School Fives Scrap for Second Place Pacini Bids Again for Top Pin Spot THREE TEAMS VIE TO EASTERN Double-Header Tomorrow May Settle in Choice Spot. WITH Eastern "in" with the championship, interest in the fest-waning public high school basket ball series now centers tn the struggle for place. Western and Tech still are in the running for the runner-up poet and even Central has a mathematical chance of gaining a tie. The situation doubtless will be elarified considerably tomorrow, when Western meets Roosevelt at Roosevelt and Central meets its time-honored ioe. Tech.

on the Tech court. Both games will start at 3:30 o'clock. Western, which now holds second place with four wins and two defeats, can assure itself of at least a tie by defeating Roosevelt. The Red polished oil the Ruf Riders, S3-17, In their first clash, and are expected to down Coach Lynn Woodworth's charges again, although if Roosevelt plays anywhere near the way it did against Eastern Tuesday It may pull an upset. It will be the last game of the series for the Riders, who have lost all seven of their starts.

Tech, which has three victories and as many losses as its record, must trim Central if it is to remain in the running for second place. The Gray took Central over the hurdles, 30-16, In their first-round match and is favored to triumph again. After tomorrow Tech's only series game will be with Eastern next Tuesday end Western's lone remaining test will be Central the same day. These mines will end the series. Eastern G.

U. Froeh. ONE of the most interesting matches involving a schoolboy quint here this season will be that bringing together the crack championship Eastern team and Georgetown's great freshman five tomorrow night at Tech at 7:30 o'clock. It will be the preliminary to the G. U.

Varsity-New York U. game. Eastern is set for a determined fight against the Hoya Cubs. The game will give fans a chance to compare the merits of Capt. Lavelle tDopej Dean.

Eastern's ace player, and Tommy Nolan, outstanding Eastern player a year ago, who now is holding forth with the Georgetown frosh. Harry Bassin, another former Easterner, will play against his old mates. Bassin performs as a forward for the Blue and Gray yearlings. Buddy Nau, Oarroll Shore and Mario Gregorio, all former sterling high school players, are other leading members of the G. U.

froeh squad. Georgetown Prep will meet Landon to the letter's gym, and WashingtonLee High engages Alexandria High at Alexandria in other games in scholastic circles hereabout tomorrow, involving old rivalries. Georgetown Prep and Landon meet at 3:30, and Washington-Lee and Alexandria at 8 p.m. in Armory Hall, Alexandria. OLD CHAMPS AT DINNER Judge, Bluege to Attend Testimonial to Manager Harris.

WEEK-END DATES HAVE ALL ACTIVE (Continued From First Page.) the advantage for the home team, the floors that are played on while away from home are regulation, and many of them are not. On the floor that is not regulation the familiarity of the home players Is big advantage.

MERICAN UNIVERSITY also goes off on a trip, starting tonight and winding up Saturday. The Eagles are at Hampden-Sidney this evening and tomorrow and Saturday play at Lynchburg College. Cards Are Favored. Catholic university apparently will have all the advantage In its contests with Baltimore University and Virginia Military Institute, both of which are to be played away. The basket ball team is going at such a paoe that It seems highly Improbable that It will drop lte game with the Baltimoreans, while the boxers, If they live up to past performances, are good enough to take Virginia, Military Institute without extending themselves very much.

Either ot the schools the are to visit might upset the dope, and an upset in either case would eause a lot of surprise. GAT.TiAUDET plays basket ball tomorrow at the Maryland State Normal School at Towson and Saturday at home with Port Myer. The Gallaudet wrestlers meet the Seth Low Junior College squad at Brookland. BESIDES the basket ball games it plays away, George Washington has at home a rifle match with Western Maryland and a swimming meet with Washington and Lee, the fermer Friday and the latter Saturday.

