between the two teams, and
although the Old Liners are
heavy favorites to cop, an in
teresting battle should result, as
a torrid rivalry exists.
Besides this point, Maryland's
collection Of high scoring ex-
pertS will be in action to add to
their eMviouS scoring marks
which have become the "talk Of

Eagles to Play
But before this is thoroughly
discussed. there is one other con-
test on schedule tonight which
should attract its usual number

can University five. against a

This contest will be important
to the Eagles in that they will
be "in there" to snatch a victory
for themselves. It's true, Coach

but this hasn't been all their fault
as inexperience has handicapped
them from the start.
Rufus Vincent and Spencer
Chase, center and forward respec-
lively will be out to add to their
scoring 1aurels for Maryland to-
night. The first named lad has
always been the Old Line leader
with plenty to spare in seasons
of the past, but this year, Chase
has uncorked a bit of pressing
even though his total at present
is not as high as Vincent'S.
Averages Eight Per Game
vincent's exact total Is 11S for
is Games, which figures to an
average of eight per game. Chase's
total is 81 points for as many
games which is an average Of
five per game.

points for 20 contests, averaging

End of the Trail
For Max SchnueLing
He Left His Imprint

Max schmeling's comeback
road was not the long winding
route to q regained champion
ship that he had hoped to
travel.
Rather it was q short, treach-
erous path that ended when the
Philadelphia referee and judges
awarded unanimous decision
to the former Penn State ath-
lete, Steve Hamas, after q rug
ged fight in which Schmeling
was unable to hurdle the OBJ
Stacles which beset any inactive
fighter. Idleness gets the most
of them. It got Dempsey, and
he was among the best; and in
fact the best Of the semi
modern heavies.
Schmeling now has two alter
natives. He can hang around
and pad out his fortune with
whatever he can pick up against
the Grade x heavies or he can
go back to Germany to his beau
tiful Amy Ondra, and live hap
PLY ever after, as the fairy
books say. It is certainly the
end of the trail for the beetle
browed Dutchman who flashed
across the fight horizon in a
comparatively short career
which saw him leave his i'm
print thereon.
Some Good Fights
His knockout of Johnny
Risko, as tough as they come,
was a masterpiece. He made
mincemeat Of Mickey Walker,
another rough hombre who never
knew when he was licked, and
his whiting down Of Young
Stribbling after the latter had
established a lead in Cleveland,
was an example Of methodiCal
German plodding which accom-
plished its end with only a few
seconds of the last round to be
fought.
In his first Sharkey fight
Schmeling won the title while
writhing on the floor. and in
their second meeting Schmeling
was a sluggish champion and a
dethroned one at the end Of one
of the most disputed scraps
since the Chicago meeting be-
tween Dempsey and Tunney. In
that fight, you will remember,
the radio carried one story and
the newspapers quite another.
Many are not, even now, con-
vinced Of the actual winner.
Neither was Schmeling any
thing like a champion in his
fight with Baer, when the lat
ter caught him with a round
house swing that everyone in
the enclosure saw coming ex-
cept the one who should have
ducked or Sidestepped it.
Schmeling was equipped with
body-punching ability and some
boxing skill, but he lacked the
spark Of mental agility. This

at once into her subject.
MY sister Callie just called me up

With the calm satisfaction of one
who has just launched verbal bomb,
she continued to rock vigorously, as
she waited for the exclamations to
cease. The three faces before her re-
paid her for the trip across the hot
lawn.
Mrs. Briggs was gratifyingly shocked.

as Aunt Abby's way and left her
out of family conferences whenever it
was possible to do so. She was here
today on her own invitation, having
rushed over from her own comfort

Jeffrey. a year younger than his
sister, was taller and leaner-a hand
some, dark, impatient man. The
severity of his expression made him
seem more than his years until his
face lit with one of his rare and
charming smiles. The death of his
father eight years before had thrust
Jeffrey into the position of head of
the family. as well as guiding spirit
at the silk mills which formed its
fortune. The double responsibility
had robbed Jeffrey of his youth,
turned him serious beyond his years.
