tifying to the politeness OF sales

Scoring Spree Seen Tomorrow
In Anucostiu- u-Eustern Battle

Eastern's Ramblers have been
worked over by some tough teams
Patterson Park and two college
freshman crews-and they've picked
up a lot Of information about how
basket ball should be played. They
defeated defending champion Cool
;dge last week just to show they're
in this race for the District public
high crown and appear ready to
take on the others and ask no quar-
ter.
Eastern scored IS points against
Dewitt the other day, and it's a
good tall team that can match
stride with Anacostia. Johnny
Brown and Joe Graves are 6-foot-4
boys, and Harry Wharam at 6-2 is
no midget.
The Eastern -Anacostia game, at
8 o'clock, opens the night twin bill
at the Armory, and goes down as
the feature Of tomorrow's four
series games there. The afternoon
doubleheader opens at $3.50 o'clock
with a couple OF old rivals, Tech
and Central, tangling in a game
either could win. That's followed
by Roosevelt Wilson, with Wilson
favored. That game originally was
scheduled for a night tilt, but it's
been traded for the Western
Coolidge game which closes the
night program. Western is the
choice over Coolidge.

The total score of tomorrow
nights Eastern-Anacostia high
school basket ball game at the
Armory probably will be something
amazing. A high school quint
averaging IS points will win lots Of
games, but such a score tomorrow
night likely won't be good for even
a close second. 1t should take so
points or better to win.
Coach Artie Boyd's Indians at
Anacostia have been setting ter
rife scoring pace-such as 66, 81
and 50 points. Only once have
they fallen below so. On the other
hand, they let in many opposition
goals, and Eastern is just the team
to take advantage of that. Both
have plenty of hustle, so tomorrow
nights game probably will be one
of those up-and-down races that
end with the referees staggering
around and the spectators in a
frenzy.
Wally Warner, Dave Migdol and
Harry Lear are some of the Indians
who are compiling an amazing
shooting average. Warner Is well
out in front as the top schoolboy
scorer in this section. Coach Bobby
Hart of Eastern has a scouting re-
port of Anacostia's game last week
that showed the Indians sinking
"a per cent of their shots. An aver
age above 80 per cent is very good
even in professional basket ball.

Hockey Lions Favored
To Topp|e Rockets
Here Tomorrow

Coach Jack Riley's Washington
Lions, impressive, although beaten,
80, by the high-powered Pittsburgh
Hornets at Uline Arena last Tuesday
night, will be favored to end their
losing streak at seven consecutive
matches tomorrow night when they
entertain the Philadelphia Rockets
in an American Hockey League game
at $3.50.
The Lions actually outskated and
outplayed the Hornets before losing
on a freak goal in the last minute
of play. They were enjoying a 20
lead at the end Of the second period,
and Pittsburghs first goal early in
the final stanza was registered while
Washington was skating a man
short.
Kenney Schultz, the Lions bril-
liant center who has been missing
from Washington last two matches
with a sprained wrist that at first
was believed to. be broken, returns
to the firing line tomorrow night.
Walter Babey, the Lions speedy de-
fenseman, had the caste removed
from his fractured thumb yesterday,
but will hardly be available before
early next week.
The Lions have won two Of three
matches from the rugged Rockets,
and believe they will be at the top
of their game tomorrow night.

Barred Negro Golf Pros
Threaten to Fiqht PGA

RICHMOND, Calf, Jan. Is R.-
Two Negro golf pros, barred by the
PGA from the $4,000 Richmond
Open, threatened to report at the
first tee for today's opening round
and force the issue.
Bill Spiller and Ted Rhodes, Los
Angeles Negro pros who competed
in the recent $4,000 Los Angeles
Open, said they hoped the PGA
would reconsider its ruling that only
Caucasians may enter tournaments
it controls. The PGA did not have
such control of the Los Angeles
event.
Attorney John Rowell said he con-
templated court action against the
PGA for barring the Negroes. He
said the suit, If filed, would seek
damages on the grounds the PGA
ruling deprives the golfers Of an

GuIfstream Cap Gives
Armed Chance at Top
Money-Winning Spot
By the A,,oeio,.d Pres,

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 15.-Armed,
heir apparent to Stymie's money
winning title, makes his first serious
bid of the year today when he goes
in the IN mile $4,000 Gulfstream
Park Handicap, closing feature at
the seaside oval.
Eight thoroughbreds were named
overnight for the closing event, but
three also were entered in the $4,500
seventh race, indicating that four
or fewer horses may challenge the
Calumet star.
II all go postward. the winner will
get $20,650 and If Armed flashes
home first, it will bring his total
earnings to $784, $50, approximately
$31, 900 less than Stymie's winnings.
Armed will be asked to carry 100
pounds, including Jockey Doug Dod-
son. Others named to oppose the
Calumet gelding, their weights and
jockeys are:
Incline, ito, no boy; Wide Wing,
109, r. j. Martin; Bug Juice. 108,
Conn McCreary; Rampant, 108, no
boy; Respingo, 10S, J. Stout; Eb,
106, L. M. Jones, and Sublime, 104,
F. A. Smith.
Incline. Respingo and Sublime
also were entered in the seventh
race.
Armed set a new track record at
2:014s last year in winning the event
over his stablemate, Pot O. Luck.
In his first outing this year Armed
picked up $4,000 by winning a 6-fur-
long dash at Gulfstream on January
2. He also is entered in the $25, 900
McLennan and $4,000 Widener at
Hialeah later in the season.
A crowd Of about 16, 600 Is expected
for the closing day at Gulfstream,
with wagering likely to exceed $780,
600 and give the track a daily aver
age of well above $630, 900 for the
38-day meeting.
Two days of the 40-day schedule
were lost at the start of the meeting
when horsemen struck over the size
Of minimum purses, which were
upped from $4,000 to $2,400.
As Gulfstream closes, the spotlight
swings to picturesque Hialeah Park,
which opens its 40-day season to-
morrow with the $4,000 Inaugural
Handicap, to be run at 6 furlongs.

