VISITS MARYLAND
TOMORROW NIGHT
Ends Jabnt by Playing at
C. U. Saturday-0ld Line
Team NoSed Out.
BY H. c. BYRD.

comes here tomorrow to
v play two games, the first
that night at Maryland and
the second Saturday night at
Catholic University. The CaVa-
ners have a rangy, capable group
of basketers that has at times
played brilliant basket ball and
at times has not done so well.
They think they stand an even
chance of going back to Char
lottesville with a pair OF scalps
tucked to their belt.
Judged by what it accomplished
against Maryland at CharlottesVnle,
virginia should stand something better
than an even chance of winning Its
games here Down there the first OF
last week it took the measure of Mary
land, and any team that has whipped
the Old Liners ought not to have
whole lot of trouble taking c. U. into
camp.
It is expected that Virginia and
hard 40 minutes of play, with the
chances pretty close to even. Probably
the final measure of the difference will
' be only, three or four points. Such a
game Is bound to take out of Virginia
something of its physical and mental
reserve strength, and it may be that
Catholic u. will do lot better against
the visitors than might ordinarily be
expected from q comparison OF past
scores.
Virginia is coached by Gus Tebell, one
of the best basket ball men in the coun-
try, and, incidentally, one Of the best
liked personally. Tebell teaches the So
called Meanwell system, taught by DR..
Walter Meanwell at the University OF
Wisconsin. DIR. walter Meanwell, by the
way. though it is not generally known,
is an alumnus of the. University OF
Maryland.
Georgetown's basket ball team is at
Morgantown, w. Va, tonight for its
second game of the week with West
Virginia University. The Blue and Gray
left last night on its trip, during when
it is to play three games. The second
"a tomorrow night with DuqueSne UNI
versity, and the third Saturday night
with Carnegie Tech. Two OF the hveS,
West Virginia and Duquesne, have de-
feated Georgetown in games here.
CEORGETOwN and Catholic Uni
" versity viii be represented in the
Meadowbrook games tonight in
Philadelphia by relay teams and by
men In the events for individuals. The
Blue and Gray is to have both its one
mile and two-mile teams in compet-
ton.
The two-mile four is made up Of
Burke, Mara, Jim Kelly and Downing,
while the one-mile runners are Burke,
Mara, Briggs and Carlin. Burke and
mara doubling up in the two races.
The Blue and Gray's opponents have
not as yet been announced. Al Kelly,
sprinter, and Bonniwen in the high
jump are the Blue and Gray's other
entries.
Catholic University's relay runners
are Fraatz, Ferris, Hickey and Nc
Gugin.
No basket bail game is scheduled on
q local floor tonight, but three colleges
have games away. Georgetown, Catholic
University and American University all
are in the West Virginia Pittsburgh
sector. The HoyaS play West Virginia
at Morgantown. the Cards meet Geneva
at Beaver Falls, Pa, and the Eagles
face Carnegie Tech at Pittsburgh. The
chances are against each Of the local
fives.
A INVOLVEMENT by Catholic Uni
IA versity that Ray Conger may run
In its indoor track meet March z
should be the forerunner of interesting
news II it finally develops that he viii
come here. Conger is the greatest mile
runner in America today and possibly
track he seems to be very much OF
piece Of machinery, so smoothly does he
manipulate his legs.
Incidentally, what Conger really is
aiming at Is a victory in the ] 500
meters In the Olympics in Los Angeles
in 1882. Last year Conger was offered
q Job in a certain college, but felt that
he could not take it because it might
endanger his amateur standing and pre-
vent him running in the OlympicS.
University Of Maryland dropped
basket ball game by one point in an
unusual way last night. Just as the
sgun went on winding up its game with
Washington College with the score
tie, apparently necesSitating another ex-
tra-period game, and the Maryland
cheer leaders rushed on the floor for
tyells. the officials quickly cleared the
floor and took the players down under
q basket for a free shot for Washing
ton College.
It seems that one OF the men ham
ding the game had called a foul just
as the game ended. johnson, the Wash
ington College man, stood on the foul
line after the game had actually been
finished and calmly dropped the ball
through the basket for the winning
point. -
Maryland started the game as If it
would go through without lot Of diff
Guilty, but apparently thought 1t had
the situation too well In hand and let
down sufficiently for Washington Col
lsge to creep up and carry victory
back to the Eastern Shore by the
smallest possible margin.
Berger, with 13 points, led Maryland
In scoring.
washington College presented a
rangy group, Of good basketers, well
coached.
