jefferson believed in the little

when and where did anybody ever

Terps Strategy Tells.

FEW fans at the Maryland George.
town basket ball game at the
Tech High gym Friday night realized
what big part the Terps' strategy
played in their triumph.
Maryland played a man-for man
game all Of the first half but shifted
to Its normal zone defense, that had
been altered for the occasion, for the
last 20 minutes Of play when the
Terps ray away from the Hoyas.
In the second half, Coach Burton
Shipley of the Terps sent two men
almost up to the center line with the
other three spread across the floor
about two yards back. This was done
to break up Georgetown's offensive
passing in its incipiency and the re-
suits proved that it worked effectively.
When a Hoya broke through the first
line Of defense, he of course, was
picked up by the man who was sup
posed to take him."
