Bis GAME

In one Of the widest and most
exciting basketball games ever
seen in these parts, the University
of Maryland basketball team,
coached by Burton Shipley. former
Delaware College mentor, defeated
the Washington College qufnt in
the Maryland gym, 80 TO 26. The
loss broke two-yearWinning streak
for Washington.
The game was one of those rare
thriIlers that come along once in
every two or three years. The
teams were evenly matched, they
were popped up by rivalry. and
the gym was crowded to suffoca-
ton.
Maryland trailed soon after the
start OF the game, and at half
time the Byrdmen were on the
wrong end of 14-to-1S score.
Then ShipIey showed his hand,
which was capable reserves. Adams,
Linkous and Boyd were sent into
the battle fresh and full of fight.
They more than matched the
scoring of the visitors and when
the first team came back in, they
did the same. But it was those
reserves who did the trick.
Supplee, the elongated center.
was the hero of the game, He got
four baskets from scrimmage and
a foul shot. Maryland has now
won eight straight games.

WHITE SOX RICH
IN PITCHERS
By HAROLD JOHNSON

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.--One of the
problems to confront Eddie Collins
when he assumes the leadership
of the White Sox at Shreveport
next spring will center about the
pitching department. No fewer
than II candidates will be on the
scene and at least eight are skilled
performers.
Information relative to three Of
the rockies was offered yesterday
by Harry Gardiner. One of the
bright lights is Wallace Carney.
an Indian. from Ardmore. Okla,
where he compiled nineteen vic
tories while sustaining twelve de-
feats.
Kenneth Ash is returning from
Rocky Mount to file a bid for
recognition. He was one Of the
rockies on the training trip last
spring but failed to make the
grade and was returned to the
Piedmont circuit. Ash is a fast
ball finger Of high degree but
needed further schooling. During
the training trip he was afflicted
with sore arm but this trouble
disappeared after he arrived in
the minors.
Another rookie who is expected
to stir UP the attention of the Sox
scouts is Jim (Ginger) Carroll, a
right han finger who was found
in Muskogee of the Western Asso-
Citations. He saw action in 80
games, winning 16 and losing 10.
In 257 innings he famed PAS men.
He is 20 years old. six feet two
inches tall, and weighs 1872 pounds.
Another newcomer to the Pale
Hosed staff is Eddie McBee. of
Little Rock. In AZ games last
year this Highlander scored IA
winners and drew Is defeats. He
is % years old, six feet tall. and
weighs 100 pounds.
Chief Bender, who is coach OF
the Navy team, will not be among
those present when the South
Siders enter upon their training
activities on March J. He will join
the club, however. in June. and is
expected to lend considerable as
s1stance 10 the younger members
of the staff Just as he did last
year when he converted Ted
Blankenship into one of the most
valuable hurlers in the junior
