Woman behold
thy son! Then saith he to the disciple,
Behold thy mother! And from that
hour the disciple took her unto his
own home.
After this Jesus, knowing that all
things are now finished, that the
scripture might be accomplished, said,
| thirst. There was there a vessel full
Of vinegar: SO they put a sponge full
Of the vinegar upon hyssop, and
brought it to his mouth. When Jesus
therefore had received the vinegar, he
said, 1t is finished: and he bowed his
head, and gave up the spirit.
And after these things Joseph of
Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus,
but secretly, for fear of the Jews, ask
ed of PLATE that he might take away
the body of Jesus; and Plate gave him
leave. He came therefore and took
away his body.
And there came also Nicodemus,
he who at the first came to him by
night, bringing q mixture of myrrh
and aloes, about a hundred pounds. Sc
they took the body of Jesus, and bound
it in linen cloths with the spices, as
the custom of the Jews is to bury.

THE QUEST, by r. v. C. Bodl,,
Doubleday; S3).

AHE GUEST, by X. v. C. Bodley
Doubleday; ss).
Bodley, who quit England FOR
Arabia, now quits Arabia for
Java. Borneo, China and Japan,
still in search of that inner peace
and self-sufficiency which do not
interest the peoples of the frenetic
western world.
If that makes this latest, excel
lent, worthwhile book of his sound
stuffy, I give the wrong impress
sion. for the sober and disouieting
reflections which abound in 1t
arise from acquaintance with most
unsober and fascinating charac-
tiers, such as De Luca in China.
Kostman in Java and Fraser in
Korea. Bodley can go native, at
least enough to reflect how Of
tended Hindus must be to learn
of a plane named Sacred Cow or
how Moslems must feel when
Shriners make FUN of Mecca; and
"hat could jolt our Wanted SUI
periority more than his delightful
story of the singsong girls who
think even the idea of any sing
song with white men is repulsive?
AS Bodley sees it, the white mans
burden is merely something the
brown man has to carry.
The author has extended his
quest to u country, but I can't
imagine what makes him suppose
he will find the answer here.

| Hockey Lions Hopeful
As PIayoffs Start

The Washington Hockey Lions
are back at full strength, with the
possible exception Of one player, for
tonight's start in the United States
Hockey Association playofs. They
meet the Clippers at Baltimore to-
night, and returning to action for
the Green Shirts are Goalie Dave
Kemp and Defenseman Tommy
Campbell, who were rested during
last Friday nights game, and Winger
Joe Ciuman who has been sidelined
with lame shoulder.
The only one possibly missing to-
night is Center Nick Phillips. Nick
got banged on the shoulder by a
New York player last Friday, and
the injury may keep him out of the
first few games of this playof series.
The Lions just closed their best
Eastern League season, and Coach
Jack Riley has high hopes of taking
this nine-game playoff series. The
winner will get a crack at the ma
tional title in series against the
Pacific Coast League champion,
probably Hollywood, next month.
Other games for the Lions this
week are on Tuesday against Boston
and Friday against New York, both
here at Uline Arena

Fast Fight Promised as Jones
7onqles With Floyd tomorrow

The fast little boys are back In
top spot on the Turner's Arena
fight program. with Herbie (Biff)
jones. of Washington meeting
Jackie Floyd, Philadelphia Negro,
in the 10-round main event feather
weight bout tomorrow night.
Both pack quite punch for
featherweights and both are ex-
ponents of infighting. 1t figures as
a fast fight. Jones is a southpaw
fighter, and for that reason Floyd
may find him as confusing as others
have.
Herbie has won his last three
fights, by knockouts, over Babe
Kelly, Billy Reed and John johnson,
and before that he won a notable
decision over tough Pedro Firpo.
Among Floyd's victims are Vic Flo
res, Filberto Osari, Baby Gonzales
and Archie Wilmer.
Supporting the main go is a mid
dleweight natural between local
boys, Frank Sweeney and Jimmy
Jones. Both also are sluggers,
Sweeney having taken his last five
matches by knockouts. Both were
knockout winners on last Mondays
card, and meet tomorrow in a six
.rounder.
Among the other prelims already
set is four-rounder between Lou
Brown of the University of Mary
land and Nat Padgett of Washing
ton. This is Browns pro debut.

