Uncertain on
Starting Elves
BY ROBERT SOMMERS
Star Staff Writer

The old Abbott and Costello
routine of who's on first
probably will be resurrected at
$3.50 tomorrow night when
George Washington and
Georgetown parade their start
ing basketball lineups onto the
floor of McDonough Gym.
Neither team has been ex-
actly consistent with it's start
IerS, but Hoya Coach Tom
IOKeefe seems a bit better off
than the Colonials' Bill Rein
hart.
O'Keefe claims he has eight
starters, which must make
Reinhart feel like a poor rela:c
tion since anyone who has seen
George Washington knows
Reinhart has only four-Jon
Feldman, whose 22.7 average
is the best of the areas major

Schweickhardt and Don Ardell.
Jim Grant Got Chance
In desperation for the fifth
man, Reinhart came up with
Jim Grant, unknown even to
the program printer for Tues
days Maryland game. His name
wasn't included in the CIV
roster.
Georgetown probably will 60

as long as his ailing leg holds

he tires. Along with those two
are Joe Mazelin, who performed
notably against both Seton Hall
and Navy, and Jim Carrino,
whose Is points against Navy
was second only to Sharpen
ter'S IT. Then there comes a
choice between Jay Force, Jim
Christy, Vince Wellington and
Dan Slattery.
This is a battle between two
slumping teams. Georgetown,
which showed promise of bet
tering last seasons lilo rec
ord when it got off to a 6-1
start, has dropped three of its
last four games and now is
8-4. George Washington has
lost its last two, a 120-68
slaughter by West Virginia and
an 81-67 clobbering by Mary
land. Its record is 5-8.
Has Score to Even
Before its 64-56 overtime loss
to Navy Wednesday, George
town squeezed out an 84-83
overtime victory over Seton
Hall, but lost, 1910, to Mary
land and 1866 to CIV.
I'VE have a score to even
with GW," O'Keefe said while
laying out plans for tomorrow's
game, one that also will settle

ATCHLSON.S ANGLE
A Big Man With the Jumpers
BY LEWIS r. ATcHIsoN

JOE GOT A BREAK" in his first race
under colorS-a busted collarbone- he'll
never forget the horses name, mo Springs"
He's had three broken collarbones and one
separation since then, plus broken nose
and slightly punctured lung. This is about
par for the course. The collarbone is wired
together and he wears protective leather
cup over it when racing.
Joe's wife, the former Dorothy Mont
gomery, had never seen steeplechase race
until he persuaded her to come along one
day. She did-and saw him hit the turf and
acquire one of his fractures. But she's a
fan now and enjoys the sport.
II rode about 1876 or 14O races last
year, "Aitcheson said, Including about 20
on the flat at hunt meets. prefer steeple-
chasing"
Joe rode in the famed Maryland Hunt
Cup in 1850 while financially still an anna
teur, and later he rode in the Virginia Gold
Cup.
For few outstanding horses these two
have been American Springboards to Eng
lands exhauSting Grand National. He con-
SiderS the Maryland course the longest,
with the highest fences, but he thinks the
Virginia classic draws a better caliber of
horses.
NOW 80, JOE SERVED six years as
gunner'S mate in the Navy before becoming
a landlubber. He has sailed around the
world twice, and he was in the crew of the
carrier Oriskany when it became the first
craft of its kind to go around Cape Horn.
But Navy life, exciting though it was, was
not as financially rewarding as riding. Joe
pocketed $4,000 last year, and has averaged
$4,000 to $4,000 since moving into the big
time. It's not bad take-home pay when you
consider that the biggest jumping purse is
$5000O, in contrast to flat races, where
100000 stakes are almost commonplace.
Aitcheson won the $4,000 prize last
year, the Temple Gwathmey Handicap, on
Peal at Belmont He took the Harbor Hill
also at Belmont, the New York Turf Writers
Handicap at Aqueduct, and the Tom Roby
and Indian River at Delaware Park. It
isn't possible to do much better on the Jump
circuit.
Joe currently works for his dad break
ing yearlingS at the AitcheSon farm near
Laurel. He's scheduled to report February
l to Trainer Ridgely White at Middleburg,
where he'll have the same task. The Job
has its ups and downs, but you can't beat

Fold After Losing $4,000

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 10 (AP)
The Los Angeles Jets, who
finished second in the first
half of the American Basket
ball League race, have folded
with a loss of $189,000.
The Jet players have been

The Jet crash followed by

AS a latecomer to the Los

Packers Lose
$15O,OOO

CHICAGO, Jan. 10 (AP) -
Owner Dave Trager says his
new entry in the National
Basketball Association, the
Chicago Packers, lost $15O,00O
in the first half of the season.
Trager blamed the loss on a
losing team, bad weather and
a schedule which had the
Packers making only IL home
appearances in the huge Inter-
national Amphitheater.
II feel certain things will get
better in the second half of the
season." he said. 1--WE have more
home games and the weather
must improve. Even if we should
lose another $150,000 through
the rest of the season, we still
will field a team in the 1923
season."
Trager said that although a
new franchise may be accepted
in the NBA next season, the
Packers still will have the first
draft choice, and it will be
Terry Dischinger of Purdue.
1--WE think we can offer
Dischinger a contract that will
appeal to him and also provide
him with the opportunity of
taking a job in his field in the
Chicago area" Trager said.
