The reserve basketball forces
OF. Maryland University have been
strengthened for tonight'S game
with Catholic U. in the latter'S
gym by the return of 'Frenchy'
Cohan, speedy midget guard.
Cohan was on the squad last
year but quit after a few games
had been played. He was un-
able to report at the beginning
of the present season because of
classroom difficulty which he has
since worked off. He became
eligible Tuesday and played part
Of the Washington and Lee game.
Three Capable Reserves
Coach Burton Shipley welcomes
Cohan for he has now three
capable substitutes. the others
being John PitZer and Bob Will
son. It is possible that all three
will see action against the Car
dinals tonight in the game that
gets under way at 8:45 o'clock.
MaryIand'S starting. lineup
will include Ed ROnkin and
Shorty Chalmers, forwards;
Jack Norris, center; BOzie Ber-
ger and Charlie May, guards.
It is interesting to note that
this combination, which has cap
tured eight of ten Skirmishes,
will be intact for another year
of varsity competition In fact,
only Pitzer will be lost through
graduation.
This alone should insure Mary
land of continued success on the
basketball floor next winter, but
the varsity will be greatly boil
stored by the addition of valu-
able freshman crop, some OF
whom are not only the equal but
the superior of the present
varsity.
Outstanding Freshmen Players
Outstanding members OF the
unbeaten Terrapin yearling qulnt
are Spencer Chase, Ray David
son, Bob Snyder and Homer
Heart. forwards; Rufus Vincent
and John Monk, centers; BucKy
!Buscher, Russell LampSon and
Harold MAJ ghton, guards. Chase,
Davidson, Vincent and BuScher
had considerable experience IN
scholastic and independent oaS-
ketball before entering Mary
land. Wilbur Wright. another
freshman ace, failed in his studies
and is on the diSbarred list.
Coach Eddie LaFOnd has his
Catholic University boxers back
at hard work following their
victory over M. 1. T. here last
Tuesday, The next opponents
of the Cardinals will be a week
from tomorrow night when
BucknelI is tackled at Lewis
burg, Pa.
The boxing outlook at c.. U.
took on further brightness with
the return of Johnny DePasquale
to the squad. DePasquale, who
fought as 115-pounder last year
has been advanced to the 10
pound class.
DePasouale was not in shape
for the M. I. T. matches, having
snent much time on his studies
in order to hurdle the mld-year
examinations.
Maryland Boxers Ready
Coach Billy Whip has his
Maryland University boxers IN
shape for their match with V. M
tomorrow night in the Rltchle
Gym. at College Park, Md, at q
o'clock. Whipp will depend upon
practically the same group thaC
appeared for the Old Liners IN
their intercollegiate boxing debut
last Saturday. Says Whlp:
81 have an aggressive squad
and / look for great improve
ment against v. NJ. l. The boys
suffered mostly from fright In
their opening matches but have
gotten over that. think L
have two first-rate college box
ers In Keener, 145-pOunder, and
Holloway, light-heavy. My only
regret is that I'll lose Holloway
by graduation"
Georgetown University nosed
out Johns Hopkins, 1929. in a
nip-and-tuck basketball game last
night in the Tech High gym. 1t
was a game that pulsated the
small attendance with exciting
plays and exceptional shots.
A flip by Bill Shea from a hard
position with less than two min
utes of play severed 27-27 tie
and placed Georgetown ahead,
This basket saved victory for the
Blue and Gray, though free toss
by McHale actually accounted for
the winning point as C. Kelly
added two points to Hopkins
total with a goal from scrimmage.
Captain Walter Morris kept the
Hilltoppers in the running during
the first half with four loopers.
