Central and Roosevelt
|Favorites in Opening
|0f High PIayoif !
By George Huber

The four top teams from the Dis
trict public high basket ball series
open their short title tournament
tonight at the Armory. Central,
which ended the round-robin sched-
ule on top with 6-1 record, takes
on Eastern at 8 o'clock, followed by
Roosevelt, the second-place club,
with a So figure, against Wilson.
Winners tonight tangle tomorrow
night for the title. Tonight's two
winners also will represent the Dis
trict In The Evening Stars Metro
politan tournament starting next
Tuesday at the University Of Mary
land.
Past performances make Central
and Roosevelt favorites tonight. The
vikings handed Eastern Its worst
setback Of the series, 1923, during
the series, while Roosevelt came
home q narrow 1881 winner over
Wilson.
Rivals Well Matched.
Despite the wide scoring margin
In their last game, Central and
Eastern have well-matched teams.
Both are tall and fast, with scoring
power not concentrated in any one
player. Central's most consistent
point getters are Jim Pantos and
Hal SPONSOR, but also dangerous
are the three other starters-Bob
Johnson, Ross Keith and Franny
Gleason. Eastern's probable starters
are Johnny Brown, Francis Wes-
ley, Spike Barouth, Harry Wharam
and Sal Di Giorgi. OF these, Brown
and Wesley are the leading scorers
and also defensive standouts with
their rebound sharing ability.
Little boys stand out in both the
Roosevelt and Wilson lineup. Billy
Hibbs Of the Rough Riders and Mole
Janigian Of the Tigers showed
throughout the series that their
short statue is no handicap. Wilson
does have. one good tall boy IN the
lineup in Jack Whitcomb, who has
developed lately into a really potent
scorer. Other likely starters for the
Tigers are George Pappafotis, Don
Snider and Bob Carter, while Roose-
welt will use Billy Paugh, Warren
Siegel, Bob zamsky and Bob john
son In addition to Hibbs.
Big Prince Georges Game.
Another important game on to-
nights program is the Prince Geor-
ges County clash between Bladens-
burg and Hyattsville at Richie
Coliseum, University Of Maryland.
It's the feature of "all-Bladensburg
night" there. Also listed tonight is
Lane of Charlottesville playing at
Washington-Lee. The Generals, al
ready entered in The Star tourney
next week, will be seeking revenge
for an earlier setback by Lane.
st. Johns and Gonzaga, also en-
trants in next weeks Metropolitan
tourney, won yesterday by handy
margins. The Johnnies trounced
st. Paul's, 1923, for their 10th
straight victory and their 23d In "a
games this season. Coach joey
Gallagher used every player on the
squad, with Center Tommy Fannon
scoring IA points to set the pace.
Mike Nolan's II points were best
for the Eagles as they topped Char
lotte Hall, $3.50, for the second time
this season. The Eagles were ahead
31-12 at the half and coasted home.

Paris Shining Skirts
For Late Summer

NEW YORK-Paris, the nerve
center of the fashion industry,
has begun to slim down the long
skirts and coypcat New York,
along with the rest of the coun-
try, will soon take the cue.
Having reached the saturation
point on the full, billowy skirts
with tremendous yardage (some
skirts have been made up with
IA yards), Paris designers are
a little sick of their creation.
They've started now to work in
reverse by pairing down the ex-
aggerated skirt to reasonable
flowingness. More over, they're
highlighting the pencil slim ones
for the bridge between seasons
summer into fall-and these will
be quickly picked up by women
who aim to be the first with a
new trend.
With the severe skirt, design
ers Schiaparelli, jacques Fatn
and Balmain have fashioned bill
lowy sleeved jackets-the direct
counterpart Of the prevailing
costume.
Though Paris is fed up with
wide skirts, New York, slow to
re react, will continue through
the summer to wear them pro-
fusely. 1t will be. fall and early
winter before we get down to
the slender mode. Meanwhile, up
and down the towns smart but

swaying, giving grace and ele-

Polio Exhibit Open

A new public education often
sive in the fight against infantile
paralysis was opened with the
completion of a polio exhibit at
the Museum Of Science and In
dustry in Chicago. Developed and
built by the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis and it's
Cook County chapter for the Mu-
scum, the exhibit will give the
public a basic understanding of
virus disease in general, specific
information on the various types
of polio, it's effects, treatment and
a review of what the Foundation
is achieving in it's efforts to
stamp out the dreaded disease.
With the beginning Of summer and
the fears of polio it brings to
parents, the exhibits opening is
especially timely.
The first such installation to
be made anywhere in the country,
the polio exhibit is another step
in the new health sciences pro-
gram of the Museum and its Ell
forts to familiarize the public
with current important medical
problems.
Using the most advanced ideas
in display techniques, including
visitor operation, the exhibit ut
