On Successive Niqhts
By The Associated Press


CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va, Feb
26.-Coach AL York has picked two
teams of University of Virginia box
ers to face the ring teams of SYRIA
cuse and Army on successive nights
this week.
Tomorrow nights lineup for the
bouts at Syracuse is studded with
varsity men. The Cavaliers will
enter the ring in this order: Charles
Darlington, 1875 pounds; Grover
Masterson, 100 pounds; Jimmy Mi
ragliotta, 1875 pounds; Basil Mira
gliotta, 145 pounds: Joe Miragliotta,
155 pounds; Harry Bass, 165 pounds;
Ralph Shoaf, ITS pounds, and Jim
Leavitt, heavyweight. Darlington,
Bass and Leavitt are the only re-

Against Army Saturday night at
West Point York plans to send his
punchers out at the usual weights
In this fashion: Allen Hollingsworth,
Hilton Eidelman, John Burch,
Charles Holcomb, George Marx,
Zan Stuart, Boiling lizard and AL
len Smith.
In the second delegation, Hol-
lingsworth is a first stringer and
lizard has boxed regularly at 165
pounds. Burch, Holcomb, Stuart
and Smith have fought in at least
one previous bout earlier this sea-
son. The others will be going into
their first college matches.
Meeting the two teams on sue
cessive nights is the result OF a
mixup that has befouled the
Cavaliers schedule. In five pre-
vous bouts this season they have
won three times and been tied
twice.

"As matter of fact" said the
man who had coached the Ohio
State U. five for "a years, ut is a
marvellous race. It's remarkable
that the teams are so close after
the number Of games they have
played"
Last nights game was nip and
tuck for the first few minutes. The
Caps were leading, 1913, when all
the Stays got hot and the period
ended with Washington trailing,
22-18.
The Caps came within one point
of tying the count in the second
period, which ended with the Stays
ahead, 1882, and actually took a
one-point lead in the third. But
the margin was short-lived. The
Caps trailed by only two points
with five minutes remaining, but
the fast-breaking Stays, paced by
Jim Seminof and Max Zaslofsky
iced the game in the late stage
The Caps Bob Feerick took scoring
honors with a points, while Stan
Miasek got 81 for Chicago and Zas-
lofsky got 20.

United States gym team that COM
peted in the international gym fes-
tival at Frankfurt, Germany. He
got mixed up with the French our
ing the World War and in 1920
coached the French team to second
place in the Interallied games. He
went back to that country, intend
ing to remain a couple Of months
and stayed 10 years. During that
time the French called on MIN to
arrange demonstrations of such
American games as baseball and
basket ball in the 1924 Olympics.
1t seems the rapidity with which
the American soldiers changed over
from soft civilians to hardened
fighters in the war had impressed
the Europeans. Quite sensibly they
decided that the old mass gym
nastics business was all right in
its way but not on par with the
system that developed the rock
'em, sock 'em United States soldiers.
"But anybody who says that was
the first time baseball was played
in Paris doesn't know what he's
talking about" declares Schroeder.
''The game there goes back to the
1890s, when Theodore Roosevelt
tried to encourage 1t and an artist

tempted to organize league among
the Americans over there"
The French took to basket ball
like horse to oats, but baseball
was something else again.
They wanted to organize it along
military lines" he told us. They
decided the pitcher was the most
important man on the team and
therefore should rank above all
others. The catcher was second
most important and deserved the
next highest rate, and so on.
Funny thing, though, neither the
shortstop nor the outfielders were
highly regarded. They looked down
on the shortstop because he got dirt
on his hands scooping up ground
balls and the outfielders didn't rate
because all they did was pick up
balls hit into their territory"
Another odd thing about the
French was their early attitude
toward foot racing. Long ago, when
the class system was in vogue
French trackmen competed under
assumed names. Presumably run
ming was on the same low level az
early American sports writing
something no decent gentleman
would stoop to. Those who did write
about sports carefully concealed their
names under nom de plumes.
French runners adopted the names
Of thoroughbred horses" Schroeder
continued, land to complete the illu-
sion they dressed in jockey suits and
carried small whips. Maybe you
didn't know it, but American athletes
about that time carried pieces OF
cork they squeezed in their fists, but
the French carried whips"
Odd, If true, we murmured.
"It's true, all right" replied
Schroeder. "I recently completed a
10, 0,000-word chapter on sports for
Golfers new encyclopedia and ]
checked it at the Congressional
Library"
Schroeder is scheduled to address
a meeting of recreation directors in
the District next month, and he's
had wide experience in this field.
But If the audience wants to hear
something more interesting we sug-
gest they steer him into some stories
of the old days In sports.

