Task for 6. ". Quint
Seen in Game With
West Virginia
Mesmer, Ex-Hoyu Coach.
Recalls JoIts Handed
Him by Mountoineers

Fred MeSmer. the busting bar
rister who used to coach George
towns courtmen. today came out
from behind a stack of legal work
long enough to say he thinks George
Washington will have its hands full
tomorrow evening when it en-
counters West Virginia at Riverside
Stadium.
The ColonialS travelled to An
napolis today for game with Navy
which was not calculated to be
Warmup for West Virginia. Navy
has come along fast after a slow
start, defeating North Carolina. Vir-
ginia. MARYLAND and Duke in its last
four games.
Il remember those babies we'll"
said Freddy And I wouldn't be at
all surprised if they didn't hang it
on G. W. We all know Bill Reinhart
has a good team. but that doesn't
mean anything to those Noun
taineers. The better an opponent is
the hotter they get. We had some
bangup games with them when 1
was at Georgetown, and they gave
me some of the most unhappy mo-
ments I ever spent as a coach
West Virginia. Mesmer explained,
employs the same battling sliding
zone defense used by Penn State,
but, begging States pardon. plays a
snapper. more exciting offensive
game. It's not easy to break through
the zone and the MorgantoWn boys
pick up their opponents well out be-
yond the foul line thereby preclud-
ing the possibility of busting up its
defense with a barrage of accurate
long shots.
Penn State sometimes slows down
the game by its defensive play" he
pointed out. Its hard to get
through and when State gets the
ball it brings it downcourt very
slowly, using set plays. But not
West Virginia. A zone defense really
is an offensive maneuver and they
make the most of it. When they
. get the ball the three men nearest
midcourt break pell NELL for the
opponents basket and if said op-
ponent doesn't have enough men
to guard them it's basket for West
Virginia.
Briefly, it amounts to this: You've
got to have one eye on your basket
at all times and still try to get in
to West Virginia's."
West Virginia comes here with a
record of eight victories in u games
It reversed the scores on two of its
conquerers and with consecutive vic

break last year when Douglas took
over the wrestling team reins. A
former 145-pound Big Ten cham
pion while at Purdue and one Of a

all the angles of collegiate wrestling

But McNeil's first two years at
Maryland weren't so good. Wrestling
was on an intramural basis so Paul
and a few others organized an un-
official team. They booked four
matches, two with Gallaudet and
two with Johns Hopkins. They broke
even in both series.
In his second year the program
was expanded slightly to include
matches with Haverford, which
Maryland defeated, and Lafayette
which routed the Terps. Last year
the sport went on an accredited
basis and this winter the Southern
Conference tournament will be un-
spoiled at College Park.
Mcneil never has seen a profess
sional wrestling match except in
movies and that was enough to
cure him.

task, besides breaking the record,
is to hold that lead. If they can

NEW YORK. Feb. 2.-Tradition.

that seems to give the feature spot
to the Columbia Penn battle. Har-
ward and Princeton, another pair Of
old rivals. meet in the other game,
with each striving to get out OF last
place.
Columbia and Penn have been
carrying on their court rivalry as
long and as steadily as any other
pair of colleges-perhaps longer.
They've met 76 times in basket ball,
with the Lions leading, 1926. Penn,
however, has the edge in league
championships, 1873, with no. other
team even close, and they hold the
same status in the number of league
games won. Tonight's tilt finds
Columbia in third place, with two
victories and one defeat for the
season, while Penn has won once
and lost three times.
Yale's record for league games also
appears pretty grim-a victory over
Princeton and four defeats. So the
prospect for tonight's game not only
are for a Dartmouth victory, but
for the Indians captain, Gus Bro
berg. to do a lot of scoring In an
effort to overhaul Jim Bennett of
Cornell. Harvard's all-season rec
ord Is somewhat better than Prince
tons. but the Tigers have faced
classier opposition and should have
the edge on their home court.
Last nights feature was the
fisticuffng which marked Pitts
burgh's 56-45 triumph over West
Virginia. In a melee just before the
finish. as the Mountaineers forged
ahead, Floyd (Scotty) Hamilton
clouted Pitts Eddie Straloski on the

work together smoothly and eff
GENTLY.
At the beginning Of this season,
when Fox took over. Eastern ap-
peared no better than most Of the
other teams. There were two boys
from last years team, Moe Schulz
man and Neil Craig, plus several
Youngsters from the ightweightS
Phil nodded them into group
capable of carrying on Eastern'S
basket ball traditions and today
his Ramblers sit with Roosevelt on
top of the high school ladder and
certain of a place in the playofs
for the championship. They can
stand back and watch three other
schools. Tech, Western and Central,
scramble for the two remaining
places.
RambIers Defeat Tech.
The Ramblers won their 18th
victory in Is starts this season and
a. the same time assured them
selves of a playof berth yester-
day by downing a good Tech team,
37-3O, at Eastern. At the same
time Westerns Red Raiders were
keeping themselves in the race by
defeating Wilson. 30-l8. at RoOSe-
welt. The defeat eliminated the
Tigers last mathematical chance
OF getting a crack at the title.
To all intentS and purposes, the
round robin series ends Friday, next
Tuesdays tilt between AnacoStia and
Roosevelt being so much exercise for
those concerned. In the Friday
double bill the other two teams in
the title playoff will be decided when
Tech meets Central and Eastern
tackles Western. Here are the "ifs"
of the situation. If Tech wins it will
be in and Central will be out. West
ern also will be in regardless of the
outcome of its game against Eastern
IF Tech loses and Western wins
then Tech and Central will be tied
for spot No and western definitely
vii, be in. That necessitates a game
between Tech and Central before the
title plavoff. If both Tech and
Western lose then all three-Tech,
Western and Central-will be tied
for two places and a playof also
would be necessary.
Second Period Decides.
