Colonial Quint
Clashes With
M0untdineerS
BY GINO SINH

With semester examinations out
of the way, and the basketball
season in full swing again as far
as the collegians are concerned,
Maryland University and George
Washington will battle tonight in
the first of a series of stiff games
that will continue throughout the
week.
Maryland takes on Virginia
Tech at College Park in a Southern
Conference duel, while George
Washington meets West Virginia,
Of the Eastern Basketball Con-
ference in Cumberland, Md.
The game marks the second ap-
pearance for Virginia Tech here,
when it clashes with the Terps in
the Ritchie Field House, the
Gobblers, having played and lost
to American U. in the Eagles gym
Saturday night, 29-23.
ON AMBRosE'S HEEL
ALI eyes will be centered on the
possible scoring barrage expected
of Charley Norton, lanky Mary
land center, who trailing by IA
points, can take over the high
scoring lead of the District col
legians, now held by Wayne Am
broSe of Catholic University.
Maryland will be out tonight to
|avenge a setback sustained from
the University Of Richmond in the
opening game of the season. It
seems that Virginia Tech defeated
Richmond recently, and there is
mo other way for the Shipley-
coached quintet to satisfy itself
than to trip the invading Gobbler
machine. There is no return game
with Richmond on the schedule
of the Terrapins. The game starts
at 8 o'clock.
G. w. IN CUMBERLAND
Coach Bill Reinhart departed
with his G. w. team for Cumber-
land early today for a meeting
with the West Virginia Noun
taineers, in the newly constructed
Cumberland High School gym.
Originally the battle was booked
for Morgantown, but because of
the heavy demand made by the
alumni of both G. w. and West
Virginia there, it was decided by
officials Of both schools to transfer
the game.
The battle marks the first start
for the Colonials since their set
back by Long Island U. in the
Brooklyn matchbox gym 10 days
ago. G. w. looms winner tonight.

FIRST-PERIOD SCORES
Both scores were registered in
the first period, following an ALL

goal, when Tillie Manton, former
Texas Christian halfback and
teammate of Baugh'S, booted a
perfect 38-yard placement at the
start of the game. to place the
Stars in the Short-lived lead.
The All Stars scored again in
the third frame, when Dutch
Kline, another T. C. U. gridder
and teammate of Baugh and Man

and galloped so yards for the
score.
Washington concluded its Scor-
ing in the final frame when Riley
Smith, who successfully kicked
the points after touchdown in the
first period, kicked a sensational
44-yard field goal from placement.

can't that The large increase In
total area in 1880 and in 1881 was
only partially reflected by increas-
ed use of power at the ice plants.
1t is probable that some of the
expansion was into areas not ad-
apted to such culture, with the
result that yields were not obtained
commensurate with the recorded
increase in planting. Indications
are that about 10000 acres will be
