7 UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
| is to come to Washington
~ next year to open the Uni
versity of Maryland basket
ball schedule. Word came from
Ann Arbor this morning closing
the date of December 10. Michigan
is to play two games on the trip,
the first being with Pennsylvania
at Philadelphia, November 16.
This will be Michigans first visit to
this section In basket ball and one of
the few trips Michigan teams in any
sport have made here. Several years
ago the foot ball team met Navy in
Baltimore, but, besides that, it cannot
be remembered when Michigan team
visited in these parts. Michigan's base
ball team formerly took long trips to
the South, but nearly always went
down through Kentucky, Tennessee,
Alabama and Georgia.
Michigan's basketers will leave Phila-
delph1a Immediately after the game
with Penn and spend the following Sum-
day and Monday as guests of the Mary
landers. For practically all of them it
will be their first trip to the Nations
Capital.
THIS will be the third consecutive
i year in which Maryland has
opened its basket ball schedule
with Western Conference five. Two
fHa vi %1
to play Wisconsin and last season Wis
consin visited College Park. Wisconsin
invited the Old Liners back to Madison
on another two-year arrangement, but
1t has not yet been determined whether
or not the local school can 70 out to
Madison this coming Fall.
The basket ball game between Mich
igan and Maryland will be the second
In which they have met. Four years
ago the Old Liners went out 10 Ann
Arbor, where Michigan won by a small
margin. Unless something happens not
now expected, Maryland should have a
better quint on the floor next season
than during the one recently closed.
Every member of last seasons squad Is
to rtturn, while two or three from the
freshman team have been showing I'D
well enough to warrant the opinion
that they ought to stand an excellent
chance OF giving the varsity players a
real run for regular bcrths.
GEORGE WASHINGTONs venture
" into night base ball will be watched
with good deal CT interest. The
Colonials plan to hold forth at Clark
Griffith Stadium and to put on, in con-
junction with their games, wrestling
shows and other forms Of entertain-
ment
Maybe the wrestling and other shows
Will prove attractive, but so far. except
for few games years ago between
Georgetown and Virginia, Georgetown
never been very successful in these
parts.
Anyway, it should be an interesting
experiment. and if the Colonials put il
across successfully they will deserve a
good deal of credit for their venture
and their faith in it.
TOACH BURTON sH1PLEY expects
~ to have much better base ball
team this Spring than the one that
wore Maryland colors last year, despite
the TACT he lost by graduation such
men as Chalmers and Berger.
We may not be able to replace Ber-
ger and Chalmers with men as good as
they were, as individuals. but for the
team as a whole We should have suf-
hclent additional strength in other DO
SltionS to more than make up for their
loss" said Shipley.
incidentally, Chalmers is back at the
university assisting in the physical edu-
catlon department. He recently took
over the work left by Berger, who has
joined the Cleveland club.
Incidentally, Chalmers probably will
90 some work in helping teach Mary-
land backs to throw forward passes.
Cnalmers probably was, McQuade ex-
cepted, the most consistent forward
passer Maryland ever had, and IL is
!eit out at College Park that he should
be able to 1mpart at least some of his
knowledge and mechanical deftness To
the men who will hurl the bali next
Fail IN regular contests.
A LOCAL representative Of a big
a sports goods concern said today
that the tightness Of money In the
college athletic treasures Is easily eyi-
dent from the way in which orders are
Delng placed for equipment. He SAYS
e4Ao0 iio OPiuS WlII1lu MS WnOle career
as sports goods distributor has found
MIN up against such sales resistance al
he now is encountering.
And not only does that hold rood
for Spring teams, but also for the
Fall shipments Of foot ball goods.
Where the colleges and schools always
ordered entire new outfits they now are
simply ordering replacement pieces and
fll-Out uniforms.
In other words, this Spring and next
Fall on the same teams some men will
be decked out In new outfits, some in
part old and part new. and some
entirely in old, whereas in former years
teams always appeared at the beginning
OF a season in new uniforms complete
for everybody. And sometimes after
that for single games ordered complete
new outfits for the whole squad.
