30 Penns SPORTS. ylvanians Display Great Power in Sending Navy Overtime—Georgetown Opens Campaign Tomorrow Against Wake Forest. BY H.C AFAYETTE'S basket ball team L at College Park tonight for a . BYRD. that all but upset the winning streak of Navy at Annapolis yesterday afternoon will invade Ritchie gym battle with the University of Mary- land team. The varsity contest, which is slated for 8 o'clock, will be pre- ceded an hour earlier by a clash between the Maryland freshmen and Hyattsville High teams. It will be the first game since the holiday$ for the Old Line varsity basketers, who have not played since December 10, when they bowed to the M idshipmen in a close contest. It will be the second game of the day for the College Park yearlings, who are taking on Business High this afternoon at 4 o'cloc! That Lafayette will all, and maybe more, it is looking for was demonstrated by the great showing of the Penn- sylvania aggregation against the Mid- dies. Trailing at 11-18 at the outset of the second half, the Eastonians battled their way to a 35-25 deadlock just before the whistle blew ending the regulation playing time. In the extra period Navy got a court goal and one from the foul line, while Lafayette added only one point from the 15-foot mark, Maryland's long lay-off from actual competition with outside rivals may hurt its chances tonight. Last Satur- day the Maryland varsity was lined up against the freshman five and had a hard time winning, and in another practice game Monday night the best the big team could do was to get the long end of the score by a 3-point margin. Whether or not this is in- dication that the varsity is not in &ood shape or that the freshman out it is progressing is a question. The freshmen, of course, have the advan- tage over an outside team in being famillar with the varsity's plays. At ¢ any rate, the game tonight should be one of the best of the season here- abouts. Coach Shipley may use two entirely different combinations of freshmen in the games with Business and Hyatts- ville High. It is certain that none of them will go the route if they figure fn_both battles. give Maryland opposition that Coach John O'Rellly is putting the finishing touches on the Georgetown quint for the Blue and Gray's opening game of the campaign against Wake Forest at the Hilltop tomorrow night. | The North Carolinians will have the benefit of several games on reaching here, as they are playing on their way up. Last night the Wake Forest com- bination ran roughshod over Virginia Poly. George Washington started its game last night with Catholic University at a furious gait and at one time early in the contest had the score standing 8 to 2 in its favor. Two long shots from the corner of the floor put the Hatchetites in the lead by 4 to 0, and Indications were that they had better than an even chance to win, especially as C. U. did not get Into its stride, shot inaccurately and got no rebound shots during the first quarter. However, the Brook- landers seemed to be in better physi- cal condition and better able to stand the gaff. At least they kept up the fast pace much longer than the Hatchetites and won, 24 to 20, The game between the two rivals was remarkably fast, notwithstanding the difficulty each seemed to have in dropping the ball through the net. Few basket ball contests find all the players going at a greater speed than those making up the two teams that battled in the Brookland gym. Much of the physical effort put into the game was wasted The George Washington quint seemed to throw itself into the play with much greater abandon and dis- plaved more consistent fight than any Hatchetite team of recent years The Brooklanders, while they won and at times displayed some good basket ball, are not the team they were a year ago. They have no floor leader of the caliber of Ed Lynch and no player who measures a where near up to his standard.

This will be in line with C. U.s attempt to develop box- ing as an intercollegiate sport. Moran HIGH SCHOOL STADIUM PLANNED IN ST. LOUIS ST.

The Mets led during the first half, but their op- ponents managed to knot the score in the third period, and at the beginning of the fourth held a one-point lead. However, the ultimate winners rallied and allowed the Webster girls a lone counter during the quarter and rolled their own points up almost without interruption. Misses Thomas and Bovd scored heavily for the winners, while Misses Zeigler and Boger contributed most of the baskets for the losers.

The “opposite guard” play cam be used successfully against the best basket ball teams at least three or five times during a game. A guard takes the ball out of bounds ant center and two forwards on hi rush toward him to take the However, he does not pass to them. What he does do is to bluft to them and actually pass to the other guard, who has rum down the floor, This calls for n long pass, which must be directed to an open mpace and mot to the guard who is receiving—that is, allowance must be made for th speed of the guard who Is to recelve the pass on the run. Almost always this play will result in a “sucking in” of the opposing players and will allow a clear shot at the basket. The guard who makes the pass from out of bounds must drop back immedi- ately, to “cover up.” THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, ‘D. 0O, THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1925. Lafayette Five at Maryland U.

