Development
Rapid, Says
Shirley
By GARRETT WATERS


It's been q long hard pull to
get swimming on a winning basis
at Western High School. But
Dallas Shirley, coach Of the
0eorgetowners, believes all the
effort has not been in vain.
The Georgetowners have been
in seven meets this season. Three
have been won and four lost. This
record is splendid considering per-
formances Of past years, since 1t
brings out the Improvement the
team has generated over a span
Of three campaigns.
Beat G. w, FrOsh
The teams chief victory this
season was over the q. W. Fresh
men, A real comeback had to
rule in this instance, as the Frosh
defeated shirley'S charges in an
earlier meeting during the Sched-
ule.
Then there were the victories
over the western Alumni and
the Junior Y. M. C. A. team,
the latter also coached by Shir-
ley. The boys rose to unexpected
heights in these meets and the
fact triumphs were registered
gave them q feeling they had
talent after all.
The four meets entered on the
wrong side of the ledger were
against Baltimore City College,
Massenutten Military Academy,
the Senior Y. M. C.. A. and the
G. W. FroSh. Coach Shirley
and his youngsters didn't feel
entirely downhearted after losing
these matches, since they real.
lied they had met experienced
and polished opponents.
Don Smith is the "fish" Of the
WeSterners. He's in the water all
the time at practice sessions and,
as you might realize, exceedingly
enthusiastic over the sport.
Don was born in China and
has been in this country only
10 months. His father Is with
the Standard Oil Company and
is expected to be transferred
back to China in June, thereby
taking one Of Coach Shirley's
best prospects from the team.
220-Style Expert
Smith is q 220fres-sty1e expert.
In recent months he's defeated
Ernie Boggs twice and on one oc-
casion covered the 220 d1star1ce In
2:33-excellent time in any mans
league.
Others on the team include Ed
Murphy, captain and free styler:
Russ Bishop, 1O0-yard free style:
AL Hamn, 5O-yard free style: AL
jenkins, 22O-yard free style: Hun
ter Reinburg, diver. Dave Sher-

Western closes its season to-
night with q match against the
Senior Y. M. c. A. This match
will serve as a preliminary to the
District A. A. q. indoor champion

urday at the Shorehanl Pool. Both

Fitx's Spar Mate
Another heavyweight fatality
was that Of Con Coughlin, spar
ring partner Of Bob Fitzsimmons
whose passing was solely attribu
table to o blow in the ring. Mike
Ward met a similar end, as die
Harry Tenny and frankie Je
rome. There may have beer
other remote cases, and probably
were. Ring records are not prone
to treat Of such cadaverous mat
terS.
However, the manly art
seamy business that 1t is, doe'
not produce the. fatalities that
several other sports, such as foot
ball, do; although boxing is no
torious for softening up its par
Elephants to the extent that they
are easy prey for the common
diseases to which mankind il

