Chamberlain Proves
Fodder as Western
Fattens Average

Chamberlain and Bell, the two new
additions to the District public high
basket ball series, aren't having
much success with their efforts to
step into the bigtime. Between the
two they've played five series games
and have yet to come close to VIC
tory. Chamberlain yesterday merely
was q means for Western to fatten
its average same as Bell did for
Coolidge earlier in the week.
The Red Raiders were in front all
the way and used every player on
the bench while running up a 55-23
margin. 1t was fairly close in the
first quarter during which Western
took a 7-5 edge. but after that the
roof fell in on the Volts. They man
aged no points in the second frame
while Glen Davis and Dale Sum-
fnerbell spanked Western to d 26-5
halftime edge.
Davis continued with . pair Of
baskets and foul shot in the third
period before he was withdrawn,
totaling II points to take individual
honors. Altogether II Red Raiders

By Bill Fuchs

Basket ball coaches, whether
they be scholastic, collegiate or
professional, always have their
eyes looking around corners for
q tall man. But what would a
coach do If he suddenly had a
dozen dumped in his lap?
Would he consider it mirage
and forget about 1t, or hand
them a ball and tell them to
start playing?
Coach Rasty Doran of George
Washington High School had
that trouble" this season. He
was swamped with big men. His
squad of IL averages over 6 feet
/ inch in height, and that takes
In Warren Smiley Moore at
6-s and Fordie Thompson at 81.
There's Anthony Daukas at 6-6;
Red Hawes, Jim Gahagen and
James Bibb, each at 6-5; Irwin
Jones at ga; Bob Trites, 6-3;
Billy Smith, So; Bill Henry and
Don Hanback,, each 6-1, and Ed
johnson, sill.
Il never saw so many big boys
at one time" said Doran, who
has been coaching the court
game at the Alexandria school
for the last 10 years. We
usually get one or two boys who
measure about 6 feet, but most
of them are $40 or under. This
year We got a bunch of tail boys
oil at once.
Frankly, I wasn't sure what
they could do. Naturally I had
to change my system in order
to utilize all that height. In
years past we built our system
around fast little boys. They had
to be fast to get away from the
big boys on the opposing teams.
This year it's different. We
are using three tall boys to pivot
around and we use two little boys
to work the ball in. Daukas,
Gahagan and Smith work the
pivot and Moore and Hanback,
bring the ball down court. Then
I have Bibb to replace Daukas,
Jones to spell Smith and Hawes
to take over for Gahagan. Henry
can sub for Hanback, and Thomp-
son can go in for Moore. Trites
can replace any of the big men
and Johnson can go in for any
small man"
The system seems to be work
ing out fine. The tall boys work
as anchors at different spots on
the floor, revolving around and
looking for a teammate to set
up. When no one is in position
any of the pivot men can hook
one around his head. Every
member of the squad knows how
to shoot and has been using
that knowledge to advantage.
The Presidents have bowled
over seven straight foes this sea-
son in as many games. Only
Washington-Lee, Lane of Char
lottesville and Portsmouth have
given them any kind of battle.
They own a combined margin OF
l05 points over their seven foes.
That's an average of Is points
per game.
This year the Presidents have
their eye on the Metropolitan In
vitation tournament. They have
been in the tourney many times,
but have yet to win the trophy.
We've been in the semifinals
two or three times" reminds
Doran. It remember one year
about 1912 Eastern beat us out in
the final by one point. Last year
Central knocked us out in the
semifinals by two points"
The game with Central, Incl
dentally, is the one Doran has his
eyes on. That comes up on Feb
ruary 8 at Central. The Vikings,

Five 1948 Champions
To Fight in Windup
Of Golden Gloves

With five of last years winners
defending titles, the championship
bouts of the 1949 Golden Gloves
boxing tournament at National
Guard Armory next Wednesday
night promise to- be the most torrid
in the 15-year history Of the event.
Seeking repeats will be 11s-pound
ruler Jimmy Caraway, Harry
Rodgers and Keith King, Marines
from Quontieo, who hold the light
weight and heavyweight diadems,
respectively; welterweight king Leon
Daughtry and Roland Randall, the
middleweight champ.
Also after his first senior title is
Gene Smith, winner of the novice
f1yweight crown last year.
With the impending invasion Of
New York for the Eastern Golden
Gloves honors as the lure, the 16
well-conditioned senior division
finalists can be depended upon to
stir up a pugilistic violence.
It looks as If I'm elected"
In at least three instances cham
pionships may change hands. Rod
gers must whip Pete Cilinski, a
three-time Glove titleholder from
St. Mary's Club, to retain his light
weight honors, while Randall's hur-
die is RED" Stipanovich, a main
stay of the Quantico squad. Keith
King meets formidable opponent
in enormous Eddie Grant. winner of
District AAU heavyweight honors
in 1913.
Another scrap that shapes up as
a hummer is the featherweight duel
between Pat Thomas, Merrick Clubs
AAU champion, and Sam Kelsey, a
rough, willing puncher from Liberty
A. c..
With four men each in the senior
and novice finals, the Quantico
squad is wen in line to retain team
honors for a second consecutive
year.
Three champions, Rodgers, Daugh-
try and Randall reached the money
matches in last nights semif1nals
at Uline Arena. Daughtry won a
split decision over Leland Williams,
unattached. before a crowd of al
most 2,700.
In another rousing battle Thomas
earned a split verdict over Lloyd
Habron of the Olympic Club.
In the middleweight semiwindup
Hezekiah Williams, Apollo A. c..
fought champion Roland Randall,
Mel A. c., ON even terms, but in
the second frame Randall hurt the
challenger with several stiff rights
to the head and rallied to score
a TKO after 1:55
The quickest TKO saw the
crowds sentimental favorite, novice
welterweight, Mike Friello, toppled
by Quantico's Pete Oliver after A
seconds of the initial canto. Other
TKOs were scored by novice light
heavy, John Shields. over Floyd
Carberry, and by Connie Wilkins
over George Kim in the senior
welterweight division.
