JUNIOR basketers of the University
of Maryland have established for
themselves an unprecedented
~ record on the campus, never hav-
ing been beaten in court game
since their organization three years ago
as the freshman squad. Recently they
won the 1929 school title, retaining the
championship for the third consecutive
year.
During their long reign, but one team
has succeeded in tying them. That was
the freshman sextet this season, which
held the champs to 1913 deadlock
during the series.
Catherine Barnsley has captained the
juniors to victory each year. Her team
mates are Marguerite Clafiin, Evange-
line Gruver, Estelle Hoffa, Dorothea
FRESHMAN, Margaret Karr, Elizabeth
Jones and Margaret Meigs. Miss Meigs
was one of the outstanding performers
of the 1929 title race. 1t was her close
guarding which proved the biggest fac
tor in staving off defeat during the
holly contested tilt with the Frosh.
Virginia Peaseley, student coach, was
also the manager of basket ball. MISS
Peaseley will recommend the outstand-
ing players of the series for varsity
letters to be presented at the annual
athletic banquet held in the Spring.
Capitol Athletic Club six will meet
Roche A. c. passers tonight at o'clock
on the Hine Junior High School floor,
Seventh street near Pennsylvania ave-
nue. southeast, for an independent game
not on the Washington Recreation
League circuit.
Tomorrow night, c. A. c. will play
Spartan A. c.. at Wilson Normal School
at 8 o'clock in another independent af-
fair. On Thursday Jewish Community
Centers basketers have arranged to play
the Capitolites at the j. c. c. gym.
Keen rivalry, which always exists be-
tween the George Washington Univer-
sity and University of Maryland coed
rifle squads. centers this week on the
Dot and Circle match, the national
rife fraternity shoot, in which both
teams are competing.
George Washington holds the title at
present, but the College Parkers are
primed to put forth their best effort
to get revenge for two defeats this sea-
son at. the hands of the Colonials-in a
shoulder shoulder shoot Saturday
and in the N. r. A. championship team
competition. 1t is generally conceded
that one OF the two teams will win the
event, barring upSetS. G.. w. of course,
is the favorite, but Maryland is expected
to give her close race.
Both teams have most enviable
record this season. George Washing
ton markswomen have not been defeat
ed in team competition and have con-
coded only one individual match-that
of the national intercollegiate cham
pionship which went to Margaret Mitch
ell of Maryland whose tie score with
Helen Taylor, G.. W., was conceded the
higher as her total in the final stage
was greater.
Maryland has scored % times in tele-
graphic team matches out of % starts.
Three times the goods have been bested
on score and once on a forfeit. One
match was tied and one has not yet
been heard from.
Maryland was runner-up to G.. w. In
the N r. A. team championship. No
other team in the country came within
20 points OF the leaders.
Next Saturday. the long looked for
championship game between the Chevy
Chase and Garfield playground basket
ball teams for the city interplayground
title will be played ON the Plaza court
at 1890 o'clock, weather permitting
Miss Jack Whiting will referee. Each
team has one game on the final series
The winner of Saturdays contest will
be the champion by 2-1 count. Last
year, Georgetown held the title, but
was beaten by Chevy Chase in the pre-
liminaries this past Fall
