Central and Roosevelt
Seen Remaining in
Series Deadlock

Central and Roosevelt are show
ing the winning form that should
keep them tied at the top of the
District interhigh basket ball series
in Fridays games. Both turned in
victories yesterday, with Central
especially looking good as it ran up
a 1904 win over Mount Vernon.
Roosevelt beat Bladensburg, 1890.
Those 80 points by Central were
the most scored by District public
high quint this season, and indicat-
ed the Vikings should be more than
a match for Anacostia on Friday
This time it was Hal Sponslor tax
ing over the leading scorers role,
tossing in "a points. Anacostia,
generally noted for high scoring,
turned in one of its lowest figures
this year as Gonzaga made up for
a previous setback by upsetting the
Indians, 1924. Wally Warner, usu-
ally responsible for much of Ana
costias attack, was limited to 2
points, and Gonzaga's Buddy Lar
kins hit the hoop for IA points.
Roosevelt Extends Streak.
Roosevelt's win over Bladensburg
was its second victory over that
team this year, and ran its victory
string to seven. The margin yes
terday wasn't as large as the first
time, but Cocah Herman Littman
used his reserves much of the way.
Roosevelt plays Coolidge Friday.
st. Johns and George Wash
ington, considered the two best
teams around here outside the pubs
lie high series, continued their win
ming ways yesterday, both over
D. G. clubs. The Johnnies racked
up their 18th victory against a
lone setback by trimming Eastern,
54-35, and the Presidents topped
Tech. 44-35. Tom Fannon, Jack
George and Vince Durkin took turns
pacing the Johnny assault. all scor-
ing more than 10 points. Bobby
Rorer was pretty much the whole
show for George Washington, par
ticularly in the final period when
he outscored the whole Tech team.
He finished with % points.
In other games involving District
high quints yesterday, Western
nosed out American U. Jayvees, 81
81; Wilson beat Georgetown Prep,
1928, and Coolidge bowed to Wood
berry Forest, 1896.
Bethesda and Blair Win.
Bethesda and Blair, those prime
Montgomery County rivals who
meet for the second time Friday
night, both won warmups yester-
day. Bethesda topped Washington
Lee, 1897, with Fred Genau get
ting 10 points. and Blair sank
Greenbelt, 1928, as Mitch Parson
set a 15-point pace.
Landon, Friends and st. Paul's
we're winners in private school
games. Gil Bogley continued his
high-scoring play for Landon, earn
ing 10 points as his team topped
Longwood School, 1926 Friends
edged St. Adams, 40-37, and St.
Paul's nosed out st. Anthony's,
1929.
Woodward School was upset as
Gaithersburg took a 1928 victory,
Mount Rainier won over Oxon Hill,
1910, and George Washington u.
Jayvees defeated Dewitt. 50-37.

The present status of the West
ern division Of the Basket Ball
Association holds the Caps in a
state of suspended animation and
tonight the Caps will break the ten
sion, either by snatching on to the
first-place bracket with victory
over the Baltimore Bullets or by
plunging into the basement with a
defeat.
Even If the Caps win, however,
they won't have exclusive rights on
the top spot. They'll have to share
the coveted position with the st.
Louis Bombers, who now are half
a game ahead of the Caps and
idle tonight.
The Bullets, too, have ideas of
moving up and they feel the Caps
will make as good stepping stone
as any. If the invaders win they'll
jump over the Chicago Stays and
exchange their present last-place
position for Washingtons second.
Need Good Winning Streak.
Such is the condition facing
these two intercity rivals as they
prepare to clash for the fifth time
tonight at Uline Arena. The tight
ly bracAeted clubs have been NOV
ing up and down the Western divi-
sion standings with the regularity
of the mailman, but the Caps feel
that the new and pleasant atmos-
phere of first place will spur them
on to greater things.
"All we need is good winning
streak" says Cap Capt. Bob Feerick.
1--WE feel as good now as we did last
year when we won II in a row."
The Bullets evidently also feel
good, for they took big bite out of
Washington confidence last Friday
in Baltimore. 1t was the first win
for the Baltimoreans over the Caps,
but 1t was by a 24-point margin.
while the Caps have won two by
points and one by s.
The rivalry itself is natural one
The BBA clubs provide the only
professional competition between
the two cities and, given time, 1t
should fare into an explosive at
traction.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The pro-

