Louis Slower on Feet,

Exhibition Foe Says

BALTIMORE, Feb. l0.-Leo Ma
tricciani-who should know-says
Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis
may be q little slower on his feet
than few years ago "but you
can't say that Of his body or his
punches" -
Leo. q Baltimore heavyweight,
boxed four rounds with Louis in Q
Ino-decision four-round exhibition
before 5000 fans here last night.
He went the same distance under
the same conditions against the.
Brown Bomber in 1914, when they
both were soldiers In England.
Leo said that Joe hit me pretty
hard" few times and that he
had been hurt by punch to the
abdomen In last nights bout.
Joe's weight was announced at
220. He had q roll Of fat around
his girth and ringsiders thought his
poundage should have been an
nounced at somewhere between 22s
and $50.
He stalked Matricciani, 20S, all
the way, but threw few punches.
Matricciani tried hard and struck
out time and again, but did not sue
coed In hurting the champion.
Most. Of the action came in the
third round, after Joe was stung on
the nose by two jabS. Louis let
loose a sharp left and followed it
with right jab that made the %
year-old Baltimorean cover up.
Late in the final round Louis
opened up again and was banging
away with both hands, but the bell
came before there was any damage.
It was Louis last ring appear
ance in the United States before
sailing for England on February
10, where he will engage in ex-
hibitions preparatory to q title de-
tense against Jersey Joe Walcott
next summer.
Louis reiterated last night the
"d1COtt AISAAt WAh NJ AAao AncV-
win, lose or draw"
In speaking Of the narrow squeak
he had when he fought Walcott
last year, Louis said:
II only made one mistake. I
dried out too much. "I'll be much
heavier next time Che weighed 213
in the first encounter)-and when
I chase him, I'll catch him. Il
didn't feel strong in that fight.
I'm definitely going to stop him
this time"
He had this comment on the
backing up and sidestepping by
Walcott in the New York fight:
IF there hadn't been any ropes,
Walcott would have probably END
ed up in Newark, N. j."
He asked reporters if Walcott had
signed for the rematch yet, and
then added as an after thought:

Masferson' S Outline
As Nebraska Coach
Laid 10 Pressure

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 10.-Bernie
Masterson has resigned as Nebraska
football coach after what University
Chancellor r. G. Gustavson called
pressure from a segment of public
opinion which by no stretch of imag-
ination was unanimous.
His resignation last night. only q
week before the tentative date for
starting spring football practice,
put it up to the athletic board to act
soon in its announced plan of find
ing an athletic director with full
powers to name his own staff.
The board announced the new
plan last December, after A. J..
Lewandowski, who had been athletic
director, asked to be relieved in
order to devote full time to his other
duties as business manager OF ath-
letics.
Masterson has been subjected to
newspaper criticism following a rec
ord of 5 games won and 10 lost in
two seasons. While a Naval Reserve
officer he coached the st. Mary's
Prehight team before coming to
Nebraska in December, 1915.
Chancellor Gustavson bluntly de-
clared the real principle" involved
in Masterson's resignation goes
past the football scene. -" I hope
that a situation of this kind will
never occur again"
In a statement accompanying
the announcement of Masterson's
resignation, Gustavson conceded:
There is an area for difference Of
opinion as to the effectiveness or
ineffectiveness of Bernie Masterson
as a football coach. But certainly
no one can question his sincerity in
attempting to develop successful
football program by accepting the
principles of strict amateurism, re-
fusing to play injured squad men,
bers, and in other ways winning
the respect of players"

Hot SchooIboy Quints
Seen as Title Threats
In Big March Meet
By George Huber

The hve-year reign of District
public high basket ball teams as
interscholastic champions of the
Washington area might easily be
ended this year by either Of two
teams invited today to play in The
Evening Star tournament which
starts three weeks from tonight.
Issued bids to the 18th annual
Metropolitan Washington Inter-
scholastic Invitation Tournament
were George Washington High of
Alexandria and st. Johns School.
Both are exceptionally hot school,
boy outfits, either of which could
prove itself the best around here
when they play in the big tourna-
ment next month.
Have Lost Only One Game.
The Johnnies particularly are
going great. They've lost only one
game in IS starts, and that was an
overtime setback from powerful
Mount st. Joseph's of Baltimore.
They're coached by Joey Gallagher,
who played for St. Johns when 1t
was nosed out by Eastern High in
The Star tourney final in 1888.
Gallagher was selected as the most
valuable palyer in the tourney that
year.
He has an experienced crew play
ing for him up this year, headed by
Jack George, one of the best all
around athletes developed in wash
ington in recent years. Tommy
Fannon, Billy Martins and Vince
Durkin are other outstanding players
on the st. Johns quintet.
st. Johns is one of the few teams
that has broken through the usual
dominance of District public high
teams in The Star tournament,
which 1t did by winning in 1899.
It was runnerup on several other
occasions, including last year when
it lost by only points to Coolidge,
which won't even be in the tourna-
ment this year.
G. w. Has Fine Record.
For George Washington, this
years tournament may be the eli
max of long years of trying to win
the Metropolitan title. Coach Rasty
Doran has taken his team into the
tournament numerous times without
winning, although the Presidents
were beaten by only 2 points by
Eastern in 1914. The year before
the Presidents had an exceptionally
good team that probably could have
won, only didn't take part because
of a conflict with State tourney
dates.
This year there's no conflict, and
the Presidents are hot enough to
finish on top. With the exception
of one loss to Wilson, which they've
also beaten, the Presidents have
cleaned up everything they've tackled
around here and are undefeated in
the Northern Virginia Group I
League.
Bobby Rorer is the high-scoring
star of the Presidents, but he has a
well-rounded and experienced group
playing with him, and already
they've issued a warning that this
is their year. -.
a.. Bethesda Accepts Bid.
Bethesda Chevy Chase, which &C
cepted a. bid yesterday to play in the
tournament, also might find it pos
sibIe. to knock of the District clubs.
District schools have won for the
last five years, starting with Tech
in 1913. Other winners were East
ern, Tech again, and Coolidge for
the last two years.

sored this year by the District Inter
high Athletic Association, will be
held on March 2, 3, S and 6 at