Heart disease and tuberculosis
are the more frequent ailments

the ring their calling. Blindness

who escaped with their health
and for the most part their

Boxing sent Ad Wolgast, Char

It paralyzed their nerves and

The ring has killed outright
only a handful Of its subjects,

Undoubtedly it slowly ruins

Scheduling Penn
ReCaIIs0IdLin
Win in 1923

Announcement by the UniverL
Sity Of Maryland that the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania had been
scheduled as one of the 10 foot
ball opponents for 1897 brings to
mind the TerpS' sensational 3-to-O
victory over the Red and Blue on
Franklin Field on October 6, 1928.
It was the last time they met on
the gridiron.
Penn State, a newcomer, is the
second addition to the 1887 card
and it will be the first time the
Nittany Lions and the Terps have
battled in football.
But to get back to the 1923
battle between Maryland and
Penn. It was Johnny Groves, for.
mer Western High School athlete
and now holding an Important
position in the ,aeronauticS divis
sion Of the Department of Com
merce, who kicked the winning
points. Groves was called into
the game for the second time that
day with about q minute left to
play and he booted the ball
Squarely across the bar from the
15-yard mark.
Ten from ID. G. Schools
Thirteen gridders performed for
Maryland that day and 10 of them
were former Washington high
school grads. They were: Bill
Supplee and Pat Lanigan, ends;
Irving Hall and John Hough,
guards; Joe Burger, tackle, and
Ed Pugh and George Heine, backs.
all from Tech; George rosy Pol
lock, center from Central; Groves,
from Western, and Jack McQuade,
fullback, from Eastern.
Walter Bromley, tackle, and
Tubby Branner, back, from the
Eastern Shore of Maryland, and
Kirk Besley, back, from Baltimore,
complete the array who stunned
$4,000 fans by humbling the
Quakers.
And all Of them have made
their mark since leaving the Old
Line institution.
Supplee and Besley both hold
Phi. DIS, the former still being
connected with the University as
chemist, and the latter has q
position Of Importance with tho
experimental farm Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture at nearby
BeltSville; Hall and Branner are
in business in Washington and
Baltimore, respectively; Bromley
is regional director for western
Maryland for the ReSettlement
Administration; George Heine is
in charge Of the finest ice cream
plant in the South at Atlanta for
large concern; Pollock is alumni
secretary and an assistant in ath-
leticS at the University, and Nc.
Quade, Hough, Burger, Lanigarf,
and Pugh are captains in the Ma
rine Corps having had unusually
rapid rise.
NOSed Out by Yale
This same squad later in the
1928 season went to New Haven
and outplayed Yale's eastern
championship team, but finally
lost out by 16 to II. Groves scored
both touchdowns in that game on
passes from McQuade and Just
missed dropkick in the late min
uteS that would have won.
Supplee was a choice on many
all-America teams that year and
he, McQuade, Hough, and Burger
have earned places on all all-time
Maryland elevens that have been
selected.
Maryland's 1897 card in all con-
tainS four big northern teams, as
Syracuse played to a ScorelesS tie
last fall, continues on. the list. It
cuts the Terps' Southern Confer
ence games down to three, as
North Carolina and Virginia Tech,
on the 1886 schedule, will be miss.

will be. They concede that the vote
on the amendments will be much
smaller than the vote for Roosevelt
and Hoey, probably not more than
half as large. But with the leaders
and leading candidates of both par
ties advocating the adoption of the
amendments, they are confident that
they will be adopted.
A great many others, however, in
GLIDING many who who would like to
see all or most of the amendments
adopted, are exceedingly pessimistic
and inclined to believe they are much
more likely to be defeated than to be
adopted. These point out that in the
first place, the tendency of the cleo
torate in North Carolina is to vote
against constitutional amendments
no matter how worthy or how de-
sirable they may he, especially if the
purpose is not we'll understood It is
also agreed that many. people, al
though opposed to only one or two
amendments, will vote against all five
in order to be sure to vote against the
In the second place, it is maintained
that people are generally more likely
to vote against something than for
something, with the result that those
opposed to the amendments are likely
to vote against them in larger num-
Der than ttloce who favor them will
vote for them.
Still another factor regarded as un-
favorable to all the amendments. is
the fight being waged against parti-
cular amendments by particular
groups and the report that the Re
publicans generally are opposed to all
CT the amendments, despite the fact
that most of the Republican candid
ates have openly Endorsed them. The
State Association of County Commits
sioners is fighting all of the amend
ments in order to kill the $1,000 home
stead exemption amendment, while
the North Carolina League O. Mu-
inequalities is also fighting the home
stead exemption amendment. The
North Carolina Education Association
and the school teachers are believed
to be unfriendly to the homestead ex-
emptiOn amendments because they
fear they may serve to limit the levy
ing of taxes for school purposes and
hence reduce their salaries or make
it harder to get increased salaries in
the future.
Those who favor the adoption of
the amendments, however, and who
believe they will be adopted, point out
that the bitter fight which has been
made on the $1,000 property exemp-
ton may prove a boomerang and re-
suit not only in the adoption of that
