BASILE, LEWIS
COP PIN TITLES
BY GINO SINH

He only boasts a 104 average,
but he is a duckpin king today
and the envy of 148 other mascu-
line bowlers of his caliber and
quite a few better ones.
That's Joseph A. Basile, of the
G. P. o. circuit, winner of the
mems division in the third an
nual Margaret Leaman Lynn han
dicap sweepstakes at the Arcadia
Alleys yesterday. 1t was a sweep
stakes for fifth-raterS, but Joe's
score was worthy of the top-flight
duckpin masters. He had a 664
set from scratch, an average one
pin shy of 1873, which plus his
six-pin spot" gave him a 670 set.
What added luStre to BaSile'S
triumph is the fact that he top
ped famed Howard Campbell, for
mer No. D. C. bowler. Campbell,
who bowls only now and then,
with the American Legion, is
sporting 102 average. He was the
first man to average 100 in the
city. Aided by a 12-pin handicap
Campbell totaled 663 for second
money.
A 36-pin "spot" didn't hurt Cath
crime Lewis victory in the wom
ems division. She crossed 568 set
four pins better than Alberta Pol
lard, of the Federal League, who
enjoyed only a 20-pin boost. Cath
crime Lewis bowls in the Mt
Rainier loop. Eighty-four women
bowled.

Maryland is a heavy favorite to
snag the tilt and run its winning
streak to eight straight games.
Georgetown is not so sure of bag
ging the Carnegie Tech Tartans,
despite its one-sided victory over
Pitt last Saturday.
Several players who have been
performing noble work on the
hardwoods for their respective
teams will play their last before
home fans.
The Terrapins will present for
the last time Waverley Wheeler,
Coleman Headley and Johnny Nc.
Carthy, all of recognized ability,
who have served their future alma
mater faithfully for three gruelling
campaigns.
Georgetown will offer for the
last time Capt. Mike PetroSkey,
Harry BaSsin and Tommy Nolan,
all regulars for three years stand
ing, and John Frank, Mario
Gregorio and John Riches, able
substitutes.
COMPETE IN TOURNEY
Maryland will compete in the
Southern Conference tournament
at Raleigh, N. c., March 3, 4 and
S, while the HilltopperS will con-
clude the remainder of their slate
on the road with Temple, Yale
and st. Boneventures, of Buffalo,
N. ", the balance of the week, in
cluding Monday.
The game tonight between
Georgetown and Carnegie Tech
will have little effect on the stand
ings in the conference. Both
teams are definitely out Of the
running, as Temple won the cham
pionship of the loop last Friday
night when it drubbed the Pitt
Panthers.
Georgetown is roosting in third
place in the circuit with four vic
tories out of eight starts. The
Plaid is lodged in fifth position
with two wins in five games.
Carnegie Tech defeated George
town in Pittsburgh several weeks
back, 54-31, so if Georgetown is
able to take tonight's conflict,
there will be some cause for glee
among the HoyaS, as it has been
many seasons since they last de-
feated the Hannum-coached quint.
MANY OBSTACLES
Carnegie was selected as the
dark horse" of the conference
race this year, but a flock Of in
eligibilities and an unsurmount-
able number of inquiries cut down
the potency of the club, which
started off the season by bagging
10 Of its first II games played.
Max Hannum, coach of the
team, Is a former Pittsburgh news
paper man. who picked up spare
change by refereeing court games,
but decided that coaching a col
lege quintet was preferred to blow:
ing whistles and pounding an Un-
derwood. He Is also publicity di-
rector of athletics at Carnegie.
AS for Maryland tonight, it IS
the surprise of local college cage
circles. Selected as having per
haps the least possibilities at the
start of the season, the team
budded into a brilliant combina-
ton that earned itself a fine rec
ord for the season and a chance at
one of the eight spots in the con-
ference tourney next week.
Chief factor in the current win
ming streak is the sensational
shooting of Waverley Wheeler and
Eddie Johnson, and the all-around
play of Capt. George Knepley.
This trio came through for the
Terps just when the bottom fell
out of the team, that calamity
being the declaration by the fac
ulty that Charley Norton could
play no more basketball for the
team this year, due to scholastic
deficiencies. Up to this time Char
lev had been the one-man Mary
land basketball team.
