CoIoniaIs Trip WIN.
For First Cage Win
In Southern Loop

It's too late to make George Wash

bowling success, but the Colonials

started If they continue in their
remaining four games to show the
brand of playing they displayed last
night. The downtown cagers snapped
out Of the doldrums to trim William
and Mary, 65-51. at Tech gym to
end a seven-game losing string and
register their first Southern Con-
ference win in six loop starts this
season.
The Colonials played their best
brand Of ball this year in topping
the Indians, who previously had de-
feated them, 45-39. Barry Kreisberg
led the big guns last night, ably
aided by several former local scho-
lastic aces as the Colonials stepped
into a good lead early in the game
and coasted home with the second
and third stringers on the floor at
the end. Kreisberg. playing center
tossed in seven goals from the floor
and did not miss in eight shots from
the foul line to lead the way with
% points.
Johnny Moffett, former Tech ace
and Ollie Kennedy, Roosevelt prod
uct, also were important scorers TO,
G. w., registering Is and points
respectively. The Colonials were in
front, 31-16, at halftime and con-
tinued to breeze ahead until they
enjoyed a $3.50 advantage midway

Specht, recent discharge of the

and paired with Donna Atwood, he
is outstanding. Perhaps Miss At

easily is the class skater of the

prowess of tall players.
The National Basket Ball Com
mittee will meet in New York next
month to interpret statistics of the
game now being gathered and study
reports of the current seasons ac-
tivity, as we'll as authorize possible

Among the topics expected to re-
ceive most attention are:
l. Possibilities for improving ccm-
petition by equalizing advantages of
players of average height and play
ers of extreme height.
2. An improved method Of pre-
venting free substitution evils.
8. Methods of avoiding the ragged

Clark Shaughnessy, haired
exponent Of the T formation who
jumped from Maryland's frying pan
into Pittsburgh's fire three years
ago, reversed his field and jumped
back again yesterday. The move
completely fabbergasted football ex-
perts and amateurs alike, for
Shaughnessy's return is as astound-
ing as was his departure three
years ago, brief 10 months after
his arrival at College Park.
President H. c. Byrd of Maryland
explained his motive in rehiring the
veteran coach simply:
"Shaughnessy is one of the best
two or three coaches in America, !"
he said. THE fact that he has had
trouble at Pitt doesn't alter the
fact that he is great football
coach"
Shaughnessy declared he was de
lighted" to return to Maryland.
I'm going back to where 1 came
FROM" he said. II guess that proves
I never should have left in the
first place"
Will Visit Maryland Friday.
DR.. Byrd announced that Shaugh-
messy would come to College Park
Friday to attend luncheon with
the football team. He will 60 to
California for a two-week vacation,
returning to Maryland around the
first of March to begin spring prac-
tice. DR.. Byrd said the coach will
pick his own assistants, take COM
plete charge and be his own boss"
He added that it is understood
Shaughnessy will remain at Mary
land and not consider any other
college offer, thereby guarding
against another hasty exit.
Under the new setup, Shaughnessy
will be in closer touch with the Red
skins, a factor certain to find favor
with the pro club. Redskin Coach
Turk Edwards, who stepped up when
Dud De Groot resigned to accept a
berth with the Los Angeles All
Americas, is an ardent Shaughnessy
disciple and. the two worked well to-
gether during the last two years.
Shaughnessy succeeds Paul Bry-
ant, who succeeded DR.. Clarence
Spears, only to depart for Kentucky
last month. Shaughnessy resigned
at Pittsburgh after repeatedly voic-
ing his intention to hold the post
despite mounting torrent of crit
icism, only after Pitt faculty
committee recommended his reten-
ton with the proviso that he sever
any relations with professional
football
Holds Pro Game Helpful.
Shaughnessy, who has been asso-
ciated with the Washington pro
Redskins in an advisory capacity
the last two years, rejected this
ultimatum. He defended his posi-
ton by making public portions OF
an eight-page letter he wrote to
DR.. R. E. Sherill. chairman of the
faculty committee. At the time, he
said, he had every intention OF
remaining at Pittsburgh" despite
scorching criticism by Pittsburgh
sports writers, criticism climaxed
by demand for Shaughnessy's res
ignation last week by three of his
assistants.
In his letter to DR.. Sherill the
coach wrote:
II have maintained, and will con-
tinue to maintain, that it is up to
me to qualify myself in every way
possible to do the best job of teach
ing football within my power, bear
