Tennis' Glamour Girl Rated Title Threat In Indoor Meet •y *h» Auoclatad Pr»*» NEW YORK, Mar. 22.—This is the year in which Georgeous Gussie expects to convince the tennis world she can be useful as well as ornamental on the courts. Georgeous Gussie. as she is known on the tennis circuit, is Gertrude Moran, a 25-year-old suntanned beauty »from Santa Monica, Calif. Long the unchallenged queen of glamour among the feminine net brigade, Gussie jumped from ninth to fourth in the national rankings in the past year, and is seeded first among the women in the National Indoor championships now under way here. “I haven’t rested since the Nationals last summer,” said Gussie, who suprised a lot of people when she beat Doris Fart at Forest Hills in September and then scared the daylights out of Margaret du Pont before bowing in the semifinals. Never Figured Game Before. “I’ve practiced at least two hours every day for the past six months under Dick Skeen, who used to be Louise Brough’s coach. He’s done wonders for my game. “It isn’t so much what he’s done for my ground play. It’s the advice he’s poured into my head. I never figured this game out before.” , Now that she’s serious about the game. Gussie is determined to make a bid for the United States and Wimbledon championships if she wraps up the indoor crown. She turned in her second straight-set triumph of the tour nament yesterday when she beat Helen Germaine of New York." 6—2. 6—1, to enter the quarter finals. Four men's singles matches were scheduled today, with the winners advancing to the quarter-finals. Gonzales Drops First Set. Defending Champion Billy Tal bert of New York, seeded second, meets Leslie Devoe of Princeton, N. J., Jean Borotra, 55-year-old! French veteran who has won the! title four times, takes on seventh seeded Fred Kovaleski of Detroit; Earl Cochell of San Francisco, I seeded third, meets Gus Ganzen muller of Sea Cliff. N. Y„ and Ed McGrath of Brooklyn, rated eighth, plays Dick Seeler of Belle- ; rose, N. Y. The women's quarter-final tests on the day's schedule send Mrs. Helen Rihbany of Boston, seeded second, against Nina Irwin of New York and Nancy Chaffee of Ven tura, Calif., seeded fourth, against Althea Gibson of New York. Richard (Pancho) Gonzales, the outdoor champion seeded No. 1 dropped his first set yesterday as he ousted Dr. Reginald Weir of New York, former National Negro champion, 6—3, 3—6. 6—4. Others who progressed to the men's quarter-finals yesterday were former champion Don Mc Neill, Irvin Dorfman and Lester. Hirschheld of New York. Outdoors —With Bill Leetch This is National Wildlife Res toration Week. It is sponsored each year by the National Wildlife Federation, an educational, non profit organiza tion, to make Americans con servation - con scious. This is its 12th annual observance and this year it co incides with the Department of the Interior's centennial an niversary which marks the end of the first cen tury of con servation in the United States Bill Lertcta. Calling for public observance ui the occasion, Fish and Wildlife Service Director Albert M. Day dates that the problem of wildlife conservation are “as varied and changing as the resources we seek to conserve.” “Yet basically,’ he aays, “the problem is ever the same; how to keep the level of wildlife populations high enough to satisfy the demands of modern civiliza tion, a civilization which demands more and more benefits from this resource, yet which by almost every act impairs or destroys the con ditions that wildlife needs in order to survive.” Americans look to these wildlife resources for many things. In a broad sense, the wild animals and birds and the fishes of the inland waters are a great recreational resource, although large economic values are involved in the pursuit of hunting and fishing. The marine fishes, while affording much in the way of recreation, primarily are a commercial resource to which we look for several billion pounds of food and related products each year. Day doubts if there ever has been a time when our country has consciously demanded more of both groups of wildlife than the present. There are many pressures on widlife besides hunting and fish ing, pressures exerted by unfa vorable environment. Marsh drainage, admission of salt water into fresh water marshes, diver sions of rivers, pollution of waters and the general advance of in dustrial and urban settlements into wilderness - areas constantly reduce the amount of land suit able for wildlife occupancy. "Our efforts to oppose these un favorable influences are contin uing without abatement,” Day as serts. “A wide sympathy toward the conservation philosophy by our citizens, who investigate for themselves the relationship be tween the wise use of soil, water, plant life and the