Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-02-18

TWO competitions scheduled
for local colleges here to-
4 night are both with the
same school-St. Johns OF
Annapolis. George Washington
meets the JohnnieS in basket ball
in the G street gymnasium at 8:15,
while Catholic University faces
them at Brookland in boxing at
$3.50. American University basket
ers are due for plenty of oppoSi-
ton, as they meet Navy at An
napolis this afternoon.
This is st. Johns first year in the
boxing game, but it seems that 1t has
a team that is not mean opponent
by any means. 1t met Washington and
Lee last week and barely was defeated
4 bouts to 3. In speaking of the match
last night, during the basket ball game
with Maryland, Athletic Director Riggs
of ST. Johns said, I'VE do not have
any great team, but are good enough
to give the average college squad a
battle, and we may do a lot better
against C. U. than it expects"
st. Johns will bring here to face
George Washington a quint that is far
better than the average small college
possesses. Last night against Mary
land the Johnnies, although Maryland
led by a fairly wide margin near the
close, spurted and gave the Old Line
rocters the creeps for about minutes
before time was called. st. Johns has
among its victories this one over Uni
versity of Virginia, won at Charlottes-
vile early in January.
Two of St. Johns best linemen in
foot ball are in the lineup, in the
persons of Jon and E. Lutz. 1t is said
of job that, whsn word came to him
that an opposing team had agreed that
he was the hardest tackle to move
that eleven had ever met, he dryly re-
marked, "Yeh, / expect that's so, as l
have lot of trouble sometimes NOV

TWO Maryland squads that took part
4 in competitions last night split even,
the basket ball team winning from
St. Johns here and the boxing team
dropping a match to washington and
Lee at Lexington.
showing in boxing than it did against
the Generals nearly three weeks ago.
Despite the fact that they went to Bex-
ington without Decker, bantamweight,
who was barred from the team because
of low scholastic work, and forfeited the
bout in that class, the final count was
only four bouts to three. Keener in the
welterweiglt, Holloway in the light
heavyweight and keenan, in the heavy
weight were the winners for Maryland.

Ed Ronkin had something of scor-
ing spree for Maryland against st.
Johns IN basket ball, ringing up IA
points, goals from the floor and 4
from the foul line. in a game that
ended 80 to 20. And besides scoring
heavily, Ronkin played about the best
dcor game.
Maryland got the lead at the start
of the game, but st. Johns held the
score close until shortly after the open
ing Of the second half Then Maryland
forged ahead to a point where it seemed
to have the game on ice. but it reckoned
without thinking CT the possibilities Of
the St. Johns five.
The, Annapolitans started to pot the
ball from the middle of the floor and
1t seemed that no matter from what
point nor how far from the basket it
shot the ball could not miss. The re-
suit was that it quickly cut down the
margin, and when the game ended was
striking hard to even things up
Fader played a brilliant game at
guard for st. Johns.
