Maryland Warns Up
For Clash With NAVY
By Beating Generals

team on display before the home
folks tonight for the first time
in more than a month when the
Colonials take on Washington
& Lee at Uline Arena. The
game starts at $3.50 o'clock.
Not since January 7. when
they beat Georgetown, have the
Colonials played at home. That
was their eighth straight victory
and since then they have worked
up to a ISL record-the one loss
an upset by Maryland. +
Next week CIV continues its
home stand with tougher games
against William & Mary Tues
day night and with Wake Forest
Friday night. The Colonials also
will get a chance to square
things with Maryland at Uline's
February % before their last
regular season game February
q at North Carolina State.
CIV already has beaten w & L
once, 1888, at Lexington, and
Maryland also took the Generals
into camp last night at College
Park, 76-43. That was Maryland's
seventh straight victory and
served as warmup for tomor-
row afternoons game against
Navy at Annapolis.
School Records Broken.
Last nights game also saw
the breaking of couple of school
records. Gene Shue scored 26
points to total 452, passing his
own record of 435 for one season
set last year. 1t was the teams
18th win against four losses.
breaking the regular-season rec
ord of II victories set in 1929
and matched in 1881. The 1880
team won ID games. including
three in a post-seaSon tourna-
ment.
Tomorrow's game against Navy
at Annapolis already is a SELL
out. incidentally, and Naval
Academy officials request that
persons without tickets do not
attempt to attend. The game will
be on television. however. over
WMAL-TV starting at 2:30 pm.
Navy has a 1874 record and. after
meeting Maryland. will have only
four games left, all at home. A
good showing may earn the Mid
dies a bid to either the NIT or
NCAA tournaments.
The only major game here
tomorrow night has Virginia
against Georgetown at Nc
Donough gym, with the Hoyas
attempting to end their seven
game losing string.
CIV Heavily Favored.
George Washington will be
heavily favored tonight. having
just returned from a tough road
trip in which it defeated Duke,
South Carolina and Furman
within four days. Those three
victories gave the Colonials what
they consider their most success
full road trip in years and the
squad was given a boiSterous
reception yesterday with a pep
rally in front of the Student
| Union.
| The CIV Booster Band turned
out to lead about 900 cheering
students, there was a short
speech by Coach Bill Reinhart
the players were introduced. and
a good time was had by all.
There should be a good crowd
at Uline Arena tonight. not only
because OF the successes being
enjoyed by the CIV team but
also because this is Boy Scout
night. The school has invited
$500 scouts to attend free.
George Washingtons ISL rec
ord. incidentally, does not in
clude a loss in a Scrimmage ses-
sion with Andrews Air Base
earlier this month when the CO.
lonials had long layoff between
semesters. Nor does it include
an earlier practice session with
the Andrews team which the
Colonials won. The Andrews
Rockets themselves consider
these games as practices and
do not include them in their
fancy 22-3 record, and the same
goes for Rockets workouts
against Maryland, which they
lost. and against Georgetown,
which they won.
Terps Lead From Start.
The Maryland W&L game last
night at College Park was Mary
lands from the opening whistle.
The Terrapins spurted to a 1871
lead in the first few minutes,
and never were approached.
1t was 17-9 at the first quar-
ter, and 1920 at halftime. Mary
land outscored W&L by only
14-13 in the third period, but
spurted again with % points to
the visitors 10 in the last
stretch It was W&zL's 10th loss
against four wins.
While en- route to his 26-point
total, Shue banged in 10 field
goals and six free throws of eight
attempted. He still has six regu-
lar-season games to go in which
to add to his total.
Trailing Shue was Bob Kess-
Ter with II points for Maryland.
while in between was Jim Rich