AT UIine's Tonight

Three high-scoring forwards Of
the Indianapolis Capitols will seek
more honors at Uline Arena tonight
when they oppose the Washington
Lions in an American Hockey

Capitols routed Washington, liza.
Simpson presently is runnerup to
Providence's Carl Liscombe in the

while Bruneteau and Lundy also are
numbered among their teams best
bets,
The Lions successive victories
over Hershey and Philadelphia are
due, in large measure, to the round
ing into playing shape of Coach
Jack Riley. Riley set up the win
ming goal for Washington,s Frank
Porteous against Hershey Tuesday,
and assisted on another conversion.
He also tipped in a timely shot
against the Rockets last night in
Philadelphia, and otherwise played
smooth game.
The Rockets started last nights
scoring when Phil Hergesheimer
registered at II seconds of the first
period, but Dan Porteous equalized
1t at 1-all with less than four min
utes remaining.
Riley sent Washington ahead at
al early in the second semester, but
two successive conversions by George
De Felice and another by Herges-
heimer made it AZ for the Rock
cts. However, Washington's George
Hayes retaliated with a goal and
John Carr-Harris made two more
to send the Lions ahead to stay at
the end of the midsemester, 5-4.

japanese fishermen who were res
cued after drifting Is days in their
tiny disabled fishing boat were
brought In to San Francisco this

ed from NIukoshima near Nagasa-

turous journey began.
Food. Water Rationed
At first they managed to eat fish
and carefully rationed out their
meager supply of fresh water, but
soon the fish was zone and by New
Years day their water jug was emp
ty.
They drifted over 500 miles
eouthward from the China Sea into
Tho Pacific.
When finally sighted by the Fleet
wood on Jan. 10. one day out of
Okinawa. four OF the five were un-
conscious. Hoisted onto the deck
bv ropes. the fishermen were gra-
duslly revived first with fruit juices
and later with more solid food. &C.

arrangements for their return to ia
pan, for they expressed their CRATE
tulness, not only for their rescue.

Deputy District Attorney Arthur
II Drew who he's worked on all To-
cal escheat cases. declared he will
await Instructions from Howser be-
fore proceeding with the pending
suits.
Legal opinions locally were that
while the Supreme Court did not
declare the California Alien Land
law unconstitutional, 1t voids the
statute.
The fifteen suits now tied up
in local courts involve some $50
acres of farm land valuing from
S5OO,OOO to S75OOOO in total.
It was reported that about $4,000
were recovered by the state in
settlements, the payments being
made by Nisei whose properties were
under escheat. It was regarded MS
questionable whether those who
have made settlements can legally
recover any of the money
Superior Court Ernest Klettc,
who recently decided three Alien
Land suits In favor of California
today said he Is "inclined TO
think the Supreme Court ruling
will knock out all Of the suits now
pending"
Judge Klette pointed out the high
tribunal. while not declaring the act
unconstitutional. In effect did just
that.
"IG at least makes the Alien Land
law act q nullity," the jurist assert
cd
The Supreme Court ruled that
the rights of an American citizen
Fred Oyama. was violcted: that
bad the Nisei been of any other
race, the so-cnlled gift" from his
alien father would have been bind
ing.
Drew said the evidence In the
Gan Diego case Is not as strong as
hat presented In the cases tried In
fresno, but the pattern of all liti-
cations is the same.
