SPORTS. G. U. AND MARYLAND WILL FIGURE IN BIG CONTESTS Hilltoppers to Run Holy Cross While Old Liners Are in Relay Clash With Yale and Penn. Fordham Tossers Beat C. U. G other athletes entered—Plansky, Georgetown has appeared twice BY H. C. BYRD. EORGETOWN and Maryland are running in the two feature college relay races tonight in the New York Athletic Club track meet. The former is in a dual event with Holy Cross and the latter in a triangular affair with Yale and Pennsylvania. Georgetown also has three orton and Hass, in relay aces with Holy Cross, losing the first time and winning the second, and the fastest time for the mile during the entire season so far was turned in by the Hilltop team in the cvent it won. Gray should be brilliantly run. Maryland in going against Yale, and Pennsylvania has about as much cempetition in store for it as any school need desire. Pennsylvania, un- less it is faster than when it compet- ed In the Millrose games February 4, will not be able to beat the OI2 liners, but Yale is another proposi- tion. Yale undoubtedly has a fine team. It knows what Maryland has done in its previous races and if it did not figure that it could better the Liners’' time, probably would not have agreed to meet it in two events. Besldes the trlangular event in New York tonight, Maryland is slated to Jun a duel race with Yale in the Ilopkins meet as the feature event. Georgetown is to use the same four 1aen that have made up its team in yrevious races, McLain, Burgess, Bwinburne and Ascher. Maryland has made two changes in its quartet. Charley Pugh has re- placed Thomas as lead-off man, and Whiteford has taken Sheriff’s place in the second position. Matthews and I'ndslow will remain as the third and fourth runners. Catholic University wound up its home basket ball season last night by taking the short end of a 33-t0-27 score in a enappy and aggressive clash with Fordham. The heavier and rougher visitors wore down the locals, who were not up to their best form. The game was an even proposition , for 30 minutes of play, the invaders gaining their margin in the late stages. Yordham led, 13 to 1, at intermission, but the Brooklanders forged to the front by 19 to 18 about midway of the final half. Then the locals began to show the effects of the grueling ®oing, and points came easter for the New Yorkers. ‘White of the wvisitors, with 7 gosls from scrimmage, was the thorn ‘n C. U.s side. Foley, in addition to playing the leading ail-around role for the Brooklanders, got 11 points, reg- istering & times from the court. C. U. will wind up its campaign this week by playing three road games. The Brooklanders will meet Bucknell Thursday, Juniata Fri State Saturday. They should be the favorites in all of these contests. Georgetown’s tossers began sgame trip yesterday by bowing to Creecent A. C. in Brooklyn to the tune of 44 to 35. The Hilltoppers made a strong finish _but the 28-to-18 lead Fained by the Brooklynites in the first half was too much to overcome. Jo- hannes got 10 points for the Blue and Gray while Work and Vukmanic each registered 8. The Hilltoppers play Fordham in New York tonight and Pennsylvania Miltary College at Chester, Pa., to- morrow. The latter olash will end the jaunt and the season for George town. Maryland's basketers will be busy this afternoon and tomorrow at Col- lege Park in preparing for the South- ern Conference tourney that starts in Atlanta Friday, the Old Liners having canceled the game booked with Clem- son for tomorrow on the South Caro- inians’ court. Maryland will not eave for Dixie until Thursday. The 01d Liners have drawn the Mississippt Aggles, a strong_team, for their first tourney game Friday at 3 o'clock. The Aggles showed thelr class by Leatng Alabama vesterday, 35 to 21, & quint that ranked above them in the conference standing.

WHEN OFF NOT THIS When a player on defense ob- tains possession of the ball off the backboard he should remember that the opponent will attempt either to take the ball away from him or, failing in that, make it a held ball. Usually, such an opponent comes at him from the rear. The way to handle such a situ- ation is for the man with the ball to make a rapld feint to left or right to be followed by a quick turn tn the opposite direction in order to free himself from this opponent. - The effect of this move is {llustrated in the upper drawing. In the lower drawing the player with the ball merely made the one move—to the left. As can be seen a held ball will result. Don't give the opponent covering vou that even chance. Maintain possession of the ball by the double feint. REDS DEFEAT BLUES IN SOCCER CONTEST Picked teams from the Washing- ton Soccer League played the first of a meries of three games yesterday, with the eleven known as the Reds getting the decision over the Blues, 7 to 5. McLean of the Walford Club ac- counted for four of the goals scored by the winners. The contests are being played in order that league officlals may select an all-Washington team to represent the Capital in intercity matches. The eleven also may meet the all-star Ger- man club that is soon to make a tour of this section.

