Game at College Park
First Between Rivals
Since 1910 Season
BY CHICK KENNY

Minus the services of its great
est scoring threat, Charley Nor.
ton, the University Of Maryland
basketball team will take to the
hardwoods tonight as the under
dog in its battle with New York
University. The game, one Of the
highlights of the local collegiate
season, is scheduled to get under
way at 8:15 o'clock at College
Park. The invading Violets are
quoted favorites at S to 2.
Norton, the Old Liners best
basketball player since the days of
All-America Bozie Berger, was de-
clared ineligible at faculty meet
ing early yesterday, and conse-
quently missed the all-important
game with the Naval Academy
five yesterday afternoon. His loss
came as a big blow to Maryland
and will doubtless mean the diff
ference between a winning and a

LEADS THE PACK
The big sophomore center who
halls from Utah was rightfully
termed the basketball find" of
the season in local circles. He Is
leading the pack in the District
scoring race, having flipped the
ball through the hoops for 134
points.
New York University's Violets
are on three-game transforming
tour which will terminate in
Chapel Hill, N. c., when the Tar
heels of North Carolina are en-
countered Saturday. Tomorrow
the Gothamites stop off to play
Richmond University in the Vir-

Tonight's game will mark the
second time Maryland and New
York University have met on the
court. Before the boys who will
make up tonight's lineup were
born the teams clashed, with the
New Yorkers winning, 29-7. That
was in 1910. Since then, though,
both schools have come a long
way, as has the game they will
play.
STRONG CONTENDER
Coached by Howard G. Cam,
an alumnus of the university, the
VioletS are, year in and year out,
one of the country's leading cage
teams. During his coaching regime
N. Y. U. teams have brought home
the bacon 164 times, while losing
only SO times.
With only. Minnesota having
been able to emerge the victor in
contests with N. Y. U. this season,
one Of the greatest basketball cam

Stays at Princeton

You listened to the resonant
voice Of Fritz Crisler and knew
that this was a man in whose
hands the destinies of your boy
might be placed. He wants to
win on the field. The coach who
doesn't want to win is not worth
his salt. But Crisler is a man
who builds. He is of the same
fiber as Frank Dobson, unless I
miss my guess.
You would hand your boy to
Dobson and say with conf.
dence:
Here, Frank. make a man
Of this lad"
L has not been announced Of
ficially from Princeton, and it
may not be announced, but
Fritz Crisler will re m in at
Jungletown.
The slump in Princeton's foot
ball fortunes have not affected
the status of Crisler one iota.
Nor should they! For he is the
same man who turned out those
great Princeton football teams
In three previous years.
Secretary Of State Cordell
Hull will set aside his official
duties for an hour or more to-
day. and will preside over the
Davis Cup draw in the Pan
American Union Building in this
city. President Warren G. Hard
ing established the custom a
dozen years ago, and Hon. Frank
B. Kellogg, Secretary OF State
presided.
No fewer than IS nations have
entered the Davis Cup tourney
this year, and each will be rep
resented by a member Of its dip
lomatio corps. Great Britain
was the first challenging nation.
Japan'S belated challenge was
! received by cable.

"Greece followed Sparta. and
in turn was succeeded by
Rome, which spread its eagle
wings across the world.
"It was written" Crisler said,
when the Colosseum falls, Rome
shall fall Well, the Colosseum
fell and the Roman Empire fell
with 1t.
TOO often we hear demands
for the abolition of football.
It Is charged that some do not
observe the rules. Some busi-
ness men evade the rules, but
there is no demand to abolish
business. The same is true of
the professions.
II am not uneasy over the sit
uation, nor over the demands
Of reform elements, I shall be-
come uneasy when we no longer
attract crowds to our football
games"
Crisler amazed the audience
by stating the War Depart

fact that 33 1-3 per cent Of all
men examined at the outbreak
of the World War were rejected
by physicians as unfit for mill
tary. Another is per cent. he
stated. required special training
to make them fit. America, he
said, cherished a national con-
ceit as to its physical fitness.
Before the dinner Crisler told
the story Of the Princeton grad
who rushed into the dressing
room between halves to tell him
how to beat Harvard.
You've gotta tackle Struck"
said the grad.
"You know, we did tackle
Struck, but it was our safety
man who tackled him most OF
the time" Crisler said with a
grimaee.

Social Security Board
Pays 1,O21 Claims In
Maryland During 1887

Payment of 1,021 lump-sum claims
was made in Maryland during the first
years operation of the Federal Gov
ernment's old-age insurance system,
to wage earners who had reached age
65 and the estates or relatives of those
who had died, Luther Becker, Manager
of the Baltimore Field Office announc-
ed today. These payments, represent
ing 31s percent of the total wages
paid to the worker amounted to $25,-
642.19 or an average of $25.11 for
Maryland.
Payment of 1921 claims, amount
ing to $1;277,516.22s, was made
throughout the country, or an average
payment of $24. Since the earlier
months of the year, when the claims
were for very small amounts, the av-
erage rose steadily until the average
payment throughout the country dur
ing the month of December was $27.15.
The end-of-the-year analysis of re-
cords shows that the claims paid
ranged from 1888, the amount paid
to the estate of man who had been
receiving incomes from more than one
job, to 10 cents. ''The Bureau of Old
Age Insurance has exercised the same
care, however, in the adjudication Of
small claims that it has in the case
of claims for larger amounts" said
Mr.. Becker.
He added that the claim for 10
cents was divided between the parents
Of a girl who had worked only one
day in 1887 = New Years Day -
when she became i'll and died. Her
father, inquiring at field Office as to
claim, was told that while of course
it would be very small, the Govern
nlent would nevertheless see to it
that it was paid. The father requested
payment.

Robin Hood

How much there is of actual fact
in the tales of the medieval hero,
Robin Hood, is unknown. Unsuc-
cessful attempts have been made to
prove the real existence of Robin
Hood. His career, as eventually de.
veloped, has all the details of au-
thentic history. But there is nothing
to be found concerning him beyond
the content Of the old ballads, of
which there are some 40. The oldest
known to exist is assigned to about
the year 1400. There were earlier
ones, however, because the Four
teenth century "Piers Plowman" re-
ters to "rymes of Robyn Hood"
The time in which Robin Hood is
supposed to have had his being was
during the reign of Richard / (1189-
S9). Some have attempted to show
that the gallant outlaw of Sherwood
Forest was simply an elf of Ger
manic folk tales, about whom later
gathered typical adventures Of the
outlaw.

Wampus or illegal tender"
among the Indians was beadwork.
It was Of two kinds, white and black.
The white was made from conch or

which was really more purple in col

CLAIMS. The chief center for their
manufacture" was Long Island,
notes a writer in the Philadelphia
Inquirer. The shells were broken
into pieces, rubbed on stones until
smooth and perhaps little thicker
than the United States silver dollar.
The accepted length was three-six-
teenths Of an inch. Often they were
pierced with a drill of some sort.
They were strung on strips Of deer
leather, sometimes made into belts.
One large war belt is said to have
consisted Of $4,000 beads Of wam-
PUN.
For a time in the early days of this
country gunpowder was considered
legal tender. Gunpowder values
were reckoned by the handful and
the Indians with the biggest hands
were employed to do the bargaining.
Later on, beaver skins were used as
well as tobacco, lumber and wheat.

The setting aside of more reserves
in the past year than in its three
previous years of operation was re-
ported to stockholders Of the Freder-

State Armory at Frederick last week
The report was made by Walter D.

An increase in membership from

showed 403 loans to farmers, totalling
$265, 900, have been made.