national wel fare, will make our task easier.” Auto Glass immediate service SPECIAL PRICES FOR TAXICABS Dor Latcbei Itntnl Open All D»y Saturday* HERSON'S 72 Fla. Ave. N.E. Ml. 7100 Don't Boo the Poor Ring Judge, He's Trying to Pick a Winner By Lewis F. Atchison Joe Aronoff, who has been around boxing long enough to know a referee from a right cross, thinks it’s time fight fans, especially those who follow the amateurs, learned something about the game’s fine points I and quit booing officials. “People boo decisions and don't know why,” says the vet eran' AAU judge, who cam paigned as a welterweight him self around the turn of the century and who has seen more amateur scraps than a hen pecked husband. “Most of thpm never read a rule book and don’t pay strict attention to the fight, but#if their man 1 doesn’t win, they boo anyway.” Joe points to a recent de cision awarded Pete Celinski of St. Mary’s Boys’ Club as a good ! example. . “Some fans thought Pete j butted, heeled and generally j fought a ‘dirty’ fight,” he said, “but he didn’t. In close quar ters Celinski goes into a dance, trying to get far enough away to throw a punch, and the fans thought he was trying to butt the other fellow. He was land ing hard, clean uppercuts—he’s one of the best upper-cutters at close quarters I’ve ever seen—and they thought he was hepling. He won by a country mile, but the spectators thought he should have been penalized for ‘illegal’ tactics. They simply couldn't interpret what they saw.” In another bout, one of the contestants slapped his op ponent around at a merry clip, landing at least two blows to one. but he didn't get the nod. "He seldom struck a blow except with an open glove,” explained Joe. "He was a step per, not a puncher, and the rule book permits scoring only blows delivered wTith a clenched fist" Some people don't even know how points are scored, Joe argues. Under AAU rules, j which are essentially the same the world over, the winner of a round gets 20 points. In col- 1 lege boxing, it's 10 and in pro bouts if is up to the various State commissions. Some use points and others score by ; rounds only. Joe thinks you ought to Know how an AAU judge scores a fight. He begins by tallying points for the fighter who first takes the offensive. The party of the second part merely cuts down the margin until they’re all even, then he starts accumu lating a margin of his own. Winner of the round automati cally gets 20 points. The loser’s sco?e, now pay attention, is determined this way: Say the winner had an edge of 12 punches, or marks. That's divided by three. The result, 4 points,- is subtracted * from 20, giving the loser a total of 16 points. Total point scores at the end of three rounds de termines the winner of the bout. A clean knockdown auto matically wins a round for the man scoring it. The loser’s tally depends on how well he recovers, but even if he swarms all over his,opponent he can’t win the round unless he squares that knockdown by getting one for himself. In college bouts, the officials must score blows landed by each fighter. A winning round is worth 10 points and the loser’s score is a matter of sim ple computation. In dual meets, when a boy's eye is cut the referee must stop the bout. If this occurs in the first round, the result is an automatic draw. After that, the man ahead on points wins—even if it was his eye that was cut. In tourna ments, the man ahead when the fight is halted gets the nod. “And don’t forget,” reminds Joe, “there is no such thing as a draw in amateur bouts. If it’s a tie score, the officials must decide the winner on ag gressiveness, ring generalship, etc. College bouts can end in draws, except in tournaments.” Finally, don’t think the man who finishes strong and takes the last round by a wide margin always wins the fight. Maybe the other fellow piled up enough points in the first two rounds to withstand his whirlwind finish. Joe recommends rule books as compulsory reading for both fans and contestants. “It'll make the game more enjoyable for everybody,” he says. "Besides, I'm getting a tin ear.” Middlecoff May Be Answer To Search for New Golf Star 1/ the Associated frets JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Mar. 22. —Golf’s long search for a new star may be ended. A Memphis dentist—28-year-old Cary Middlecoff—is going great on the winter tour. He has all the shots from tee to green. He’s shown he’s strong under pressure. And he gives no indication of slowing up. This upcoming young par buster has won three of the last five major tournaments. He was run nerup in the other two. Those victories have lifted Mid dlecoff to tlys top of the money department for 1949. If he keeps going that way—or even close to it—Middlecoff has 14 GPO Teams to Go To U. S.

