The game today was not originally scheduled. but was listed in order to give North Carolina an eighth contest with a Southern Conference | school. It is necessary to play eight Conference games in order to be elig- ible to take part in the annual cham- | pionship tournament at Atlanta. Last night's game between North Carolina affair. No better’ contest has been staged here in a long while, with the | possibie exception of the game in which Catholic University defeated Fordham last week. North Carolina Jumped into the lead at the beginning and within five minutes had Mary- | Jand on the shoit end of an §-to-0 score, but it was not long before the Old Liners began to pull up and when | the half ended the score was 18-to-16 in_their favor. | Probably no first half of a basket | bdll game in this section in years has | heen more fiercely contested than that | between the Tar Heels and Old Liners, | The play was about as fast as it could be and there was no letup at any time. Both teams went after the game as if their very existence-de- pended on the'result. Both played fine basket ball and both demonstrated | that they stand out among the best | of Southern quints. With North Carolina playing a wide-open offerise, banking mainly on | it8 ability to shoot from any place and | to pass well, Dean, the midget Mary- land guard, was given an opportunity to show his wares in great style, and he did. If any guard at Maryland every played a more intelligent game than Dean did last night and if any guard ever contributed more in a| mechanical way to a basket ball vie- | tory than the former Central High | voungster, then those performances are not within the memory of the old est inhabitants of College Park. The second half of the game saw some great defensive play on the part of the Marylanders. For fully 15 minutes they rheld North Carolina without a goal from the floor, and | the brilliant Vanstory, who had done some very accurate shooting in the first half, was not able to get clear | at any time. | Yesterday one of the writer’s friends interested in boxing at Catholic Uni- wversity said to another of the writer’s | friends connected with boxing at| Washington and Lee, “Why don't you get after ‘Curley’ and stop him from lina | eorgetown track and field i to compete in New York Friday night | He will run in the Knights of St. An | thony games in the “Suburban Quar | ter,” one of the feature events H . | | WILL SWIM SATURDAY.

Famous Olympic Team Boxing Coach HE other day I was jogging down the road behind a dozen boys, all in sweaters and run- ning pants. A friend passed me and looked on in surprise. Later, on seeing me, asked if I had quit boxing and was training run- 1 wasn't training runners 1 know little about running excepting that it is a very necessary part of the training program for boxing. And I know 1 like it myself, too, even if T am past the school stage. A fellow who makes good in box- ing must have plenty of road work— | cross-country running and hiking— for a foundation. There is no better sport for your health’s sake than cross-country - running and hiking. The fresh air alone s recompense for the effort. No hard running s advised. Just strike out with a few of your chum: {Jog along at an eas gait. \\'i\lk now and then. Stay together. If vou have a lot of wind and energ near the finish sprint in the last 50 yards. Don’'t run hard at any other stage of the stunt. At.the finish go at once to the shower, if one is available. After the shower take a brisk rubdown. Then get nto warm clothes again and be ready for the outdoors. To loat around outdoors after a run means a bad cold in many instances. All_of this strengthens the legs and the wind and keeps your welght where it _belongs. | STROMBERG CARBURETOR | CREEL BROS. | Distributors and Official Service Three of these runs a week is about right.
