Evening star., 1933-01-18

has scheduled Tor Satur-
~ day night the first of five
double bills of basket ball
and boxing it will hold in the
Ritchie Coliseum this Winter. The
Old Liners are to entertain Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute teams
in both sports. The basket ball
sz.Ine is to begin at o'clock and
the boxing matches Immediately
after.
Maryland won from v. P. l. in baS-
ket ball Immediately after the holidays,
but since that the Blacksburg five has
been coming along SO well that Coach
Burton Shipley of Maryland has ex-
pressed himself as fearful that his men
will have mighty hard shedding.
Eight matches are to take place in
boxing, the classes being lis pounds,
125 pounds, 135 pounds, 145 pounds,
155 pounds, los pounds, light-heavy
weight and heavyweight In the only
match Maryland has had it broke even
with Washington and Lee at Lexington
last week The Old Liners won four
out of the first six matches, lost the
seventh on a knockout, and then lost
the final bout when its representative
was disqualified for holding when he
apparently had the bout won.
Maryland, without much doubt, has
the best boxing team that has repre-
sented it in the three years it has car
ried on the sport. 1t believes it stands
an even chance to win from the " P.
]. mittmen.
Maryland's basket ball team goes to
Baltimore tonight to play Johns Hop
kins IN what is regarded as the biggest
basket ball game of the year in the
State. Last year Maryland won both
contests with Hopkins, but right now
Hopkins is said to have better five,
while Maryland is not quite as strong.
GO far as can be foreseen right now
- there will be virtually no indoor
track and field competition for
local college teams. Georgetown plans
TO send one man, Al Kelley, TO take
part in sprint races in some OF the
Northern meets and Maryland is eX-
pecting to do the same with Earl Wild
myer and will also send a few men to
the indoor Southern Conference cham
pionshipS at Chapel Hill. The cancel
lation of the Catholic University meet
took away about the only opportunity
of colleges in this section to compete
in general indoor games.
This lack of opportunity for competi- |
ton is to be regretted for two reasons,
first, because it deprives men of the
meets where high values are placed on
competitive effort and, second, because |
it is bound to detract from track and |
field sports as an attractive type of ath- |
IpfiP nr1dpo in Hxt7inh opl1eCp
take part. In other words, the lack of
meets in which men may frequently
compete will considerably retard track
athletics as an intercollegiate sport.
JIMMY MULLIGAN coach Of George
towns track team knows about as
much about training men for a
quarter-mile race as any man living.
Mulligan has his own ideas, developed |
through long years of competition
against some of the greatest 440 men,
which he has translated into methods
that produce results Mulligan trains |
different types of men for the distance |
by different methods, but one idea that |
he has used in training that is seldom
seen is hardly ever to run his men the |
quarter mile at full speed
While he does lot of other work |
with them, he usually keeps them going |
from 800 to $50 yards at better than |
quarter speed, and from ATS to 500 |
at Just little slower than the quarter |
mile speed. Mulligan's idea is that the
stamina gained from running the longer
distance. plus the mental and physical
stimulation Of the race. will carry the
extra speed of the shorter distance on
through to the finish of the 440. And
his theory works out, because he has
never had under him a quarter miller
who has failed to run the distance bet
ter than even the runner expected TO.
TOACH FREDDY MESMER of the
~ Georgetown basket ball team has
not been satisfied with the work
of his players in practice this week
and a changed lineup may face St.
Johns of Brooklyn in the big game at
Tech High Friday night. The Hoyas
have failed to show the speed and dash
that carried them to victories over
Canisius and Colgate in the recent
Northern trip
Charles Purcells, guard, also injured
his ankle in practice and will not be
available Friday.
A preliminary game will be played
between the Hoya yearlngs and East
ern High at tbs and the Georgetown
Band will be on hand to help enliyen
the occasion.
I EADING 81 to IA at halftime and
- staving off late rally by the in
yaderS, the Catholic University
basketers last night gave Loyola of
Baltimore a 35-to-29 beating in the
Brookland Gym.
Bus Sheary, with his long and short
shots both working well, paced the
Cardinals to the victory with Is points.
Every time the visitors would start a
potential rally and get close Sheary
would net the ball to end the drive.
c. US team play, and particularly its
defensive work was highly efficient.
In a preliminary the Cardinal year.
linas handily defeated the Loyola fresh
men, 80 TO II.
