Previously, Eugene Witkin scored

9 against North Carolina State in
the Colonials' only defeat and Ed
Moffatt was tops with IA against

Maryland did permit the Cen

on Saturday before whipping
them by 10 points, but G. w.

and won going away as 10 men
hit the scoring column. Moffatt
and Ace Adler both contributed
Is points.
Handlan's 81 points and Bob
Goldsmith's 18 led the Generals.

Night Football Games a Must
For High Schools, Peorce Says
By Bill Fuchs

Without night football for rev.
enue, the District public high
schools will have to abandon some
spring sports. in the opinion Of
Hardy L. Pearce. assistant to Birch
Bayh, head of the Department of
Health and Physical Education.
Pearce, who was released yester-
tay from Bethesda Naval Hospital.
was encouraged by the news that
the Board of Education finally
would study the proposal to in
stall lights at public high school
stadiums.
The former Texan has pleaded
for night scholboy football for
the last half dozen years.
Encouraging, too. was the doc
tors report that Hardy may be
through taking his injured knee
to hospitals.
Hardy has been in and out Of
hospitals and his knee has been
In and out Of casts since 1914 when
he was athletic officer at the Balm
bridge Naval Training Station.
The trouble is a result of too much
bruising football, part Of it played
at George Washington University
where Hardy was a crack lineman
In the early 1905.
Hardy's knee-cap is gone. So is
the lining around the knee Joint.
This is his fourth trip to the hos

it will be his last.

they're getting started. We need

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Like the

dixie, the Mats are holding back a
flood of trades at the major league
meetings. with other clubs SEEM
ingly content to allow Washing
ton to make the first move.
Vice President Calvin Griffith
admits that If the Mats complete
one key deal with the Yankees,
they'll quickly transact two others,
presumably with the Tigers and
White Sox, but the Yankees are
playing coy.
Manager Casey Stengel of the
Yankees, who apparently had
agreed on two propositions with
Manager Bucky Harris early yes
terday, was slated to report back
to Harris some time yesterday, but
Casey suddenly became hard to
find.
When Harris and Stengel part
ed, they had two undisclosed deals
in mind. One was a four-for- two
trade, with the Mats yielding
First Baseman Eddie Robinson as
one of the principals. The other
was a three-for-one deal, with
Robinson also involved.
Vanishing Act by Stengel.
Casey was supposed to submit
both transactions to General
Manager George Weiss and relay
an answer to Harris. but Stengel
vanished.
The occasion for Stengel's dis
appearance could have been q
conference between the Yankees
and Athletics. The Yankees re-
portedly have offered Outflelders
Johnny Linden and Gene Wood
ling, Second Baseman George
Stirnweiss and Third Baseman
Bill johnson to Philadelphia for
Pitcher Joe Coleman.
Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox
entered the picture, fuming at the
Mats bosses because of a rumor
that Pitcher Ray Scarborough
would go to the Yankees. The
Red Sox are eager to grab the
right-hander, who in the last two
seasons has whipped them in the
