Press Club of Boston made it's First

weather Significant of the unanimity
and impartiality of the selections was
the simple fact that no member of the
Press Club is enrolled at either church.

harrington that the Colonials will
meet Washington and Lee in 1910
and 1941 and, at the same time,
resume relations with the Generals
in all sports.
The Colonials will journey to
Lexington, Va, for the first game on
October IL, 1910, while Washington
and Lee will invade Griffith Stadium
on October II, 1941. The resumption
of football rivalry marks the first
meeting on the gridiron between the
schools since 1882, when G. w. won,
1870, at Lexington.
Included on George Washington's
1910 schedule are Kansas, West
Virginia, BucAlell, Clemson and
Georgetown, while the 1889 slate
calls for the Colonials to meet
Davis-E -Elkins, Butler, The Citadel,
Clemson, Kansas, Bucknel, George
town and West Virginia.
The Washington and Lee game is
in line with George Washington's
new policy Of competing more
against nearby teams rather than its
former manner of playing inter-
sectional outfits almost exclusively.

the wake of its most impressive per-

basket ball team shifted over here
today to face North Carolina to-
night after dealing Duke a 60-44
trouncing last night at Durham.
Eager to continue their success

sector, the Terps have fond hopes
of picking up where they left off

Devils the worst defeat they ever
have absorbed on their home court.
Tomorrow night Maryland will

Maryland's Adam Bengoechea,

rampage to bury Duke after a close
first half found the Terps holding
only a 1922 lead. After Duke
pulled to within points of Mary
land at the start of the second half
the Terps spurted and turned the
game into a rout.
De Witt, Bengoechea and john
son, scoring 18, 16 and IA points,
respectively, led a Maryland attack
in that final half which yielded
points on 16 of Is attempted shots,
an attack which Coach Eddie Cam
eron of Duke branded the hottest"
he ever had seen.
Maryland trailed through most of
the first half, but snatched 20-17
lead with 312 minutes remaining.
