Beavers Host To Bethany College
Friday, Defiance Next Wednesday

Concluding their pre-holiday basket
ball schedule which has them playing
five contests in less than two weeks,
the Bluffton college Beavers play two
home contests during the next week.
A touring Bethany, w. Va. college
basketball club tangles with the
Mastmen at the Founders Hall GYM

vers hit their second Mid-Ohio League
team of the young season when they
entertain the Defiance Yellowiackets
next Wednesday night. These two
contests conclude court action for the
local cagers until January when
they travel to Central State.
Coach Mast's young Beaver squad,

composed mostly Of first-year men,
have appeared to be rounding into
shape after two early season defeats
at the hands of Manchester, Ind, and
Ohio Northern. If they continue to
show such improvement they should
make the season real interesting
one for local fans.
Lack of heighth has hampered the
Beavers in their early season contests
and probably will be factor in the
remainder of the schedule. The team
lacks the towering cagers which
sprinkle most college rosters these
days.
Not too much is known of the
strength of the Bethany five. But

quintet a surprise before suffering
their second defeat of the season.
With Roger Bixel collecting 20 points
and Kalb garnering 16, the Pirates
were in the thick of the contest most
of the way.
Coach Mast used IL men in the
fray, most of them freshmen. Jim
Bishop was the only senior who saw
action in the contest for the Beaver
squad.
Dubenion grabbed most of the re
bounds for the Beavers in the contest.

coached at the Merchant Ma
rine Academy before returning
for a second term to CIV.
Patched Relations
The many things Reinhart
has done for George Washington
are too numerous to mention,
but one of them illustrates the
type of sportsman he is.
When he first came to CIV
20 years ago, relations with
Georgetown were so strained
they weren't playing each other
in either basketball or football.
Reinhart's first basketball team
put together a 14-game winning
streak, and it was at that point
that he said for publication that
he thought Georgetown had the
best basketball team in town.
The old grads nearly choked to
death trying to swallow that
one, but it did pay off.
Soon the CIV and Georgetown
basketball teams were practicing
against each other on the sly,
and then out in the open. In
1888 the GW-GU basketball
series was resumed, and football
followed the next year to renew
a pleasant relationship.

Couldn't Happen to Nicer Person
Dinner for Reinhort Tribute
To Good Coach and Great Guy
By George Huber

There will be a testimonial
dinner for Bill Reinhart, George
Washington University basket
ball and baseball coach, Tues
day night in the Terrace Room
at National Airport, and 1t
couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Reinhart has been at CIV 20
years, with time out for Navy
service during World War II,
and ever since the dinner was
announced his former pupils
have been coming up to recall
pleasant experiences with him.
The testimonial originally was
sponsored by the CIV Letter.
mems Club, but since the move
ment got under way such other
organizations as the Varsity
Club. Colonials, Inc; Touchdown
Club and even the Oregon State
Society have Joined the affair.
Star Athlete at Oregon
Reinhart originally came from
Oregon. He was a star athlete
in three sports and quarter
backed the University of Oregon
football team in the 1920 Rose
Bowl game against a Harvard
team led by Eddie Casey. Bill
also coached at Oregon IL years
before coming to CIV as basket
ball coach and football backfield
coach in September. 1885.
Actually, Reinhart isn't ma
tive Oregonian. He was born at
Osborne, Mo-, and his family
moved late to Salem, Greg. His
Missouri heritage accounts for
his full name of William Jen-
nings Bryan Reinhart.
Reinhart is the non ulcer
type of coach, even tempered
and genuinely good sport. That
he has lasted as long in a pro-
fession that is not noted for
longevity is proof enough of
that. But next Tuesday nights
dinner is not marking the end
of any phase of Reinhart's
career. Everybody expects him
to go right on handling several
jobs smoothly as he has in the
past.
Record Secondary
One of the interesting things
about the testimonial is that
friends and pupils make only
passing mention of Reinhart's
won -and-lost record, although
the record is very much on the
plus side. They speak of his
craftsmanship, character. per-
sonality, friendliness and real
interest in his athletes.
Elliot Karver, for instance. a
star of Reinhart's Southern Con-
ference champion basketball
team of 1854. made no mention
of that title recently when dis
cussing Reinhart. Instead, he
recalled an out-of town basket

