Two local college basket ball teams
will begin and end respective road
trips on foreign floors tonight.
Georgetown at West Point and
Maryland at Charlottesville.
The Army game will be the first
of three in row in New York State
for the Hoyas, who play Syracuse
tomorrow and Colgate on Friday.
while the tilt with Virginia will be
the last of a rather inglorious
Southern trip for the Terps.
Duke got revenge on Maryland
last night at Durham to hand the
Old Liners their third defeat in a
row, 48-37. Previously beaten by
a two-point margin at College Park,
the Blue Devils unveiled two soph-
omores who scored q points be-
tween them to even the 40 series.
Maryland never was in the game
after relinquishing a rs lead in the
first 10 minutes of play. At that
point the Blue Devils scored IS
points in succession for 20-7 ad-
vantage, and at half time the hosts
were in command by 23-10.
Although the Terps outscored
Duke, 27-25, in the second half they
couldn't do more than hold their
own and the Carolinians' advantage
never dropped below II points.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-The Yale
Princeton struggle for the Eastern
intercollegiate League lead and the
metropolitan championship" dou-
ble-header at Madison Square Gar
den aren't just the high lights Of
tonights Eastern basket ball pro-
gram-they're practically the whole
thing.
Princeton broke into league com.
petition last Saturday with q de.
cisive victory over Cornell. Yale,
with two victories and one defeat,
shares second place with Dartmouth,
defending champion. That's enough
to make it major contest any day,
and Yale-Princeton game in any
sport is tops as far as those two col.
leges are concerned.
The Tigers have the advantage Of
playing on their home court, where
they have lost only one of four
games this season. They have ono
outstanding sharpshooter, Johnny
MeyerholZ, and fair supporting
cast. They have been beaten four
times in 10 starts, but the only East
ern team to do the trick was Army
in Princeton's first game after two
week layoff.
Yale's only loss in eight games was
a 36-33 decision to Cornell Which
has performed erratically this sea-
son and doesn't serve very we'll as
| yardstick. The Ellis tuned up for
tonight's contest by whipping the
touring Tulsa team, 1888, last Sat-
urday, gaining their biggest advan.
tage through their strong zone de-
fense. Al Ingley did most of the
shooting.
Princeton has a second league
game on schedule this week, playing
Dartmouth at Hanover Saturday.
The Garden double-header
matches the unbeaten New
York University team against st.
Francis and Manhattan against st.
Johns. N. Y. U. generally is rated
the best team in the city, with only
Long Island University disputing
the Violets' claim. L. I. U. doesn't
play in the championship" series.
N. Y. U. has won nine games so far.
st. Francis has beaten seven of nine
college rivals. The Violets may be
in for trouble tonight, for they have
lost three members of their squad.
Irv Resnick has left college; Art
Schillig has been declared ineligible.
and Frank Turner has a bad knee.
Of the records, st. Johns figures to
have a big edge over Manhattan in
the other contests.
Other major games tonight pit
much-beaten Georgetown against
Army, and once-beaten Duquesne
against little st. Vincent in the
Dukes first game in two weeks.

100000 Given
Out by Circuit
In Two Years
Athletes Are Helped
On Same PIune as
Other Students
BY TOM SlLER.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3l.-Commis-
sioner John L. Grifith apparently
is little weary of all this loose
talk about paid athletes inside and
outside of the Western Conference.
He did his bit yesterday toward
clearing up the situation in his own
circuit by giving out figures which
showed conference athletes collected
$500, 900 the last two school years in
scholarships and payment for odd
jobs,
In giving out these Illuminating
figures Griffith said he recognized
there probably was nothing in in
tercollegiate athletics so much dis
cussed or with more misconceptions
than the nature and propriety of
financial assistance to athletes" He
pointed out the basic principle of the
Big Ten in regard to aiding athletes
is that the athlete is entitled to
every consideration which might
be accorded non-athlete by the
university, but no more"
Chicago Leads in Aid.
In 1878 Big Ten schools award
ed athletes scholarships worth S45,-
678.50, loaned them S34,515.75 and
paid them s92,66366 for campus
jobs but only for services rendered
and at rate of pay corresponding
to jobs for athletes"
In 1889 the athletes received
$46,440.34 in scholarships, $33, ,541 26
in loans and Sl14.512.69 for employ
ment. Exclusive of the loans, which
must be paid back. the athletes drew
down $299, ,305l9 for the two years.
Chicago which no longer has a
football team but supports larger
than-average minor sports program,
led in the amount of aid both years
-s41 ,393.40 two years ago and $34,-
550.50 last year. Northwestern was
second in this respect.
Grid Leaders Close With Coin.
The figures disclosed that the two
schools which either have won or
been serious contenders for the foot
ball championship in recent years
Ohio State and Minnesota-were at
the bottom of the list in aiding
players. Minnesota's assistance to
athletes for both years amounted
to only s12,85768. Ohio States q
year total was $13,425.38.
Publication of these figures re-
calls President Robert M. Hutchins'
recent speech before his Chicago
student body in which he said foot
ball was not worthwhile unless the
team was winner, that you couldn't t
have a winner without subsidization
and that under Big Ten rules there
could be no such thing as "legiti-
mate" subsidization.
A University of Chicago spokes-
man explained last night that 30
per cent of the student body has
scholarships and that if any of
these 60 out for a major or minor
sports team they are classed as an
athlete"

one of the top five trainers of boxers

Ordinarily, the training of one

his customary conditioning duties
the trainer must be nursemaid
mother, brother and confessor to his
charge, in addition to any odd jobs
he might think up to do in his spare

But for Whitley, handling one

So it was just like a week end at
the seashore for Whitley when AM

days to take on Wally Hally in

with only the two big belters.
Bimstein has them both in excel

They rushed to the camp to find out

whats all the fuss?" Whitley
greeted them. "He had a cold and
a slight sore throat, so I gave him
some fish oil and put him to bed
for a day. He's not a bad looking
sick man now is he?"
While he was speaking, Godoy
mad climbed into the ring for a
sparring session with Jimmy Smith.
If he gets any sicker before he
meets Louis, Joe is going to catch
something-and it won't be Arturo's
cold. Godoy is a crouching, bob
bing type of fighter, who would
figure to give the Bomber trouble
because he would have to punch
downward to fight him.
The effects of Bimstein's work are
more noticeable on Apostoi, the
San Francisco bellhop who won the
middleweight championship and
then lost it. A moody, quiet fellow,
Apostoi has been shaken up under
Wh1tey's friendliness and now has
more of the confidence he lacked.
He realizes that in Fridays IS

not only is fighting for a shot at
Billy Conn's crown, but for his very