A N 25 EVENTS IS LIMIT IN BALTIMORE MEET BALTIMORE, January 15.—The Johns Hopkins-Fifth Regiment games committee has decided to limit the number of events on the program at the indoor meet this year to 25. The carnival will be held at the Fifth Regiment Armory February 23. Approximately 35 events were on last year's schedule. It is the bellef of the committee that the abbreviated program will enable the spectators to enjoy the contests to a greater de- gree and will eliminate the danger of lagging interest. The open handicap events suffered most in the wielding of the ax, only four of these branches of competi- ion remaining on the tentative list. The quartet that escaped are the open 100-yard dash, the 440-yard run, the high jump and the 800 meters. the last a modification of the 880, to accord with the Olympic distance. Four races appear to head the list this year, with the event in which Paavo Nurmi, Finnish marvel, will meet a picked field as the outstand- ing feature. Nurmi has reserved the right to pick his distance, and it is understood that the race will be over a route of 0 to 3,000 meters. Nur- mi will select a distance in which he believes he can establish a new world record. The invitation 100-yard dash, the invitation mile and the open handi- cap walk are the other feature races on the program. Among the events were the hurdles, the shotput, the open mile and the pole ault Other races included on the tentative list are the 100-yard dash, the 440- vard run and the running high jump in the open handicap division; the 100- yard dash, the running high jump and the 440-yard dash in the Inter- scholastic open handicap section; the 600-yard interscholastic special, the indoor distance medley relay for the collegiate championship of America and the high school championship mile relay are features of the meet.

Dorando, great Italian distance run- ner of several vears ago who col- lapsed at the Olympic games and was dragged over the finish line by offi- cials, obtained one record when he came to America that so far has eluded Paavo Nurmi. A popular song was written about him, the words of which intimated that Ttalian friends had staked their money on Dorando’s performances. It ran . Itsa hard ta losa da mon’ wen da sopuvagun no run.

The mile anll three-quarters race at the Illinois Athletic Club indoor meet probably will be in Nurmi's favor, said the little Chicago middle distance man. “Nurmi is much more ready for a long distance than I am,” he sald “but it is up to me to run him, and T'll run him to my limit." Nurmi will board a sleeper immediately after his New York appearance tonight.

NEW YORK, January 15.—The an- nual intercolleglate regatta probably will be rowed on Monday, June 22, at Poughkeepsie over a three-mile course on the Hudson River, with one of the largest fields in the history of the classic taking part in the varsity race. This was indicated in connection with announcement by Maxwell Stev- enson, chairman of the board of stewards of the Intercollegiate Row- ing Association, that the annual meet- ing of the stewards will be held here January 22 to frame the regatta pro- gram. Stevenson, who represents Columbus on the board of stewards, did not in- dicate what course he would take at the meeting on the question of the distance of the varsity race, but some argument may be put forth to bring about a return to the four-mile dis- tance, instead of three miles. Such a proposal has been voted down for {the last two years, with Columbia as the chief sponsor of the tance. Syracuse is understood to be in- clined somewhat toward the longer race, but both Cornell and Penn vania, other members of the I. R. A., have held out firmly for the three- mile distance and it seems likely their views will prevail for at least an- other vear. This year's race will again take the form of an open championship, as was done last season, according to Mr. Stevenson, who said invitations would be forwarded after next week's meet- ing to such institutions as University of Washington, varsity winner the last two vears: University of Call- fornia, Wisconsin University, Naval Academy and Princeton. Navy has already signified its read- longer dis- iness to return to the Hudson after a| vear's lapse and Washington is ex- pected to defend her laurels, al- though the status of the “Huskies"” depends largely upon the outcome of their annual race with California, scheduled on the Pacific Coast for April 11 Wisconsin, which finished second in 1924, also is likely to return, thus giv- ing prospect for seven contenders for the varsity title. The door for Prince- ton’s admission has been held open for several years, but the Tigers have not indicated whgther they may ar- range their schedule to accept a 1925 invitatien. The date for the regatta will not be settled until the stewards go over the program, but June 22 is favored, asa date avoiding conflict with various commencement schedules and also the Harvard-Yale event, which fs slated for June 19, on the Thames at New SPORTS. start. Listen to them: favorite hen roost. There is at least a possibility that the small track may bother the Finn. Then, too, consider Paavo's program. He' will run in the Municipal Ath- letic Association games in the Gar- den in New York tonight. He then will hustle into his clothes and take the 10:10 p.m. train for Chicago, ar- riving at 8:30 tomorrow evening. He will have about an hour to shake off the effects of the long journey before he is summoned to the starting line to tackle Jole Ray and others in a mile-and-three-quarters race.
