TlEATHERS slightly ruffled, the -L Johns Hopkins University iic-(. irtirr and student council tii: patched a resolution toduy to the Philadelphia National League baseball club demanding "suitable satisfaction" for betaking the Xiickname Blue Javs for the erstwhile Phillies.

The monicker had been a treasured property of University athletic teams for 68 years before the Philadelphia usurpation, described as a "reprehensible act u-faich' brought disgrace and dishonor to the good name of the Johns Hopkins University." Dr. Wilson Shaffer, Hopkins athletic director, reacted quickly scientific ally when the name, Philadelphia- Jays, chosen in a public contest, hopped forth, and said the club should use the generic term Cyanocitta Cris-tata. But not the students. They didn't explain whether "satisfaction" would entail bats at 10 feet with or without a catcher's mask, or just plain and fancy pop bottle slinging at unlimited range. Quoting the cold, stark league records, the agitated scholars set forth that the Phils, among other things "Have finished in the National League cellar more frequently than any other team, 15 times to be specific.

"Have lost 100 or more games for 12 seasons. "Have only once since 1918 finished in the first division, and only once since 1876 won the National League championship. "Their pitching staff has included John Coleman, who in 1883 lost 43 games. "Their untimely hitting during the season of 1929 gave them the all-time mark for men left on bases, some 1257." By contrast, the students said Hopkins lacrosse teams had grained international fame and that track, fencing and wrestling teams had won league titles despite a strictly de-emphasized sports prosram maintained "even to the extent of charging no admission fee." SAW BOYS PLAY RAGGED Bob Carpenter, president of the Philadelphia National League baseball club, came right back last night at the student council of John Hopkins University, Baltimore, which accused his outfit of lifting" the nickname Blue Jays which the collegians have used as their tag for 68 years. "Why.

they haven't won a ball game in 20 years, have they?" said Carpenter, "I saw their football team once, and boy, what a ragged outfit. "Bat, honestly, I have the highest respect for Johns Hopkins.

Fifty-four seconds before the final whistle Joe "Poker Face" Desson, burly defenseman. drove a puck into the net to break a 3-3 tie and give the Falcons a 4-3 victory over thp Brooklyn Crescents in the opening game of the Eastern League playoffs last night at the Arena before 3500 of whom 70 British and Canadian officers and men, navy and air corps who belong to the Cheerio Club, were guests of the management. It was Desson 's second goal of the night and with two assists gave him four points making him the outstanding man on the ice. The goal brought to a finish an evenly waged battle between two teams who played careful, smart hockey throughout the entire 60 minutes. From the opening moments neither team was able to gain any sort of an advantage.

The Falcons took a 1-0 lead in the first four minutes on a goal by Lemieux with Desson assisting, but the Crescents went out in front 2-1 before the end of the 20 minutes on points by Shero 'and Hank D'Amore. In the second period the locals scored twice to Brooklyn's once to make it 3-3. Then came the tightly waged final session and no score for 19 minutes until Desson tallied the winning point. On Saturday night the Falcons meet the Baltimore Coast Guard in the second game of the playoffs. STAN BAUMGARTNER I'i'S.

Allen has set another new record in the Army Services Forces Dhysteal efficiency tests, accordrng to word yesterday from the public relations office of the Special Service at Lexington, Va. With a score of 695, the former University of Pennsylvania football. basketball and track athlete both, smashed his own previous record of 690 and came within five points of theoretical perfection in a 90-minut test held last Friday, under the cl- rection of Major A. A. Esallnger.

a former Stanford University athlete. FROM FLYING FAMILY Allen, direct descendant of the Revolutionary War's Fort Ticonde-roga hero, grandson of a pioneer as cension, balloonist and star member of a famous family troupe known as The Flying Aliens, achieved his new- record by concentrating on the 300-yard run, one of seven prime tests frequently given enlisted men and officers to determine their physical condition. A 185-foot javelin thrower on Law-son Robertson's Penn track team before joining the Army in 1941, Allen ran 300 yards 150 yards one way, 150 yards back in 36 seconds, a full second faster than he negotiated the distance in his record test of two months ago. At that time he was so far above standards in the six other events that in four cases last week it was not even necessary for him to duplicate his performances. HE SCORED POINTS Carrying a 195-pouiid man on his shoulders, he ran 100 yards in 16- seconds, as compared with his previ ous time of performed 16 pull- ups compared with 18 previously, and 82 sit-ups, two less than before.

He equaled earlier accomplUhrnents in doing 72 squat Jumps and 44 pushups. Although individual performances in the divers events have been excelled Allen himself has done better his all-around average represents the best that lias ever been made in the Army. Army officials say that th tests nre usually given recruits on entering service, given again after six weeks nnd again following a six-week period to "demonstrate th benefits of his training program to the individual." THEY KNOW VALUE According to Army figures, "the average improvement ranges from 20 to 200 percent, which is indication enough of the value of the Army Service Forces physical efficiency training program." Allen, 25, six feet one inch and 135 pounds, left Penn as a junior in 1941 after receiving Ail-American football honorable mention as a fullback. Trained in Oeorgia. he became a sergeant, then attended Officers' Candidate School in Florida, ultimately winning a commission ia the Air Force.

Juan Zurita, giving away a pound and a half and working against 4-1 odds, tonight outfought Sammy Angott for 15 rounds to become the lightweight boxing champion of the world (NBA version) and the first Mexican-born fighter in history to take a major title.

The crowd of 15,000 watching the upset grow from the second round, went wild, jamming the Gilmore Field outdoor ring and carrying the 133 4 -pound Mexico City battler out on their shoulders. Angott. much slower than in his last appearance under the lights here, was outfought all the way. Angott was broken up on the eve of taking his physical examination for Army induction, and with his title bout with New York Champion Bob Montgomery only three weeks away, it was a bitter defeat. What would happen to Angott's March 31 match with Montgomery was not certain.

The upset was greater than ap peared in the official odds. Starting at 4-1. they grew to 7-1. with Zurita on the short end at ringtime. Mushy Callahan and the two other officials were unanimous in handing the decision to the challenger Though the margin never was large.

it was conclusive. The United Press scorecard gave Zurita 12 rounds, Angott two and one split. Angott took only the first and eighth rounds and earned an even break in the ninth. ELIZABETH. N.

Trout Stocked In Wissahickon Approximately 4000 trout were stocked in the Wissahickon Creek yesterday by State employes and sportsmen in preparation for the opening of the trout season. April 15.

The deposit consisted of 2000 rainbow and 1000 apiece of brook and brown trout, all of which were from seven to 22 inches in length. This was the first stocking of the stream since last fall. BURK DIRECTS The fish were brought here by truck from the Spring Creek Hatchery at Bellefonte. Under the direction of William Burk, special warden of the Pennsylvania Fish Commission, members of Philadelphia area fishing associations began the stocking at Bell's Mill Road Bridge. The Izaak Walton League, Pennsylvania Fish and Game, and -Holmesburg Fishing Associations all aided in the stocking.

From Bell's Mill Road Bridge, the truck moved along the stream, on a four-mile route, placing trout at seven different sites. This was the seventh consecutive year the historic stream has been stocked with trout. This procedure enables local sportsmen to angle in city-surrounded water. Other officials participating in the stocking were H. Morris Teaf, secretary of the Pennsylvania Fish Commission and Paul Ludtkey, deputy warden.
