HOWARD MEETS
VA. STATE FIVE

The Howard University court
men will try to break their long
losing streak of four contests to-
morrow night when they meet the
fast Virginia State tossers in the
Howard gym at 8 p. m.
Howard got away to a fine
start this season winning five
consecutive games including a set
back to Morgan College, inter
collegiate champions for the last
seven years. Then came a trip
through the South and Virginia
State upset the dope by beating
Howard at Petersburg. The next
loss was to Hampton and then to
Lincoln and Morgan in succession.
Just what the Virginia tosserS
will do with Howard is hard to
tell as the Morgan boys deciSively
beat the visitors several nights
ago. Playing in tip-top form the
Bisons will have a good chance
to get revenge.

His first barrier comes tonight
at the Strand Theater and it
will be the huge form of that
grizzled Russian mailman, Matros
Kirilenko. This will be the top
line event of an alluring pro-
gram of five bouts that Promoter
Joe Turner has arranged for his
clients.
Draw in Last Bout
Kirilenko may prove a stun
bling block for Grobmeier'S hopes,
as the giant European held the
Iowan to a 30-minute draw at
the Auditorium recently. That
match ended with Grobmeier'S
legs wrapped around the Rus
sian.
Grobmeier is the prevailing
hero with local wrestling fans
and he'll enter the ring pro
nounced favorite. The Russian
cares little about that, however,
tor he has grown accustomed to
the whims of the fans. But
Kirilenko will give Grobmeier
something to remembers him by
Ernie DuSek on Card
The secondary match will show
Ernie Dusek and DR.. Ralph Will
son. Dusek is a younger brother
of the redoubtable Rudy Dusek
but carries more weight than
the latter. He is no novice at
the game having been wrestling
for the past six years. Wilson
is an idol here, but harm may
come his way tonight.
Other favorites> will grace the
card. Fritz Kley, the twister,
mixes with Frederic Carone;

WINS
CLOSE CAME

Maryland University baSketers
won their fourteenth consecutive
triumph of the season last night
when they toppled st. Johns, Of
Annapolis, "a to 20, but before
all was accomplished, supporters
of the Old Liners were treated
to any number of gasps, wonder
ing whether their favorite was
going to win or not.
The visitors gave Coach Ship
ley's men one of their hardest
battles of the year. Playing
stubbornly, Maryland found them
always on their heels. and it was
not until shortly before the final
whistle that an idea was pre-
sented which team would be the
final winner.
With the score tied, 20 to 20.
in the last minute of play, Rufus
Vincent, big center, sent Mary
land into the lead by inserting
a much-needed basket almost
directly under the rims. Bucky
Buscher followed this up by drib-
bling down the entire length Of
the floor to cage a goal for the
margin.
In reality, Maryland had to
come from behind to win, as
st. Johns led. 9 to 8, at the
end of the first quarter. and IA
to II at intermission. Larry Car
penter was the visitors best
scorer, with nine points. Mary
lands scoring was well divided,
Berger being high with six
points.
