Why Englishnen
Had Long Shorts

YOU'VE often seen pictures Of
English athletes wearing long
ish pants and sleeved singlets?
Well, here Is the reason. Some Of
the competitors In the 1908 games
wore costumes which are the vogue
today-short pants and low-cut
singlets.
Queen Alexandra was shocked
Gin those days women only imag-
ined that men had thighs and
gave it out as her express desire
that English athletes would always
wear sleeves in their singlets and
pants that would reach the knees
A long time passed before English
athletes adopted common sense
athletic costumes.

Hoya Line Is Powerful.

CEORGETOWN'S line has presented
many knotty problems to oppo-
nents and has been one ray of sun
shine in rather dreary year, but
Maryland also has produced some
rather aggressive and talented per-
formers up front. Blair Smith is a
sweetheart at end, while the bullish
Mike Surgent and Willie Wolfe have
manufactured some of the finest
guard play seen in this sector. From
end to end, Marylands line seems on
q par with the Hoyas' Snyder, Shuker,
Hardy, Stralka, ct al.
The Hoyas, at times. have displayed
q notorious weakness against passes.
Lafayette and Manhattan beat em
through the air. Maryland also has
had its jittery moments on pass
defense, but not as many.
II they're forced to play on a muddy
field, the edge must 60 to Maryland.
The Terps wallowed in an oozy mess
to upset Syracuse and performed cred-
itably on Penn States slick turf.
Georgetown's alleged fleetness afoot,
on the other hand, would be stripped
Of much Of its effectiveness.
Georgetown gamely has struggled
against demoralizing early season set
backs and appears to have recovered
remarkably. but We feel it hasn't
snapped back quite far enough. It's
scoring punch isn't exactly a kayo

GEV|NSON LOSES
GROUND WINNING
Decision Over Jarami||o in
Dull Bout Booed-Latter
Good Retreater.
By BURTON HAWKINS.

TNHE popularity OF Lou GeFlnSOn,
rudder-beaked local feather
weight, was on the decline to-
4 day, and Lou still is on the
flstic treadmill with much to learn
as result of vociferously booed
10-round majority decision victory
over Christobal Jaramillo last night
at Turner's Arena.
Jaramillo, a curly-haired Puerto
Rican, authored probably the great
est retreat in local ring history, but
most of the fans felt he was slap
ping Lou more frequently than Gev-
inson was punching him. All of which
boils down to matter of styles-ag-
gressiveness against a dull back-ped-
aling of1ense that actually was more
of a defensive measure.
Heinie Miller, secretary of the Dis
trict Boxing Commission and Mary
land boxing coach, thought Jaramillo
deserved the verdict. while Eddie La
Fond. local referee and Catholic Uni
versity ring tutor, felt the decision
in Gevinson's favor was justified.
Both were mere spectators but well
versed in boxing. It serves only to
illustrate the fight conceivahly could
have gone either way
Gevinson Chases Foe.
1ARAMILLO'S offense for the first
=" five rounds consisted of scamper-
ing away from Gevinson as rapidly
as possible, nicking light blows oc-
casionally in his retreat. Gevinson,
meanwhile, was forcing the fight, al
though missing all too frequently.
Still. had not Lou chased Christobal
there very probably would have been
no fight. The Puerto Rican was that
intent on escaping damage.
Some ringworms were inclined to
feel Jaramillo's pattern was brainy.
but the coffee-colored lad hardly was
commended for this in the early stages
of the argument, when fans were
chorusing, Come on. you yellow bum,
stand up and fight" His brainy
maneuvering seemed prompted only by
the same kind of fear that would
make him run away from blast Of
dynamite.
When Jaramillo elected to exchange
punches with Lou, Gevinson gained a
decided edge. but the sharp-faced local
lad still is woefully lacking in ring
generalship. There were occasions
when Lou should have stopped the
scrap. but the well-timed blow that
would have stretched his foe never
came. Still, Lou outmaneuvered Jara-
milo in every phase Of the game ex-
cept scurrying from the scene Of ac-
ton.

Mondorff's Toe a Threat.
IF THE game is close and MARYLAND

lHE game is close ana Maryland
within striking distance the en-
phatic boots of stocky Pershing Mon
dorf may be the deciding factor. His
. timely field goals twice have turned
the tide to Maryland this season. If
Georgetown has some one to match
him, he is, like the ghostly kicking CO.
ed, still unveiled.
Maryland's Jim Meade won't suf-
fer in comparison with Georgetown's
Joe Mellendick when the teams resort
to punting and there's sneaking
suspicion that Meade, as a ball car
rier, will hamper the Hoyas consid-
erably more than they anticipate.
Meade. who heretofore has relied
chiefly on sheer power and a keen
sense Of timing to gobble up yardage.
tried something new and highly sue
cessful against Penn State. He now
is more dangerous with that leather
under his arm because he has learned
to cut back-something that wasn't
included in his repertoire previously.
Even with slippery ball, Maryland's S
Charley Weidinger completed IL out
of 81 passes for total gain of 1875
yards against Penn State. George
towns Tommy Keating tipped seven
passes against N. Y U. with an equally
treacherous oval, but connected only
on two for total gain of Is yards.

ny bUn1ON nav NhlNS.
THIS Georgetown Maryland con-
troversy, which will be settled
by dusk Saturday, has angles
4 galore, but most Of those angles
favor Maryland. The Terps definitely
aren't splitting at the seams despite
seven successive bitterly contested
games with a modicum of reserve
strength.
True, Penn State snapped Mary
lands five-game winning streak, but
If anything, that 21-l4 defeat served
only to illustrate its abundance of what
commonly is referred to as CUTS"
Maryland came from behind to whiE
v. M. l., spotted Penn State two touch
downs and then whitfield the Nittany
Lions down to even terms at 14-l4
Stopped on the 1-yard line on its
third goalward surge, Maryland fought
back to the 2-yard line before being
stopped again. Undaunted, the Terps
drove from deep in their own territory
IN the waning moments before a pass
interception interrupted another touch
down gesture on the 8-yard line. Yeah,
they pay off on touchdowns, but that
type Of courage hardly is deficit and
sooner or later will reap dividends.
Won't Be Fooled Again.
DEM STATES winning touchdown,
a reverse around Maryland's right
end, was executed smoothly, but Bill
Bryant. the guilty Terp wingman on
that play, doesn't figure to be fooled
like that again. He realized his mis-
take in crashing in almost immedi-
ately, but recovered too late to halt the
deeting 150-pound Harry Harrison.
Coach Frank Dobson anticipated
that nnaneuver and ordered Nick Bud
koff, who had smeared the same play
previously for 5-yard loss, into ac-
ton. Nick couldn't race on the field
in time and Dobson's correct diagnosis
was nullified by. that touchdown romp.
Getting back to the subject, how
ever, Maryland appears better bal
anced outfit. Speed probably is the
only department where Georgetown is
superior, but if past history is any
criterion, that hardly has proved a
bonanza to the Hoyas. Georgetowns
speed hasn't blinded any opponents to
date.
