@ Hl0 Is 10 NC d puoy MeSA CAN
for local college athletic teams
principally in basket ball. The
biggest game on local fool
tonight is that at Maryland
with North Carolina furnishing the OPP
position.
Georgetown journeys north to meel
New York Athletic Club tonight and
New York University tomorrow. George
Washington plays on its home noor
tomorrow night. with Davis-Elkins al
It's opponent. while Catholic University
swimming team goes to William ano
Mary for a dual meet.
That Maryland has job on its hands
is indicated by the way in which the
Tarheels beat Virginia at Charlottes-
vile last night. the Carolinians winning
30 TO 25 And Virginia beat Maryland
the last time they met. The Old Liners
too. will be without the services of Al
Heagy, star guard. who was injured in
the game with Washington and Lee at
Lexington Tuesday night. He has
Wrenched back.
Maryland won from North Carolina
the last time the two quints met, tax
ing the game at College Park and also
the one at Chapel Hill, year before
last.
Marylands style of play is especially
hard for the type that Carolina uses,
and that may give the home five an op-
pcrtunity to make much better show
ing than is expected.
A South Atlantic intercollegiate bas-
ket ball league may be formed at a
meeting to be held in Roanoke next
week. representatives of North Carolina
North Carolina State College Duke
University. Washington and Lee, Vir-
ginia Military Institute. Virginia, Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute and Mary
land are to gather on February is on
invitations sent out by Dick Smith of
Washington and Lee, to discuss the
feasibility of plans for court circuit
along the same lines as the one organ
lied in base ball last year.
Washington and Lee Is sponsoring
the Flea, and Dick Smith, its graduate
manager, is working it out. Sentiment
seems to be largely in favor of such a
league, to be made up of the eight
teams mentioned, each team to play
two games with each of its opponents.
In talking of the league Smith has
the following to say:
"I see no reason why such basket
ball league should not succeed. We
are compelled to play just so many
games with other Southern Conference
GCA1CuIS, Sz1lQ VIC may dS NC1l w ~ III q
way that will serve to create interest.
Basket ball is the best of our indoor
sports. and with league in operation
probably will develop even greater in
terest. Unless something unforeseen
happens, believe we can put the
league through and make success of
It. At least everybody at present seems
to be pretty much IN favor Of the idea. "
s.s- ne
coach of its foot ball team, 1t will not
only have man who is a good coach
but one everybody will like. Morrison
always has smile on his face, and
while he has been good way from the
center of things while at Southern
Methodist University, he nevertheless Is
well known, well thought OF and well
liked personally in all sections He Is
q quiet kind of fellow, good natured
and with all the attributes that go
with that easy effectiveness that usu-
ally accomplishes without ostentation
what is aimed at.
In other words, Morrison is the kind
of fellow who gets things done without
ever seeming to bother much about
them. He is about the same size and
of pretty much the same general dispo-
sition as Tom Campbell, who was SO
we'll liked at both Virginia and North
Carolina. And, incidentally, and not
without some interest to Virginia alum
nj Morrison has been turning out some
exceptionally fine foot ball teams at
Southern Methodist University. In one
of the games last Fail at West Point
he was barely beaten by Army by one
point.
william and Mary has a place on
Earvards foot ball schedule for 1890.
From that it seems that Billy Gooch
new athletic director at Williamsburg
is going after the biggest things that
can be found. The date of the game In
1880 is November /.
And this announcement of Harvard
schedules for the next two years, and
negotiations being carried on oy goo0
many other schools, indicate that al
are looking a long way ahead. Most
of the big schools in the country have
their schedules for 1880 just aoous
complete, and those that do not have
are looking to completion within the
next month or two.
