NJ YLAND, with Johns
I'M Hopkins as its opponent,
1 i makes its last 1882 basket
ball bow before the home
folks tonight in the Ritchie Coli
scum. Following the game with
Hopkins, the Old Line five will
take a day of rest, then leave for
Atlanta to take part in the South
ern Conference tournament.
While Maryland is trying to get in
the best possible shape to meet the
grueling competition that is met at
Atlanta, it nevertheless is not forgetting
that Hopkins is about its Oldest rival
in athletics Since 1893 Maryland and
Hopkins have been meeting in foot ball
and off and on in base ball. but 1t has
been only in recent years that the two
schools took up basket ball Maryland
began the game in earnest in 1924 after
several weak prior attempts, but Hop
kins did not start until 1928.
Since 1928 the two schools have met
twice each season in a total OF nine
games, including Maryland's victory at
Baltimore last November. Two of these
were won by Hopkins and seven by
Maryland Hopkins was victor in the
f1rst contest, % to 20, and was again
in 1929, 80 to 20. The most thrilling
struggle was the first of the two in
1929, won by Maryland, l9 to Is.
In the first game this year Maryland
had hard going to win, 33 to 27. With
Don Kelly in the lineup, Hopkins is
an exceptionally good team, as he seems
to be the handspring which makes the
other players go. In Hopkins recent
games he has been out because of ILL.,
ness. If he is back tonight HOPKINS
is sure to be far different team from
that which last week dropped two games
to teams generally considered its in
ferior.
Coach Shipley has not vet made
known who he will start in tonioht;s
game, but it may be that he will send
IN a complete senior lineup. This
would bring May and Ronkin at guard
Norris at center and Berger and Chal-
merS at forward. This is the combi-
nation that last year won the Southern
Conference championship and all will
appear for the last time in a home
game, as all graduate in June.
The game begins at 8:I5.

IT REALLY is queer how rumors of
L one kind and another get around
rumors that have absolutely no
foundation. TIE other day mention
was made in this column of the fact
that DR.. Charles w Kennedy of Prince
ton was very strongly in favor of inter
collegiate athletics, and not against
them, as had been rumored, and Dr.
Kennedy's own statements were quoted
to show just what his views are. And
then only this morning the writer heard
this remark, why, this new president
at the University of Pennsylvania is
against foot ball and is putting the
game there out of business, isn't hep"
could be further from the
facts, as herewith follow in his own
words the opinion that President Thorn
as S. Gates of the University Of Penn
sylvania has of foot ball:
Il am perfectly willing to talk about
foot ball am interested in foot ball.
I am for foot ball. l believe in 1t be-
cause of the undeniable value of body
contact games. I believe in it because
Of the control, the patience, TIE re-
straint, the physical and mental de-
velopment, and the character building
qualities of the game. I believe in 1t
because more and more boys are finding
