Uses Height
To Triumph

Maryland converted an advan-
tage in height into four goals
from the floor against Nays bas-
ketball five last night and beat the
Middies by a score or 80 to 20.
The clever strategy Of the Terps,
which proved that tortoise can
do something besides win races
with rabbits, developed in the sec
ond half. Vic Willis, the 6-foot-5
center of the Old Liners, broke
loose from the close guarding OF
Lynch, the future Admiral, and
raced in close to the basket.
It was a simple matter for the
floor men of Maryland to aim
their passes at the roof, so that
Willis could reach up and tip them
into the basket. Vic did just this
four times in the last 10 minutes
of the game, and his skill made
the game safe for the Old Liners.
Terps Off Winging
It was a rip rarin' game most OF
the way. Maryland was off wing
ing, but the Navy put on steam
and fought the thing right down to
half time, at which point Mary
land led by a score of IL to 10.
Action began with the whistle in
the second half, and it was point
for point until finally foul shot
gave the Terps a lead of 20 to II.
Then Willis resorted to his
under-the-basket strategy. Break
ing away from Lynch, Navy cen
ter, who had been putting up a
pretty fair job Of guarding Willis
all day, the towering Marylander
Streaked under the basket, taking
swift passes from Bernie Buscher
or AL Waters and converting them
into points. Lynch, dwarfed by
Willis feet 5 inches, was at a
distinct disadvantage, cropping fu-
tilely as Willis pushed through
the winning points.
Safely in the lead, Maryland
took possession Of the ball in the
last three minutes of play, pre-
venting Navy from filling the r.
point gap between victory and
defeat.
Schmarr Scores 8
Hermie Schmarr, brilliant end
of the Catholic University football
team, was a team in himself
against the Green Terrors of West
ern Maryland, leading the Flying
Cardinals to victory by score of
A to 80.
Schmarr scored eigth goals from
the floor and two from the foul
line to raise his total for the night
to 10 points.
1t was very good thing for the
Cardinals that Hermie was in a
scoring mood, for on the other
side, Stan Banjamin, a Slashing
end of the Terror, was matching
the local star point for point and
shot for shot.
Schmarr, however, had little
bit better aid from his teammates,
and after leading by count of 16
to IA at half time, the Cards whip.
ped out in front in the second
half.
New York University, the sensa-
ton of Eastern courts, crushed
North Carolina on the floor at
Madison Square Garden last night
with $4,000 spectators in the house.
The score was SIS to 33.
The violent Violets went out and
piled up a crushing first half lead.
When the teams left the floor the
score was 20 to in favor of New
York. In the second half New
York used practically all of its re-
serves, and still did pretty we'll.
The Blue Devils Of Duke Uni
versity trimmed the five of Army
at West Point last night by score
of 81 to 20. This game was a
whiz bang battle from start to fin
iSh. The teams left the floor at
half time with the count standing
tied at 14-all, and not until the
last minute did Duke win. Then
Huiskamp Melted two goals and
that was that.
