Maryland last night broke into the winning class in its backet ball rivalry with Cathotic University. For the first time since teams institutions have been meeting in the floor game, the Old Liners took the measure of the Brooklanders in the 18-to-14 varsity contest played in the latter's gymnasium. A last-minute rally, with Center Supplee playing & leading role, brought success to the Marylanders. Catholic University began the second half with & 10-to-6 advantage, and shortly after attempted to ‘‘freeze” onto the ball. But this safe play had to be abandomed after Maryland pock- eted @ couple of shots from scrim- mage. Then a field goal by Supplee, ton a three-yard rival in’the MY GREATEST THRILL IN SPORT By 0. B.

In four succes- starts Bobby had finished eighth second and in a tie for first place. This time it was a tle at 296 strokes with Bobby Cruickshank, a grand little player. And the tie had me out of wretched six that Bobby took the seventy-second hole, where had been getting birdie threes and par fours in the preliminary play d the tourna- ament.

On the tricky seventh he declined to play safe, went for the dangerous green with a spoon, and got a stroke back, He squared ai the aloth and went ahead at the tenth, but at the seventeenth they were all even again There was heart-fallure in the sultry air, with a thunderstorm climbing up the western sky. | Cruickshank missed the fatal eighteenth, and Bobby's own shot, though a better one, wheeled off to the thin rough at the right, nearly 200 yards from the pin, with a lagoon In front of the gree Cruckshank played a great recov shot from a road, and his ball safely short of the lagoon. Now it was up to Jones to decide whether to play safe also and pitch and putt it out or go boldly for the green o the water, with certain ruin awaiting a missed shot or one that lacked perfection. I never saw the boy piny a whot with greater readiness or decixion. He took one look at the distant green, one look at the ball, and then he pulled a No. 1 fron and let fiy. He had elected to make the magnificent gamble—to play the champlonship on one shot! his_drive on As the ball went out on a ruled line, climbing slowly, I felt as if something in my breast was going to break. And when it dropped lightly on the green and ran just past the pin I guess something did break, be- cause I don’t remember anything more until I was sitting at one side of the green and Bobby was sitting at the other, looking very solemn but re- leved. Poor Cruickshank was playing his fourth out of a shallow trap. Stewart Malden, Boboy's teacher, was stand- ing back of his caddy, Luke Ross, wiien Bobby made that shot. Stewart was so excited that he banged his own straw hat down on Luke's head and busted it, and he doesn’t remember it, though Luke doex. 1 guess that was as big a thrill as Stewart ever got, too.

SPORTS MADISON, Wis, January 22— George Little, feld coach of the Uni- versity of Michigan foot ball team, has been named to succeed T. E. Jones as athletic director at the Uni- versity of Wisconsing He wlll as- sume his duties here in the Summer.

Meanwell, University of Wisconsin basket ball coach, was considered. In the clos- ing session the athletic council dead- locked and the problem was turned over to the regents. Little, 35_years old, was graduated frem Ohio Wesleyan in 1912, went to Ohlo State as assistant foot ball coach, and has been virtually head foot ball coach at Michigan for the past two vears. Organization of the | conching professional will be left to him and the athletic council when he takes charge.
