ington will wind up its schedule with
something of record for an average
score for all games during an entire
season. Certainly, as far as memory
serves, no other college in the East has
set as high an average OF points per
game through a completed schedule.
Several of George Washington's
games have been with easy teams,
against which it has run up exception
ally big scores, but it also has met
some strong teams, against which 1t
also scored freely. But, after all, as
Gil Dobie once remarked about foot
ball, 1t isn't SO much who you play,
but the number of games you win, that
counts
CEORGETOWN wound up its basket
" bail season Friday night with one
of the most brilliant victories it
has had on court in many years. Its
defeat of Pittsburgh was a remarkable
exhibition of gameness and fighting
quality. Notwithstanding that Pitt
came here with a record that few teams
in the country had eQualed, the Blue
and Gray carried the battle aggressively
the whole way Incidentally George
towns whole season has been one of its
best in years.
Marylands basket ball team, after
finishing its schedule Wednesday night
against Hopkins with well earned VIC
tory, went down to Raleigh for the
opening game of the Southern Confer
ence tournament and took its worst
trouncing since it first began to play
basket ball Ill earnest back in 1924.
And, according to those who watched
the contest ii such it could be called,
South Carolina simply was so much the
better team that Maryland was not in
the running. Every bound from the
blackboard resulted in a South Carolina
goal, because Maryland had no man
under its basket tall enough to get the
ball.
South Carolina ought to win the
championship" said Jack Faber, Mary
land freshman coach, this morning on
his return from Raleigh. While North
Carolina gave it terrible battle Sat-
urday, I think that was due more to
reaction South Carolina had from our
game than to any weakness, because
South Carolina expected to have its
greatest trouble with us. South Caro-
lima has the best looking college five
I've seen in long while. I'd back It.
to win any college game anywhere"
DERNIE KEENER, Maryland welter-
ID weight, certainly has had tough
luck in his two attempts in South
ern Conference boxing tournaments.
Last year in the first preliminary he
drew, and was outpointed by the man
who eventually went through to win
the title in his class. This year the
same thing happened. Keener went in
the ring in his first bout against Fish
burne of Virginia and lost on a decl-
sion Fishburne won the welterWelght
championship.
Of Maryland's other three boxers in
the tournament, McAboy was WlthdraWn
because of an infected tooth, Farrell
lost decision in the heavyweight semi
final and Burns lost decision to
Goldstein of Virginia in the final for
the lightweight title.
Just how good basket ball Georgetown
played in beating Pittsburgh, and just
how strong Pittsburgh really Is, was
shown Saturday, when the latter, alter
losing to Georgetown, went to Annap-
oils and beat Navy, 81 to ~. IL was
some trick for Pitt to beat Navy's great
five on Nays floor.
THE final of the Southern Confer
ence basket ball tournament at
Raleigh is to be played tonight at
Raleigh between Duke and South caro-
lima. The latter is favorite. Soutn
Carolina won from Duke some time ago
by quite a wide margin.
For every session of the Southern
Conference boxing tournament at VIZ
pinia Friday and Saturday the pig gym
nasium there was packed. spectators
returning from Charlottesville say that
it was impossible to take care comfort
ably of all those who wanted to Watcn
the contests. Probably there Is no other
place in the South where lnterco!leslats
boxing is as popular as at virginia, anu
probably a good deal OF this Is oue 10
the fine teams Virginia has SO CONSIST
emily developed.

Arthur ]. Bergman, director OF ath-
letics at c. u. announced that PacKey
7IcFarland, former world ngntWelgnt
champion, and recently appointed box
ing commissioner of Illinois, will alter
nate with Denny Hughes in refereelng
the matches.
Although the Brookland institution
was forced to forego the sport this sea-
son, members of the team have kept IN
training under Coach Eddie La Fond,
and are prepared to make good show
ing against the Terps, who have closed
a successful season under Lieut.. Har-
mone.
CPRING foot ball practice was to
- begin today at Catholic University,
with several familiar faces missing.
Coach Bergman loses Tom Whelan
and Capt. Bus Sheary, two Of the best
backs in the schools history. as well as
Winnie Fraatz end; Bingo Flynn, tackle;
Francis Donaher back; Max Billinger,
guard. and Johnny Stapleton, end, but,
important as these losses are, Bergman
Is far from pessimistic.
One ray of hope to Bergman was the
announcement that Ray Howe, promis-
ing end of 1881, will be able to play this
season. Injured in an accident last
year, Howe was unable to report for the
eleven, but he now is being looked upon
as the successor to FraatZ.
Bergman plans six weeks Of Spring
training With irtrasquad game each
week and several scrirnclcges against
other schools. e.
