Except for the first 10 minutes, when Maryland held a good edge, the game was flercely contested. With the score % to 1 in Maryland's favor, a Virginia man was fouled as he dropped in a basket from scrimmage and was awarded two foul shots, on both of which he made good. A couple more Virginia court goals enabled the Cavileers to tie the score at 9 points. Maryland held a 11-9 edge at the half. With six minutes to go, Virginia managed to fight its way to a 25-19. But the Old Liners were not to be denfed and battling desperately managed to even the count just be- fore the gun barked for the half.

Taking a page from foot ball, Dr. Walter Meanwell. Wisconsin's great basket ball mentor, has added a bis of the “hidden-ball” stuff to his at- tack this year that is proving most effective, It takes long practice to perfect the play. A dribbler comes up the floor, followed by a team- mate. When an opponent rushes in to break up the dribble, the dribbler shoots the ball back to his teammate following, using the hand he is dribbling with (Fig. 2), and then blocks off the opponent, while his teammate continues the ad- vance. Meanwell, in his long sway as coach at Wisconsin and Missouri, has probably contributed more to the advancement of the science of the game than any other coach. The short passing game, the five- man defense and the defensive tip- off formations are other contribu- tions by this famous coach. (Covyright. 1927.)

CHICAGO, F¥ebruary 16.—Suit for $1,600 against Chris O'Brien, owner and manager of the Chicago Cardinals, has been brought by Earl Evans, tackle on the professional foot ball team. He alleges that he was promised $100 for each of as many games as played during 1925 by the rival Bears, and that the bears actually engaged in 16 more contests than did the Car- dinals. O’Brien denies liability, because the games, in which Red Grange made his pro debut, were played in a post- season tour. | not in the stands. as the result of | Meehan Iv‘lfl:m Guenther Chicaz a s | Mu o his | Mux mby.

BERLIN, February 16.—Deprived by the war of a chance to stage the Olympic games, Germany is going to make a strong bid for the 1936 games. The German Olympic committee has voted to authorize President Dr. Otto Lewald to present the invitation to the international Olympic commit- tee with the assurance that the coun- try's financial position and the re- vival of enthusiasm for sports guar- antee first-class competitions. Italy is regarded as the most dangerous rival for the honor. Berlin is well equipped to stage the Olympics. It has a concrete stadium with a 100-meter swimming pool, sponsored by Emperor Willlam 1 but completed after his dethronement. The stadium seats 35000, but was built with a view toward enlargement to hold three times that number. A public appeal for funds to send athletes to the 1928 games at Amster- dam will be started soon. The Reich. stag finance committee has promised to appropriate 150,000 marks this year and 300,000 marks next vear to help defray expenses, but it estimated that twice that sum will be needed.

Joyce Wethered is living up to her reputation as one of the best woman golfers in the world. She has been playing in England recently, and men who have opposed her express astonishment at -the length and straightness of her drives. One man at the end of a round re- marked, “Miss Wethered should not be allowed to play, she is too good." Roger Wethered, although he has not been practicing, won the “Presi. dent’s Putter,” historic trophy of the Oxford and Cambridge Society. This indicated to observers that the former amateur champion is still a factor in the British game. “FARMER” BURNS IS 66. 9¥AHA‘ Nebr,, February 16 (#). —*Feeling as fit as ever,” and cer- tain that he could give many of today's young wrestling aspirants some good lessons, “Farmer” Burns, dean of American wrestlers, ol served his sixty-sixth birthday anni- versary yesterday A D.

One of the good points about the goll swing for all learning golfers to s the difference between hit- straight forward and hitting round to the left. The golfer who tries to hit the ball with a_body lunge invariably swings his body around to the leff. He is s to hit the ball hard that ; stiffen, and therefore he has t action at all in the swing. The body then pushes forward too ahead of the club and he gets a hoo If by chance he does get some cut across the ball and he gets his slice. ¥ So far as the golfer is concerned, there is no round and round action with the body in the golf swing. The onlooker may have the impression that the body first turns around to the right and then, as the ball is hit.

According to Mrs. Virginia Woodin, coach, the plavers were so evenly matched in their performance in the preliminary series that it was diff- cult to decide upon regulars and al- ternates, especially in the center field, where Mary Pruitt and Julia Fick ran a close race for the position of side center, and probably will be used equally in the serles. Mrs. Woodin reports that her play- ers exhibited good teamwork in thelr preliminary work-out this week, and are looking forward with keen in- terest to their forthcoming encounter with the Juniors, which will open the title. series next Monday.

Princess tossers rushed their oppo- nents off their feet to score twice shortly after action was called, but once the Maroon and Gray found their stride, the battle was nip and tuck. At the quarter the score was tied, 9-9, and at half time it was knotted again, 14-14. The effort te break the tie resulted in considerable roughness in the third period which closed with Princess leading, 22 to 19. A fourth period rally brought the Washingtonlans four additional tal- lies, but with Betty Garber, their stellar forward, off-form, they were unable to overcome the victor’s lead. Edith Mahon and Annabel Totten divided scoring honors for the victors. Elizabeth Garber collected 16 points for Washington A. C. and Gertrude Boger accounted for the other 7.

This will to be made by the Western diamond athletes.

As soon as the weather per- mits Moore plans to work the boys at the Georgetown University track. Among the more prominent members of the squad are, Lester Buckley. hurdler, who won points last season; Minter Dial and Charles Gilbert, half- milers and Robert Zimmerman, quar- ter miler. A doughty performer, Winton El- lott, high jumper and broad jumper, has been lost by graduation. Coach Moore says that in addition to being represented in the interhigh, C.
