Aid for Minors
In their windup action yester-
day at Chicago the majors ex-
tended a helping hand to the
minors while slapping collegiate
baseball. They established a 28-
player limit for each team for
opening day, which VIII release
many players to the minors, and
rescinded a rule banning the
signing of q collegiate player
after he has reached his sopho-
more year.
The collegiate rule rebuff
brought quick howls from college
coaches. but the rule hadn't been
working anyway. The minor
leagues never observed It and
minor league afiiliates of major
league teams signed collegians
freely.
The majors agreed to hold their
annual winter meeting in the

spite an 81-56 shellacking by
Bulls Prep last night in its
basketball opener Of the season.
should be ready by next Tues
day when 1t takes on Mount
Vernon in the first of IA North
ern Virginia League games.
The Presidents meet Thomas
Jefferson Of Richmond in q nom
league contest Friday night at
Hammond High, then will play
at Mount Vernon Tuesday night,
the first of five consecutive
league games.
It was the third straight year
CIV had been given a going
over in its season opener when
it lost last night in christening
the new Hammond High gym.
The year before the George
Washington University fresh
men did it and last year it
was st. Johns.
In each instance. the Alexan-
drianS bounced back for a highly
successful season, an item Coach
Steve Osisek noted optimistically
after last nights game. Osisek
said ne was hoping this team
would do the same thing.
But Osisek was quick to point
out that the team needed more
work. The shooting and nall-
handling was fair but rebounds
were getting away from the
Presidents and the defense was
very porous.
Nevertheless, CIV showed def
mite promise and at least four
league coaches, who were among
the 800 or so spectators. saw
enough to convince them this
would be a tough club to beat.
For the first half CIV hung in
the game, but then Bulls began
"a fast break and in the last quar-
ter hit for "a points to only
seven for the fast-tiring Alexan-
drianS.
The best George Washington
could do was a 1926 tie on two
foul shots by Bob Garda with IS
seconds left in the second period.
Jerry Dunn hit from the floor
for Bulls, was fouled and made
lit and the Admirals held a 1926
lead at halftime.
The Presidents came reason
ably close one other time when
they trailed, 50-42, with is Sec
onds remaining in the third
quarter. But then Lew Luce,
former All-Metropolitan from
Wilson High, connected on five
straight driving layupS and Bulls
won going away.
Luce and Doug Moe were high
scorers for Bulls, each with "a
points, with Luce getting 20 in

plans, but it's no secret that
Densmore. Garda and Delnegro
are expected to take the Presi-
dents where ever they are going
49,
Densmore, 6-foot-5, has solidi-
fed his 215 pounds since last
year. His size gives him an adj
vantage over most rebounders
and for scoring he'll stay with
the best. He had a IT'S scoring
average last year. Densmore has
a variety of shots although he
has better success with the hook
and jump shot.
Garda is one Of the finest
athletes produced at George
Washington in quite some time.
An All-Metropolitan selection in
football as an end, the 6-foot-2,
.175-pound Garda also is a
murder on the track team and
a third baSeman on the baseball
team. Possessor Of a good jump
shot, Garda should improve over
his 1912 average of last year.
Delnegro, 5-foot-11 quarter
back of the football team, is an
excellent ball handler and as q
guard will do considerable feed
ing" to Densmore and Garda.
With the exception of Crupper
and Ridgely from the Jayvees,
who don't figure heavily, this is
an all-senior squad.
The Presidents are playing
home games this year at the
new Hammond High. That
shouldn't make any difference in
the final outcome. Only five
teams will be in the State
tournament this time as against
eight in former years and with
only onet representative from the
Northern District, CIV is serving
notice now it intends to be the
one.

WIT II T HE
HIGH SCHOOLS
By BOB HANSON

George Washington High
opened its 1867 basketball sea-
son last night by getting hit
between the eyes by Bulls Prep,
S1-56, but this in no way is ex-
pected to keep the Presidents
from rolling along in their own
league and probably winding up
in the State tournament at Rich
Imond.
The loss last night was not
taken too seriously by Coach
Steve Osisek inasmuch as Bulls
had played couple of games,
winning convincingly its last
time out over cambridge Prep
Bulls, which is fortified with
former high school stars, takes
on prep and freshmen college
teams for most of its schedule.
1t was more than 10 years ago
the 1856 season, that CIV High
won its only State basketball
championship under Rasty
Doran, now athletic director.
The Presidents came close at
Richmond last year, bowling to
Newport News 1882, in the
finals. Now the word is being
spread around that CIV will be
back in Richmond in a few
months with can't miss tag.
That's strong talk with the
season just getting under way,
but it's a strong club Osisek has
going for him as he begins his
fourth year. He also has an en-
viable record.
In his first season, Osisek had
a 1919 mark and he is quick to
add that six of the defeats were
by a total of II points. Along
with the record that year the
AlexandrianS won the Metro
politan tournament, the last year
it was held.
Improvement was noted the
following year in the 1876 mark
and last season it was even bet
ter at 1876.
Osisek isn't predicting. what
the record will be this time but
he conveys the idea it should be
the best in the Northern Vir-
ginia circuit.
1t was an moderated clut
Osisek had last year. Only he anc
the team believed they would DE-
as well as they did in the State
tourney. And from that team
only one is missing, Mike Agee, q
freshman at Washington State
Besides having a veteran team
with height and speed Osisek has
a good bench, something he's
lacked in other years.
This should be the best" Osi-
