Terp-W. & |. Game
Tomorrow. Will Open
Lacrosse Season

University of Maryland opens
its lacrosse season tomorrow at
Washington and Lee with the same
lineup it had last year. The Old
Line stickmen won eight of 10
games last year and with a veteran
team back could be expected to
improve. However, the games it
lost were to Johns Hopkins and
Navy, who beat everybody else
also and who again are tough.
Coaches AL Heagy and Jack
Faber believe the big thing about
this years team is its tight de-
fense, which they call the best
they've had in many seasons. They
still are worried about the midfield
and attack which haven't shaped
up in practice the way they would
like. Altogether, the Terrapins
were satisfactory in a scrimmage
last Saturday against Washington
College.
Despite the coaches worry about
the midfleld, it doesn't appear bad
at all with two experienced trios
available. At the faceon they
have Co-Capt. Charles Herbert
who won All-America honorable
mention last year. Among other
stars are Co-Capt. Hank Lowry
on attack, Joe Tydings on defense
and Bob Stockdale as goalie.
Helping with the tight defense are
three football players, Chet Gle
rula, Jack Troha and Elmer
Wingate. Another footballer, Stan
Karnash, works with the midfleld
trio.

6. ". Signs TO Stage
Basketball at UIine;
6. G.U.PIans Same Move

George Washington University
today signed a contract to play
all Its home basket ball games at
Uline Arena for the next three
years.
Georgetown University is ex-
pected to sign a similar contract
after several minor details are
ironed out. The Two schools thus
move their basket ball games from
the Armory scene of most of their
games the past two seasons.
The contract for George Wash
ington was signed by Max Far
rington, director of mems activi-
ties for the school, and by Maj
Howard Livingston, representing
the Uline Arena management.
No Conflict With Pros.
The college games will be played
on Tuesday and Friday nights
and thus will avoid conflict with
the professional games played on
Wednesday and Saturday nights
For the last two years. both the
pros and colleges have been COM
peting with each other for busi-
ness on Wednesday and Saturday
nights.
Main reason for the shift. ac-
cording to harrington, was the
lack of adequate seating facilities
at the Armory. He pointed out
that the colleges had to hire their
own seats and that they were of
an unsatisfactory circus bleacher
type. He also pointed out that
the Armory was not available for
all the dates the schools wanted
There have been rumors that
we were being kicked out of the
Armory, or that we got sore and
left, but neither is true" said Far
rington. 'The management OF
the Armory, Dutch Bergman
Frank Hayes and the rest have
been very friendly and co-opera-
tive, but they could not overcome
the seating situation"
Dates Well Arranged.
In returning to Uline Arena
the colleges 60 back to the place
where they played before shifting
to the Armory. They left Uline
Arena because of what they called
excessive rentals and inability
to get satisfactory dates. They
now have what harrington said
was "a very satisfactory contract
and an excellent arrangement on
dates. With the colleges playing
on Tuesdays and Fridays, and the
pros on Wednesdays and Satur-
days, it will make Uline Arena
the real center of basketball in
Washington"
Among the teams George Wash
ington will play at Uline Arena
next year are North Carolina
State, North Carolina, Washing
ton and Lee, Virginia. Duke, Will
liam and Mary, Virginia Tech
South Carolina, Clemson, Mary
land and Georgetown. Altogether
the schools expect to play from
IL to Is home games each at
Uline Arena, with five or six OF
them in double headers.