CHICAGO. Mar. ga hand
some youngster from New Or
leans may become the new darl-
ing of television's fight fans.
Willie Pastrano, 10, made his
first appearance on the national
network last night at Chicago
Stadium and gracefully pirou-
cited to unanimous 10-round
victory over AL Andrews.
Pastrano lacks knockout power,
but the clean-cut middleweight
seems to have an instructive ring
cleverness that makes him a diff
f1cult target. He certainly con-
fused the well-meaning, lunging
Andrews.
He also has a deft left-jab-
bing or hooking equally we'll with
it-and savage right uppercut.
He's still young enough to learn
how to set himself for more
leverage and thus more power.

is scanning the field of top
quality middleweights for a
choice to match against Pas
trano in another television show
at Chicago Stadium April %.
The opponent could well be
Ralph tTiger Jones. The battle
wise Jones, in two recent Chi

recognition by disposing of
Sugar Ray Robinson and putting
up rugged and bloody resistance
while losing to Champion Bobo
Olson.
Pastrano, in addition to An

Martinez and Jacques Roger
among his victims. He has won
his last nine fights and now
has a record of 80 victories (in-
cluding eight knockouts). 4 de-
feats and 2 draws. He's married

Last CIV Scrimmage
Marred by Injuries;
Schedule Defended

George Washington University
has closed its spring football
practice on the triple note Of
bad luck, optimism and bitter
ness.
The bitterness appears to be
q mutual feeling between the
athletic department and. oddly
enough, the small segment Of
the student body which processes
an interest in the Colonials'
football fortunes.
The Hatchet. GW's student
newspaper, blasted the schools
football schedule for next sea-
son, schedule that includes only
one game at home. The paper
described the schedule as gross
ly unfair to university students"
What students?" is the reac-
ton Of the athletic department,
which hadn't noticed many in
attendance At previous CIV home
games.
Max harrington, assistant to
the president, said: "I'd be more
impressed with their bitter pro-
tests If more of the students
turned out for our games which
are played at home"
May Add Bucknell
harrington said he was not
satisfied with the schedule
either. but that it could not be
helped this year. The game with
Maryland is supposed to be a
home game for CIV. but is sched-
uled for College Park. Earring
ton said Jim Tatum, the Mary
land coach, was willing to play
the game at Griffith Stadium if
he could get North Carolina or
Syracuse to switch to College
Park.
Another home game for the
Colonials may be lined up with
Bucknell. which owes CIV
game here.
AS of now, the only home
game for CIV is against West
Virginia the night of November

Of the schedule is made up of

some bad luck at Frog Island
yesterday when Len Ciemniecki,
shifty halfback, suffered a dis
located elbow and Mike Sommer,
the former Wilson High School

There was more concern over
Sommer. He wasn't seriously

football.

BEAR MOUNTAIN, N. Y, Mar
24.-Three of the four Washing
ton Golden Glovers training here
with the Eastern boxing team
which meets the West March 81
in Chicago had high hopes o1
making the squad as the condi.
tioning period reached the half
way mark today.
All four of the Capital City's
standard bearers. Featherweight
Walter Taylor, Welterweight
Stewart Grimes and Light
Heavyweights John Horne ano
Charles Ware, have made fav.
orable impressions with the
coaching staff. But only three
of the Washington boxers car
make the team since Ware ano
Horne are fighting for the same
position.
The star of the Capital ag-
gregation up to now has been
Taylor. the 20-year-old clerk
who blossomed out in the recent
Eastern Tournament of Cham
pions to win the featherweight
title against some mighty rough
competition. Taylor's star rises
higher every day.
Boxes Jackson Today
Walter goes back into action
today in boxing sessions against
Bobby Jackson. New York's 1885
featherweight champion.
Yesterday. Walt took jackson
apart in a one-round show OF
ring skill. Taylor beat jackson
for the Eastern championship by
goodly margin, but up here
the gap of superiority is even
wider in the Washington boys
favor.
After a round with Jackson
Taylor went a round with Henry
Gillian of Pittsburgh. and again
he claimed the attention of all
four coaches with a solid per-
formance.
Grimes chances of making the
team may rest on his workout
today against Jimmy Archer. the
New York champion, who beat
Grimes in the Eastern finals.
Grimes worked q round yes
terday with Bobby Tippett OF
Pittsburgh. The Andrews Air
Force Base boxer handled Tip
pett masterfully, but Archer may
prove a bit more difficult.
