University of Maryland's Cater

The next eleven will be practically

as personnel is concerned. Gradua-

nearly everybody back with a years

Powerful Caps Crush
reltics, $3.50; Crowd
OF 1889 Views Rout
By Bill Fuchs

Unleashing a power Laden attack
which bafaed the usually high
scoring Boston Celtics and amazed
3,s39 fans, the Washington Capitols
smothered the Boston Celtics, 95-
go, last night at Uline Arena.
The crowd, the biggest for the
Basketball Association season at
Uline this year, howled with delight
rs the Caps outplayed, outpassed
and outfought the visitors to regis
ter the most decisive margin of VIC
tory for the locals this season. The
Caps had beaten the st. Louis
Bombers by 20 points but last nights
game made that runaway seem like
o rough battle.
Bones Mckinney dropped in four
points, Bob Ferriek threw in two
and Johnny Norlander contributed
one to give the Caps a TO lead
before Boston's Eddie Ehlers threw
In a foul shot at $40 of the initial
quarter.
Big Ed Sadowski, the 6-foot 7-inch
giant, who has 'been throwing them
in at 21-point per game average
to rank second behind Philadelphia's
Joe Fulks in the league scoring race,
couldn't buy point. Johnny
Mafnken, who played superb game
under the blackboard, and Bob Fer
rick blocked OF Sadowski like a
granite wall, and the 250-pounder
center left the game without field
goal.
McKinney's terrific Jump shoot
Ing and clown-like antics, and the
all-around passing and shooting of
the Caps entire team, kept the
crowd pleased. The first period
ended with the Caps out in front,
21-13. Over that span the Celtics,
who had trounced the Caps, 1859
and 92-83, in two previous starts,
were held to three field goals.
The second period was just as
one-sided with both teams doubling
their first quarter scores. Six min
utes and 10 seconds of this frame
elapsed before Jack Hewson threw
in two foul shots to give the Celtics
their first points of the period.

Crawford DisIikes Ring Game.
But He's Quick Success in 1t

Blond, handsome Jackie Crawford
OF Washington is in the boxing head
lines these days. They're talking
about him as a likely prospect for
heavyweight championship honors-
and the heavyweight situation is
such that 1t isn't too far fetched to
imagine that Jackie might make it.
New York ring critics are ha1ling
him as the new Gene Tunney' now,
after the manner in which he chilled
Bernie Reynolds at Madison Square
Garden. They're writing about his
speed. his ring savvy, his left hook
and jab. All of which is nothing
new to Washington ring fans who
have seen Jackie in action many
times here and who like him and
his prospects very much.
Jackie-who was born in Macon,
Ca, and moved here when a young
ster-is %, weighs around 1S5. He
is married and the father of boy
and girl. Right now they're living
at Hillcrest. He has all the equip
ment for a fighter-good legs, a lean
but solidly built body, broad shoul-
ders and strong arms.
The comparison to Gene Tunney
Is not far fetched. Jackie's left jab
Is a beauty, same as Tunney's, but
he also has left hook that packs
murder. He's sharp with right
cross, too, and he's exceptionally
fast and smart.
He does practically all his train
ing here at Billy Edwards gym
above the Florida Avenue market.
Billy trains him against middle
weights-such boys as Bee Bee
Washington and Kid Wolfe-to keep
him fast and sharp.
Oddly, Jackie dislikes the fight
game. He's in it strictly for what
he can get out of it. He can make
