World's Champions Give JDapper American Professional i Will Oppose Compston irf Latter's Own Back Yard "9 BY ALAN J.

GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, March 27 (A.P.). There is no golfing law, such as i there is in boxing, to compel Walter Hagen to defend his world's match play title at least every six months i'but the dapper American profes sional doesn't do any dodging on that account. 5 Sir Walter is doing no side stepping whatever by accepting terms for a 72 hole match with toe long hitting British star, Archie Comps 2ton, in the latter's own back yard f. April 27 and 28. Hagen is going abroad to take another fling at the British open championship again anyway.

The "battle with Compston probably ap 'peals to him as a good way to get warmed up. But without having had much Winter competition on this side, Hagen is running the risk "taking it on the chin" from the ig onion, wno is omix, nuc a heavyweight boxer, and hits the Stall like one. Hagen wears the crown lor match 'Minn (.1411 1 veteran has tackled anybody in sight in the last few years without a conspicuous defeat on his escut cneon that can be recalled off hand. except at the hands of little Gene savazen. 1 Abe Mitchell.

Bobby Jones, Cyril Walker and ether champions have tumbled before Hagen's brilliant march. Waiter hasn't won tiie open Championship of either Great Britain or America since 1924, at Tnedal play, but he hasn't been beaten since that time in the American professional championship, at jna.tch play. Jones has mastered the knack of match play as weil as stroke competition but the great Georgian is still essentially a medal player. JMatching shots with old man pai, Bobby seems to get his game in its best working order when he is flicking 'm off against this imaginary foe. Hagen's main urge, on the other hand, comes in the man toman battle of the links, although he has also, gone on many a wild scoring spree.

In other words Bobby prefers to shadow box with the old man of ihe links while Walter prefers to swap punches on the spot. STANDING OF CLUBS IN PROTESTANT LOOP Standing of Teams fW. L. Kim Park 8 2 Providence M. E.

The Original Celtics furnished local fans with about Blue and Gold Suffers Third Loss of Season at Hands of Borough Cagers BLUE AND WHITE HAS LEAD THROUGHOUT GAME Roberts and Wywiorski Star for Coach Ratajski's Crew.

Kafchinski Gets 4 Points Central high school, District 2 champions, lost its third game of the season and with it the championship of the annual scholastic basketball tournament in being defeated by Coach Ratajski's Duryea high school team, 18 to 14, before a capacity crowd at the Dunmore Pavilion last night. Twice during the regular league campaign the Blue and Gold triumphed over the Blue and White of the Luzerne borough school, but the down valley team more than evented the past reversals in win ning last night. A beating at East scrouasDurg aunng the league cam paign and a loss to Hazleton in the drive towards the state title were the only other times Coach Lou Hutto's machine came out on the short end of the score this season. As a result of Duryea's victory, i our teams nave now won the an nual tournament twice. Central.

Taylor and Technical have possessed the title and in beating the Blue and Gold, Duryea enters the ranks of two time winners. Car bondale, Dunmore, Archbald and Forest City have failed to cop a championship. Throughout the tussle, Duryea held the upper hand. Central failed to even tie the score during the battle. The borough team never played together all season as it did last night, while central seemed bewildered by the aggressiveness of the Blue as'l White.

Twice the teams were held scoreless for an entire period. Central was shutout during the first period. fwhile Duryea piled up 6ix points. In the second quarter Duryea was unable to register a single tally, while the Blue and Gold, thanks to Bill Gordon, reliable guard, shot a field goal from the Center of the court. The first half ended at 6 to 2.

Duryea leading. Dw'ea continued to wage the offensive during the closing periods. Led by Roberts, the Blue and White players snot timeiy neia goais ana always managed to hold an edge on the district champions. The teams clashed furiously in the final period and at times it seemed as if the game was getting away from the officials, Mannle Cohen and Dale Richards. Duryea failed to score from the foul line, while Central made six points from the fifteen foot mark.

All the participants in the struggle broke irfo the scoring with Roberts leading for high honors with six Doints. He. together with Wywior ski, were the only players to garner more than one neia goal, uenirai high scorers, Lenchitsky, Butfcerly and Coyne, au were nmuea to a lone two pointer.
