selves as pretourney favorites by
thrashing Duke, 54-44, last Satur-
day night. The Tar Heels have
come a long way and shape up as
one of the smoothest combinations
of recent years, but supporters of
Duke. Virginia Tech and Maryland
think their favorites have enough
power to take the marbles with a
fair share of breaks.
North Carolina finished with Is
wins and one defeat in conference
play, while Duke had a record of
II and 2. v. P. l. continued to hold
third place with six victories and
two setbacks by stopping William
and Mary, 5l45, and also improved
it's chances of taking the State
championship.
Maryland, forced into a 5-minute
overtime period to beat a so-so
Richmond team, had another off
night. The Terps blow hot and
cold and but for Poling's hurculear
efforts in the closing minutes of the
game might have been left out in
the cold. Jack Flynn still is in his
scoring slump and Bill Brown was
off the target and that didn't help
matters. Maryland also sacrificed
flnesse for fight a couple of times
when that was the wrong strategy
1t not only ruined the Terps' usually
smooth offense, but cost them some
free throws.

The Washington Lions, slapped

requirements as they pointed toward
the Eastern Hockey League playoffs
next month.
Already headed here is Jimmy
Russell, former hotshot of the Buff

who recently has been performing
for the Shawinigan Falls club in
Canada. Russell probably will not
be available when the Lions meet
the Falcons on Philadelphia ice
Wednesday night, but Coach Make
Bennett hopes to have him in the
lineup against the Philadelphia
skaters Friday night when the Lions
play their first home match in three
weeks.
Yesterdays match with New
York, one of the toughest brawls
of the season, was marked by 5
major and IL minor penalties as
the players went to it in Pier 6

A long step forward in improving
conditions of play for the public
links championship is expected to
be taken at tonights annual meet
ing of the District Golf Association
at the University Club.
For many years the public links
title tourney has been a loosely
handled tourney. Improvements
have been in order for a long time.
Under proposal to be submitted
to the District fathers of golf, the
DGA may sponsor the public links
tourney, supervise the entries, set
closing dates for entries, and gen.
orally set the public tourney on the
same high plane as the District
championship At the same time
some delegates to tonight'S meeting
hope provision will be made for in
viting the top public links players
to compete in the District cham
pionship.
DGA Would Supervise.
The public title tourney will be
run by officials of the Leoff1er en-
terprises, as usual. under the new
steup, with DGA supervision. 1t is
one of the several moves expected
to enlarge the scope and authority
of the postwar District Golf Associa-
ton, and probably will result in ap-
pointment of a public links COM
nittee to handle the tourney.

CIV. Still Aims to Join Terps

With Maryland already qualified
for the Southern Conference basket
ball carnival, but still bit woozy

become the second entry from this

expected to land the sixth place by

but it's a five-team battle for the

Maryland could help the Colonials
by knocking off William and Mary
Wednesday. but the field is so close
ly punched and the standings are sc
involved the actual tournament
lineup won't be known until all the
games are in. It is possible that
even win over the highly touted
