thusly unfairly and illegally col
lected such funds"

purpose of staging indoor contests.
The building is used for boxing wres-
Ting and other indoor sports. Since
the first game played in the building
early in January, Penn has not been

Maryland will start the team with
which it defeated North Carolina
Monday night. It's showing probably
will depend somewhat on the extent
TO which it has recovered from the
effects of that grueling game. Dean
and Faber will be at guards; Boyd
and Stevens at forwards; Adams at
center.
Yesterday afternoon University of
North Carolina turned the tables on
Maryland and won 81 to %. BY
agreement before the game, second
string players were used all through
the first half and the Tar Heel re-
serves ran up a 20-to-16 lead. The
game did not measure up to the con
test of the night before in any par
ticular, even after the regulars of
both teams took the floor at the be-
ginning of the second half.
Nanstory, center on the North Car
DINA quint, was the mainstay of
his team again. The hard game of
the day before did not seem to affect
him in the least and his efforts were
just as brilliant yesterday afternoon
as on Monday night.
North Carolina left here this morn
ing to play the Naval Academy this
afternoon at Annapolis. North Caro-
lima and Maryland meet again on
February 10 at Chapel Hill.
American University had little diff
ficulty taking the long end of the score
in its game with Gallaudet. The
Methodists got going right off the
reel and soon ran up a margin which
indicated that the size of the score
was about the only question. The
count at the end of the first half was
Is to 8. Banta and Kessler led the
Methodists in scoring, the former
hanging up Is points as his total.
probably the highest made by any col
lege player here this year. Banta's
scores were the result of nine goals
from the floor. Dyer and Bilger led
Gallaudet in toasting, the former with
points and the latter with 10.
In the all-college track and field
team recently selected by Fred Ruben,
editor of the annual track and field
annual, appear the names of Bill
Dowding and Tony Plansky of George
town. Dowding gets his place by vir-
tue of his excellent record as a broad
jumper, while Plansky is picked for
the all-round championships, which he
has won at Pennsylvania for the last
two years. Another man now at
Georgetown who has his name in
one of ''all" teams is Wildermuth,
member of the freshman track squad.
He was picked as the best scholastic
Splinter of the year on account of the
record he made in New York high
school

Made Record at Drake.

1t was at Drake last year, as will be
recalled, that he did the 100-yard dash
in 9.5 while the rain beat down, con
verting the track into the semblance
of rural highway. The wind was
blowing, to be sure, and in many quar-
ters to this fact has been attributed
Loclle's time.
The fact was, and has since been
overlooked, that the wind blew from
an angle that day, and was in fact,
more of a cross-current than a follow
ing wind.
Old Indian Schultz will take his

posed mainly of untried sophomores,

New Mexico will be met at Albu-

WIDE'S APPEARANCE
TONIGHT PROTESTED
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February "a pro-
test against the appearance of Edwin
Wide, Swedish middle distance star, in
a special event at the national indoor
CHAMPIONSHIPS of the Amateur Union
in Madison Square Garden, February
28 has been lodged with the A. A. U.
by Albert Geiger of Boston, on the
eve of Wide's American debut at the
Newark A. G. games, in Newark, N. j =,
tonight. The Swedish schoolmaster
conqueror of Paavo Nurmi, is SEIZED
uled to race from scratch in a $500
yard handicap test against a mediocre
field.
Geiger, chairman of the membership
committee of the New England A. A.
u, opposed Wide's running at the
national championships unless he is
willing to enter the same as other
athletes in the competitions. The idea
Of exhibition races should be, in my
opinion, eliminated"
Secretary Frederick w. Ruben, in
answering the communication, said
that no protest had been received
from the N. E. A. A. u. as body.
II can only attribute the protest of
Geiger to misunderstanding of
the nature of the competition
in which it is planned to have
Wide participate" Ruben said. There
never was any intention of having
Wide engage in an exhibition. He
consented to race four rivals at a dis
lance suitable to his convenience.
1--WE decided to have him appear in
a on-championship event because it
is unreasonable to expect him to run
for title when he might not be in
shape for races against the caliber of
opponents he would meet. He could
not be expected to agree to run now
against men like Lloyd Hahn of the
B. A. A. at a mile, or Willie Ritola and
Leo Lermond at two miles"

