WHEELER STANDOUT
Wheeler, who learned his basket
ball at Tech High. proved to be
the standout performer not only
among his teammates in the game
last night, but throughout the
hard battle as well. He astounded
the Terrapin followers by his ex-
pert shooting, Snagging several
spectacular shots, and he thwarted
the visitors sharpshooters, Tar
low and Lewis, throughout.
Another lad who scintillated for
the Terps despite a losing cause
was reliable Capt. George Knepley,
who, when the final result was
added up, carried off the high
point scoring of the session with
13 points.
MD. SCORES FIRST
Maryland's opening bid for a
score, was successful for only a
temporary moment, as Knepley
registered on an easy shot. New
York came right back to match
the points, vaulted ahead. and
was never headed from that time
on. New York led at half-time,

The triumph of the mighty

After defeating Heinrich Hen

"Well, yes it was. Did someone

at the end of the house opposite
to that of Mary Thurston's room,
and on the farther side of a yard.
Across this the little man stepped
resolutely, and did not hesitate
till he came to the space in front
of the garage door. Here we
found Fellowes, his legs in rubber

to the Thurstons' Austin car. He

Rather unwillingly the chauffeur

| But Picon took little notice Of
his reply. The chauffeur's sleeves
were rolled almost to the Shout

cular arms. And on one forearm
were tattooed several devices.
These had attracted Picon's bird
like attention. Presently he
walked up to Fellowes and seized
his wrist with both his little
hands.

examine the tattoo-marks.