I With nine men’s and five wom en’s teams, the GPO representa tion will send Washington’s entry over the 60-team mark. This is one of the largest ever to com pete in an out-of-town national event. Over the years it has mainly been the untiring efforts of Chilly Barnard, head of the GPO Rec reation Association, who has helped to keep the bowlers from Uncle Sam's big print shop in the fore of the duckpin game. Only recently 200 competed in a tour nament in honor of Lafayette. Last year he was named the sixth vice president of the NDPBC. The list of GPO teams follow: Women.

Calif., were close all year on the heels of the little man from Hershey, Pa. When he pocketed $2,000 for winping the Jacksonville Open yesterday, Middlecoff had col lected $8,056.66 in PGA-sponsored tournaments since January 1. Mangrum. who had been lead ing until then, got $750 for a fourth-place tie. and stands sec ond at $7,207.50. E. J. Harrison of Albuquerque went into third place at $6,425 on the strength of his third-place $1,000. That doesn't exactly give Mid dlecoff domination of the golf pic ture. But all he has to do is keep up his pace of the last five weeks and he'll get there fast. Little Jerry Barber of Los An geles was the only entrant to threaten Middlecoff on the last day. He whipped up a 65 and took second money of $1,400' at 276. Middlecoff had a 274. Har rison’s third place score was 278. Skee Riegel of Tulsa, with 284, was the best of the amateurs.

Oliver started wading rfght Into Petro’s punches as though he was going to make a good fight of it„ He was giving as good as he was taking until a left hook to the middle put him on the floor for a nine-count. He got up from that and went down again from another left to the body. Up and down again, and this time Referee Charley Reyn olds counted 10. In another scheduled eight rounder on the all-star card that didn’t go the route, Art Llanos, Puerto Rican featherweight, got a technical knockout over Lou Yonkers, District bantam, in the fifth.

Somebody said that this was the time of year that all golfers promise to cut five strokes off their game. ”Jamy” added that he would be satisfied just to shoot 69s all season. But the Quantico pro, a deep thinker in all phases of golf, was on one of his pet subjects. “I can take five strokes off the aver age player’s game if he will come to me for lessons, at this time of year and leave his troubles behind him. Any of us can. “The average golfer will come out for a lesson—say at 4 o’clock,” Jamy continued. “He probably will have to rush away from the office, drive like a madman to the club and either be in a hurry to finish the lesson so he can play nine holes, or to get home for dinner. “You can’t learn anything un der those circumstances. How can a man or woman concentrate with all that on the mind? If I give anybody a lesson I want him to think about the golf shot he’s about to hit and that’s all. If he’s thinking about anything else, both of us are wasting our time. “After a golfer gets straight ened out with a few lessons in the spring he should take a club and swing it in the back yard for 15 or 20 minutes a day, swing it slowly. But even then he should think about what he’s doing. Golf is 75 per cent concentration. But most people don’t realize that.” AUTO GLASS NEW LOW PRICES Inttalltd Whilm You Wait STANDARD AUTO GLASS 624 N St. N.W.

"I’ve never seen Lew play more beautiful golf,’’ Hardy added. “I dort’t see how he can miss in every tourna ment he enters.” Bill said Lew and Demaret were “robbed” when they lost in the Miami semifinals to the cham pions, Ferrier and Middlecoff.

