Miss Carolina Nabuco, sister
and hostess of the Brazilian AM
bassador, Mr.. Mauricio Nabuco.
gave the first of a series of late
afternoon parties yesterday. She
received in the handsome banquet
room on the ground floor where
a long buffet table was set up In
one corner laden with many deli
cacies. The. hostess wore a very
becoming costume of black silk
bodice with short sleeves and a
very full moderately short print
skirt of large flowers on a black
background. The Ambassador was
across the room greeting guests
after they were received by his
sister.
Many of the callers went out
into the charming garden but as
the party was not large the room
never was crowded and the guests
were culled from diplomatic, off,
cial and resident society. Mrs,
Stanley K. Hornbeck was on her
way to the Culbertson's party and
took with her Mrs. George c.
Thorpe. Others, from the residen-
tial group were Mrs. John Allan
Dougherty, Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
ward Heating, and Mrs. Hollister
SturgeS. >
The Peruvian Ambassador and
Sonora de Berckeneyer and the
Honduran Ambassador and Sonora
de Valle were among the early
arrivals and most of those at the
Brazilian embassy were on their
way to other parties or had just
come from similar festivities.
Miss Nabuco's neighbors, the
British Ambassador and Lady
Franks, planned an al fresco
party yesterday when they enter
tanned the members of the English
Speaking Union, their wives and
husbands. The Ambassador and
Lady Franks greeted their 400 or
more guests in the wide hallway
close to the doors onto the ter
race. Guests went out on the
terrace and the lawn where COM
Portable chairs were placed. The
tea table was indoors though
many of the callers took their
refreshing iced coffee and tea into
the open.

Techs High-Scoring Juniors, Breen and Herman,
Give School One-T Two Basketball Punch
By Brion Bell, Jr.

Bill Breen and Stan (Snookie)
Herman, Tech Highs fast-Scoring
twosome, have put one-two
punch in basketball.
Breen and Herman are major
reason the Trainers rate as one OF
the best high school fives to be
seen in these parts in some time
and both boys are only juniors.
They are so good now that if
they improve any by 1852, Techs
opponents may be willing to con-
cede before the Trainers take the
court. Breen and Herman aren't
the whole Tech offense by any
means but they are the big point
getters and good team players be-
sides.
Breen is averaging 21.3 points in
interhigh competition and Ker-
nan is pressing him for scoring
honors with 1875. One of The best
features-at least for Techs
that they usually take turns toss
ing in the points.
Against Chamberlain, Herman
could only toss in seven markers
but Breen made 20. In the next
game with Anacostia, Breen was
held to 10 while Herman fired away
for "a. When the Trainers played
Washington-Lee, the Generals
held Snookie to six points but Bill
made q
When both are hitting on the
same day it spells trouble for the
opposition as Western can well
testify. Breen made 90 against
the Raiders and Herman % and
the final score was Tech 81, West
ern 63
Unlike many high scoring high
school boys, Techs top point get
ters are not shot happy. They
are two of the best play makers
in the city and many times pass
off when they have a good shot
but a teammate has one slightly
better.
Both are hard drivers and
when they decide to break for the
basket it's usually two points or
a couple of free throws. Herman
likes to work in close and his
pivot-and-jump shot fired with
two hands from over the head is
a thing of beauty. Breen does well
near the basket, too. but is also
an excellent long shot and scores
heavily on sets if given half
chance.
Herman is especially effective on
rebounds and though only SILL,
goes high in the air after a missed
shot. The Shopworn phrase
Jumps as if he has springs in
his legs is not just a cliche when
applied to this boy.
Snookie proved he is versatile
athlete during the football sea-
son. Last year he was one of the
best backs in the city as a triple
threaten, but mostly an elusive
runner.
Dutch Usilaner is high in praise
of both boys. They're nice to
work with" the Tech coach says.
"They play hard and work well
with the rest of the team"
Breen and Herman get plenty

Rose Bowl wISpecu|ation
Is Pure GuessWork,'
Coast Official Says
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26.-
Speculation whether the Pacific
Coast Conference may sever its
time -honored affiliation with the
Rose Bowl football game is "pure
guesswork, in the opinion of one
highly placed conference official.
Requesting anonymity. this
source expressed the belief the
conference would continue its
agreement with the Tournament
of Roses Association. He agreed
it was possible-but added he
thought it improbable" - the
pact would be ended.
Talk that such members as
Washington State, Idaho, Oregon
State and Oregon may be in ac-
cord on the idea of abandoning
the Rose Bowl tieup seems con-
trary to the present financial ar
rangements Of the conference"
the official said.
These smaller schools would
face the loss of a share of the
Rose Bowl receipts, which amounts
to about $4,000 each. They use
this money largely to contribute
to the salary of the conference
commissioner and the expenses
of operating his Office. Without
the receipts from the Rose Bowl
game. they would be placed in the
position of having to dig up the
money from other sources. This
is an expenditure some of them
could i'll afford" Under Coast
Conference rules, each member
shares in the Rose Bowl receipts.
Rumors that the Rose Bowl
pact might be discontinued have
been banded about since the con-
