VIRGINIA u. ATHLETE
PROVES HIS METTLE

UNIVERSITY. Va, March 9.-How-
ard A. Holland. three-letter man at
Virginia, who has been selected by
sport writers of Atlanta one of
the eight best basket ball players in
action during the Southern Confer
ence tournament, is an example of
an athlete who entered the univer-
sity with only average ability. but
who has developed into an outstand-
ing star in three branches of sport.
In the Fall of 1920 Holland entered
Virginia with a reputation as a good
high school athlete and he lived up
to expectations by making his nu-
neral in foot ball basket ball and
base ball on the first-year teams of
that session.
Then he almost fell out of sight
as far as athletics were concerned.
But though he did not make the
varsity in either foot ball or basket
ball during his second year. he kept
plugging away At all three games and
a season later he was rewarded with
the ~ for his work in the box as
a member of the base ball team of
1922.
In foot ball Holland had been work
ing as an end through the seasons of
'21 and '22 before Coach Earle Neale
in 1928 recognized his possibilities as
tackle and shifted him to this posi-
ton where he won his letter last
Fall, and last season became one of
the best linemen in the South, win
ming mention from many writers.
Holland also tried for the basket
ball team two years before winning
q place as forward. He might have
been substitute center in his second
year, but illness kept him from the
game for weeks. This Winter he has
been VirGinia's high-point man and
easily the outstanding forward with
in the State.

CLEAvES HOLDS TOP
IN BASKET SCORING

While Princeton's basket ball team
clinched the intercollegiate League
championship by defeating Columbia
on Saturday, and Dartmouth dropped
Iits third straight game, Steve Cleaves,
the Tiger captain, maintained his
lead in the individual scoring race
With the teams coming down the
home stretch this week high scoring
honors seem to rest between Cleaves
and Jim Lemon, his teammate.
Cleaves was held to a single basket
by Al Mannheim of Columbia, but
scored 5 points from the foul line, so
boosted his total to SIS. Lemon. the
star OF the Tigers triumph, account
ed for four field goals, and as re
suit holds second place, with So
counters. Cleaves' total is made up
OF 21 field goals and 13 foul points.
while Lemon has registered % bas-
kets from the floor and 9 from the
foul line.
Lemon and Friedman are tied for
the honor of scoring the greatest
number of field goals, for each has
Gagged the ball from the floor %
times. Cleaves has accounted for one
goal less.
Five games this week will bring
the league season to a close and, un-
less the rejuvenated Penn quintet
conquers Princeton at Philadelphia on
Saturday, Coach Al Wittmer's Orange
and Black charges are likely to COM
plete their campaign without a set
hack
