The Tarheels will invade the strong. hold of the Old Liners fresh from con- quests on successive nights over Vir ginia, Virginia Poly and Virginia Military Institute by decisive counts. The Carolinians have I but one game this season, bowing to Wake Forest.

St. Bonaventure basketers, coached by Jack Flavin, former Georgetown ath- letic star, will invade the H street sym for a crack at George Washing- ton, and Virginia Medical College will be here as the guest of American Uni- wversity. Coach Teddy Hughes is beginning to think seriously about base ball at Gallaudet. Practice will be started by the Kendall Greeners in a couple of weeks. With a number of veterans at hand, Gallaudet probably will have a. fast nine. Track also i coming_in for a deal of atfention at the Florida avenue school. A high spot of the Kendall Greeners’ schedule that has not been completed will, it is expected, be a quadrangular meet, in which George- Washington, Catholic University and johns Hopkins also will figure, to be held, according to present plans, on May “1.

C, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1927. - Maryland-North Carolina Basket Ball Game and Boxing at C. U. Carded Tonight Wright’s Reverse Fools Opponents BASKET BALL— BY SOL METZGER. No wonder Purdue is recognized as a strong offensive five when its players can do stunts like the fol- lowing: Capt. Wright will break k from his guard (when the at- tack is advancing, instead of work. ing forward, as his guard expects), at full speed, catch a pass from a teammate working up the floor, and as his opponent rushes in to bat down the ball, Wright will execute a reverse pivot away from this man and go dribbling forward toward the basket. He thus gains a lead of several strides on this opponent. That’s great basket ball, a very clever way of getting your defen- sive man back of you, where he can do little harm, instead of in front of vou, where he is in a pesition to check the attack Wright makes his reverse turn like a soldier executes the ‘com- mand, “To the rear, march!” Only lie does it when at top speed by slapping his forward foot to the floor, pushing off on that and piv- oting on his rear foot. There is no more clever stunt in the game. LEADING MICHIGAN FIVE TAKING REST ¥ the Associated Press.

SPORTS. | a7 PALACE PROS ENGAGE FORT WAYNE TONIGHT Washington’s professional basket ball aggregation will meet the Fort Wayne Caseys tonight at the Arcadia and then start the longest layoff from American Basket Ball League compe- tition of the current season, not hav- ing a regular league game scheduled until February 19 when the Rosen- blums will be met in Cleveland. Palace cagemen maintained their hold on first place at the Arcadia last i nosing out Garry Schmeelk’s ‘ago Bruins, 26 to 24, by a desper- lly in the closing moments. TUnless the Palace outfit performs more up to its standard tbnight against Fort Wayne, the local floor- men are in for a lively evening, for the Caseys from Indiana have re- vamped their team and are billed as one of the strongest of the profes- sional loop. A Fort Wayne victory will tie them with Washington for first place. Schmeelk’s outfit held the Pal tossers even in the first half I night, the count standing at 10 all. Then ‘Sankovic tossed in a couple from the floor, Mahoney rang up a pair of free tisses and Palace soon was on the short end of a 16-to-11 count. With Kennedy, Saunders and Voss playing rings around the Bruins later to knot the score at 22 all, Palace got back in the game. Then Mahoney for icago shot one in from the side court, only to have Saunders again tie with a back hand shot which found the hoop. Saunders tossed in the win- ning two pointer after George Gl had missed a tr Lou Sugarman, former Washington and Baltimore player, refereed the game, and kept the piayers on their toes. Washington has now won three straight games in the second half of the league race. PENN FIVE CAN GAIN LEAGUE LEAD ALONE By the Associated Pres NEW YORK, February 7.—Two games in the Eastern Intercollegiate Basket Ball League this week offer Pennsylvania an opportunity to gain undisputed possession of the top of the circuit, while Princeton and Dart- mouth continue to wrestle with mid- year examinations. The three teams now are locked in a tie for first place, each with three victories and a single loss. Columbia, champion last year, fig- ures in both contests this week. It meets Cornell at Ithaca Wednesday and tackles Pennsylvania here Satur- day. A double win for Columbia, now in fourth place, will bring about a tie with Pennsylvania for second place, while one victery will carry Penn to the head of the procession. Johnny Gartner, Princeton forward, and Simmen, Yale center, lead the in- dividual scorers with 34 and 33 points, respectively. OFFICERS ARE ELECTED BY THE MOHAWK CLUB Members of the Mohawk A. C. yes- terday elected Rob Roy Mackey presi- dent of the organization at a meet- ing at the club's quarters.

It i better to keep your eyes on the ball until the ball is in your hands and then you can locate the bisket. You have a general idea | where the basket is, anyhow. The | longer you play this game the more | unnecessary you will find it to g hunt- ing for the basket, for you will soon know where it is at all times. Ca the ball, locate the basket, jump and then shoot " ERE Dl ig Ruby, great coach of the ty of Illinois, says of the cen “Many centers, tall and ideally built for the job and able to leap high in the air, lose all thelr advantage by letting the ball come down too far, tipping it about midway. It should be tipped from the lower quarter. This gives you two or three inches ad- vantage. Leap as high as you can, stretch your arm as far as it will go and tip the ball before it comes down too far. That is the way to play cen- ter.” |are in the air Earnest 1. Bearg, University of Ne- A, says 'he player who shoots with his hands and ‘doesn't jump toward the basket is playing it wrong. By jump- ing and extending the arms you guide the ball to the basket to the last inch.

YANKS, WARWICKS LOOM STRONG IN Washington Yankees and Warwick Collegians loom as formidable r the Anacostia Eagles for Distri limited basket ball honors today. While the hitherto undefeated Stan- tons went down in defeat before the Warwicks in a 29-to-26 game, the Yan- kees yesterday scored a brilliant 40-to- 25 victory over the strong Air Squad- ron five from Quantico. Meanwhile the Eagles proceeded se- renely on their w to another inde- pendent championship, trouncing the Roamer quint with ease, 39 to 8. Epiphany Roses and Calvarys play one of the important games in the Washington Basket Ball League to- night. The clash that may bring about a tie for first place will occur at the Arcadia as a preliminary to the pro- fessional contest. Epiphany Roses dropped a game to the Clovers two weeks ago, dropping into fourth place in the league standing. Calvarys have not yet lost a game. A victory for Roses would tie them for first blace, while a Calvary victory would widen the gap between them and Arrows and Clovers, now deadlocked in second place. Both Roses and Clovers won games yesterday, the Roses annexing an 18- to-16 contest from the American Rail- way Expressmen, while Clovers scored over Boys’ Club Celtics, 24 to 12.