Cap hopes for going all the way through the postseason series were brighter today, however, as Feerick removed the cast from his ailing knee and Scolari unwrapped his fractured middle finger. Al though resigned to seeing all of the initial series with Philadelphia from a .sideline seat, both think (they have a chance of sneaking into action. Removal of the casts is regard ed as significant, even though Feerick doesn’t know how his knee will respond to light action and Scolari can’t handle the ball prop erly. They might be the spark needed by the Caps in a tight pinch to get ’em over the hump, however, and both hope to be ready to respond. Mounting interest in the series opener at Philadelphia tomorrow was reflected today in subscrip tions for the special excursion that will take a sizable delegation of Washingtonians to the game. Reservations may still be made by telephoning Franklin 5800 before 6 p.m. for a package deal, includ ing transportation and a seat at the game, for $10.10. The Caps apparently are in hot water in this series. They have won 13 and lost only five games to the Warriors in three years of BAA competition but never have met them in a postseason game. Philadelphia, a great money team, won the playoff crown two years ago and last year was runner up to Baltimore. With Feerick and Scolari still on the doubtful list, Rochester, paced by Arnie Risen and Bob Davies, rules a favorite to pick up all the marbles. In nosing out Minneapolis by one game for the Western division title the Royals marked up winning streaks of 13, 10 and 5 games. The Caps ran up the longest streak when they won 15 straight at the beginning oLthe season. Last-place Indianapolis halted the Caps’ splurge on December 7. Providence lost the most games in a row—12, while the Caps’ longest losing streak was 4, as compared to 9 for Philadelphia. Minneapolis never lost more than two games in a row and Roches ter’s longest plunge was three. Chicago dominated the century mark scoring parade, soaring to 100 points or more in nine games, two of them against the Caps. Ro chester registered 100 or more points in eight games and Min neapolis turned the trick five times. The Caps did it twice, both times against Providence, with scores of 102 and 100. Minneapolis and Baltimore staged the biggest scoring spree, throwing in 229 points in a dou ble-overtime contest, won by the Lakers, 115-114. There were 13 other games in which more than 200 points were tallied. The Caps figured in one of them, a 106-95 loss to Chicago. Biggest individual output in a I single game was made by Joe j Fulks of the Warriors when he ! bucketed 63 points against India ; napolls. The second game of the Wash ington-Philadelphia series will be played at Uline Arena Thursday night and a third, if necessary, will be staged at Uline Saturday night. ADVERTISEMENT.

Mar. 22.—The Washington Caps got none of the four all-America courtmen among nearly 100 college stars drafted at yesterday's session of the Basket Ball Association of America, but Coach Red Auerbach picked a prize plum in Jim Lacy of Loyola of Baltimore, an astute floor gen eral and expert ball handler. The tall, raven-haired sharp shooter, currently playing in the National Catholic tournament at Denver topped a list of seven men selected by the Caps. Others were Maynard Haithcock of George Washington, Pete Clark of Mount St. Mary’s, Wallace (Wah Wah) Jones and Cliff Barker of Ken tucky and Jim Owens and Hank Hethering of Baylor. All-American Tony Lavelli of Yale went to the Boston Celtics, while Indianapolis took Kentucky’s Alex Groza. The St. Louis Bombers drafted Ed Macfiuley of St. Louis U. and the Chicago Stags picked Ralph Beard of Kentucky.

The Bullets passed him up on the first go-round be cause they needed a tall man. They have yet to complete a deal with the New York Knickerbock ers which, it is feared, will take their tallest man. Auerbach said he had not dis cussed contracts with any of the players but that he had talked to Jones and was certain he would play basket ball. Coach Cecil Isbell of the Baltimore football Colts is here and presumably has talked with Jones about a grid iron career. The Wildcat star was drafted by the Colts and Chicago Bears of the National League. He is a good end and was sought by the Washington Redskins. Lacy, at last reports, was cool toward a pro career, but Auerbach thinks he might be persuaded to take a fling at the game for an attractive salary. The Cap coach denied drafting the boy with the Idea of later using him as bait for a deal with Baltimore or any other club.
