catholic University bowed 10 Crescent
Athletic Club 81 TO 80.
1t Is doubtful if local schools ever
took part in games on the same nght
decided by such close margins. Inc
total margin of points in all three con
tests was only eight, Bucknell scoring
over Georgetown by >, Lafayette over
George Washington by 2, and Ores
cents over Catholic University by l.
Murphy, for BuCkneil, and Nork, for
Georgetown featured the game at the
Hilltop. The former was the chief
factor in his teams success, and de-
spite the fact that John ORiely sent
four men In at various times to cover
him, was not stopped. Nork threw
five goals for the Blue and Gray.
Lafayette and George Washington
D!ayed through a rough, hard contest,
in which the former had the better
OF the floor game. but did not make
GOOD on as great a percentage of its
throws from the foul line. Wallace.
thief scoring factor in the Hatchetite
lineup. was covered closely by the
Pennsylvanians.
The game Catholic University lost
was something of a heart-breaker.
With only 10 seconds 10 play and the
score standing a tie. 81 TO q, the
BrooklanderS missed a goal from the
foul line. Had that goal been made
the Brookland quint would have won,
IS to q, but as it was the game went
into an extra period. from which the
Crescents emerged with victory.
MARYLAND started only one regular
againSt Washington and Lee, but had
no difficulty taking the lead and hold
ing it. Linkous. Faber and TroXell
led in the scoring for the Old Liners,
each with three goals from the floor.
II was the second time this year that
MARYLAND has defeated Washington
and Lee the first victory having been
won at College Park before the holi-
days.

The resignation of Bill Fetzer, who
has been head coach of foot ball at
The University of North Carolina for
the last five years, in one way is
something of a surprise, but in an
other is not. Fetzer told the writer
a. year ago that he expected soon to
get out of foot ball and at the end
Of the last season made known his
intention to resign. It was not be-

However, his intention has been car

coach and select some one TO assist

l'etZcrS retirement from foot ball
marks tho departur" of one Of tho best
liked men associated With the game in
tho South. In years of experience in
college athletics the writer never has
heard any man say one word in criti-
cism of anything that Fctzer ever has
done. Nothing more than that need be
said of him. 1t is the highest Compli-
ment that could be paid.
Every man who has anything to do
with foot ball in the South will be
sorry that he will not again have the
pleasure of the gridiron association
with Bill TetZer.