through the zone defense with COM
parative ease and roll up a $500
halftime lead. Several times in the
second half the Eagles pulled to
within seven points, but late in the
game the Marines poured 1t on.
Sam Jaskilka, the ex-All-New
England forward for the University

Center Cy Waldrop contributed
heavily to the Marines first half
lead, and 1t was with regret that
the Marines announced Jasklika

Conference teams thought they had
Jim Lacy bottled up for the season
(bottling up Lacy means holding
him to II or IL points a game) the
Loyola of Baltimore sharp-shooter
came through with % points against
Catholic University last night to
soar among the scoring leaders.
Lacy played less than 80 minutes
but held a hot hand and in addition
to tossing in eight field goals and
six fouls, he helped Mike Zedalis
and the other Loyola scorers by
accurate passing and smooth ball
handling. Loyola trimmed G. u,
u to so.
Beaten only once by a Conference
team in regular season or tour
nament play in the last two years,
Loyola is just too good for the rest
OF the Mason-Dixon teams. The
Baltimoreans were 10 points ahead
at the half and Coach Lefty Reitz
used Is players and 10 of them
scored. G. us big four. George

Herfzberg' S Late Aid
Sparks CapitoIs 10
Victory Over Stags
by Bill Fuchs

Sidney Sonny Hertzberg, a little
guy at s feet In pro basket ball, is
proving he is the most valuable ad-
dition made on the Washington
Caps roster this year. Hertzberg,
who didn't join the local squad until
December 10, put the Caps over the
hump in their 1857 victory over
Chicago last night at Uline Arena.
The former New York Knicker-
booker player isn't another Bob
Feerick or Bones Mckinney. He
seldom win walk of with high
scoring fonors in a game. But
he can enter the game when the
chips seem low and give the Caps
that needed shot in the arm.
Hertzberg scored 13 points last
night in the last period to help the
Caps to their second victory over
the team which pushed them out
of the playoffs last season.
Stag Lead Overcome.
Things weren't going too well for
the local club until Hertzberg's ap-
pearance. At the start of the final
period, the Stays led, 49-46, but by
the time Hertzberg threw in four
field goals and John Norlander,
Mckinney and Irv Torgoff each con-
tributed one along with foul shot
by Mckinney, the Caps led, 61-55.
1t was all over but the shouting and
there was plenty Of that coming
from the 3,251 fans who braved the
cold to attend.
Last night wasn't the first time
Hertzberg proved himself a great
player in the pinches. His timely
shooting helped the Caps to de-
cisive win over the Boston Celtics
early this month and he teamed
with Freddie Scolari to put in Is of
the Caps 20 points in the five-min-
ute overtime period last Saturday
night against Philadelphia.
Stays Get Slow Start.
The Stays staggered miserably
In the opening minutes last night.
Gene Vance threw In q field goal
-Chicago's flrst-when the game
was 11h minutes old, but baskets
from the foul line kept the visitors
in the contest and when the period
ended, Washington led, 1873.
Chicago pulled to 1892 ad-
vantage at half time with Stan
Miasek living up to his press notices.
Miasek took high-scoring honors
with 81 points. while Mckinney
led the Caps with 20.
BY virtue of their win last night
the Caps now are only two and one
half games behind the front-run-
ming Stays in the Western Division
Basket Ball Association standings.

New Fight Begun
To Save Forests
Interior Department Will
Oppose Taking Slice
From Olympic Park.

WASHINGTON.-The department
of the interior will oppose bills pend
ing in congress that would take
S 1000 acres for numbering purposes
out of the great forests of virgin
Douglas fir and Sitk pine in Olympic
National park, Washington, the
emergency conservation committee
announced.
Making public a letter from As
sistant Secretary c. Girard David
son, the committee said the opposi-
ton of the department was a rever-
sal of its former position. The COM
mittee congratulated the depart
ment on its stand Sin defense of the
peoples property, of which it is the
custodian" but warned c~onserva-
tionists that ''the pressure of the
lumber interests is mighty-there is
a hard fight ahead if the forests of
the Olympic park r to be saved"
The move to carve out Sc, 0G0 acres
has been regarded by conservation
groups as only a first step to taking
300, 900 acres from the 1896, 292 acre
park, where trees tower 300 feet and
attain a diameter of II feet. Lumber
and sawmill interests contend the
