sponsored by President Hoover is
preceding slowly in some states and
has met stiff opposition in others,
according to political leaders from
that territory, now in the capital.
Postmaster General Brown, in
trusted with active supervision of
the reorganization, has recognized
many of the old elements frowned
upon by President Hoover in his
announcement of sweeping changes,
southern leaders charge. These point
out that the lilly white" groups set
up by Horace A. Mann, Hoover'S
southern campaign manager, have
gone unrecognized by Brown, while
veteran politicians have been re-
stored to power.
In Florida and Georgia the Mann

By George A. Simpson

Some sunshine crept today into
the life Of Burton Shipl9y, basket
ball coach at Maryland University
when he found out that his players
would be able to have the competi,
ton that would serve to check them
from going stale" The Terrap pins
have booked last-minute game with
Randolph Macon College, and the
Virginians will appear in the Ritchie
gym tomorrow night at 8 o'clock.
The Marylanders have gone with
out a real game since December %,
when they bowed to University of
Pennsylvania. Shipley is not the
kind Of a coach who wants his play
ers to remain around merely wear
ing their equipment.
Then, again, the College Parkers
have a game with Virginia next
Tuesday at Charlottesville, and an
athletic rivalry Is brewing between
Virginia and Maryland. making it
imperative that the Old Liners be in
first-rate trim.
For the game against Randolph
Macon, Coach Shipley will start Ju-

vOred over George Madigan for the
center's berth. because both are
taller than the chap who carved
such a glorious career on the foot
bail field last fall. The versatile
NJ Madigan can also be used as for
ward and guard, and perhaps Ship
ley is keeping him out Of the initial
lineup, saving him for relief duty.
Coach Elmer Ripley's Georgetown
University five will tonight engage
Duke University at $3.50 o'clock in
the American University gym, which
is located on Massachusetts Avenue
extended. The Methodists' floor was
secured for the game because Rip
ley thought it was better suited than
the Ryan gym.
Ripley did not decide upon the
change because he was seeking a
gym with a larger seating capac.
ty, as the American U. house can't
any more than George

game contested ON an Meal floor.
