The state of WashingIon-S new
speaker of the house will bring
to his office the same studious,
level-headed qualities that have
always governed his actions. That
prediction came this week from
his mother - Mrs. William Hold
de, remedial reading teacher for
the Kennewick elementary schools.
She recalls that her son, Char
les w. Hodde, of Colville, read
history and non-fiction during his
boyhood and early youth in pre-
ference to fiction. He was never
a talkative boy, and approached
his assignments with such SER
iousness that he completed his
four, year high school course in
three years, graduating with hon.
orS.
During his schooling, the farni-
ly lived On a farm near Golden
City, Missouri. His father was a
salesman, and was often away
from home, SO the boy was made
responsible for the morning and
dvening chores. Travelling five
miles to and from school, he kept
UP his work at home in addition
to his studies and many school
activities.
Hodde came TO the northwest at

Wilkinson Conceded
Inside Track on Job
As Yale Grid Coach
Nv the Associoted Press i.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. 26.-
The latest candidate reported as
having the inside track" for the
vacant football coaching job at Yale
is Charles (Bud Wilkinson, coach
at Oklahoma University.
At Oklahoma City, DR.. George L.
Cross, Oklahoma president, said last
night:
"It is my understanding that Bud
has been offered the job
The Daily Oklahoman was more
specific. 1t said an unidentified
member of the Yale Alumni Board
had told Wilkinson:
"If you want the job, it's yours.
We will recommend you to the
school and the recommendation
will be accepted"
Edwin F. Blair, chairman Of the
Yale Graduate Football Committee,
declined to confirm or deny that
the Sooner coach had been offered
the post left vacant by Howie
Odell's departure for the Univer-
sity of Washington. Said Blair:
"All I can say is, No comment
The Daily Okiahoman said Will
kinson had been offered a 5-year
contract with many concessions. .
The coach himself did not deny the
report, but said he planned no trip
East to confer with Yale officials.
The report that wilkinson now is
the favored candidate came shortly
after Norman j. Daniels of Wes-
|leyan became the third football
coach to express himself as un-
willing to take the Yale job.
The Yale situation puts a new
light on Walter Driskill's visit to
the University of Oklahoma. The
University of Maryland line coach
went to Oklahoma for a confer
ence on the assistant coach job, but
if Wilkinson leaves, Driskill will be-
come candidate to succeed him.

Winqo, Matthews Are Rated
OLYMPIC Material by Griffith

AS for the others, they may have
been unlucky in the draw for pole
positions, which often decides the
winners at New York. On the
Gardens narrow, 11-lap track, races
up to 1000 yards are set up at the
first curve. In crowded heats good
man may, be showed back and find
himself to 10 yards behind after
the field has Strengthened out on the
back stretch. Such a handicap is a
heavy load in championship COM
petition when yard or two is the
only difference in the ability of each
man. The luck of the draw and a
good start can win or lose a race
at the Garden.
Hope for Raised Track.
The Evening Star Games Com
mittee hopes eventually to have a
15-foot raised board track measuring
8 laps to the mile for the games
at Washington's new Armory. Such
track would be the fastest indoor
running strip in the world. Even
with no banks there wasn't a spill
in the meet held last month. The
15-foot width gave the boys plenty
of elbow room on the turns and
found favor with both runners and
their coaches. When the new track
is available The Star officials hope
to bring the national indoor cham
pionships to Washington where ath-
letes will be able to open up and
establish new world records.
But keep your eye on Wingo and
Matthews Saturday night in the
Southern Conference title meet. 1t
may mark the start of their bids for
Olympic team berthS.

Hoyas, Facing Three
More Foes, Hope for
|. 500 Season Mark

Considering that they're playing
probably the toughest basket ball
schedule in the country and that
they lost their star player before
the season was half over. a 500 rec
ord would be respectable finish
for the Georgetown University court
men-and that's their latest target.
After last nights 64-46 triumph
over highly-rated Villanova, the
Hoyas are three games below an
even break. But If they can con-
tinue the brand of ball played
against George Washington and the
Wildcats they could sweep the next
three to make it 14-all for the
season.
Rest of Games on Road.
The Hoyas are through at home
but meet Penn State, Villanova and
Boston College on the road. In a
previous meeting with an under-par
Penn State team, the Hoyas were
two points ahead and had possess
sion of the ball with 80 seconds to
play, but lost. They are good enough
to win a return game, however.
Coach Elmer Ripley's club appeared
good enough last night to beat Viii
lanova again, and in the charity
game against Boston College in New
York, the Hoyas will be at least an
even choice.
Villanova's all-sophomore outfit
looked little like the team that ran
UP 98 points in beating Rhode Island
State or the one that knocked Seton
Hall out Of a probable postseason
bid. The Hoyas bottled up all but
Paul Arizen and won with the re-
serves in control after rolling up Q
35-14 halftime lead.
So Kraus in Last Game.
Danny Kraus played his last home
game for the Hoyas and tossed in
IL points in addition to some smart
ball handling and an exceptionally
fine game defensively. It was the
off -again, on-again Ray Corley who
took over the scoring leadership for
the Hoyas after being held to lone
point against George Washington.
Corley tipped in eight field goals
and two fouls for 18 points and was
all over the court.
Ken Brown gave the taller Viii
lanova courtmen a rough evening
off the backboards as the scrappy
Hoya center retrieved the rebounds
time and again.
The Hoya frosh had another close
game with the American U. Jayvees,
but won, SAT-. The Hoyas won the
first meeting by two points.

tough road ahead the
Washington Caps-dropped into
third place-will be grasping for q
victory over the Bullets tonight In
Baltimore. The Caps, who were
leading the Western Division of the
BBA yesterday. are two notches
lower today after losing a 1856
encounter with the Chicago Stays.
The Caps are only a half a game
behind the Stays and the st. Louis
Bombers, but the chips are stacked
against them. Bones Mckinney
said last night he doesn't know
when he'll be able to play. His
ankle still is swollen and painful.
John Mahnken is playing with a
back injury which makes the big,
aggressive ball handler just an
other man on the court.
The Caps have only 10 games re-
manning as compared to II for the
Bombers and the Stays. Washing
ton plays each of its tough Western
Division rivals twice and the East
ern Division leading New York
knickerbockers twice. They have
only two breathers in Boston and
Providence and six of their re-
naming games are on the road.
The Caps were a .dejected-look-
ing group of players after losing
to the Stays last night. Their one
time air of confidence had been
replaced by gloom. 1t was evident
that the Caps couldn't see any,
thing bright about the future.

it an unpredictable team that
could get blazing hot and give
the Johnnies trouble-or the
Generals might even find their
initial tourney competition too
much and bow out early. No real
individual stars have been devel-
oped, although Hook Zimmerman
has been playing consistently
well. He's a tall boy who spe-
cializes in pivot and hook shots.
The Generals also have a nice
little guard and set-shot artist
in Van Duley, but several others
have exceeded these two in scor-
ing in past games this year.

ord against exceptionally tough
competition, against the Prince

Matthews Changes Distance.
Matthews has competed mostly
over the 88O-yard route this winter
as a member of the Terps' 2-mlle
relay team. But last Saturday ne
dropped down to the 440 and literally
ran away from Navy's Jim Garibaldl,
who has gone the distance in 48 sec
onds himself. Matthews runs his
races to win and lets the time take
care of itself. He has a terriffic
finishing kick, one mark of a great
runner. Ed also is fact enough to
run a respectable 220, so with his
natural speed and over-dlstance
work this winter he should be hitting
the tape in record. or near-record
time. in the 440 this spring.
Although Reginald Pearman, as

do with it. Jerome Connolly, winner
