versity of Pittsburgh here
" tonight, on Tech High
court, as its opponent in
basket ball. The contest begins at
8 o'clock
Maryland entertains in Ritchie
Coliseum, Western Maryland in
basket ball and st. Johns in box
ing. Basket ball play begins at
7:45 and the boxing match i'm
mediately thereafter.
Pittsburgh usually has one of the
best quints in the East and the game
in which it meets Georgetown should
be better than the one Western Mary
land is to play with Maryland. Possibly
the Georgetown-Pitt struggle may de-
velop into one of the most attractive OF
the year.
Georgetown is going at good speed
and Pitt probably is able to take care
of itself. Monday night against West
Virginia Coach Mesmer could not have
asked for more out of his Blue and
Gray squad and, going as well tonight,
Western Maryland may prove more
difficult for Maryland than is expected.
as it seems to have been improving |
considerably in its recent games. Early |
this week it whipped the Bucknell |
quint, which was not mean feat by
any means. However, on the strength |
of Western Maryland's showing prior
to the contest with Bucknell, Maryland |
Is the stronger.
Too, x.-ato oh
ed the Old Liners lose to Washington
and Lee last week and, judged by the !
interest the squad took in arrange
ments for the bouts tonight, what was
seen was not much cause for dis
couragement.
OF tomorrow nights contests proba-
~ bly, the most interesting will be |
that in which Virginia comes here |
to meet Maryland. The Old Dominion |
basket ball team is one Of the best In |
the South, although its record is not |
quite as good as that Of the Old Line |
school. At Charlottesville, when Mary |
land played there early in January, |
critics were unanimous in declaring |
that it was the best game ever on that |
floor.
Virginia has in charge of its squad
one of the most capable coaches in the
country, Gus Tebell. Some years ago
when Tebell was at North Carolina !
State he had rather a poor team, but
gave Maryland the beating which put
it out of the Southern Conference
tournament at Atlanta Coach Shipley |
of Maryland expressed his respect for
Tebell by saying last month, " I'd just
as lief play anybody in the world as
Tebell; he's one tough coach to beat"
~EoRGE WASHINGTON should not
" have much trouble taking a fall
out of Baltimore University to-
morrow night. The Colonials have
been going at too rapid pace to be
worried much by anything the Monu-
mental City five has shown.
The game is to be played in the
George Washington gymnasium at 8
o'clock.
Gallaudet goes over to American
University to give the Methodists
chance to atone for the whipping they |
took at St. Johns early this week. The !
Kendall Greencrs are up against
hard proposition, as American U. will
be a heavy favorite.
THE investigation conducted by
i Fielding Yost into the causes of
deaths among foot ball men last
Fall reveals that less than half those
supposedly fatally hurt in the game
actually were hurt that way.
Parke Davis, who is carrying on a
rather close scrutiny of the records OF
the cases in which death resulted from
one cause or another, has found some
rather unusual facts, which he expects
to announce later
For one thing, he learned that one
boy who was reported to have died
from foot ball injury, actually dropped
out from heart trouble when he was
running around kicking foot ball on
a back lot after he had been refused
permission to play on his high school
team because of the ailment Another
boy received an abrasion in a gym
nasium, developed blood poisoning and
died.
And the probabilities are, as Yost
apparently found out, that when Davis
has completed his investigation lot
more instances Of the kind will be
known.
DY the time a few more schools get !
- through canceling base ball games |
because Of the necessity for max |
ing their budgets balance, to put 1t |
politely. Maryland, and probably |
Georgetown, will not have much left |
in the way Of a base ball schedule.
The mcSt recent school to start par
ing its list of diamond games is North |
Carolina State, and it has asked to be |
relieved of a game Maryland is Sched- |
uled to play at Raleigh.
It has been understood that the finan- !
cial situation at North Carolina State
Is not the best, to say the least, Ap-
parently the administrative authorities |
have taken hold and are adopting |
rather drastic means to curtail expen- |
ditures and get back on basis where
deficits will not be rolled up.
Maryland started this year with de-
liberate intention to shorten its own
schedule to about 18 games How
ever, in the last two weeks PennSyl-
vania, Harvard, Virginia Polytechnic
Institute and North Carolina State
have asked that games be Cancelled
because of necessity for financial cur
tanment.
The situation in college athletics
seems to be about the same as in every
thing else, which resolves itself into
nothing more nor less than great
10 1880 that was too far above normal.
Now it is 1desuon of retrench,
whether or not the average college
desires to.
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY wound up
~ its two-day foray into the Old
Dominion last night by losing to
the Virginia Poly basketers at Blacks
burg, 18 to 35. 1t was not as good a
showing as the Cardinals were expected
to make.
The Cards were off in their shooting,
particularly in their long-range firing.
and never we're seriously in the run
ming, the home quint running into a
13-to-5 lead in the opening talf.
All of the six men used by each team
figured in the scoring.
