Using Frosh Athletes

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. IL
Freshmen athletes viii continue
to compete on varsity teams In
the Southern Conference.
This was decided yesterday
when the conference rejected a
proposal by Virginia Tech to bar
freshmen from varsity competi-
ton. Only William q Mary
sided with Virginia Tech. The
other eight conference schools
voted to continue to allow fresh
men to compete.
C. p. Miles, dean of Virginia
Tech, introduced the proposal
and waged q short and mild
battle to get 1t passed. Miles
said the conference has been
kicking the freshman matter
back and forth since 1914 and
he was afraid the Southern
Conference is losing some Of its
prestige"
Were the only major confer
ence I can recall using freshmen
at the present time" Miles said.
He urged the conference to es-
tablish q definite policy.

Big Ten Threatens
ToAetIndependent|
Of NCAA TeIevision.
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, Dec. 1.-THE pow
erful Big Ten Conference has
joined the Pacific Coast Con-
ference to form a strong one
two bloc in favor Of regional
football television.
This could be q threat to the
NCAA's Game of the Week
program which has prevailed the
last four seasons.
Taking its firmest stand to
date, the Big Ten yesterday
strengthened its demand for re-
gional television and, rather sig
nificantly, added that it was
prepared to follow through in
dependently on the growing
issue.
The official statement Of the
Big Ten athletic directors and
faculty representatives said:
"The joint group declares that
an NCAA television program OF
of the character in operation this
season is entirely unacceptable
to the Big Ten"
Bill Reed, assistant commits
sioner of the Big Ten, added:
I'VE are facing up to the possi-
BILE necessity of taking inde-
pendent action. But we can't
say at this time we will go in
dependent if the regional pro-
gram is turned down"
The NCAA will meet in New
York January ST and, undoubt-
edly, the main item Of the con-
vention viii be television, al
though no official action may be
taken at that time. A vote of
all ,NCAA members would be re-
quired.
Last spring the NCAA took
such a vote. In a mail referen-
dunn, the members decided by an
overwhelming 1926 margin to
continue the restricted Game Of
the Week" policy.
While the Big Ten and
coast conference stood for
regional TV, the Eastern Col
lege Athletic Conference last
night came out in direct opposi-
ton by saying it favored the
present nv setup, with q few
changes.
The Eastern Conference, q
101-member group, suggested:
/. TO permit the network
andior sponsor to select any
game it wishes, instead Of the
present requirement that one
program originate from each Of
the eight NCAA districts. =
2. To permit the selection OF
games as late as i've days before
the scheduled telecast.
In essence, the Big Ten Is in
favor of q regional program con-
trolled on a national level which
would allow teams within . re-
gion to appear twice on TV, once
ct home and once away. !.

