"The elimination of the center
jump in basketball this year, is
best thing that ever happened to
the floor game"
These are the enthusiastic words
of Coach Burton Shipley of the
University of Maryland as he
girds his Terp quintet for nard
twenty-five game schedule, plus
the Southern Conference tourney,
which will be held at Raleigh,
N. c., early in March.
spectators will see more action
and less walking around of the
officials. The new ruling is bet
ter for squad, as coaches must
depend on more players than here.

cuts out the regular bench
warmers"
COMMUTE PLAYERS
AS for Maryland this year,
Ship" hopes to be able to uncork
a pair of 30-minute ball players,
and groom the rest for 10-minute
duty. According to present plans,
it is hoped that his 30-minute
players will be Center Charlie
Norton, and Back Guard PerShing
Mondorff, both Sophomores.
This means that his forwards,
George Knepley. Eddie johnson
and Waverly Wheeler, will be sub
Stituted regularly at 10-minute in
tervals. Pinch hitting in regular
forward duty will be Adam Ben
goechea, a sophomore, along with
Coleman Headley, Milton MULTI,
former Tech High luminary, and
Francis Beamer, sophomore center
and former Roosevelt High star.
Another guard in immediate re-
serve who will be heavily counted
upon this year is Bill Rea, while
Bill Bryant and John Mccarthy,
leftover lettermen from last years
court team, are expected to come
out for dribble work as soon as
they recover from minor grid in
juries.
Like Catholic University, and un-
like Georgetown, Maryland intends
to use the new seamless ball. It
was adopted last year by the
Southern Conference to be placed
in use this season.
MEET MICHIGAN
1t is interesting to note whether
the scanned or the seamless ball
will be used in the Maryland
Georgetown game in the Tech
High gym, January IL. However,
since the HoyaS are the home
quint that night, it is highly prob
able that the scanned ball will be
employed.
Only two games are listed be-
fore the holidays. The TerpS open
the season with the University of
Richmond at College Park, Thurs
day, December 16, and the follow
ing evening take on an invading
Michigan five. Play will be re-
sumed after the holiday season
on January 4, when the Terps
battle the strong Baltimore Uni
verSity team at Baltimore.
The schedule shows a dearth of
Southern Conference opponents,
plus state rivals, and single en-
counters with Catholic U. and the
Navy, in addition to Georgetown.
New York U. is also down for a
game at College Park.
