With the exception of one game
lat Uline Arena with George
Washington, Maryland returns
home for the remainder Of the
college basketball season after
tonight's meeting here with vMI
and that's all right with the
Terps.
Like the other average teams
in the Southern Conference,
Maryland is having its troubles
away from home. Last nights
1856 defeat at the hands of
Washington and Lee was the
Terps' third straight road defeat.
and the last game Maryland won
was in overtime over weak David
son, also on the road.
After tonight the Terps play
six straight at home, meet CIV,
then close the season February "a
at home.
Maryland, in second place in
the Southern Conference before
leaving home last week. dropped
to ninth after last nights defeat,
with GA record. The Terps get
an opportunity to bounce back
into the select eight tonight, how
ever, as VMI has won only one
game of Is for the season.
The Terps own a 52-43 decision
over Washington and Lee. but in
q return match the Generals had
the better of it all the way. Wash
ington and Lee led, 1926, at half
time. 1t was only w. and LIS
fourth victory in II games, but
three have been over pretty good
teams-Maryland, VPI and the
Quantico Marines.
In the only other Conference
game last night. VPI boosted its
Conference record to seven VIC
tories and four defeats by beating
VMI 1850.

From Turkey to Hash Is Fate
OfEostern|s Coach Now at Bell

Frank Kley. Bell Vocational
basketball coach, must be dis
couraged at the changing assign
ment of high school coaches.
It was turkey one day and corn
beef hash the next for Kley when
he was transferred from Eastern
to Bell during last season.
He finished the campaign as the
Eastern Ramblers' coach and got
them a runner-up shot in the
1nterhigh race. They also reached
the semifinals in The Star tourna-
ment. But coaching at Bell in
football and basketball, his teams
have yet to win an interhigh
game and the Vocats at present
are in the league cellar with a
0-6 record.
The present Bell team can play
good ball on occasion. 1t came
close to upsetting Western. lead
ing 1922 at halftime and only
losing by 3 points.
However, Kley's team is not ex-
perienced and prospects of it's
winning an interhigh contest be-
fore the season ends are not too
bright. 1t only has two more
chances. against Coolidge, Friday
and Wilson the next Friday and
the Vocats will be underdogs in
both games.

short one that would have won
the game, but the official ruled
he took too many steps. Then
Western froze the ball to win.
No criticism of the officials Is
intended. In the opinions of the
timekeeper, official scorer and re-
porters, both calls were as they
should have been. But they Ger
tainly were tough breaks for a
hard-fighting Wilson team that
had played fine ball all after
noon.
Another call that still has every
one wondering occurred yesterday.
Howard Berger, Western strong
man. went up for a short shot
which he made good and q foul
was called. Instead Of giving
Berger the two-pointer and a
free throw-the customary call
the official said no goal and
awarded Berger two shots. If he
had thrown and missed Howard
would have been entitled to two
shots, and If he had been fouled
before he tossed his lay-up Berger
should have gotten one.
What spectators and players
still are trying to figure out is
why Berger got two shots and his
goal didn't count.
When the official made the call
Kupka yelled at Cliff Moore, West
tern Coach, Hey, 'Dinty. what Is
this, a new rule?"
To which Moore replied. dis
gustedly. I'VE learn something

Notes: Tree Adams, e.5 Hyatts-

vidual total of the year when he
tossed in Al against Mount
Rainier Tuesday. Dave Keys, in
jured Eastern player. is out for
the season with a bad knee and
may even miss baseball, which
would be blow to the defending
champions. for Dave has been
their dependable shortstop for two
years.
Roosevelt's Sid Frank. who had
made 18 for 10 foul shots in his
last two interhigh games, was not
called upon to shoot a technical
against Anacostia yesterday. But
Bob Potts got the nod and made
good with point that meant the
difference between a win and q
tie for the Riders. It was ex-
planned that Frank had been miss
ing occasionally lately while Potts
is getting to be deadly accurate.
