He didn't like foot ball-but he
was one of the best halfbacks the

He was a college third baseman,

put in the last of his two-year

He looks on his big opportunity

MEET DUKE QU|NT,
y. N. |. RING TEAM
Favored at Boxing, Rated
Even in Court Battle
Tomorrow Night.
BY HI. C. BYRD.

r UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
faces Duke in basket ball
J and Virginia Military Insti-
tute in boxing tomorrow
night at College Park in the first OF
five such double competitions it has
scheduled this Winter. The basket
ball game is to begin at o'clock and
the boxing meet Immediately after
the basketers conclude their setto.
The Old Line basketers will be up
against a stern proposition in all
probability. Last year they won from
Duke by scoring IL points in the
last four minutes. If Maryland is
compelled to play without Vic Willis,
its big center, who was threatened
with appendicitis, it will start the
underdog. If he is in the lineup
the chances should be about even,
with the prospect of the hardest kind
of a fight. Duke and Maryland have
staged some great court struggles in
years gone by, and rather surprls-
ingly, Duke has year in and year out
proved the most attractive basket ball
team that has played here, as far as
attendance is concerned.
Coach Burton Shipley has not stated
Just what he will do if Willis is not
available to play center. Probably he
will put Andorka in that position,
which was the shift he made against
v. M. I. Tuesday night. Willis,
though, apparently has recovered COM
pletely.

Two Face Handicaps.

~ORNELL. as we'll as Dartmouth,
has been handicapped in its
schedule making in recent years
by the relative isolation of its home
grounds and the inability, therefore.
to offer as much inducement in gate
receipts as rivals situated in or near
centerS of population. 1t is for
strictly practical reasons, for instance,
that Cornell plays Pennsylvania at
Franklin Field annually, while Dart
mouths engagements with Harvard,
Yale and Princeton so far have all
been booked for the stadiums of the
old Big Three"
Yale plays Pennsylvania at Phila-
delphia this year, but Columbia, the
opening opponent last season, is not
on the 1885 Eli schedule. The natural
rivalry between Princeton and CO.
lumbia also has been allowed to lapse
for the time being.
Here's how the big Seven" are
scheduled to play among themselves
this year:
Columbia VS. Cornell and Pennsyl-
vania Cornell VS.. Columbia, Dart
mouth and Pennsylvania. Dartmouth
VS.. Cornell, Harvard, Princeton and
Yale Harvard VS.. Dartmouth, Prince
