Maryland, which has captured
only two of six games, has been for

won two of three conference tilts,
while the Blue Devils have taken
three out of five.

willing to concede Roanoke College

here this season and perhaps in sew
eral seasons, despite the fact that in
Walloping George Washington, 47-33,
last night at Tech High gym it
wasn't accomplishing so much of a
feat.
The Colonials, way off their usual
form, never were in the game as the
clever Roanoke outfit spurted into a
2l-l2 halftime lead and increased
that margin to deal G. w. its worst
defeat in four years under Coach
Bill Reinhart.
In administering G. w. its third
local loss in four years, Roanoke,
