Maryland Now Rate,
"A Potent Contender
For Loop Laurels
By Lewis F. Atchison

For the moment, at least, MARY
lands smooth moving basket ball
manipulators rule the roost in the
Washington Metropolitan area.
They hoisted themselves to that
lofty position last night by adding
Georgetown's perspiration-dr
scalp, 55-49, to the austere g. W.
wig already dangling from their
belt.
Furthermore, If anybody asked us,
we'd say Mistuh Burton Shipleys
sweet -shootin' delegation has an
excellent chance Of taking the
Southern Conference crown in the
forthcoming tournament. The Terps
had it in the clutch last night, else
Georgetown would have made on
with the honors.
The only possible objection to
Maryland's No. rating might be
raised by American University's
Eagles, who astounded the figger
fllberts by upsetting Bucknell last
night. 54-51, at A. U. The Eagles
simply got as hot as some observers
figured they would one of these
days, and sent the Bisons on to
Annapolis in badly scorched britches.
Eagles Stock Goes Up.
The outcome took some OF the
edge of Bucknell's game with Navy
today, but gave A. US stock q tre-
mendous boost and was notice to
Loyola that the Mason-Dixon Con-
ference tournament may not be a
cakewalk for the Baltimoreans. I'm
fortunately, for the fans, that is.
American and Maryland are not
scheduled this season. 1t could be
one of the seasons top games, con-
sidering that both employ zone de-
fenses and fast breaks.
Maryland was outscored from the
floor by Georgetown, but offset this
by sinking Is of its "a free throws.
However, this should not be inter-
preted as a lucky break or that the
Hoyas had the better of it. The
Old Liners were in command from
the opening toss-up and had enough
to withstand Georgetown's second
half rally that threatened to turn
the tide. The Hilltoppers sorely
missed their ailing stars, Danny
Kraus and Andy Kostecka, who
weren't even IN uniform.
With Don Schuerholz, whose per-
formanace was scintilating, and
Bill Brown pacing the attack, the
Terps rolled up an astounding 1874
lead In the first IL minutes. They
had comfortable margin through
out the remainder of the half, al
though Miggs Reilly's entrance
into the game helped the Hoyas
pare it to 26-16 at the intermission.
Hanrahan Is Hoya Star.
Jim Hanrahan, a "B" team player
who has been out most Of the sea-
son with an injured ankle, sparked
Georgetown's counter ATTACK that
three times brought his mates
within a point of Maryland Sue
cessive field goals by Lloyd Potolic-
chic and Tom O'Keefe had George
town breathing down Maryland's
neck at 1892, but Vic Turyn dumped
one in for the Terps to hold the
lead. .s
From that point on IL was touch
and-go as the teams matched goal
for goal until with the count at
1897, Turyn sank two in a row for
the Terps. Reilly pooketed one Tor
Georgetown, but Turyn came back
with another two-pointer and a
foul for his side and those points
proved to be decisive.

All Spence Deals Off,
Says BIuege, as Mats
InfieId Hopes Drop
By Burton Hawkins

The Mats won't trade Outfielder
Stan Spence, says Manager Ossie
Bluege, and II he means 1t Wash
ington's baseball club viii enter
the 1947 campaign with more ques-
tionable characters than a grade B
"Whodunit" movie. Washington S
infield Is likely to be identified as
the Cartilage Kids" with every
grounder inviting ailing knees to
pop their moorings.
Spence represents player the
Mats could swap in an effort 10
bolster an inept infield, but Bluege
says all deals now are colder than
Washington weather. We've been
tempted" says Ossie, "but Spence
is a good ball player and the fans
won't let him go. He'll play center
field for us"
Woefully Weak Infield.
All Of which means the Mats may
be content to struggle along with
an infield that was woefully weak
In 1916. Mickey Vernon is capable
fixture at first base, of course, but
any further discussion of WASH
ington's potential infield shifts to
asling knees and legs, dubious shifts
and wretched, hitters.
The Mats bosses are flirting with
the idea OF moving Jerry Priddy
from second base to shortstop
which is all right except that Priddy
Is polished second baseman and
a question mark at shortstop. In
addition. when Priddy last was seen
he was hobbling on an ailing knee
victim of a torn cartilage. That
knee hasn't been tested.
Shifting Priddy would enable the
Mats to install George Myatt at
second base. Myatt. who broke his
ankle on opening day last season,
long has been plagued by a trick
knee that reportedly has been
mended by an operation. There's
no proof. however, that the hem
stitching has accomplished all that
is claimed.
Slated for third base is Cecil Ira
Wis. whose legs sagged under him last
season. Sherry Robertson also will
be candidate, and in his favor are
two sound legs.
Battle for ShortstOp Job.
Billy Hitchcock and Johnny Sulli-
van also will be bidding for the
shortstop job and it will be agree
able with the leagues opposing
pitchers if one of them wins it.
The highest batting figure compiled
by either of them as Nat is .251
Myatt's competition for second
base will be Eddie Lyons, chesty
youngster who missed most of last
season after suffering-you guessed
it-a torn cartilage at Chattanooga
Washington's trading to date con-
sists Of exchanging Jake Early, a
second-string catcher, to the St
Louis Browns for Frank Mancuso
a third-string receiver. Otherwise
the Mats have dispatched Dutch
Leonard to the Phillies and Mike
Guerra to the Athletics on waivers
sold Jake Wade to Jersey City and
picked up a relief pitcher from the
Browns in Tom Ferrick.
The Mats may start the season
with that sort Of talent, but If so
they aren't going to be exciting.

monthly rentals at Veterans

This is the second rent re-
duction since the village was
opened, February 20, 1916,

much we had to get to keep
the place operating. But we
soon gained experience. On
March 5, 1916, we had learned
enough about operating the
village to cut rentals to $25 a
month.
"We've held to that figure
until now. We have now learn
ed still more about how to run.
the village and now we know
we can cut the rent to $40 a
