Terps TaekIing Duke
After an Appetizing
Win Over Virginia
Travis, With 20 Points,
Gets Lote Goal Thut
Conquers Cavaliers
Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHARIOTTESVIIIE

| Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Jan.
9.-Hopeful its 1884 victory over
Virginia last night was merely an
appetizer for tonight's game with
Duke, Maryland's touring Terps hot
footed it for Durham, N. c., today
for Southern Conference business.
Ernie Travis, dropping in 20 points
and prodding his season total to
116, was the big gun last night,
caging the winning bucket in the
last minute OF play. And the lanky,
keyed center is expected to bear
the brunt of the scoring burden
against Duke, although the Blue
Devils are forewarned of his deadly
accuracy and will be waiting for him.
Duke expected to use big Bob
CAN'T. Durham youngster and star
for the first time this year tonight,
but it is doubtful If his debut can
yank the spotlight off Travis. Gantt's
appearance in court livery was de-
layed by the Rose Bowl game and
retarded further by leg injury suf-
fered in the fray.
Travis scoring against Virginia
was well distributed. He netted five
field goals and a brace of fouls to
give his mates lead midway in the
first half and then led the winning
counter-attack in the second after
Dick Wiltshire. AL Lowman and
Picket had restored the Cavaliers to
the lead.
Maryland employed an all-soph-
omore lineup in whipping Virginia
and will rely on the same group
tonight.

Toulon itself is of tremendous i'm
