land teams are scheduled
~ should feature athletic
competition this week
among local colleges. The Old
Liners meet three of the biggest
Southern universities in basket
ball and another in boxing.
Three of the Southern schools
are to appear at College Park as
features of week end activities
following midyear examinations
Tuesday, Maryland's basket ball team
goes to Charlottesville for the first of
two games with Virginia 1t is to be
idle from then until Friday, when it
will entertain the University of North
Cardinals basketerS in Ritchie Coliseum
This is likely to be one of the most at
tractive games of the year, inasmuch as
all students who expect to attend the
RoSSbourg dance Immediately after the
game have been notified that they may
bring their girls to the game as their
guests without cost.
Saturday night, University of Geor
gia. which last year won the Southern
Conference championship, is to show
its wares in Ritchie Coliseum at c
o'clock and Immediately after Duke Uni
Versitys boxing team will line up
against Maryland. This is TO be an
other double bill such as was held when
Virginia Polytechnic Institutes boxing
and basket ball teams appeared here
against Maryland, week before last.
Wednesday is the final day of exam
nations and the balance of the week
will be rather gala occasion for the
Maryland students. The annual Junior
prom is to be held Thursday night the
Rossbourg dance Friday night, and a
tea dance Saturday afternoon. Practi-
cally all the fraternities have house
parties over the week end.
THE boxing match between Maryland
i and Duke Saturday night should be
about the most interesting in which
Maryland ever has participated. Duke
defeated " P I. by the same score that
Maryland won here week ago, which
seems to indicate little difference in
the Maryland and Duke squads. Duke
is coached by Ad Warren. former North
Carolina star boxer, who later turned
professional.
CALLAUDET is scheduled to make a
" three-day basket ball trip this week.
Thursday it plays Philadelphia
College at Philadelphia, Friday meets
Upsala College at East Orange. and
Saturday goes against Long Island Uni
versity at Brooklyn. This will BE- one
of the longest trips the Kendall Green
ers have taken in some time.
"A MEXICAN UNIVERSITY is looking
"A forward to meeting Randolph
Macon here Friday night as the
game means an opportunity to get even
for the one-point defeat the local school
suffered at Randolph Macon some time
ago. A. U. expects to turn the tables.
CEORGE WASHINGTON and Cath
" olic University entertain respec-
lively Elon College and Baltimore
University Saturday night in the only
games they play this week. George
washington Should win easily. but
Catholic University may have real job
bn its hands.
tCEORGETOWN also plays only one
NJ game this week, that being with
Loyola College at Baltimore. The
Blue and Gray is good enough to take
Goyolas s measure even on Loyola's home
FLOOR although that does not mean 1t IS
Eertain to do so.
a GOOD deal is being written about
Il n IEe pEODdUlllly VI lllc TOoI DoiA
Rules Committee placing broad
curb on the forward pass in the way OF
some restrictive rule when the commit
tee meets week after next.
The committee may do SO, but II
should do good deal of sound thinking
before it takes such a step. With the
present trend Of things in the athletic
world the time is not far distant when
"a general return to oldt-Ine supremacy

,the small schools hardly will be able to
measure up in any branch Of athletics
TO the larger ones.
Under such conditions a curblng oi
the forward pass probably will tend to
tbring about this return to old condl-
,tions little sooner than ordinarily
Knight be the case. The forward pass lS
about the only weapon that the small
,team has against the big team. because
to carry consistent running attack
against an eleven better equipped Ii
man power is almost Impossible.
Then those that think that changes
calculated to curb the forward pass
are going to be made easily seem to
shave lost sight of the fact that one
of the new members of the committee,
sand a member who will be influential,
lis one of the greatest opponents OF the
afrea and unrestricted use of the pass.
THAT new member is Fielding Yost, ana
to expect him to yield up his most
potent offensive weapon is not SHOW
ing any great knowledge OF human
nature.
Not Yost,s nature anyway, because he
is not one to yield easily IN matters
where he has decided conviction. 1t
lalso is worth noting that one ccacn

tdom in the use of the pass, as he is cut
with a suggestion that man pass from
anywhere behind the line of scrimmage
instead Of yards back.
That suggestion, however, is not
likely to pass. as it would create
situation in which forward passing
jwould become such a factor in often
sive play that it is difficult to under
stand how an offensive team could
be stopped, without almost constant
ifouling
| Yost is a dynamic person, with
.strong convictions and ability to pre-
tsent his convictions, and his influence
as member of the rules committee on
foot ball will be interesting to observe.
i1F CHICAGO places Clark Shaugh-
i messy in charge Of its foot ball squad
it will have a man as head coach
who can get about as much out OF
group of pigskin handlers as anybody
else Shaughnessy was a successful
coach at Tulane for many years, and
tthen was importuned, because of large
salary offers, to step across the way
little and take charge of Loyola Of New
tOrleans.
At Loyola Shaugfnessy also made
good and probably he could hold that
Job as long as he cares to keep it, How
ever, few coaches can resist the tempta-
ton to break into the circle of the Big
Ten once such an opportunity opens.
