The game was- chock lull of fouls that had the crowd "booing" in typi- caj Brooklyn style every time a Pio- foul shot.

-Coach Eddie Nugent, of East Bank, made it plain everyone concerned that he was ir from satisfied with the environ- ienfc good sport himself. Coach Nu- gent was irked no little at the handi- cap under wh'ich his team was forced shoot from the foul line. 7 Things so furious in the rloufth; quarter that the game was halted for several minutes. Coach Clyde.Hutson, of Charleston, stepped on the floor and asked the crowd to subside and the Charleston players constantly motioning lor silence. Coach Hutson expressed himself as-displeased with the dis- play.

Many Called The game was just about as wild a-s the Crowd, and "Referee Robinson called 20 personal fouls on Charles- ton- -and ,13 on East Bank. Captain Bin -Carver and Frank Day. of East XBahk, were ejected as were Captain SJohn Shonk. Sid Marks- and Julian Coghill, of Charleston. 7 The game started fast and Captain Carver had three fouls on him in two minutes which handicapped East Bank, The score was tied at 1-1, 3-3 and '4-4 before 'Charleston pulled away to a.

The bald Frenchman claims that he was fouled, but Georges Carpentier and others express the opinion that he was knockedout fairly. With the Mountain Lions There will be some real hustling in the Charleston high school gym- nasium this week as the Mountain on cagers will make their big of the year Friday and Saturday into the southern tip of the state to meet Bluefield and Princeton. Most of the boys have been thinking about that trip all season. Coach Clyde Hutson has let the boys enow that they are not going on any wild goose chase or joy ride, but to slay basket ball against two of the loughest foes on the local schedule. The Lions lost both games on the xip last year and are out to vindi- cate themselves.

The Bluefield Jeavers beat Charleston, 57-38. of the players who caused the Jions' downfall will be back again, They are Guills, one of the best coring forwards in the state, and Captain McCall, guard. The lishop brothers and Walk have graduated, for which Charleston is hankful. While Princeton is generally con- idered the stronger team of these wo, Bluefield nosed out the Tigers ecently by two points. Guills was responsible by scoring 21 of his cam's 31 points.

Other Blue- ield threats this year are Beatty nd Byrd, forwards; nd Boughton, The fa- VfeVftiK OT-O too much about its trip as Ed Sei- bert's Montgomery Greyhounds in- vade the local-floor for a game Tuedsay night. The Lions de- feated the Hounds at Montgomery earlier in the season, 47-32, but the worm may have turned' with the cagey Sejbert at the helm. He is at his best coaching hardwood artists. In Gunboat Smith, Montgomery has a real pivot star. He scored 23 points against Charleston before, 13 of them on the foul line.

Captain Richards and Craig are a tricky pair of forwards while Stacey, Pulliam and Lawson are good ball handling guards. They will probably be a lot tougher in this second game. The list of undefeated teams in the state is gradually diminishing Victory bit the dirt for the first time this year when their Clarks- burg city rivals from Washington- Irving trimmed them in a scorcher, 23-22. Victory had looked al- most unbeatable, but that's the way those Clarksburg teams upset one another.

Nai- smith, originator of basket ball, to the 1936 Olympic games was be- lieved assured of success tonight as hundreds of schools pledged their cooperation. Members of the National Associa- tion of Basket Ball coaches have designated February 7-15 as "Na- tional Naismith week." Every high school, college- and university in the nation has been asked to set aside one game during that week as "Nai- smith game." One cent will taken from each ad- mission.

The money will be used to send Dr. Naismith and his wife to the Olympics and found a small an- nuity for them.

5 The committee also Voted for two other recommendations, not involving changes in the to be forwarded to the intercolleg- iate rules committee for possible action at the latter's meeting late this month. With Dr. Jock Sutherland, of the University of Pittsburgh, as chair- man, the committee went on record as favoring: 1. A change in the penalty for running into the kicker. It is now five yards and a first down.

The coaches ask that it be altered to become five yards and not a first down unless the necessary distance has not been made by the exaction of the penalty. 2. Change rule 7, section 2, to say: "If one or more ineligible men are across the scrimmage line either as decoys or to obstruct the right of way of the defenders, it is to be considered screening. (This is mere- ly a rewording of the screening rule to clarify it). 3.

Make 'it compulsory for all players to wear jerseys which carry numbers on both front and back. The other two recommendations were that officials do away with the slow whistle, and that the rules com- mittee give consideration to small colleges who cannot employ more ihan three officials. The coaches feel that where a fourth official is too expensive, both sides should agree on a fourth man who will sit on tne sidelines, without remuneration, and list incoming substitutes to re- the other three officials of this Generals Facing Carolina Quintet LEXINGTON, Feb. ngton and Lee's basket ball team with a long string of victories and no defeats behind them since Jan- uary 8' when they opened season, will face the strong North Sharpen Up Batting Eyes There's nothing like a game of billiards to shafpen up the batting eye, Bing Miller, Boston Red Sox outfielder, and -Rube Walbeirg, Red Sox pitcher, believe.

DOWN AND AROUND By HARRY GRAYSON Spider Matlock had around 250 breaks, bruises and burns. It was inevitable that the fatal break would go against him. It did on the little dirt Ascot speedway in Los Angeles when the car of Al Gordon blew a tire and crashed over the retaining wall, killing the renowned driver and his daredevil mechanic. The odds against Gordon were heavy enough, although his risk was confined to tracks, so what could the price on Matlock have been? Spider courted death in any old line. William E.

Matlock was one of the "13 Black Cats" reckless chaps who performed stunts in and out of motion pictures. Only two survive. A director wanted a hardy soul who wasn't particular about his health to ride a motorcycle into a brick wall two feet high and go sailing over the handlebars. A papier mache section was con- structed and a would-be stunt man rode into it. He went sailing through.

Nothing happened that would excite flicker fans, Matlock was called in. Spider wasn't happy unless the thrill was real, so he chose a section of solid wall. He figured that he would The heavy-footed man, of Long Beach, rammed the Indianapolis a in a spin in 1934. and his mechanic, Jimmy Dunham, had a miraculous escape in the big Hoosier number in 1935, when their car shot into a streak of oil. It swerved and crashed into the concrete embank- ment, only a few yards from a gap 'in the wall where a driver had died just before.

In a split' second the car had overturned and was perched on the wall, but its occu- pants were only bruised. could not expect to be so fortunate forever, yet he rode on and on. Matlock did not have to have good luck to remain in the thick of his hazardous callings. "Why automobile race drivers and stunt men continue to risk their necks in the face of so many terrifying examples is hard to say. Certainly, there are safer ways of making, a Perhaps old 'Reggie McNamara spoke for -them, too, when he was asked: "What are you going to do, die on a bike?" "Naw," replied the 52-ySar-old pedal pusher, "I'll die if they take off one." Pi ttsliiircrK SKATING MEET IS SCHEDULED National Title Event to Draw Speed and Dash Stars of Nation PETOSKEY, Feb.
