TO START PROJECT
Senator Tydings to Reveal
Scheme Tonight Before
IN" Club Banquet.
BY H. c. BYRD.

r of the University of Mary
i land IN" Club tonight at
College Park, just before the
basket ball game between Mary
land and Virginia, Senator Millard
E. Tydings, president of the
Alumni Association, will gather
with officials of the "M' Club and
launch plans for a memorial to
Maryland athletes who have dis
tinguished themselves in the va
fious fields of life.
Senator Tydings has been quietly
working on the project for some time,
has had an architect draw plans for
presentation at today's meeting, and, it
Is understood, actually has available
funds to begin construction as soon as
weather conditions permit.
I'VE want this memorial to become
legendary among Maryland men," said
Senator Tydings this morning, "arld 1t
Is possible that we shall erect it near
the new coliseum. Our plans for 1t are
about complete, even to financing, and
I see no reason why we should not
near future. am hopeful of getting
it started within the next two months.
The memorial, as designed by a local
architect, Howard " Cutler, Is to be
in the nature Of a small shrine, with
insets in the walls in which to place
tablets bearing the names of Maryland
men who have rendered distinguished
services to the university. We have in
mind such men. for instance, as DR..
r. xr,y,A hi 1ifa chnrf1u flor
the Spanish-American War in his ef-
forts to discover the source Of infection
Of yellow fever"
THE M Club viii have both the
i Virginia and Maryland basket ball
teams at the dinner, and Jimmie
Driver, athletic director at Virginia is
to be the guest speaker. Two or three
members Of the M Club also will give
short talks.
The basket ball game will start little
later than usual. as it has been showed
back to o'clock instead of the usually
BIS beginning. The dinner is to be
held at $50.
Virginia whipped Maryland at Char
lottesville some time ago, and naturally
desires to repeat However. the, Old
Line five has been coming along since
that and now is playing much better
basket ball. Probably the contest will
be nip and tuck the whole way.
MOT only is Maryland meeting
IN team tonight that ms whipped It
once this year, but it also meets
another Saturday night under the same
condition. Maryland was trimmed by
Washington and Lee at Lexington early
in January by a marrow margin, and
washington and Lee follows Virginia
here with game Saturday night. Tne
Washington and Lee contest Saturday
will be the first half of a double bill,
with Virginia Military Institute meet
ing Maryland in the second half In
boxing.
Gus Tebell, coaching Virginia's bas-
ket ball team, Is one OF the best men
In the East. He has turned out success
full teams wherever he has coached,
and his stay at Virginia Is not proving
an exception. When he was at North
Carolina State he had strong fives, and
IS one of the few coaches that all OPP
posing coaches fear, just because he is
always working out something just
little different to throw against them.
Tebell personally is the kind OF quiet,
capable and efficient, yet pleasing and
modest chap that everybody likes.
Rex Enright, who was here last week
with Georgia's basket ball team, says
that Spring foot ball has started gen.
orally in that section. Eight or 10
weeks of the most difhcult kind OF
practice are in store for the various
squads Up in this section. Virginia
and North Carolina have men attend
ing classroom instruction in gridiron
theory and tactics, and as soon as
weather permits they, too, will 60 into
strenuous workouts outside.
WEARS ago there was chap around
marathons and long-distance races
generally, and attaining unusual sue
cess. In fact, he continues to run at
an age at which people marvel at his
physical stamina, at his seeming ability
to keep the fire and reserve strength
Of youth. That man is Mike Lynch,
and last night he gloried in watching
his two sons attain heights of athletic
triumph in playing the biggest part as
members Of the Mount st. Mary's bas-
ket ball team in defeating Georgetown,
40 to 80. One of his sons got six field
goals and three from the foul line, and
the other three field goals and one
from the foul line, making a total Of
more than half their teams points.
They both were brilliant and reflected
credit on their father as perfect ex-
amples of the clean physical and men
tai life he has preached to them as
the chief aim of earthly attainment.
