Maryland n. {. Stale
Game Thursday Tops
Area Basketball Card
By Georqe Huber

Maryland's big game Of the
year comes up at College Park
Thursday night when the Ter
rapins finally get q crack at
North Carolina States famous
basketball team ON the Richie
Coliseum fioor-something that
hasn't happened since the
Everett Case coaching era began
at Raleigh.
The Terps and the Wolfpack
have played few times In recent
years. largely because Maryland
insists ON home and home
scheduling. while N. C. State
wants to play as MANY games as
possible at Raleigh. where 10000
people can-and often do-turn
out for basketball since Case
started the big buildup.
The two teams last played in
the semifinals Of the Southern
Conference championship tourH1-
ament in 1851. with N. C. State
winning. 64-45. And they split
two games in 1916.
Now the Atlantic Coast Confer
ence rules make home and-home
scheduling mandatory. so the
Wolfpack comes to College Park
Thursday and the Terps play at

NYU Plays HOyas Here.
The North Carolina State game
naturally Is the feature of this

also gets into its usual Wednes-
day-Saturday schedule, with
Franklin and Marshall at Annap-

| Maryland has a little Attain
tic Coast Conference business
against South Carolina tomorrow
night at Columbia, S. c. lending
a two-galne trip that started
with a 7I-63 victory at Clemson
| last night--but whether the
Terps win or lose land they
should VIM will make little diff
ference in their attitude toward
the North Carolina State game
Thursday.
Game time is 8:l5 PM, fol-
lowing . s pm. preliminary in
volving Maryland Freshmen and
Bulls School. The admission fee
is only SIPS, and at that price
it figures to be one of those
come-early-or you don't get in
games for plant seating 1900,
packed very tight.
/ The Wo1fpack, defending
champions in the Atlantic Coast
Conference, have a 1871 record
and figure to increase 1t against
Furman Tuesday before ar
| irving at College Park. They took
their first IL games last month
through the Dixie Classic, which
they won, and then dropped a
game to Villanova while their
No. 2 scorer, the 6-foot-10 Cliff
Dwyer, was out with a bum
elbow.
They got back their winning
touch by taking Duke, 96-91, at
Durham last night.