STATE COLLEGE, February in their first two meets with Cornell and Miami, Penn State's boxers will step in the ring with the Maryland mittmen at College -Park tomorrow and attempt to even scores for a setback from the Old Liners last year. Coach Leo Houck, formerly a contender for the professional middleweight championship, has one of the best-balanced teams in his college coaching experience, which began at Penn State in 1923. As a nucleus to start the year he had two intercollegiate champions and one National A. A. U.

so the Maryland meet will be his first. He was Ineligible last month against Cornell and Miami. State's ti am will be captained by Mike I Zeleznock, undeieated since his sopho- more year, and Eastern Intercollegiate champion at 125 pounds. The Nittany Lions have another champion in Russell Criswell, 115pounder. but the bantamweight probably will not face the since he has been having trouble making weight this year.

The lightest weight division, however, will be well cared for by Francis McAndrews, who won both his bouts this season. The remainder of Penn State's team probably will line us as follows: 135 pounds, Larry Madison; 145 pounds, Frank Goodman; 155 pounds, Lou Ritzie: 165 pounds, Fred O'Neal or Tom Hogan; 175 pounds.

George Washington's basket quint was back on the victory standard today after a brief lay-off following an impressive 42-to25 win over Wake Forest last night In the Colonial gymnasium.

It was the tenth triumph in 14 starts for the George Washingtons. With Ben Goldfadden playing perhaps best game of the season, the Colonials took the lead at the outset and never were headed. The closest the Deacons could come to the fastpassing locals was to a 20-30 count At the half George Waahlngton was In front by 25 to 12. To top scorers of both teams, Goldfadden counted eight times from the field and twice from the foul line for 18 points. Doyt Morris, viilting forward, was next with 15 points, seven of which were garnered from the free-throw line.

VkinMl 19894 ACE OF TENPINNERS. PAP BOWLING TOURNEY LEADER HAS GRIT Tardy of Recognition, He Now Is Declared One of Greatest Ever. BY ROD THOMAS. THEY used to call It the "suicide set," the final block of the Howard Campbell Sweepstakes, a test that has ruined the careers of several crack bowlers. Swinging into the last five-game roll with handsome margins, they stumbled miserably, the victims of cracked confidence, and never have made the grade back to the big time.

But all the money In creation couldn't scare the leader of the current sweepstakes. Ollie Pacini. The final aet to be rolled next Saturday night at Convention Hall will find the star of the Northeast Temple in the spot he likes a load under pressure. Some are reluctant to pass Judgment, but Pacini is one of the greatest exponents of duckpins ever to play the game. Quiet and almost colorless, and lacking the spectacular speed that marks the delivery of most star bowlers of the day, he moves along an even way, seldom sensational, but always In an upper strata.

Just Another Set for Him. PACINI will handle the last set in the Campbell Sweepstakes as though it were a familiar task, I and probably make a neat, workmanlike job of It. One of the twenty others in the tournament may shoot a whopper, "far above his head," and top Pacini's 15-game score, but only in this manner, we believe, will he be beaten. Pacini was a long time convincing the critics of his class. Four years ago, when the late Len Collins proposed him for the No.

1 ranking of the Washington City Duckpin Association, the Ranking Committee paid next to no attention. In compiling figures for his history of duckpins Collins was impressed with Pacini's averages, none of them sensational, but all of high order. "This fellow." declared Collins, "is the best 1er in Washington." Pacini was listed in the "Big Ten" that year largely out of respect to Collins, but Len's spotlight concen- trated attention on Ollie. He was watched more closely the following season, with the result that the dapper Italian not only was ranked No. I by the Washington City Duckpin Association, but by the National Duckpin Bowling Congress.

He was acclaimed the best duckpin shooter in the country. He was rated similarly the following year. Last season he was dethroned by Joe Harrison, but put up a battle. And now he's back with another strong bid for the highest award in the game. A victory In the Campbell Sweepstakes, plus several fat league averages, would give him a stiff argument.

Dawson Steps Out. HARRY DAWSON, one of Caleb O'Connor's new assistants at the Recreation, shot 448 last night for an all-time record in the Recreation League. His strings were 150, 157 and 132. Lefty Allen, who used to manage the Northeast Temple, was heard from the first time in many a moon when he rolled 428 for a season record in the Commercial League, shooting with the Continental Baking team. A 609-game probably put the Pay Roll team In the pay-off of the H.

