~ OF basket ball. Out in
Ritchie Coliseum the Old
Liners face a five that represents
Washington College, a school of
only 200 students, a good many
OF them girls, that has whipped
them four out of the six times
they have played since 1925.
There is no other team the Old
Liners have met six or more times
that has even begun to make that
Kind OF a record against them.
The first time the Eastern Shoremen
came over here-all the games have
been played on Maryland's court-was
In 1925 and they won by 27 to l8. In
1926 Maryland turned the tables and
won 80 to 26. but in 1927 and 1928
Washington College was victor, % to 1e
and 2l to l6, Maryland came through
In 1929 by 20 10 l8. In 1880 there was
no game, but last year Washington Col
by 81 to 81, winning on foul that was
thrown after time was up at the end of
the game.
Explanation Is Difficult.
Just what it is that seems to have
given Washington College something of
Jinx on Maryland on the basket ball
court is not explainable. The first time
the teams met Washington College sim
ply had much better group of players
and Maryland was lucky 1t did not get
whipped by bigger margin Last year
Washington College did not have nearly
SO good individuals as made up the Old
Line outfit. Probably it Is just a case of
centralization of effort on success in
one particu, ,Sr sport. in much the same
way that ~. Johns OF Annapolis has
proved stronger than Maryland the last
two seasons in lacross>.
Tom Kibler, Washington College
coach, was in the stands Saturday
night when Maryland Played North
Carolina. And he mas secuted the Old
Line basket ball team every year Just as
closely as foot ball scouts follow an
opposing eleven. 1t might we'll be men
toned. too. that scouting in basket ball
Is almost as valuable IN some respects
as scouting gridiron team
If Washington College lives I'D to its
reputation, Maryland will spend any
thing. but an easy evening. Play be-
gins at 8:15.
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY basket

7 UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
~ apparently is making some drastic
curtailments of its athletic sched-
ules. even more than was at first ex-
pected. 1t has gone so far as to can
eel the boxing match 1t had with Vir-
ginia at Philadelphia this Saturday
night. and in college athletics such a
cancellation is almost unheard Of. 1t
also has notified Virginia that its tennis
team will not make the trip to Char
lottesville in the Spring Financial
stringency is given as the reason for
the action. Some time ago Penn can
celed its base ball games scheduled in
this vicinity for the same reason.
1t has been rumored that Penn has a
big athletic debt and it may be that
some drastic steps are being taken in
order to curtail it. Either that Is the
reason, or there is little money left to
run the remainder of the year. or some
very radical changes in Penn's athletic
system are taking place.
IN bouts that entertained more than
i 1000 fans, Catholic University last
night won its second fistic engage
