For Maryland Fails
To Stop Marshall

Bobby Gralley, University OF
Maryland freshman who joined the
basket ball squad just this week
may have earned himself a place
among the Old Line regulars with
his play against Marshall College
last night at Ritchie Coliseum.
Marshall won the game, 46-39, tc

but the bruise was somewhat easec
by the all-around skill displayed by
Gralley. He led the Old Line scor-
ing with II points, most of them
coming at important moments, anG
his speed kept the Marshall players
on the run.
Marshall had an 1876 lead half
way through the opening half, but
Maryland rallied to tie the score
on shot by Gralley and was ahead

then led a Marshall attack that

Ruffin Eliminated, Angott Eoge,
To Meet Jack for Full Crown

But, Bouncing Beau or Bobcat

on his apron again and get back to
his pretzel-bending-or, rather. un-
bending-sooner or later. Four

Then, last fall, he went into a per-
manent retirement temporarily. ;
and the thing became more mixed
up than ever, with the Jumping
Jack taking the New York half, anc
a few months ago, Sammy coming
back to grab the NBA chunk again
So Angott feels a bit guilty about
! it and wants to get the scramble
unscrambled again-as we'll as tc
pick up any spare change that may
be kicking around. He put in appli-
cation form 3312-B to Promoter
Jacobs today to get him the New
York boss in a hurry. And the
talent situation being what it is
which is about as plentiful as top

New Workers Favored
Al rs 10 Take Game
For Eastern Title
BY JACK HAND,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Dec. 18.-Three times
is out, even in the National Foot
ball Leagues Frostbite Derby, so the
New York Giants and Washington
Redskins dare the weatherman for
the last time tomorrow afternoon on
the frozen turf of the Polo Grounds,
with $4,000 watching to see which
team is to be straight armed out of
a juicy playoff date with the Chi
cago Bears.
Reports from the Bears front den
that over 100000 already is in the
December 26 payoff till can be ex-
pected to spur on the Skins and
New Workers, who have been trying
to decide the Eastern half cham
pionship for three Sundays running
Flu Hits Giants Guard.
When the teams started their De-
cember shopping for some extra hol-
iday dough, Steve Owens men were
supposed to be taken in short order.
There were more ifs to the situation
than in a horse parlay. But they
have beaten Sammy Baugh and COM
pany two times and rate, 7 to 5, to
do it again when it will hurt the
most
Charley Avedisian, Giant first
string guard, was hauled away to a
hospital as a flu victim yesterday,
just when he'd been given the green
light of recovery from a shoulder
injury He might be around, but
isn't expected to join in the shown.
End Frank Liebel, who broke his
nose last week, will operate behind a
special mask.
WaShington's Wilbur Moore, who
repeatedly came along for the ride,
may see action on pass defense &C
cording to Coach Dutch Bergman
whose battered charges appear to be
in somewhat improved condition
after a week of rest. Wee Willie
Wilkin has two bad knees, George
Cafego and Bob Masterson have
creaking backs. but all are due to
toss the crutches away by game
time. Only Guard Dick Farman
appears to be definitely out.
Both Coaches on Spot.
Owens strategy in the first two
games has been to cover the Wash
ington catchers and let Sammy do
all the pitching he can. The
emphasis has been on eliminating
long touchdown tosses instead of
trying to stop the throwing alto
gether. It's worked so far, but many
wise football men can't imagine
team with Baugh in the lineup
losing four in row. Washington
bowed to Philadelphia the week be-
fore it started its December feuding
with the Gianuts.
If things run according to form
it will be Billy Paschals line pound
ing and Emery NiX's passing versus
the mighty Baugh. but things
haven't been running to form this
football season.
Both coaches are in the same spot.
They have to win yet they want to
keep as much as possible under the
hood for the Bears if they do get
past this one. The customers seem
to enjoy the situation and are re-
ported paying $3.50 for some of the
choice $3.50 locations.
