MARYLAND OFFERS
I TWIN ATTRACTION
Meets Conference Rivals in
Basket Ball and Boxing
Saturday Night.
BY III. c. BYRD.

Ddll ana washington anu
Lee in boxing, probably will be
the high spot of this weeks
schedule among the local colleges.
The Old Liners are to play the
Tarheels at 7:45 and meet the
Generals in the ring at 9:15.
The series OF basket ball games in
which MARYLAND and North Carolina
have met the last few years has been
Just about as close as could De- baSC
season when the Tarheels came mere
no other basket ball game ever was
PLAYED in which there were more thrllB
from start to finish. After the whistle
blew TO begin the contest, it was case
of one or the other teams leading oy
point or two, and at no time did more
than three points separate them.
Last year Maryland had two boxing
meets with Washington and Lee ana
lost both. The first was dropped TWO
bouts to five and the second three oouIS
to four.
THE first local game this week Is
l. scheduled Tuesday between Amer
ican University and Randolph
Macon on the American University
floor. Inasmuch as the local school
trimmed Randolph Macon down at
Ashland some weeks back, there Is not
much reason to think that the visitors
ape strong enough to win this time.
Catholic University and Georgetown
NAV on other floors Wednesday night,
the former at Maryland and the latter
at Ioyola in Baltimore. Last year
Catholic University and Maryland had
a great game at BrOOkland, and the Olo
Liners we're lucky to get away Wlth the
long end of the count by small mar
gin, GEORGETOWN should have its HANDS
full disposing of Loyola over In the
latter's gymnasium.
GEORGETOWN plays again on THURSDAY
this time in the Tech gymnasium, with
Western Maryland as the opposing
uuint. The Blue and Gray should take
the Green and Gold into camp.
George washington takes tWo-game
trip through Virginia THURSDAY ana
Friday It's first contest IS with WIZ
liam and Mary at Williamsburg and It's
second with Virginia Medical College at
Richmond The ColonialS doubtless
will get their sternest opposition from
William and Mary.
American University plays its second
College of North Carolina being llSteo
10 aJopear here. The local school ought
to come through with its flag at the
masthead.
CATURDAY Catholic UniverSitys
y track team begins its season by
taking part in the Seton Hall meet
at Newark, N. j. Coach Dorsey Gr1t-
fifth has not announced what men ne
will send to the meet, but Is likely
10 take a mile relay anyway
While the BrooklandcrS' track team
Is at Newark the basket ball qulnt
VIII b. playing at Loyol8 c. U. iost
its game here with Loyola week oetore
last.
The C. U. Freshman five also goes to
Baltimore to meet the Loyola Freshmen.
Gallaudet's quint plays at home Sat
urday night, meeting the Temple Col
leee of Pharmacy. which 1t beat last
Friday night at Philadelphia.
Navy entertains one Of the big teams
of its present schedule Saturday When
Ohio State plays at Annapolis. IL
not often that western Conference
five has a game in this section, ana
it should cause good deal OF interest.
Nov that the colleges have greater
~ representation on the commlttee
that controls American participa-
ton in the Olympics, it seems that
they are going to make real effort
to help raise the money necessary 10
give the American team the beSt OF
conditions under which to compete.
DR.. Charles w. Kennedy Of Prince
ton University, president of the Ma
tional College Athletic Association, mas
sent a personal and official appeal to
all colleges to do their part in raising
funds. II is estimated that 1t will
take from $500, 900 to S350,000 to detray
the expenses Of the American teams
in the Winter sports at Lake Placlo
and in the other sports at Los Angeles,
and of this amount the colleges are
expected to raise 100000
DR.. Kennedy's appeal follows:
las president of the National Col
legiate Athletic Association, may
appeal to you for your personal CO.
operation in the canvass to raise the
quota of the Olympic fund, which
properly represents duty resting
on the colleges of the United States.
The Olympic Winter games will be
held next month and the Summer
games at Los Angeles are only few
months away. The two organizing
committees have done their part, in
preparing the sites for the two sets
of games. ,o,
"The olympic fund Of $300o0 to
s35OOOO of which 100000 seems to
be a proper amount to be raised
under college auspices is to be used
solely for the support, equipment,
training and transportation OF the
various teams that will represent
the United States in the two sets OF
games Not one cent will go to pay
the cost of the grounds and Struc-
lures at Lake Placid or Los Angeles,
THE financial responsibility for these
rests on the two organized commit
tees.
II feel that it is necessary to
start an active campaign IN eacn
college to secure contributions. 1t
is a difficult year in which 10 raise
money and, unless active measures
are taken. there is grave danger
that the Olympic Committee Will
5nd itself. at the time of the Los
Angeles games, financially unpre-
nared To provide for the various
teams which are to represent us.
NAV 1 ask. therefore, personally
and as president of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association, that
at your earliest convenience, you
make provision at your college Tor
contribution to the Olympic fund In
the following ways
"Q) That you ask your athletic
association to send in as generous
a contribution as your athletic
finances will permit
"(2) That you ask your Athletic
Committee to consider at once the
possibility of designating one or
more events on your Winter and
Spring programs, the net proceeds
OF which may be sent as contri-
buttons.
"(3) That you ask your Athletic
Committee to establish procedures
by which direct canvass may be
made of your undergraduates and
alumni to afford them opportunity
for personal contribution to the
