Richmond u. Names
Merrick, Former Star /,
AS IFS Grid Coach
BY the Assoeioted Press

RICHMOND, Va. Jan. led
Merrick returned to the University
Of Richmond today as head foot
ball coach to try to bring gridiron
glory back to his alma mater.
Merrick is IS years old. For
the last five years he has guided
the football forces at Fork Union
(Va.) Military Academy. His sue
cess has been phenomenal. Under
Merrick. Fork Union won 36 games
and lost IL, currently has a string
Of II straight victories.
Merrick succeeds Karl A. Dick)
Esleeck, who was plucked from
the scholastic coaching ranks
three years ago. Esleeck's con-
tract was not renewed when it ex-
pired at the close Of the last cam
paign.
The new Richmond mentor is
an exponent of the "T" forma-
ton. dresses up his offense with
f1ankers and men in motion.
Merrick was an All-Southern
Conference center at Richmond
in 1899.
AS coach Of the Spiders, Merrick
faces a tremendous task. Rich
mond has won only five football
games the last two years.
1--we a three-point program in
mind" Merrick said. We've got
to sell the University of Richmond
football team to the people of
Richmond. We've got to restore
the confidence of the Richmond
students in the team. And we've
got to go out and get some more
players.
I'm not kidding myself. You
don't win football games without
material. I don't want to waste
any time beginning a campaign to
collect players. I plan to make a
trip very shortly"
Merrick's college coach, Glenn
Thistlethwaite, regarded the ITO
pound Ed as a coach on the
field" Merrick proved a master
at diagnosing an opponents plays,
was an outstanding line backer
and deadly tackler.
Except for two years during the

CrenshRw Hardy, Lester Nc
Menamin and Kessler outfought
the Trainers for the rebounds-a
department Tech has controlled
all season-and held Tech to SO
points.
GW's zone defense in it's play
pen gym kept Tech from getting
in close and the Trainers, unused
to such cramped quarters, often
found themselves taking re-
bounds and stepping out OF
bounds, the backboards are SO
close to the lines.
Dutch Usilaner, Tech coach
was disappointed but not discour-
aged. "GW controlled most of the
rebounds and played fine game y
Dutch said. II couldn't get my
boys steamed up over the game
while CIV was ready to knock us
off"
I'D like to get another crack
at them On big floor" he added
hopefully.
Perhaps a return match is in
the making. Tech is a good bet
to qualify for The Star Tourna-
ment in February, and CIV is q
cinch to be one of the teams. If
the two meet again it should be
quite battle.
It's still shoot, shoot, shoot in
the interhigh league. Most of the
gunners, it seems. wouldn't pass
to George Mikan if he were all
alone under the basket, but would
rather toss one up with three men
hanging on the shooter.
High school players could learn
much by watching the college
teams. Even VPI's shooters who
fred plenty against CIV the other
night passed off when teammates
had better shots and on a fast
break the college boys around
town drive in toward the basket
to draw the defense, then drop
the ball off to unguarded men.
It's true that in insisting on 60
ing up for a shot while dashing
in to the basket a boy probably
will draw two foul tosses. but how
much easier are 2 points scored
by man waiting unguarded for
a pass.
George Burch, who played a
great game for Roosevelt against
Eastern Tuesday. got very lonely,
waiting in solitude, under the
basket for passes that never came
while Bill Smith and Robbie
Smithers drove in to shoot with
Fasteners hanging from their
elbows.
AS an all around player my
candidate for the best performer
in the city is Barry Ryan, Ana
costia's great forward.
Ryan can make any shot with
either hand, probably has the best

