NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-By elm
mating Wimbledon and the Davis
Cup competition, the European War
has cut in sharply on the tennis
worlds which Bobby Riggs can hope
to conquer In 1910. Yet the cocky
Chicago bantanweight has mapped
out an ambitious program.
Competing now for the national
indoor title, he can become by win
ming the first player since Rene
Lacoste to hold the indoor and out
door championships at the same
time. n
From there, Riggs hopes to go on
to add the clay courts and repeat
in the nationals at Forest Hills.
"Along the way" Bobby added,

sides that ! missed"

He's playing on the boards now,
despite the fact he doesn't like them,
because he wants to prove once and
for all that he is fully entitled to
his No. / ranking.
I've proved that outdoors" he
explained, both on grass and clay"
Then he offered figures to back his
claim. On grass he has won the
Eastern, Southampton and Tri-State
Journeys three times, has two, legs
on the Seabright bowl and has won
once each at Longwood and New
port-not to mention his 1899 tri-

Defeat V. IA. l., II to Is,
Despite Their Worst
Come Of Campaign
JACK FABER.

Maryland's basket ball team today
was assured place in the Southern
Conference tourney next week at
Raleigh, N. c., but the Terps, of
their showing last night in founder
ing to 27-25 victory over v. M. I.
at College Park, would not go far.
Maryland, though, Is cleaning a
measure of satisfaction in realizing
its worst display Of the season is
out of its system. The Terps are
confident Of swapping back after
checking the bid of a v. M. I. outfit
which previously had been whipped
by the Terps by a margin of some
q points.
Arms Are Too Strong.
Those lengthy Maryland passes,
in which Terp snatches ball off
the blackboard, whirls and heaves
it down floor, last night were sailing
among the customers. The Old
Liners couldn't do anything cor
rectly consistently, still they won.
They won chiefly because v. M. I.
was an inferior team. The Keydets
failed to fathom the zone defense,
but still remained a threat through
out.
Tied four times in the first half,
the game remained close in the Sec
ond. although Maryland grasped a
6-point lead at 25-19 after v. M. I.
had rallied to knot the count. Set
shots by Foster and Ed Stumpf
yanked the Keydets to 1927, but
Mearle Duvall made what proved
the winning points shortly before
Shomo got v. M. is final score.
De Witt Becomes Cautious.
George De Witt, who led Mary

. Basket Series Final

One of the toughest scraps of the
current interhigh basket ball series
should develop at Tech gym tonight
when Western and Woodrow Wilson
clash for the final playoff berth with
the loser scheduled to meet Eastern
for the other position Tuesday aft
ernoon at the same gym. Tonight's
game is set for o'clock.
Tied for third place after the reg
ular schedule was completed last
Tuesday, Western, Wilson and East
ern have undergone strenuous prac-
tice sessions since. Eastern seems
to have definite edge over which,
ever team it will meet next week as
the defending champions already
have scored decisive triumphs over
both.
There is little to choose between
Western and Wilson. Both have
played good and bad games this
winter. Wilson managed to gain
a 3-point victory over the Red Raid
ers a month ago after Western had
come strongly in the last half. Since
then Western has improved slightly
while the Presidents have slipped
somewhat. After losing to Eastern,
Western came back to trounce Ana
costa and Wilson has dropped games
to Roosevelt, Central and Eastern.
With a game against hot East
ern i've facing the loser, both Cliff
Moore. Western coach. and Tony
Kupka, Wilson mentor, are expected
to start their best players. Irv
Schenker, Johnny Lumpkin, Hal
Mitchell, Jake Hilleary and Jimmy

All Long Associated

College Park
Facing Task as Spring
Drills Start, as Many
Cops Must Be Filled

Football affairs at the University
of Maryland will be intrusted to an
alumni coaching stan next season,
it was made known today as Geary
Eppley, director Of athletics, an
nounced the appointment Of Jack
Faber, AL Heagy and AL Wood as
joint coaches. The three were to
take command this afternoon as
spring practice got under way.
The arrangement undoubtedly will
be continued through the regular
season. although Eppley neglected to
say which will have the final word
in regard to substitutions and poll
cies. Perhaps they will decide their
problems collectively, but Faber
filled in during the interim between
the time President Byrd Withdrew
from the game and Frank Dobson's s
appointment several yeass ago.
All Members Of Faculty.
All have been identified closely
with athletics at Maryland since
their graduation and all are men,
bers Of the faculty. Faber, who was
graduated in 1925 and received his
doctorate in philosophy in 1887, is
an assistant professor in bacteriol-
ogy. Heagy is connected with the
chemistry department and Wood is
an Instructor in agronomy.
All were members Of the coaching
staff under Dobson, who resigned at
the close Of last season. Faber was
varsity assistant, while Wood and
Heagy handled the freshmen. Wood
was mentioned prominently as Dob
sons successor in the speculation
concerning the new head mentor.
/ Faber also is head coach of la
crosse and assistant to Burt Shipley
in basket ball. Heagy coaches fresh
man basket ball and assists Faber
in lacrosse.
During Faber's brief regime as
head coach he compiled record of
II victories against II defeats and
two ties.
Start With Tough Task.
The staff has its task cut out for
it with a couple Of big holes to be
plugged In the line and patchwork
needed in a backfield riddled by
graduation. Ralph Albarano and
Bob Brown, tackles. and George
Lawrence, guards, are the most i'm
portant linemen lost. Johnny Boyda,
Pershing Mondorf and Frank Skot-
nicki are backs not returning.
Lettermen untouched by gradu-
alton are Dick Shaffer, Frank
Dwyer and Leo Mueller, ends; Bill
Krause and Ralph Burlin, tackles;
George Gienger and John Morton,
guards; Bob Smith and Jim Whar-
ton, centers; Joe Murphy, Fred
Widener. Mearle DuVall, Bernie Ul-
man, Milton Lumsden and Jack
War1eld, backs.
This group will be augmented by
half dozen additional varsity hold :
overs and twice as many freshmen
prospects.
The season opens with Hampden-
Sydney September % at College
Park. Then, on consecutive Satur-
days, the Terps play Penn at Phila-
delphia; Virginia, Florida at Gains
vile; Western Maryland at Balti-
more; Georgetown, Virginia Military

At least he hasn't. With 100 pounds

this-he has been on edge for the

too keen. Form" as some philoso-

HeeIfly Dangerous

MY selection at this point for the
100000 whirligig is Heelf1y, the
horse Al Vanderbilt finally sold just
before the starting gate came along.
The starting gate turned Heelfiy
into a new and far greater horse.
He no longer performs any wild
series OF starting upheavals. He is
of and away with the packard
he can move in hurry.
Heelfly has been brilliant starter
out here. He has been the best
horse I've seen at Santa Anita. It
may be that Kayak or Seabiscuit will
regain lost form-just as Specify did.
But you know now what Heelfy can
do.
1t would be tough break for
young Al Vanderbilt to blow this big
shot after so many attempts, notably
with Discovery and then with Heel
ny. But that's racing luck.
They also are looking in the gen.
eral direction of Don Mike, a great
mudder, and Can't Wait, the horse
that can run all day. Can't Wait
was moving like runaway express
In his start along the 7-furlong
route. He might have been dyna-
