The 69-ers were back in Wash
1ngton yesterday to celebrate a
silver anniversary.
It was probably the last lunch
con Of the seth Congress Club,
but gala meeting-a reunion of
the women who banded together
IS years ago when their husbands
came to Washington to serve in
Congress for the first time
Hostesses to the group were Mrs.
Albert E. Carter, founder of the
seth Club, and Mrs. Frederick
Davenport, who entertained at the
formers home on Sixteenth street.
Members came from far and
near for the reunion and for some
1t was their first meeting in years.
AS they gathered together. they
recalled how the club came into
being back in 1925.
Mrs. Carter, whose husband was
then Representative from Cali
fornia. called on the wife of an
other new member of the 69th
Congress and found her packing
up to go back home because of
sheer loneliness. The homesick
congressional wife was surprised
when Mrs. Carter told her she
should have made her official calls,
instead of waiting for them. And,
then and there, Mrs. Carter de-
cided to do something about it.
The 69th Congress Club, made
up of the wives of new legislators
in the 69th Congress, was the
answer. And it proved to be so
popular that Mrs. Carter organ
lied similar groups with the ar
rival OF each new Congress.
About three years ago, the wives
OF legislators who came to Capt.
tol Hill before the 69th Congress
decided to have their club, too.
And the Senior Congress Club was
formed with Mrs. Fred Vinson
as the first president.
Now that the seth Congress
Club has so few members still liv-
ing in Washington, it has decided
to join the Senior Congress Club,
which is headed this year by Mrs.
Carter Glass. So yesterdays meet
ing was probably the last of the
69th Congress Club as such.

Bob bKessIer ofG. w. High Voted
Top Coqer in Stars Tourney
By George Huber

A 16-year-old sophomore from
George Washington High in Alex
andria, Center Bob Kessler, was
voted the outstanding player in
last weeks Evening Star metropol-
itan basketball tournament.
This is only an unofficial choice.
as high school rules now do not
permit such recognition, but the
6-foot-1 Kessler was a unanimous
selection of tournament coaches
who voted for players on the ALL
Tournament team.
Kessler thus joins two players
from Techs championship team
and two from st. Johns runnerup
five on the All-Tournament team.
George Washington was nosed out
by Tech in overtime in the semi
final and defeated Eastern in the
consolation game.
Other Selections.
Tech players on the honor roll
are Tony Sgro, the peppery all
around player whose two foul
shots in the closing minute saved
the Maroons a victory over ST.
Johns in the payoff game, and
big Bill Breen, the teams leading
scorer. St. Johns placed its two
aces. Bob Macdonald and Bob
McLindon.
Second team choices were Stan
Herman of Tech, Erwin Jones and
Smiley Moore of George Washing
ton, Francis Dyer of Eastern and
Warren Lytle of Hyattsville. Thus
five of the eight tournament teams
received recognition on the first
two teams, and the other three
teams have representatives among
the honorable mentions.
Kessler made a hit in the tour
ney's first round when he dumped
in 19 points toward G. WIS vic
tory over Hyattsville, and he con-
tinued his scoring in the next two
games for a 45-point total. One
college scout who spotted him right
away groaned in disappointment
when he found Kessler was only
a sophomore. by the time that
kid gets out of high school every
coach who's seen him will want
him and I won't have chance"
he said.

Lindon with "a were other high
scorers who made the first team,
but point-making wasn't the only
thing considered in the selection.
Macdonald of st. Johns was
further down the list but made the
first five off his all-around play.
The same goes for Techs Sgro,
who fell somewhat below his usual
scoring potential but continued
his always good defensive work.
It wasn't revealed until after the
tournament. but Sgro painfully in
jured his right shoulder in the first
game against Gonzaga and had to
be rested frequently in the semi
final and final. At times he was
shooting and passing with his left
hand.
Herman was another valuable
Tech player who deserved a place
on the first team, but Sgro's ster-
ling work in the final, particularly
his two successful foul shots in the
closing minute under very trying
conditions, earned him the nod.