Ruffin, which began 10 years ago
this month, apparently is ended.
His co-manager, Maurie Waxman,
said Ruffin is practically sightless

Ear Hospital within the next three
days.
Four years ago as leading light

Ruffin defeated Beau Jack and

EDITORIAL
Resumption OF Tick Eradication Program

1T is good to see that thought is being given again to the
tick eradication program in the Virgin Islands, when DR..
Clavef Of the Bureau Of Animal Industry for Puerto Rico re-
commended an "Island-wide dipping program. Several years
ago the Federal government instituted a program, and a rath-
er serious effort was made to carry it out in an effective man
ner, to the benefit of all livestock owners. However, as could
have been expected, there were those-perpetual gripes-who
complained, and thought that it was a waste of money, time
and energy. According to their Anticipated reasoning the pro-
gram would serve no purpose. After all had not people raised
cattle in these Islands for the past hundreds of years without
tick eradication?
IL IS now known that the cattle tick is dangerous and
costly. To animals which have not become immune, a single
tick bite can cause fever, and result in the loss of the animal.
Then, too, there is further loss, as the hide is considerably re-
duced in value. Greatest of all is the loss of weight and feed,
for tick prevent any animal from being vigorous, and from
using to its maximum ability the amount of feed given it. 1t
can be seen, therefore, that there is every disadvantage in
raising tickinfected herds, and every gain from having a
clean, healthy herd, either ready for beef, or for milk produc-
ton.
had the program here, we are fortunate in still
being able to use a great many of the dips, and there are
those farsghted owners who kept their dips in repair, and
continued to dip from time to time. That initial cost will not
have to be met, and it is therefore only for the program to be
revived, and for many of the former employees, who are skill
ed and very well acquainted with everything, to be called
again to duty.
WE HOPE that plans can be made for a continuing pro-
gram, so that we can count not only on the temporary bene-
fits, but on those which come from a steady foIlow-p. We
knew that no lengthy argument should be necessary to con-
vince everyone that this program will more than pay for is
self in the long run.

An Unpurchasablc Soul

One of the finest things ever said by any
man was put into his will by Josephus Dan
iels, who died recently at the age of IS, after
a distinguished career as a newspaper editor
and public servant.
During his lifetime, Daniels built the Ra-
leigh, N. c., News and Observer from the
weakest kind of a daily to a circulation of
100000 and made it a national influence.
He left the paper to his four sons, with this
noble admonition:
II enjoin those who direct the paper in
the tomorrows never to advocate any cause
for personal profit or preferment. If the
paper should at any time be the voice of self
interest, or become the spokesman of priv
lege or selfishness, it would be untrue to it's
history
He urged his sons to look upon the paper,
mot as a property, but as having an unpur-
chasable soul"
If all newspaper publishers had those
ideals, they would remake America into the
country Daniels envisioned and fought for.

Insight

With all their public worrying about pre-
serving the American way of life. you would
think the National Association Of Manufac-
turers and the Z. S. Chamber of Commerce
would be the strongest supporters Of our
social security system.
Instead they have launched a campaign
to Kill unemployment benefits which is the
keystone Of the whole social security system.
Perhaps the members Of these manage
ment organizations would save a little in
taxes if unemployment benefits were turned
over to the tender mercies of the state legis-
latures. Some states already have indicated
that they will stop paying benefits to the I'M
employed altogether - once they have the
power. Others plan to reduce benefits.
