their season against Denver Uni
versity tonight at 8::45 in the first
court attraction slated for the new
National Guard Armory. A fresh
man preliminary will start at tbs.
The Hoyas have played at River
side, Uline's, Catholic U. and various
high school gyms with varied finan-
cial luck. Tonight's game was sup
ported to be part Of a double
header but that was before it was
discovered the Armory had insult
ficient exists and thus the Hoyas
and George Washington will play
single games in the 4,825-capacity
building.
The Armory is located at Goth
and East Capitol streets and may
be reached by the Lincoln Park
streetcar and bus connection for
the several blocks from the end of
the line. Ample parking space is
available. Everything is set but the
glass backboards which will be there
late this week.

Coach Ellison Ketchum will start
Jack Hauser, high scorer last year
with 1877 average; Bill Weimar,
Paul Hickey, Roy Nelson and Ken
Jastrow. The Pioneers are on

Joseph's in Philadelphia.
Georgetown will start Ray Corley,
Danny Kraus, Andy Kostecka, Ed
Brembs and Ken Brown, all famil-

potentially fine players. Brown did
not start in the early part of the
season last year, but finished as the

Rhodes Is Named AAU
Head; Track Meet
Plans Revised
BY the Asseeiofed Press

OMAHA. Dec. James A.
Rhodes, the 37-year-old second
term Mayor Of Columbus, Ohio, who
has been working in youth move
ments for a good number of years,
today headed the National Amateur
Athletic Union with a plan to bring
athletic competition to more UNDER
privileged youth heading his agenda.
Rhodes was elected unanimously
yesterday as the annual AAU con-
vention closed here. On Saturday
night he had won over Willard N.
Greim Of Denver, who sought a
fourth term at the head of the big
amateur sports organization.
Organizer of the national caddie
golf tourney and the first national
Junior softball meet, Rhodes said,
I'VE cannot deviate from the ideals
Of the AAU, but we can expand"
He explained he wanted to ex-
pand AAU work in the field of
youth, particularly the under priv
neged, doing this as a supplement
to the present broad program of the
nnion.
Secondly, Rhodes said, he wanted
TO see expansion Of the public re-
1ations program of the union to
bring its aims before more people.
Long In AAU Service.
But, he added, he plans mo revo-
Mtion," continuing that the fight
between himself and Greim for the
presidency was not a youth versus
age matter as some delegates ap-
peared to regard it.
Rhodes pointed out that he had
served five years as AAU first vice
president, six years as Ohio AAU
president and seven years as Metro
politan Columbus AAU head.
Moved up with Rhodes in the
officer shuttle was John ]. Sheehan
OF Dorchester, Mass, who went from
fourth to first vice president.
Three new officers were elected
Charles Roeser, Lansdowne, Pa,
second vice president; DR.. B. j.
Barrodale, Houma, La, third vice
president, and Fred Beitz, Highland
Park, Calf, fourth vice president.
The convention awarded the 1948
meeting to New York City on De-
cember 2, 3. 4, and S. The other
bidder was Daytona Beach, Fla.
Following considerable committee
debate, the convention withheld
action on suggestion that foreign
athletes be barred from competing
in the United States national AAU
championships pending mail sur
vey of all regional associations on
their views.
Relays Are Eliminated.
Action in track and field included
approval of recommendation that
the relays be eliminated as a regu-
lar part Of the outdoor program,
and that the low hurdles be elm
mated in indoor competition.
Also approved was recommends
ton that senior time trials in the
outdoor championships be held on
the first day in conjunction with the
Junior events. This cuts the second
day program to senior semifinals
and finals only.
The action of the basket ball
committee in rejecting a proposal
that the college varsity players be
barred from AAU Journeys during
their varsity careers was upheld by
the convention. Approval also was
given to the playing of all college
AAU and YMCA games under a
single set of rules.

Rock" was coaching then. No
wonder we feel so happy and so
proud Of this years Notre Dame
team.
The Notre Dame team that
swept the hard-fighting Trojans
before them was the greatest
college football aggregation we
have ever seen. It was a team
sure Of itself, quietly so, we
might add, and sparked by as
great a field general and passer
as any coach ever had the pleas
ure Of directing. Johnny Lujack
was all of that.
Lujack, playing his final game
for Notre Dame, WIS superb. If
he ever made a mistake it was
in lacing his shoes, and they
looked all right to us after the
game. So were Connor, who
played the finest game of his
brilliant career; Czarobski, Fisch-
er, Walsh, Sitko, Livingston and
all the rest who performed bril-
liantly as team, as well as in
dividuaily. We were proud to be
their coach.
1t is too bad Notre Dame and
Michigan are not scheduled to
meet this year. That might have
been quite ball game. The size

Caps, Refreshed, Next
Take on Bullets

The Washington Capitols, re-
freshed by an eight-day rest, will
return to Basket Ball Association
Of America competition Thursday
night when they take on the Bal
timore Bullets in Baltimore.
The lay-off may be just the
tonic necessary to push the Caps
to top position in the standings
again, the spot they dominated in
last years race. Basket ball is a
bruising game and sometimes leaves
the players well battered from too
much contact with other players
and the floor.
Such has been the case with some
OF the Caps, particularly Freddie
Scolari.' .Scolari, who has earned a
reputation as one of the hardest
players in the business, received
some rough treatment in the opener
with the Bullets and the rest is
giving him chance to get back
in condition.
Since losing to the Caps in the
opener, the Bullets have been set
ting a hot pace. They lost their
last two games, but previously hao

Big John Mahnken, the Caps

text tells us that He is the Christ, the

Pastor Hartner concluded: "More
than we need anything else in our
nation or in our church today we need
Gods blessing. And it might be well
to spend a little time thinking about

a man turns his back to Cod and
doesn't want to have anything to do
with Gods Word and the Christ
whom He has sent to save men, such
a man would be foolish to expect God
to bless him. There are hundreds of
Bible passages which tell us that God
delights to shower blessings upon His

true to the magnetic call of the text
to give all prominence to the cross
Of our Lord, they be assured that the

lights to give TO all that honor His

Someone has called this an unspank-
ed generation. The question arises as
to whether we do not do too little
spanking. Anyhow it is a fact that cu-
boys and girls seem to be getting the
upperhand. Child delinquency Is caus-
ing headaches all over the country.
is the remedy? Everyone seems to
know the cause Of delinquency, but
few outside the pale of the Christian
church seem to agree as to the remedy.
The Holy Bible gives a very clear
cut solution. 1t says: He that spareth
the rod hateth his son; but he that
love,h him chasteneth him betimes.a
Again: These words which / com
mand thee this dayy shall be in thine
heart; and thou shalt teach them dill
gently upto thy children and shalt
talk of them when thou sittest in thin
house. and when thou walkest by the
way, and when thou lest down, and
when thou raised up" Whenever thi;
command is carried out there is little
or no delinquency. Education aimed
at the head alone will ever have some
thing wrong with it. Watch out for
the man who is trained in intellect, bu;
moi in morals.
Hope Lutheran conducts a Sunday
School which is well equipped to train
