SPORTS REVIEW By Johnnie Stewart

Referee wherein close decisions are involved in boxing matches held at the Auditorium. We have read Bill Lees account of various matches on his Hart ford Courant sports page and at times have found him going the Referee a round or two bet ter in making seemingly raw de- cisions in the betting choices favor.
 Boxing in Hartford needs the Judge system as used by the state of New York.
 For the second time this sea- son Duquesne University, a Catholic school conducted by the Holy Ghost Fathers in Pitts burgh, has been forced to cancel a basketball game. Both games were cancelled because Coach Charles Davies insisted that a Negro boy on the Duquesne squad be permitted to play, re- gardless of the site of the games, regardless of the wishes of Duquesne's opponents.
 The first game was to have been played at Pittsburgh, on December g, against the Uni versity of Tennessee. The Ten nessee team arrived in Pitts burgh and took the floor for the game, but refused to play when it was learned that the player ill question, Charles Cooper, would be in the Duquesne line up. Said Tennessee, "No Ne groes. Replied Duquesne, "Very well, then-no game. "
 The second game was to have been played last night at the Orange Bowl, in Miami, against the University of Miami. This time Duquesne authorities were, informed by the athletic direc- tor of the Florida school that a rule of the Miami Police De- partment prohibits the parti- cipation of Negroes and white men in the same athletic con- test" Again Duquesne insisted that Cooper be permitted to nia. hen cancelled the game.

Dunn, Hartford $

George Dunn, Hartford s most promising featherweight since Willie Pep's development faces the toughest bout of his short but meteoric career this Tuesday at the Hartford Audi torium, where he meets tough Paulie Jackson of Reading, Pa. Jackson is more ringwise than Dunn and is known as a "spoil err. However, our pick is Dunn to win by the kayo route be- cause of his boxing ability, his coolness under fire and the authority" he carries in either hand.
 George Dunn's handlers, Chick" Adams and "Mushky" Salow are hot on the trail of Eddie Compo, New Haven s Featherweight pride who is han dled by the Mele Brothers who steered Al Gainer into fistic prominence during the early days of Joe Louis career.
 Should the match come about many people are of the opinion that the local Auditorium would not be large enough to hold the crowd such a match would attract.
 We think that Compo is made to order' for Dunn and we also think that the Mele Boys will not risk their man Compo against a boxer-puncher of Dunn s calibre.
 We received a great kick out of Bill Lee s defense of his al- ways t"'going along" with the

The kings of olden days really
had something when they employed
court testers to rove around the
tables while they and their follow
ers were dining - for laughter is
conducive to good digestion. This
was well demonstrated at the BAN

240 Association in the gorgeous
dining room of Georgetown Prep
School. The food was marvellous

silver money he picked from flow

Banquets, especially when cleo

dull moments at the 240 banquet.
Even the election was humorous =

Judge DeLashmutt's tall tall story

Montgomery SideIights :

beautifll app roach to the Nations
Capital.
1t seems appropriate that the
county unit of the Maryland His
torical Society should secure the
old tavern at Great Falls to store
records and mementos, fos in this
region some of the first settle
ments were made.
AS early as 1896 one Richard
Brightwell, with a more adventur-
Gus spirit than previous settlers,
established himself and his dogs in
"Brightwell's Hunting Quarters"
which ran miles along the Po-
tomac between Edwards Ferry
and the mouth of Great Seneca.
Early historians tell us at an
early period, perhaps before 100,
a large number of Scots despairing
of the fortunes of the House of
Stuart took refuge in Maryland
and from them sprang many of
the leading families in Montgom-
cry County. Many of the hardy
souls along old River Road and the
banks of the Potomac are descend
ants of these thrifty long-lived
Scottish people. Amos W. Magru-
der, 81, father of the Rockville
Magruder girls-Edith, Violet and
Naomi, and uncle of Miss Daisy
Magruder, is descendant of Maj.
Samuel Wade Magruder of Revo-
lutionary fame.
In Suburban Hospital after an
operation for fractured hip, he
inquired "What about my birth
day?" On Tuesday his daughters
went to see him carrying birth
day cake, only to find that the hos
pital already had presented him
with lovely one. So he had two
cakes and though he can eat only
small slice he enjoyed his party.
The urge to write history of
Montgomery County seems to have
struck a number of people all at
once. If someone with the time to
dig in and really get an authentic
story beginning with the records
in Annapolis, it would be worth
while project. But the beginnings
we have seen and heard sound like
a re-hash of old man Scharf to us.
Now is the time for Miss Mona
Thompson to produce the history
over which she has toiled for years
reading musty and dusty records
and newspapers to CLEAN the facts.

Health Department

Preparations are being made in

DIR. William F. Wagner, Direct
or, Bureau of tuberculosis Control
for Virginia, visited the Tubercu-
losis Division of Montgomery
County Health Department last
week, to discuss matters concern
ing tuberculosis with DR.. Karl
Welte, Director of the Division for
the County. Cooperation between
adjoining Counties and States is Of
the utmost Importance in the con-
troll of tuberculosis, inasmuch as
patients sometimes travel about
however much the health authori-
ties try to make clear to them the
risk to themselves and others.