Terps' ThriI!ers Tax
Coliseum Capacity;
Edged by Deacons
By George Huber

The University of Maryland's
new 10000 capacity field house
that goes into operation next
season won't be ready minute
too soon. The kind of basket
ball excitement the Terrapins
are generating at Ritchie Col
iseum is too hot for that place
to handle.
Last night it was Wake Forest
beating the Terps in overtime,
62-58, and it was the same kind
of heart-stopping thriller put
on earlier in the week when
Maryland nosed out Duke. 49-47.
Those scoring totals don't
match the fantastic figures being
run up around other parts of
the country. but it seems to
please the standing room -only,
come -early crowds that overex-
tend Ritchie Coliseum's 4,2O0
capacity.
Play Terps' Game.
Last night it was a case OF
Wake Forest beating Maryland
at its own game. The Deacons
were forced to play Maryland's
brand of control basketball, TAX
ing only the. sure shots. The
Deacons proved better at it than
Maryland, particularly in the
five minutes of overtime after
the regular game ended in a
54-54 deadlock.
During that extra session
Wake Forest tried only two shots
from the floor, one by the 5-foot-
10 Jack Murdock and the other
by the 6-foot-1 Ernie Virgins.
Both sank their shots and Wig
gins also made good on four of
five foul. tries, while Maryland
was able to drop only two of the
nine field goals it tried.
Actually Maryland could be
accused Of blowing the game.
The Terps seemed to have it won
with as much as 6-point lead
with 3 minutes left. and they
still were in front. $3.50, IS Sec
onds from the end. But little
Murdock was a troublesome man
in the late going, twice stealing
the ball and scoring. the last
time right under the basket Is
seconds from the end. In be-
tween his two late tallies Bob
Dilworth Of Maryland made one
of two foul tries for Maryland's
54th point.
Hemric Hamstrung.
Dickie Hemric, Wake Forests
All-American candidate, was
guarded closely by Bob Everett
and a couple Of other guys. He
got only five shots at the basket
and made two.
The visiting Deacons were
ahead by z to b points all through
the first half, taking a 1926 lead,
but Maryland got back In the
game midway through the
second half by scoring Is
straight points. Everett, high
scorer for the night with 81: Bob
Kessler, next with 18, and John
Sandbower were the boys who
participated in that drive that
pulled Maryland ahead at 39-37.
Except for one short stretch when
Hemric made two fouls and one
Of his two field goals, the Terps
were ahead thereafter until the
end.

PITTSBURGH, Dec. II. - A
record-breaking George WASH
ington five is ready to take on
third-ranking Duquesne tonight
in the final Of the fourth annual
Steel Bowl basketball tourna-
ment and last nights 87-65 vic
tory over Pittsburgh served no.
tice that the Colonials are in no
trifling mood.
Duquesne posted its second
victory Of the season in trounc-
ing Fordham. 67-45, and may be
as high as an 8-point favorite
to repeat at GW's expense and
retain its Steel Bowl crown. But
the 3,840 fans who tramped
through a snow storm to see last
nights games are convinced it'll
be a whirlwind wind-up.
Fordham and Pitt will meet in
the consolation round.
With Forward Corky Devlin
and Center Joe Holup spearhead-.
ing the attack, George Washing
ton hung up three new tourna-
ment records and tied another
to hand Pitt its fourth straight
defeat. It was GW's first win
over Pitt after unsuccessful tries
in 1908 and 1926.
Devlin Skaters Mark,
Devlin's 13 field goals topped
the one-game tournament mark
of II made by Dick Ricketts, of
Duquesne against Dartmouth
two years ago. and his 32-point
game total equalled another rec
ord established by Ricketts,
against Dartmouth. Ricketts,
was held to 20 last night by.
Fordham.
George Washington's 81 points
broke the old record Of 50 made
by Duquesne against Dartmouth
in 1852, and the Colonials' "a
field goals topped the Dukes
previous mark Of 20, made
against Dartmouth in so and
equalled last year against Pitt.
Coach Bill Reinhart's men,
bouncing back after their defeat
by Wake Forest in the season
inaugural, could have rolled up
a higher score. But Reinhart
used IL men, after his team
took q 46-26 halftime lead, and
CIV was in full command
throughout the game.
Duquesne, lacking reserve
depth, played cautiously against
Fordham and led by only 1921
at the half. Whether they can
hold CIV as well is conjectural..
Holup added 80 points to Dev-
Inns 80, to share the scoring
spotlight and the pair undoubt-
edly will come in for much at
tention from Duquesne's defense
tonight.
Riser PAGES Pitt.
CIV also had a big edge at the
foul line, making good on 10
tosses, compared to nine for
Pittsburgh.
John Riser was Pitts only
consistent scorer, finishing with
a strong second half to chalk up
a 27-point total.
Duquesne's caution was in
spired by Coach Dud Moore's
warning against fouling out.
Forward 81 Green, who jammed
26 points through the hoop, had
only one personal foul called on
him, and Guard Mickey Vino
grad was the only Duke to foul
five times. Against GW's faster
pace tonight the defending
champions may have more
trouble.

missioner, his decision would be
accepted as final by every other
conference school.
He would not be eligible for
