Downed Again, Cards
First Victory Still
Seems Far Off
Bow to Green Terrors;
Tackle Strong LoyoIo
Quintet Tomorrow

Diogenes' well-publicized search
for an honest man was cinch COM
pared with Catholic University's
hunt for its first basket ball victory
of the season. The Cards took it
on the chin again last night, bow
ing to Western Maryland by a 1926
margin.
Nor does the morrow hold out
much promise to Coach 'Fod" Cot
tons haraSsed charges. 1t brings a
game with Loyola at Baltimore, and
the Greyhounds, if you recall, are
the only ones to put it on George
town this season.
Catholic displayed it's usual cour-
age and fighting spirit last night,
ringing up five field goals in rapid
succession against group of Terror
subs in the last few minutes Of play.
Salvaging the game, however, was
beyond its fondest hope. 1t was
the second straight setback in Ma
son-Dixon competition for the
Brooklanders.
Robinson and Baisi paced West
ern Maryland's attack, while DAILY
and Mulvihill again topped the
Brooklanders.
In preliminary game Catholic S
freshmen routed Richard Montgom-
cry High, 27-16.

Rook Tops ST. John S
In Win Over Blair
Basketers, 3O-22

Cres Bride, Montgomery Blair
basket ball coach, still is searching
for the right combination to give
his team the winning punch it ex-
pected to have this season.
A shifted lineup that included
Nick Carter, Charles Ridgeway,
Wimp Reynolds, Ed Fincham and
Ford Kelley was started yesterday
against st. Johns, but it failed to
click and the Johnnies came out with
their third victory this year, 1922.
Leo Healy, newly promoted from
the lightweight squad, led the
Johnny team with points, same as
scored by Buddy Speiss. Healy'S
aggressive play throughout was the
telling factor as St. Johns took
90 edge in the first quarter that
never was overcome despite a last
period rally that momentarily pulled
Blair within points.
1t was Blair's sixth loss in eight
games.

G. VS. Basket Streak
Against Dixie Foes
Is Ended by Duke
Blue Devils Get Even
For Earlier Defect
In 44-to-37 Game
Special Dispatch to The Star.

DURHAM, N. c., Jan. lit isn't
all milk and honey in the land of
cotton. George Washington's drib-
blers realized it today after sue
cumbing to Duke, 4437, here last
night.
The defeat snapped a 4-game win
ming streak for the ColonialS and
enabled the Blue Devils to gain an
even break for the season with their
Washington rivals.
George Washington, never ahead
after the first half, which ended
with Duke in command by a 24-18
margin, plainly showed the effects
of its strenuous road trip. Three
times in the final period the visitors
were within two points of their
hosts but couldn't knot the count.
Chuck Holley, lanky center, and
Bill Mock, high scorers of the game
with IS and 13 points, respectively,
showed Duke ahead with spectacular
shots before G. w. could get the
tying basket.
Duke successfully "froze" the ball
in the last two minutes of play
and George Washington, unlike the
previous night when it snatched
victory from Furman in the last
few seconds of play, was unable to
intercept.
Bobby Gilham, Matt Zunic and
Joe Conner were high for the
ColonialS.
The defeat, incidentally, was the
first setback for G.. w. in nine
games with teams of the Southern
Conference of which it officially
becomes a member next autumn.

All Leland can think of to do,

At this rate he will kill every
Dodger on the pay roll before the

as well as patriotic, to draft MI
Topping and give Mr.. MacPhal the

One of Mr.. MacPhails grouches
at this time of year is the way the
football people grab all the head
lines. For instance: "Ohio State
Hires Paul Brown" and "McLaughry
Goes to Dartmouth
"Here it is, a dull Wednesday in
january" groans Leland Stanford
MacPhail, "and I can't raise a story,
If 7 could only hire me a new man

Give him the football team from

LELAND Stanford would be in his
glory. I don't mean that he would
have to fire Jock Sutherland on a
dull day. But he could comment
as fast as other coaches were hired
