w as its opponent in bas-
Y Y ket ball and Duke Uni
versity in boxing, the
University of Maryland tonight
stages what should be the most
attractive athletic event Of the
Winter for local colleges.
Especially is this true after the
surprising vict tory Maryland
scored over North Carolina last
night in basket ball. Georgia, it
was thought, should have quite a
margin on the Old Liners, but
that will not be true If the latter
play anywhere close to the
standard they set in trimming the
Tarheels.
Tonight marks about the high-wster
point for general competition, as every
local college Is to engage in at least
one contest. All six play basket ball
games, four on home floors. Catholic
University faces Baltimore University
in what may be difficult game, George
Washington should have an easy time
beating Elcn, while American University
is hoping to avenge the defeat it SUI
fered at the hands of Randolph Macon,
ct Ashland some time ago, when 1t
meets that school here. The fourth
game is une Geo. ga Maryland bal.le.
0eorge.oWn pays away WI.n LoyoIa OF
BalrlmCre and JallauueG tries COnclu-
SionS with Long lslano University, at
BroC Cklyn.
WHILE the basket ball teams and
w boxers are coming here, George
town and Maryland people will be
watching closely the Millrose track
games in Eew York, where the former
has relay team against Brown and
Fordham and one entry in the sprint
race, and the later has its star sprlnter,
Widmyer, in the 60-yard invitation
dash. Widmyer has been working hard
In trying to improve his first 20 yards,
his getaway from the mark, and seems
to have succeeded a good deal. He will
be in competition with most Of the best
sprinters in the country. which means
in the world as will Kelly of George
town, entered in the same event.
CEORGIAS basket ball team is made
" up Of about as husky q crowd as
one ever sees on basket ball floors.
The Bulldogs literally fought their way
through to Southern Conference
championship last year, and with one
exception they are said to have the
miss is Catfish Smith, undoubtedly one
Of the greatest competitive athletes Of
this generation.
DUKE UNIVERSITY has two boxers
l. in its lineup said to be headed for
Southern Conference titles. They
are Lloyd in the 125-pound class and
Sides in the 145-pound. The former
will face Carroll and the latter Keener.
who have won both the matches they
have fought for Maryland this year
against Washington and Lee and V. P. I.
One man at Maryland last night, who
has been sticking close to the boxing
team all year, remarked that "if we can
win two Of the first four matches We'll
beat Duke"
All the basket ball games scheduled
here start at o'clock. At Maryland
the boxing matches are to begin as
soon as the court tilt winds up.
CEoRGE WASHINGTON may not
" have it so easy against Elon as it
seeks its eighth win in IL starts.
Though slightly regarded as foot ball
power, Elon is rated highly in basket
ball circles, and on its last visit to
Washington two years ago gave George
Washington a hot contest before drop
ping a one-point decision.
Coach D. c. Walker has named the
following lineup for the Elon squad,
which will make its headquarters at the
Annapolis Hotel while in the Capital:
Capt. Hughes and Simpson, guards;
johnson, center; Smith and Senter, for
wards.
Coaches Pixlee and OLeary have
definitely assigned young Jimmy Howell
Of Wick Parrack, high scoring star who
became ineligible last week. Howell will
team up with Forest Burgess, while the
remainder of the Colonial array will be
the same as usual
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY cannot af-
~ ford to take the Baltimore Univer-
sity FIVE too lightly. The Monu-
mental City school has in its lineup
some capable players, and If they go at
top speed may give the Brooklanders
all the trouble they want, and maybe
more. The same thing is true of George
town against Loyola over in Baltimore.
RandolphMacon won from American
University short while back by
margin of only 2 points and the latter
thinks that the advantage of its own
floor should give it just little better
than an even chance for victory tonight.
Anyway, American U. thinks 1t has
good chance to even up for defeat.
MARYLAND'S victory over North
was entirely unexpected. From
the way Maryland had been going and
the brilliant record made by North
Carolina, no one expected the Old
Liners to do more than nose out If
they were able to do that. Yet the Old
Liners turned to and simply walked
away with the game, AZ to 90. Chase
played brilliant basket ball for the local
school, perhaps the best of his career.
And the general teamwork Of Maryland
was far better than anything 1t has
shown in previous contests.
Maryland got hot hand right at the
outset of the game and after 10 minutes
of play had a 14-to-1 lead. Then
North Carolina got its first field goal
and spruced up bit for the remainder
of the half to trail only 9-19 at inter-
mission.
North Carolina once got as close as
6 points in the last half but the Old
Liners spurted again and put the game
beyond the reach Of the Tarheels.