Interhioh STANDINGS
Interhiqh Standings

Chamberlain Vocational has its
first win over its older interhigh
rivals in more than a year after
outhustling Wilson. 41-36. at
,Uline yesterday. Anacostia broke
into the league win column with
a 1886 win over Bell in the Sec
ond game Of a double header.
The Volts have been able to
take care of their vocational rival,
Bell. in interhigh competition, but
a basketball win over Western
last season was It's only victory
over the older schools until yes
terday.
Coach Forrest Powars, former
Bluebeard OF the interhigh league
until he shaved his goatee last
week. has a well-coached, aggres-
sive team that had looked good
losing to Tech and Coolidge and
winning from Bell. Chamberlain
has been no pushover, and it
proved this yesterday.
Chamberlain outfought and out
hustled a sluggish Wilson team,
and rallied fiercely in the third
quarter to overcome a half-time
deficit and again came back in
the fourth period to break a 1888
tie and win going away.
Kolley's 16 Leads Volts.
1t was a smart game the Volts
played, too. After taking small
lead and with 3 minutes still re-
naming in the game Tony Mag
MOTTO and Joe Kolley. Chamber
lain stars, slowed the pace and
went into a semifreeze which
forced Wilson to come after the
ball and enabled the Volts to break
past their defenders for several
layups that clinched the outcome
Kolley played a fine game and
together with John Flaherty took
all the rebounds Don Scott in his
usual role as Wilson's lonesome
blackboard man couldn't grab.
Magnetic shot accurately from
outside. sank seven of eight foul
shots and handled the ball well.
Kolley and Magnetic made 16
and 13 points while Wilson's high
scorers were Scott. 10, and Art
Haight. 8.
If Anacostia had more players
like Barry Ryan it would give
any team in the league a battle
for honors. The inexperienced
Indians are in seventh place in
the interhigh standings after
yesterdays win but Ryan has been
playing brilliant ball all season.
Two Games Tomorrow.
Barry only scored II points
against Bell but it was his re-
bound work and floor play that
led his team to its first league
victory.
Playing without Buddy Money,
good shooting guard and play
maker who is out with a cut eye,
still worked well as a
unit and only hook shots by
Bells Gene Herring and George
gave the Indians any
trouble.
Bob Faulkner with IL points,
Ryan and Bill Hilleary with 10.
led Anacostia while Herring and
Mulloy with II and 10 were high
for Bell.
Interhigh action continues to-
morrow with Bell against Western
in the first game and Cham
berlain VS.. Roosevelt in the sec

dllQ Ile 5 SO reluctant 10 S1OOG he
has to be urged to throw the
ball up.
Several times against Cham
berlain yesterday he had chances
for drive-in shots that no one
would have criticized, but Ryan
dropped the ball off as he went
up in the air to shoot and an
other Anacostia player in slight
ly better position would make the
easy 2 points.
Barry can be high scorer Che
made % against Western) but he's
much more valuable as a team
player. Anacostia has a 1-3 rec
ord in interhigh and though it has
played good ball this season is in
experienced. It would be inter-
esting to see Ryan playing for one
of the league leaders. He likely
would be even more of a star.
Western gave it's fans a case of
the Jitters against Coolidge Tues
day, winning by only one point but
it may have been the making of
the Raiders team.
Lou Snouffer, Western high
point man and one of the best
players in the city. fouled out in
the middle of the fourth quarter
and without their star it looked
bad for the Raiders.
But Bill Berger, who was out
standing under the boards, Marvin
Rosenblatt and Arnie Scribner
took up the slack and rallied the
big Red to win. They proved to
themselves they are not a one
man team and should have more
confidence after this.
NOTES: The Eastern gym,
which has been completely reno
vated. will be opened for the first
time since before the Christmas
holidays when the Ramblers play
Gonzaga in the second game Of a
double-header tomorrow night.
The new George Washington gym
to be named after the late Jack
Tulloch, managing editor Of the
Alexandria Gazette who died jan
uary 8, will not go up until after
building restrictions are lifted.
Just for the record, Hardy
Pearce, interhigh sports head,
says the schools are completely
satisfied with Uline Arena, don't
plan to move back to Tech un-
less the Trainer gym has more
exits installed. and even if they
did return still would play some
games at Uline's.
Don Scott, Wilson's fine pivot
man, who has been notoriously
bad on foul shots, has been prac-
ticing. He made four for four
against Chamberlain yesterday.
Interhigh players could take les
sons in free throws from Roose-
velt's Sid Frank who set some
sort of record with IL for 10
against Eastern.
Gerry LeCompte Of Gonzaga
still leads the Catholic League
