Evening star., 1932-02-06

meets North CarOllnd IN
~ basket ball and Washing
ton and Lee in boxing to-
night in the Ritchie Coliseum in
a double bill in which it has no
better than an even chance in
one and possibly something less
than an even chance in the other.
The basket ball game begins at
7:45 and the ring matches I'M
mediately after, probably about
e.15.
North Carolina is bringing here ap-
parently one of the best quints In the
South. The Tarheels have lost only
one game out of nine played, and that
was dropped by margin Of only one
point, 10 to l8. Indications are the
game tonight should be about the same
kind as that in which the two teams
met last year There was never a time
in that contest when one Of the quints
was more than two or three points
ahead. and the lead changed often.
MARYLAND without much question
vi is one of the best college f1ves in
30 the country but apparently VIII
be against one of the others that
stands about in the same category. In
Ciaentally North Carolina always has
good basket ball teams and won the
Southern championship more often
than any other school.
Basket ball games between the Tar
heels and Old Liners have been close
CIV lo fyIn
gan to play in that sport back in 1924,
MarylandS first year at the game serl-
0uSly In the intervening period Mary
land has won seven times and lost four,
but the total number of points scored
by each team shows the cloSenesS OF
the competition, Maryland having 265
and North Carolina 262. 1t is rather
remarkable that only 3 points separate
the totals of the two universities for
10 games.
In 1924 North Carolina won, Is to
20 In 1925 North Carolina again was
victor, q to l6 but in 1925 Maryland
got its first game, by % to %. In 1927
the two teams played three times,
Maryland winning the first, % to %;
North Carolina the second, 80 to %,
and Maryland the third, % to 10. In
1928 there was no contest, but in 1929
North Carolina came through, % to %.
Maryland won both games in 1880, SO
to-24 and % to 10. Maryland also was
victor last year, 33 to 81.
WHEN Maryland's boxers step
w through the ropes to meet Wash
lngton and Lees mitt pushers they
will 60 against practically the same
team that won both matches last year,
the first by to 2 and the second by
to s. The Old Liners have taken
part in one match this season and
lost that-to Virginia Military Institute.
Maryland will have one man, Bernard
Keener, in the ring who has yet to be
whipped since he entered college. That
Young man is a natural fighter who
has yet to meet another collegian able
to stand up and swap blows with him.
He fights in the 145-pound class.
In both the basket ball game and
boxing, Maryland expects the sternest
opposition it may have to face on its
home floor during the entire season.
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY basket
- ball team certainly cannot be con-
Sidered to have anything more than
aa- outside chance against Loyola in
Baltimore tonight. The BrooklanderS
lost to Loyola here some time ago and
ne basket ball team stands as good a
chance for victory on a foreign floor
as it does on its own. However, there
is one virtue about that c. U. five, 1t
never knows when to say enough; and
lf-it hits It's best stride and keeps that
up during the whole game the result
may be surprise. 1t probably would
not be much of surprise either, be-
cause in that event c. U. would win.
GEORGETOWN has its relay team and
Al kelly, Sprnter, in New York tonight
to compete in the Millrose games. The
opposing relay four will be Holy Cross,
one OF the fastest in the East. II
Georgetown brings back a victory it
will be distinct achievement for
Jimmy Mulligan, new coach.
Another Northern college base ball
team Harvard. has decided TO eliminate
its Southern "trip this year and is ask
ing to be relieved OF Obligations already
incurred for two or three contests. In
ability to get guarantees sufficient to
foot the expenses of the trip is the rea-
son given.
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY apparently
~ is in ior another successful year in
the ring. Undefeated through last
year the Card team opened its 1882
campaign last night by beating c. C.
n, Y. IN the c. U. gym, Az to 2l2.
The score was decisive, but the Competl-
ton generally was keen. About 1000
saw a Seven-bout program that was
packed with thrills, though there was
no knockout.
Miro, MaraveliaS, Stapleton and Pyne
won decisions for G. u. ana Di Giacoma