NAVY HAS BIG SPORT
CARD FOR SATURDAY

ANNAPOLIS, February "a re-
markable program of sports at the
Naval Academy Saturday will In
clude contests with Syracuse in three
lines OF sport, swimming, water
polo and fencing. There will be
three other varsity events and three
for the Plebes.
Syracuse and the Navy are two
of the four unbeaten teams in the
intercollegiate Swimming Associa-
ton. Yale and Princeton being the
others. Neither has lost a swimming
or water polo match.
Navy has shown much strength in
water polo this year and should win
in that sport, but the Syracuse swim
ming team, which has already beaten
Pennsylvania, should give the Mid
shipmen much trouble, and the result
is by no means a certainty.
Syracuse has a better short-distance
man in Mergott that the Navy has,
but the latter banks on such stars
as Allan, intercollegiate champion
breast stroke swimmer; Cooper,
champion fancy dive, and Coale, a
crack middle distance man.
The outstanding wrestling match
of the season is expected when the
Navy team meets the grapplers of
Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechan-
ical College. This team has been
champion OF the Missouri Valley Con-
ference for years and has not lost
a match since 1920. Most of its mem
bers have never lost a match.
The team includes three national
champions: De Marsh. 115 pounds;
Patterson, 125 pounds, and Strack,
unlimited weight class. The latter
was also a member of the last
Olympic team and the runner-up
in the finals.
The other varsity event for the
afternoon is a basket ballgame against
Gettysburg College. while the Plebes
stage thes contests: Basket ball,
New York Military Academy; swim
ming, Central High School of Wash
ington; fencing, Forest Park School,
Baltimore.
The evening will be reserved en-
tirely for the boxing match. a ire
mendously popular sport at the Naval
Academy, the Navy's opponent being
Georgetown. Although the latter is
making its bow in this sport, it's
ancient rivalry in other branches
with the Navy attaches much inter-
est to the match, while the nearness
of Washington insures many specta-
tors from the National Capital.

WEST GIVES UP ITS
GREAT TRIO TO EAST
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. February 9.-The three
players most frequently ranked as the
greatest In modern base ball history
have been lost to the West in the
Winter turnover Of team personnel.
Ty Cobb. Iris Speaker and Eddie
Collins often have been rated as the
best talent in base ball. whenever sus-
stained versatility, brilliance and dia-
mond color are considered.
Cobb, by signing with the Athletics
what is believed to be his biggest
money contract in % years Of base
ball, will play on an Eastern team for
the first time. Since the day he was
sold by Augusta. Ga, of the South
Atlantic League for $3.50. Cobb has
worn a Detroit uniform.
Speaker and Collins are not new to
the East. Collins returns to the Ath-
etics, the club to which he bounded
from Columbia University in 1905.
Speaker will be a new name on the
Washington payroll, but he was an
Eastern player during the years 1909
1915, playing with the Boston Red
Sox.
In losing it's three playing aces. the
West also has lost three managers,
Cobb, Speaker and Collins, respective
ly. having managed the Detroit. Cleve

BASKET BALL

Bill Hartman, Unions coach, who
has practically grown up with the
game, developed a corlxing good
scoring play a few years back
when his team ranked as one of
the leaders in Eastern collegiate
circles. This play is just as effec-
tive today and opponents of Union
are finding it out every week. When
one of Unions men would get a
pass and be in position to shoot he
was instructed by Hardman to pull
a perfect fake in the way of shoot
ing, but, in the same motion to
start a dribble around his opponent.
The play will work in this position
better than anywhere else on the
court for the simple reason that
the opponent guard will be more
inclined to jump in order to inter
cept what he thinks is going to be
a fairly easy shot at the basket.

GORGE " A SHINGTON'S
basket ball team journeys 10
II Brookland tonight to meet
~ Catholic University in the
first of two games. The sec
pnd will b eplayad February % in the
George Washington gymnasium. The
contest tonight is to begin at $50
o'clock. The game will be preceded
by contest between the c. L. and
q. w. freshman teams.
Catholic University generally is IA
vored to win, although George Wash
ington feels it has better than an out
side chance. The Brooklanders have
been playing a far better brand of
basket ball than the team represent
Ing the downtown school and probably
have right now the best team in the
South Atlantic section. And, what
makes 1t a difficult team TO beat, it
Is exceptionally well coached.
G. L. has in Harvey, Foley and
Long three men who can shoot, and,
properly used, as they are in Fred
Rice's system, three accurate shooters
on one team are hard to beat, as
nearly all the time one of the three
IS likely to be free
George Washington has several ex-
perienced players and has put up
some good games, but it has not been
able TO develop either the offense or
defense that have been shown by
e. L.
The game ought to be one of the
hardest played Of the year George
Washington, while it may be defeated,
should be in there battling for all it
is worth. because it has an opportuni-
ty to earn a place in the sun. A vic
tory for the Buff and Blue would be
great achievement and would estab-
lish it as a far better basket ball team
than it has generally been given credit
for being.
One thing about this Catholic Uni
Versity team this year is that it is not
only a fine basket ball team, but is
made up of about as fine a group of
men as one could find on any univer-
sity Quint anywhere. And not only
that, but, as might be expected from
the type of men who make up the
squad, @. L. has one of the cleanest
teams in the country. Fred Rice's
style of play is conducive to clean
basket ball, but with fellows like Har-
vey, Foley. Carney, Long and Keale
nothing but clean basket ball would
be expected anyway. C. US basket
ball team is credit to it's coach and
TO the university.
University of MaryIand's basket ball
team is the only other local five in &C.
ton tonight, and it goes to Philadel-
phia to meet University of Pennsyl-
vania for the first time in this sport.
Maryland realizes it will be up against
a tough proposition in the Quakers,
because the latter have won just 10
straight games on their home floor.
Penn now is tied for the lead in the
Intercollegiate League.
Pennsylvania has basket ball court