Games : Records Shattered in Several Sportst D. U, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1926. The ¢hem’g L BOYS CLUB Conducted by ROBERT C. McCLELLAN BY BROTHER GILBERT, Man Who Discovered Babe Rath. FELLOW who hits three A home-runs out of the park in one game is bound to make an impression. Had Babe Ruth gone hitless, or home-runless, that Sum- mer afternoon in 1913, while I was watching a game at St. Mary's School, in Baltimore, I might never have been his discoverer, for I was very busy that afternoon (or thought I was at the time) watching one Ike Rusie, a promising shortstop. Rusie was a great prospect, but I nearly forgot him in watching Babe Ruth hit the ball so hard. I was sit- ting in the bandstand on the school grounds when the game started, but I was soon down there on the bench to get closer to Ruth and study this big boy who hit so hard and who ran so_fast. His aggressiveness counted just as much. Ruth was what I call a “win- ning athlete.” You have seen boys fearful of going to bat; they had “two strikes on them' before they reached the plate. They're spineless—com- pounds of vanity and fear. They're vain because they are afraid of what the spectator will say if they fail. They are fearful because they have no confidence. Lastly, they are alibi artists, releasing a lot of static on the umpire when they fan. Positively Ruth was not that type. He wanted some one to be on base when he came up. When there were a couple of runners on the cushions he pleaded with the boys ahead of him to save him a turn at bat. With men on bases he couldn’t get to the plate quickly enongh. 1 id to myself, “This big fellow Members of Star Boys Club Have a Merry Time at Games N 1,000, attended the basket ball OTWITHSTANDING the threatening weather, an unexpected num- ber of members of The Evening Star Boys Club, probably close to games in the Arcade cage last night. The boys had a very enjoyable time, and the club takes this means of thanking the Palace Club for its hospitality. It was unfortunate that the boys| who sent in their pledges at the last minute did not receive their certif- icates and buttons in time to attend the contest, but it was impossible to have them prepared and malled, al- though a determined effort was made to do so. ‘Those boys, however, will be in line for the next club function. There are more coming and a warning is sent out to send in an application now, so as to avold any last-minute rush of the kind that occurred yesterday. A determined effort will be made by the present members to enroll as many of their friends as possible so as to be in on the next affalr. In the club column this week Broth- er Gilbert is telling the story of the discovery of Babe Ruth and the most phenomenal rise in the history of ath- letics. - The story reads like fiction and 1s being read, not only by mem- bers of the club, but by some of the older base ball fans. From pow on the members will get busy preparing for The Evening Star Boys Club athletic carntval, which promises to mark the beginning of a new era in boys' sports hereabouts. Although it is impossible to announce the program now, there is bound to be some of the short sprint races so popular with the younger boys, as well as other events In which boys usually compete.

PALACE FIVE KEEPS ON HEELS OF RIVAL| ‘Washington's entry in the Ameri- can Basket Ball League kept close on the heels of the Cleveland five and paved the way for a hot argument next Sunday, when the leaders come hers, by chalking up an easy win last night at the Arcade at the expense of the Chicago quint. The District tossers were never pressed to get a 38-to-20 decision over the Windy City quint, which sank lower into last place. Washington had piled up a 22-to-8 lead when the halfway mark was reached and was able to loaf through the last sessions. Every member of the Palace squad, with the exception of Rusty Saunders, who is on the sick list, had a hand in the scoring. Georgle Glascoe led the team, with a total of 11 counters.

In the American Legion games at Boston yesterday De Hart Hubbard, Cincinnati negro athlete, sprinted 65 yards in 6 4-5 seconds, erasing the mark of 7 seconds first set by Lawson Robertson, now coach at Pennsylvania, in 1908, and equaled later by Howard Drew and Loren Murchison. Willie Ritola shattered the 5,000-yard record in the Coast Artillery Corps games in Brooklyn, negotiating the distance in 13 minutes 32 seconds, or 7 seconds faster than the figures he set {n St. Paul a year ago. Alan Helft- rich, former Penn State star, covered 600 meters in 1 minute 22 2-5 seconds, bettering the mark of 1:24 made last week by Vincent Lally of Brooklyn. Ethel Lackie of Chicago, competing in the American A. A. U. swimming championships in Florida, established a mnew 50-yard freestyle mark of| 0:27 2-5. The old record of 0:2 held by Eleanor Garatti.
