Talking It OVER WITH JOE WILLIAMS NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—The Army will play the Navy next fall as per usual. You can take that from Congressman Frederick A. Britten Os Illinois. Os course the Army knows nothing about this, nor does the Navy, but apparently this is a trifling and insignificant detail.

The distinguished gentleman not only says they will play, but adds in a soft, dignified . manner, reminiscent of twenty locomotives making an up hill grade, that he will see to it. He is a member of the House Naval Committee. This, it appears, makes him a great guy with practically no mod-

iflcations. Just how Britten manR&Jt uo 'maneuver his resplendent presence into a controversy so remotely removed from his normal sphere of activity is not clear. There is nothing in the records to indicate he has had any connection with the sendee game in the past beyond the traditional prerogative of demanding a batch of seats on the fifty-yard line for home town constituents. u a a It may be that Britten always got these seats, in which event this would seem to explain his anxiety about the situation and the tremendous tolerance he exercises in submitting to interviews at all hours of the day and night. tt tt tt I HAVE heard it said that Britten has yet to see his first ArmyNavy game and that he thinks a touchback is a form of parlor entertainment indulged in by sorority sisters in evening frocks. This is probably a scurrilous untruth. No Congressman would intentionally miss an Army-Navy game and the accompanying opportunity to get himself photographed in the news reels. One of the creditable things about the gentleman from Illinois is that he has adopted a strictly neutral attitude in regard to the differences that have sprung up between the two service institutions. He doesn’t care which one backs water so long as it isn’t the Navy. Nor cah anyone say that he hasn’t gone to infinite trouble to discern the true facts. In commenting on an insinuation that Army athletes develop a shocking lack of interest in warfare once their football days are ended Britten sadly admitted that such indeed was the ghastly truth. ana “Fully 80 per cent of them quit within a year after graduation,” he said. The fact is the percentage is closer to 3 per cent, based on official West Point records. Still, this was not far wrong for a Congressman. a a a ON a later occasion Britten, deploring the Army’s heinous practice of granting all cadets the

Final. Round Is Started in Valley Event Sixteen Net Teams in Tourney Play at Terre Haute. • By Times Special TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Jan. 27 The final round of the Wabash Valley basketball tournament was to start here at 1 o’clock this afternoon, with Gerstmeyer and Vincennes providing the competition in the opening game". Sixteen clubs remained in play after last week’s preliminary tournaments. The complete schedule for today’s play: 1 P. M.—Gerstmeyer vs. Vincennes. 2 P. M.—Odon vs. Riley. 3 P. M.—Hutsonville vs. Westfield. 4 P. M.—Clay City vs. Dugger. SP. M.—Lawrencevllle vs. Clinton. 7 P. M.—Lyons vs. Beitmore. 8 P. M.—Montezuma vs. Freeiandville. 9 P. M.—Sullivan vs. Brazil. The remainder of the tournament play will be staged Saturday. After watching several of the teams in practice here this Week and in tha preliminary tourneys a week ago critics here still were in a quandary in attempting to select a favorite. The Vincennes team was to be guided by “Skeet” Buck while John Adams takes his varsity club to play Coiumbus. MEET SATURDAY By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 27.--Phil Edwards, Negro middle-distance runner of New York University, and Oliver Proudlock of the Newark A. C. will meet Saturday in a special 600yard race at Brooklyn. privilege of playing football, no matter how many years they have played in college, let it be known, with another sorrowful shake of his fine old head, "that not a single team in the Western Conference will play the Army until they adopt the three-year rule.” Now you may say it was none of the gentleman’s business if this were so and that it would seem more fitting if a protest of this sort came from the Conference teams themselves. To which your answer is. or should be, that a Congressman is never disturbed or deterred by ethics or principles as long as he has a chance to bust into the headlines, that common channel of political advancement utilized by all sundry seeking additional public favors. Os course Britten was wrong on this one, too, because while the three-year rule is in force in the Western Conference, it is not necessarily applicable to teams outside the Big Ten.

come of this battle between a brown man and a black man who are not afraid to fight. Flowers, is the fastest coming fighter in the lightweight ranks. Tenorio arrived in this country not %o long ago from the Philippines, and began at once a dizzy climb in the 135-pound division. The Filipino recently knocked out Stanislaus Loayza and won from Joe Glick, the Brooklyn junior lightweight. The inactivity of Mandell has caused the lightweight division to reach a sad state of stagnation, and the fans are looking to such fighters as Tenorio and Flowers to revive interest in tine once-popular division. Sammy Dorfman of New York and Joey Sangor of Milwaukee, who knocked out Mandell and twice beat Bud Taylor, will meet in the tenround semi-final. Dorfman and Sangor are featherweights.
