Caps and Bullets Open
Cage League Season
AT UIine's Tonight
By Bill Fuchs

"Better than last years teaml''
That's the way the Washington
Capitols, from Coach Fed Auerbach
down to the man who initiates the
basket balls, describe this years
ouint, which opens Basket Ball As
sociation of America play against
the Baltimore Bullets tonight at
Uline Arena.
There's a reason for such opti-
mism, for although the Caps were
good last year-they won 40 out
of go league games-they were weak
in reserve strength, a weakness that
shouldn't show up in this years
squad.
The addition Of three important
men, Jack Tingle, Dick O'Keefe
and Irwin Rothenberg. should pre-
vent the Caps from begging down
late in the season, as they did last
year IN the playoffs with the Chi
cago Stays.
O'Keefe Resembles Feerick. +
OKeefe, who was spotted by Capt.
Bob Feerick at Santa Clara Uni
versity, resembles his discoverer on
the floor. A capable ball handler,
the 6-foot Pinch O'Keefe also uses
the one-handed Western style of
set shooting, ard uses'it with deadly
accuracy.
Tbngle, another one handed
shooter, was a sensational forward
with the University of Kentucky last
wear, while Rothenberg, a 6-foot-9-
inch former center with the now
defunct Cleveland Rebels last year
will give the Caps the additional
height they lacked last season.
Rothenberg, incidentally, says he
hasn't grown an inch since he was
IS years old. IT don't remember
when I began shooting up," he says
II guess I was born tall"
The Caps have six men back from
last year. Besides Feerick, Freddie
Scolari, John Mahnken, Bones Nc
Kinney, John Norlander and Irv
Torgoff will launch their second year
with the Caps tonight.
Many Baltimore fans are expected
to be on hand for this first inter-
city battle. The Bullets, who ran
away with the American League
race last year, repeatedly challenged
the Caps to exhibition play, but
league rules compelled the locals to
turn thumbs down on the PROPOSE
ton.
Jeanette Heads Bullets.
Player Coach Buddy Jeannette, one
of the fastest and trickiest pros In
the business, will head a team COM
posed of Mike Bloom, Chick Reiser,
Dick Shulz, Paul Hoffman, Cleggie
Hermsen, Jerry Rullo, Herman
Feutsch, Elmer Gamer and Carl
Meinhold.
Individual player experience
ranges from the nine years of
Jeannette and Bloom to Hoffman
and Meinhold. who are making their
debuts tonight.
Tonight's activities get under way
with a preliminary at tbs between
the Washington Cliftons and the
Carlisle Indians. The Indians will
put on a half-tine show with the
aid of the Montgomery-Blair High

scar from his lucrative ring career
and will not only be the principal
angel" of the producing company
but also will have prominent acting
part. The script already has been
prepared and has been titled tenta-
lively mi Mejor Pelea" or MY Best
Fight"
Firpo's own "best fight" was in
1923 when he knocked Jack Demp-
sey out of the ring only to lose by a
knockout in the second round. How
ever, the film will not be based on
that encounter. Firpo will play
himself as he is today-a rich cattle
rancher. The story portrays him as
the ring mentor for one of his farm
poems.
To take advantage of the summer
weather, the company will start
shooting in January, using one of
five ranches which Firpo has bought
since 1880 ana on which he has
multiplied tenfold the money I
took out of the United States"
The black-haired giant said he
hoped to have the picture finished
by May. He added that If the film
Is successful he would continue in
the movie business, but only as a

the plaque they gave him for
playing football at Iowa"
He delved into drawer, dug
under some papers and came up
with the bronze plaque record
ing the Hawkeyes' 60 victory over
Yale in 1922. 1t was a historical
occasion in collegiate football,
for Iowa was the first Western
team to play in the Els bowl,
and was coached by Howard
Jones, whose brother, Tad Jones,
coached Yale.
He'll be back in a minute"
said Long. "Ask him about the
time they beat Notre Dame.
Prying information out OF him
is like asking a little-neck clam
to recite the Declaration OF in

Long pooh-poohed that idea:

he said land he was good. They
tell me Jones addressed Gordon
personally only once all the time
he was at Iowa. That was after
the final game of his senior year
when he shook his hand and said
Gordon was the greatest back
that ever played for him.
Locke agreed Jones was eco
nomical with the kings English.
No pep talks before the game or
between halves. The first time
he tried one Iowa lost to Illinois,
ending a winning streak and its
two-year domination of the Big

its might. Especially since as
sundry incidents indicated the
Nazi fifth column" had penetrat-
ed the officer corps. Things never
came to a test. BY a mixture of
sagacity, craftsmanship, and OPP
portunism, the Swedes came
through unhurt, save for occa-
sional twinges of conscience.
The end of the war did not end
the suffering it caused, and today
the Swedes are more bothered by
their conscience even than they
were in wartime. This, far from
being a criticism, is a tribute to
their humaneness. Theirs is the
uneasy feeling of the man who
lives in plenty when his neigh
hors are in desperate want. With
commendable generosity they are
doing their full share to aid the
destitute and speed recovery.
They have retained the wartime
rationing of food, partly to build
up stocks for relief shipments, but
also because, as one Swede ex-
planned "it would not look well if
food in Sweden were unrationed
when other countries are so
short"
This same conscience helps ex-
plain why the Riksdag ratified the
Swedish-Soviet Trade Agreement
with hardly a dissenting murmur,
even though Minister of Trade
Myrdal, who sponsored til
agreement as a sound long term
investment. predicted it might in
yolve a short term lowering of
living standards.
The key TO Swedish foreign
policy in this and other matters is
partly Sweden's fear of again be-
coming neutral ground between
rival world blocs. AS deeply per-
haps as any other small European
country they are interested in the
preservation of the peace. They
want no division between East
and West which would leave them
sitting on razor edge. They are
anxious for the best relations with
all, including h ei r powerful
Soviet neighbor, and view the
SwedishSoviet Trade Agreement
as a substantial contribution to
this end
