says H. Burton Shipley, coach of
the University of Maryland Quin-
tet. Shipley will have his Old
Liners in action and would like to
be the team to beat the Blue
Devils.
Shipley's team has played. or he
himself has seen, every important I'VE
in the section, and his opinion should
be just about as substantial as could
be gotten.
Duke has a team" continued Ship
ley, that will give a good account of
itself on any floor anywhere. Poten-
tally, doubt If 1t is any better than
and Lee is playing q much looser game
and will suffer a good deal more from
the strict offlciating that features the
tournament. Duke has a lot Of bril-
liant players, and Eddie Cameron,
former Washington and Lee athlete, is
doing a good job as coach.
Duke seems to me to be a better
balanced t1ve than Washington and Lee,
although in Cox, Williams and Hanna
the latter school has three brilliant
players. A good deal of washington
and Lees strength centers around VIII
iamS, while Dukes power is more
evenly balanced In all positions, and in
Rogers Duke unquestionably has the
best Southern forward since Cobb and
Carmichael played at North Carolina.
Werber at guard, Councillor, forward,
and Crosson, center, also are good men
and, incidentally, all three have been
playing together for several years, hav-
ing been members Of Tech Highs team
IN washington before they entered
Duke.
ut seems to me that the tournament
at Atlanta ought to be the greatest
In the history of the conference. Ger
talnly there are more good teams in
the South Atlantic section than I have
ever seen in any one previous season.
and all are pretty well balanced. Also

Georgetown's basket ball game with
Navy. its two boxing matches with
Washington and Lee and Navy, and
Maryland's basket ball trip to North
Carolina, during which 1t meets North
Carolina State, North Carolina and
Duke, are to be the highlights Of the
coming week In college athletics. WASH
1ngton and Lee came here yesterday
for a boxing match with G. u. @ud will
remain over for the contest with
Georgetown tomorrow night.
Wednesdays basket ball game be-
tween Georgetown and Navy probably
VIII be the most important Of the year
for Georgetown. There Is no institu-
ton that Georgetown would rather beat
than Navy, and 1t will 90 to Annapolis

just that.
Maryland leaves tomorrow night for
Carolina, where 1t meets North
Carolina State College Tuesday, North
Duke on Thursday. Maryland has
played all three teams, having lost TO
North Carolina State by 2 points. to
Duke by point and having won from