O. L. C. League. Two season records for the Department of Commerce League were marked up by the Airways team with 597 and 1,616.

A bowler with a 90 average, A. H. Elliott, shot 157 in the Yards and Docks League. Billie Butler, making a big try for the championship of the Ladles' District League, fattened her average with a 387 set and helped the Bill Woods to a clean sweep over the champion Lucky Strikes. SNOW ST.

I.W. "Ivy League" Becomes "Big Eight" as Brotcn Is Welcomed Into Fold of Ancient Schools BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Spcrti Editor. NEW YORK, February so-called "Ivy League," which Is In the process of formation among a group of the older Eastern universities, r.ow seems to have welcomed Brown Into the fold and automatically assumed the proportions of a "big eight." Brown not only Is a natural rival of most of the colleges Involved, In foot ball as well as other sports, but the Bruins can point with pride to an academic history dating back to 1764.

This is short of the standards In longevity and tradition set by Harvard and Yale, founded in 1636 and 1701, respectively, but It comes pretty close to making Brown a charter member of the "Ivy League." More significant, however, is the fact that the Brown foot ball schedule for 1936 reveals relations with no less than five of the seven universities currently banded together in base baU, basket ball and track athletics, while also working out plans for the formation of a foot ball conference. The Bruins are slated to play Harvard, Dartmouth, Pennsylvania, Yale and Columbia next year. It should be noted In particular that Brown has substituted Columbia for Colgate, a long-standing rival, on its 1936 slate and will meet the Lions In the season's climactic engagement. "baby" of the proposed conlerence, having been founded only 70 years Princeton have cordial relations with Brown, even though neither is In position to schedule the Bruina regularly. The idea, however, Is not to islolate the conference or "Ivy League" from competition with other colleges.

In fact, so far as foot ball Is concerned, four games within the group probably will be considered par for any season. Ail other indications point to the rapid sealing of agreements calculated to bring about the new lineup of old Eastern universities in foot ball, not only as a natural development of the leagues already in operation In other sports, but to standardize methods and practices In the gridiron game. It is no secret that the colleges involved are definitely committed to a policy of playing within their own foot ball class, while also yielding to the Influences of tradition. Friction has been eliminated by the friendly resumption of old rivalries and the creation of some new ones. Within the "big eight," as now proposed, foot ball schedules now have been so arranged that by 1938 there will be a natural climax pairing for all concerned.

The line-up together Harvard and Yale, Princeton and Dartmouth. Cornell and Pennsylvania. Columbia and Brown for the season's concluding engagements, all likely to stand the test of long-term relationships. Suggestions that Army and Navy might be Included in a new Eastern conference to make it a "big ten," encounter several barriers. In the first place, both service academies must play a number of intersectional games each season, in response to political pressure as weh as national interest.

They could not be tied to any iron-clad agreements with a restricted group, although both academies now enjoy and will contlnue to have friendly relations with the members of the "Ivy Leasue." Another obstacle is West Point's refusal to adopt the three-year varsity rule, although this Is no longer a point of issue so far as Annapolis is concerned. Fights Last Night By the Associated Press.

Boxing Board Turns Down Proposed Everett Foe, but Okays Boros. THE stamp of approval Is placed on the Buck EverettA1 Boroe heavyweight boxing bout today, but If Promoter Charlie Cornell Insiste on showing Prankie Hughes.

Western welterweight, he must do so in a preliminary bout and nothing more. This was the ruling of the District Boxing Commission, which met yesterday to pass on Boros' fitness as an opponent for Everett In a 10-round match to be held next Monday in the Washington Auditorium. After looking up the youthful Bridgeport, boy's record, the ring soions decided Boros was capable of extending Everett to the limit, if not capable of beating the Gary, fighter. Because of Hughes' pathetic showing early in the Winter against Morris Sherman at the Riding and Hunt Club, the commissioners advised Cornell to confine Frankie's efforts to a preliminary bout Instead of using him in a semi-final, as planned by the promoter. 1 MILLERS GET BET.T.ANJE.
