Against Maryland State Normal School
Gallaudet will be striving to chalk up
its first win Of the campaign. The

bv the absence of Louis Dyer, star for
ward. who was out with an injury sui
fered during the recent gridiron season.
Whether Dyer will be able to play
tomorrow night is not certain.
Against william and Mary last night
MARYLAND exhibited a combination
which lacked only polish especially on
defense. The Old Liners attack was
highly satisfactory to their followers;
They had no difficulty working the oali
close to the enemy basket, but missed
several shots, especially in the early
going which indicated they needed
practice. ;.
on defense Maryland showed that IL
requires much drilling before its play IS
as smooth as it should be. William ana
Mary could get in for only three pas
kets from the floor, but % fouls were
called on the Old Liners, Is OF Whlcn
the Indians made good.
last nights defeat was the third Tor
William and Mary in four games on a
trip to this section. Johns Hopkins
and Navy were other teams to trim the
Indians. whose lone triumph was over
Catholic University.
William and Mary gained the lead
at the outset on Braces pair OF fouls,
h,,t il was not long before Radice,
HetZel. Dean and Conan came tnrougn
with shots that gave Maryland sub
stantial lead. At the half the Oio
Liners were in front, IS to g.. Lign1
dropued in a 30-foot toss for the VlSl-
tors lone field goal of the half.
MARYLAND continued to add to Its lead
IN fine second half and soon was anead,
81 to 10. Here, though, the Old Liners
began presenting the visitors with scor-
inc OPPORTUNITIES through rule mtrac-
fions. and Silverman threw a scare INTO
the Maryland camp few minutes later
when he looped in shot from mlucouTC
to make the score % to 10: A couple
of one-hand flips by AL Heagy, who
came into the game with an injured
knee, and foul shots by Dean and Maol-
gan put the game in the bag for the
Old Liners. -
Though Abe Silverman, the Indians
scoring ace, was the high scorer OF the
evening with 8 points, he made only
one basket from the floor, six coming
on foul toSses.
