1erp Freshman Quint
Beats Forest Park
For 4th in Row

Marylands tall and husky fresh
man basket ball team won its fourth
straight game yesterday when it
proved entirely too good for Forest
Park High of Baltimore, So to 10, at
College Park.
Carlton Steiner, a Forest Park
product, led the attack on his old
school by chalking up IA points,
although he played only half of the
game.
Each team used 10 players, all of
the Terps scoring, while only four
of the Forest Parkers were able to
count. Elliott got almost half of
their points, making nine:
Maryland used its two flves as
units, with James, SchuerholZ,
Steiner, Travis and Daniels being
the starters.
The young Terps led, SO to l3, at
intermisSiOn.

Gonzaga in Tense! Tilt
Noses Out Eastern;
ST. Johns Bows
Eagles Late Rush Tells,
30-28; Wilson Drubs
Cadets Easily. 32-21
By GEORGE HUBER.

With both teams displaying the
best brand of scholastic basket ball
witnessed so far in Washington this
season, Gonzaga showed Eastern off
the undefeated list last night by
staging great third-period rally
to step in front and stay there, VIM
ming, 1923. 1t was the first defeat
in six starts for Eastern and Con-
zaga'S sixth win in seven games.
In the opening half of the double
header at Tech gym, Woodrow Will
son had little trouble downing St.
Johns, 1921.
From technical standpoint, the
Gonzaga- Eastern clash left nothing
to be desired. Both teams presented
fast, smooth attacks opposite good
defenses: The RamblerS took an
early lead of 9-6 in the first period
and were ahead, 20-ll, at the half.
Gonzaga went all out in the third
period and held Eastern to two field
goals while showing in 16 points to
take a lead it never surrendered de-
spite Eastern's desperate last-period
assault.
COunselman Eagles Star.
Hero of the Eagles second-half
drive was Frannie Counselman. His
snowbird in the third period kept
Gonzaga in the running when East
ern had a 20-16 lead and after Bud
RoWzee sank a charity toss to pull
within a point Counselman flicked
in another field goal to put Gonzaga
into its lead RoWZee came through
with two more goals from the floor
and Counselman counted again just
before the period ended with Con-
zaga leading, 27-20.
Larry Capone's two field goals were
the only Eastern shots through the
exceptionally tight Gonzaga defense
in this period.
Eastern was far from out of the
game, however, and came back with
a tight defense of its own that linn
tied to Eagles a free toss by Coun-
selman and another field goal by
RoWzee the rest of the game. Mean
while, Moe Schulman, Mike Lieb,
Neal Craig and George Pigott were
counting for the Ramblers, but Con-
zagas edge wos too much to over
come
