Maryland's undermanned and
somewhat green basket ball team
begins a tough Southern Confer
ence schedule tomorrow night, with
Richmond U. invading Ritchie Coli
scum as a favorite to spoil the Ter
rapinS' opener. In the other local
game tomorrow, American u, which
opened last night against George
town, faces Western Maryland for
its first test in the wly-formed
Mason and Dixon Conference.
Other Capital collegiate cagers
travel. George Washington opens
against Washington and Lee at Lex
ington, Gallaudet plays Johns Hop
kins in Baltimore and Wilson
Teachers meet Randolph-Macon at
Ashland Gallaudet and Wilson
prepare for their trips with game
tonight at Kendall Green.
A months practice at the College
Park school has cut Maryland's
basket ball squad to 10 players, only
one a senior. -Four are Juniors and
the rest are sophomores. With this
team Coach Burt Shipley must meet
an 11-game conference schedule
with hardly a $3.50 chance of fin
ishing high enough for tourna-
ment berth late in February. The
top eight of the Is conference teams
are selected for the three-day tour
ney.
Richmond More Experienced.
The lone senior, Gene Ochsenrei-
ter: two juniors Art Woodward and
Jim Wharton, and two sophs, Irving
Gordy and Bob Fetters, will COM
prise Shipley's starting quint tomor-
row night. The Spiders will have
three seniors, a junior and a sopho-
more in their lineup and this
greater experience likely will give
them the edge. They also have the
advantage of having played one
game already, nosing out Hampden-
Sidney, 31-29, on Wednesday night.
Neither team has experienced re-
serves and this further serves to
enhance Richmonds margin.
The Western Maryland team fac
ing American University tomorrow
night is a vastly improved outfit
over last years. This was DEM
onstrated to fans here only last
Tuesday, when the Green Terrors
made quite a battle of it against
Georgetown in the first half, only
to fade before the Hoyas' stamina
In the last two periods.
Their main gun, Center Bob
Faw, effectively was stopped by
the excellent defensive work of tall
Bill Bornheimer, but that doesn't
figure to happen often, and the
Eagles will be hard put to stop him
under the basket and on the pivot.
Suffern Is Star Shot.
Another Terror who promises to
be difficult for A. U. is Frank Suf-
fern Whereas most cagers try to
get under the basket for those
sometimes-easy layup shots, Frank
is content to stand away back and
swish them through. Against
Georgetown he counted six field
goals, and every one was from far
out.
Catholic US Cardinals will be the
last of the local collegians to get
going. opening Sunday against the
alumni. The habitual alumni opener
usually is breeze for the varsity,
1t having won for the last two years,
but Fod Cotton's cagers will be up
against something better than usual
this year The alumni will have
enough players for three teams,
and any combination they use fig
ures to be difficult.
Included in the Is grads ready
for Sundays game are of last
years courtmen. Carmen Pirro.