Schroeder, Guiffreda
KIeinknecht, 0'NeiII
Also Win Berths
By GEORGE Huber

He's not among the leading scor-
ers, but Dick Taylor, captain OF
Coolidge Highs champion basket
ball team, is recognized as one OF
the best all-around players to show
here in long time. He tops the
list of schoolboy standouts chosen
on The Evening Stars 1947 All-High
ouint. and his selection as captain
Of that mythical crew will find few
critics.
Coolidge, winner of the District
public high and Metropolitan titles
for two straight years, places one
other player, Bob Kleinknecht, on
The Stars first team, while Eastern,
Wilson and Anacostia have one each.
It's real dream team this year
that combines all basket ball virtues.
There's speed, scoring ability and
versatility all down the line, and
except for one player-Al Guiffreda
OF Eastern-all have height. But AL
has rubber legs that send him up
with the tallest when it comes to
snaring rebounds and generally
making himself useful.
Schroeder, O'Neiil Round Out Team.
Others on the first team are Gene
Schroeder, Anacostia's all-arotldd
athlete, and Pat O'Neill, front man
on Wilson's zone defense and leading
scorer in the interhigh series. Sec
ond team selections are Bob Murray
and. Paul Pacini of Tech, AL Monaco
Of Wilson, Wendell Gilroy of East
ern and Wayne Brizendine of
Western.
Taylor is ball players ball
player. He's the lad who sets up the
players, keeps the team clicking and
who always is assigned to stop the

opposition's best man. AS a defen-
sive player he has no equal this
year, and while he generally didn't
score much, he could come through
with points when needed. In ad-
dition to captaining The Stars ALL
High team this year, he was unan-
irnous choice as outstanding player
in last weeks Metropolitan tourna-
ment.
His ability to get points when
needed was shown in last weeks
Metro tourney. In the first game,
Gonzaga put two men on Klein
knecht and cut that usual scoring
ace down to practically nothing. So
Taylor whipped through as high
man with IA points. In the final,
Kleinknecht was off form because
of illness, and Dick again took over
the scoring lead for the winners
with 10 points.
Schroeder All-Ar0und Star.
Anacostia's Schroeder, because of
his basket ball scoring ability, his
football versatility as end and full
back, and his speed as track dash
man, is the most sought-after col
lege candidate among high school
athletes. He's big and loose and a
consistent scorer and rebound grab
ber.
Kleinknecht is another top scorer
from the pivot, and shares the sea.

Better Pro Grid Pact
with National League
Asked by Minors

A blanket working agreement be-
tween the Association Of Profess
SIGNAL Football Leagues, represent
ing all minor league clubs, and the
National League, was urged yester-
day as the association opened two
day session at the Statler Hotel.
Chairman Rufus Klawans of San
Francisco said such an agreement,
modelled after the ma jor minor
baseball pact, was the only solu-
ton to numerous problems con-
fronting the smaller circuits. The
idea not only had the Endorsement
of most National League club
owners, he said, but their active
support.
AS president of the Pacific Coast
League, Klawans said he also would
ask for an adjustment of the draft
rules, which now prevent minor
leagues from bidding for any COL
legians claimed by National
League club at the annual draft
meeting.
Wants Fairer Rule.
II believe we can work out a much
fairer rule without much trouble" :"
KlaWans said. National League
teams certainly are going to offer
the top stars much more money
than we can afford to pay, but there
are lots Of other players we could
afford to bid for who would prefer
to remain in their home territory.
We believe we should have a chance
to get them, but there is a brick
wall in front of us now and we
can't even talk to them once their
names go on National League
