On Sunday afternoons in Abo every achoolboy could be found perched upon some vantage point in or near the ath- letic field each studying the form of some favorite as he scampered or eaped to victory. Throughout the week the journeys to and from the Abo grammar schools were mot made with lagging feet. The little Villes, Hannes, Jonnis and Marttis no sooner potted one another en route than a challenge was flung and a wild race was under way. In these impromptu races there was | one youngster who outfooted every | rival. With the speed of a whippet he wolld dash from the starting mark; n a dozen strides he would be out In front, and he would dance up the school house steps yards ahead of his {val or rivals and apparently unfa- igued by his effort. The same result would come when those rivals de- manded a “head start” And the Villes, Hannes, Jonnis and Marttis, acknowleding his superiority and im- presged with the speed of his stringy egs, urged him to compete against the slder athletes in the Sunday programs Abo Urheiluititto There was a condescending smile, hut & very positive shaking of the head when this 10-year-old summoned sufficient courage to ask the athletic | offctals if he might race with the older runner | “No,” they replied, “little boys like veu would get in the way and you ght get hurt.

It was the first to find the basket from the foul line Out of 14 attempts from the 15-foot mark only two points were scored. Had the Old Line aggregation been able to break even in their foul shoot- ing what was rather a colorléss de- feat might have been turned into a brilliant victory . During the greater part of the game Maryland had two small men plaving the forward positions and rebound shots were noticeable by their absence. The Carolinians took care that Supplee, the only §-footer inethe Maryland line up, did not get much chalico at the ball, and their rangy players simply grabbed the sphere over the heads of the other Maryland men. Even without scoring from the foul |line and with hardly a chance for a rebound shot during the games Mary- land still put up a good fight. North | Carolina took the lead in the first few minutes, but Maryland gradually gained until the end of the hal found the score standing 12 to 19 In favor of the Tarheels. Shortly after the second half started Stevens threw a goal from the floor nd tied’the count. How- ever, Maryland could not keep going and the Carolina five managed to get ahead again and to hold its margin. 1t was Cobb's brilliant shooting G 2 of Philadelphia, 22 to 16, in score stood 10 to 6, and from then in serious danger. Sheehan and Cunneff were the only Josephites able to break through the defense offered by Gitlitz and Brogan for successful shots at the baskets. Sweeney led the attack for the Georgetowners, time and again going through the opposing guards for double counters and contributing from_the foul line as well. Brogan, Farley and McNaney also shared in the scoring, the latter caging a pair from the floor during the first half before he was rembaced by Farley. Georgetown took the offense as soon s Tteferee Jim Colliflower's whistle ad blown for the opening of the game and McNaney and Sweeney had each scored a pair of court goals be- fore Oakes of the visitors dropped in St. Joscph's first counter from beyond the 15-foot mark. Sweeney added another to Georgetown's count, while Collins and Cunneff scored on foul tries and Sheehan contributed a basket from the floor, bringing the count to 10 to § at intermission. JFarley went in for McNaney at the opening of the second half and im- mediately made the score 12 to 6. St. Joseph's chances were lengthened when Cuneff caged a trio from the floor in rapid succession after Sweeney and Brogan had added 6 more points to Georgetown's total and Sheehan, with.a court goal and a free toss, had brought the visitors' close, but Sweeney was fouled as. he dropped the ball through the hoop and made good on both sides.

FIVE DEFEATED TO NORTH CAROLINA, 21-16| BY DUQUESNE, 33-19 ; Catholic University plaved the pow- erful Duquesne five from Pittsburgh to a standstill In the first half of the game in the Brookland Gymnasium last night, but gave way under the fast pace in the last 20 minutes of the engagement and was beaten by a 33-to-19 count. The Brooklanders fought the Penn- sylvanians tooth and nail during the opening portion of the struggle, and when the whistle blew for intermis- sion the home tossers were leading, 10 to 9. However, O'Donovan, the visitors’ brilliant left forward, went on & scor- ing spree in the second half, and led an attack that soon had the Brook- landers trailing by an almost hope- less margin. He got six baskets from the field, five of them coming in the last half of the clash Garvin was the only Brookland tosser who had his shooting eye working last night. His threo goals from the field and as many true shots from the foul line netted practically half of the C. U. points. The invaders presented a team that was _heavier, faster and more ex- perienced than the Brooklanders, and C. U. did well to make such a cred- itable showing in the first half of the battle.

North Carolina Setting Pace. BY H.C. BYRD. EVELOPMENTS of intramural athletics—a system of play i whic all students will get an opportunity to take part—is the general plan of all colleges and universities in the Southern Conference in the building up of their departments of athletics and physical educa tion. It is doubtiul if the development of interco giate sports greater subject of discussion, and it is questionable if plans for inter collegiate sports are being any more than those being formulated for intramural games The main aim, of course, for the attention to intramural sports the desire to establish something that will give all the students oppor- tunities to acquire the same benefits that accrue to the comparatively few athletes who take part in the intercollegiate games. The value to the intercollegiate sports contestant alwayvs has been well recognized by everybody, and the problem on which those interested athletics in the South now are workjng is to effect a plan from which these same benefits may be derived by all other students This really is of the funda-|United States Department of Educa mental problems of education, becaus: | tion and proba is more familiar it is realized that of the most|with what is being done throughout an be taught | t other man.

That the University of North Caro- lina is not satisfled with its present situation, notwithstanding it is lead- ing in the work, is shown by the fact that R. A.
