SPORTS. BROOKLAND QUINT PICKED TO WIN FOR SECOND TIME Methodists, Though, Will Have Their Full Strength on Floor and Are Hopeful—Maryland Ends Regular Schedule With Victory. ITH all their regulars in shape for the first time since the game with Gal- laudet, Coach G. Baillie Springston’s American Uni- " tossers tonight will face Fred s Catholic University five for the second time this season. Play will start in the American University Gym ut 8 o'clock. While the Cardinals are favored in most quarters to repeat their early season triumph over the AMethodists they will face a fighting team tonight that is expeeted to offer the stoutest kind of opposition. 1t was the Brookland flve that sev- eral weeks ago humbled American for the first time in nine starts, and the Methodists are still smarting under that 34-to-22 defeat. Coach Springston’s line-up tonight at the start will comprise Schloss and Sawyer, forwards; Blirthright. center, and Banta and Kessler, guards. Most of these men have been on the in- Jured list recently, and as a result American has proved not nearly so formidable as in lier season matches. Mount St. Mary’s basketers of Em- nitsburg, Md., will- appear tomorrow night against Catholic University in the big Brookland gym. The game was originally set for Saturday, but moved ahead in order not to conflict with the boxing card between the Car- dinals and the Navy on Saturday at Annapolis. uk versi .

M. I tiit that was to be played today. Last night Maryland wound up its regular schedule in a satisfactory man- the ‘estern 32 to 25. The Old vantage was 15-6. The Old Liners seemed unable to get going and were decidedly off color in shooting. Toward the end of the half, however, the home five rallied splendidly and fought their way to within three points of the visit- ors at 16-13 at the half. A spectacular pot shot by Dean and a neat 2-pointei by Adams, who dribbled in to make the heave, were high spots of this spurt. Maryland started right in where it left off as the second half began, and, after Adams had located the cords on an overhead thrust, ‘Boyd slipped a smart one through from around mid- court that put the ‘Old Liners ahead, where they stayed the remainder of the game. The up-Staters twice bat- tled to within one point of Maryland, however, and, with the game dying, had the count 25-26 as the result of a couple of foul tosses by Van Buren. Dean, however, got off another of his well known rainbow- tosses, and Adams followed with a pair of floor goals to assure the Old Liners’ victory. It was Maryland's final game on its regular schedule, and represented the College Parkers' tenth victory, against nine defeats, An elimination boxing tournament is planned at Georgetown next month to uncover material for next season’s team. While the Hilltop glovemen have completed their two-matchisched- ule arranged for this canmaign, their first in the ring game, they are still working hard in Ryan gymnasium to keep in shape for possible competi- ticn in the - intercollegigte boxing tournament to be held at Syracuse University on March 25. Efforts are being made to have the Hilltoppers in- vited to take part in the event. e THREE QUINTS TIED FOR TOP IN BIG TEN By the Associated Press.

C., WOMEN IN SPORT BY CORINNE FRAZIER N the crucial game of the Eastern High School interclass bagket ball geries, Senior passers nosed out the 1926 championship Sophomore squad, 32 to 81, yesterday after- noon. : Fast team play and accurate goal shooting on the part of both sex- tets featured the match. Sophs were in the lead-in the open- ing quarter, but the Seniors soon over- took them and for the rest of the geme the score see-sawed. Seniors led by two points at half time, but in the. fourth quarter the Sophomores climbed to the front agaln and only Zemma Hawkins' timely shot during the last minute of play gave the Seniors the decision. Miss Hawkins and Marion Gardner occupied the Senlor forward fleld. Beryle Edminston played center with Teresa Breen at side center. Mary Kelso and Regina Thompson put up a strong defense in guard positions.

Senior and Junior first team bas- keters scored in the double-header staged at Western High School yes- terday. The Junior clash with the Freshmen was one of the most spec- tacular games of .the series. While the ‘Frosh were unable to gain the edge on the match at any time, they pressed so close to the upper class- men’s heels that excitement was kept at a high pitch. Juniors won by a 23-to-14 count, Estelle Easternson and Alathea Lawton being on the scoring end of a smooth-working machine, in- cluding Sallie Abell at center; Jane Mapes, side center; Patricia Joyce and Marian Thomas, guard: Catherine Crane, Freshman center, distinguished - herself by her clever interception of passes and keen head- work. - Betty Shipp scored 10 points for the Freshmen and Betty Hart- man four. Julia Houghton backed up Miss Crane at side center, with Rosalie Dunbar and Isabel Park making it difficult for the juniors to score under the basket. n Seniors romped on the Sophomore, 35 to 7, in the second game at W ern. FElizabeth Conway and Marie O'Daniel got loose to score practi- cally at will during the last half of the game. Mary Gilbert and June Robinson proved too fast at center for their opponents. Helen English and Lillian Lindquist checked the Soph scorers. Virginia Tolson, Eleanor Herzog, Ruth Doyle, Katherine Hillyer, Marion Balley, - Usidora Dodge and Judith Fishburn composed the sophomore squad. Misgs Tolson and Miss Herzog divided scoring honor: A’ ladder " tournament will be fea- tured this season by members of the District Women’s Tennis League as & preliminary event to the annual Spring round robin tourney, according to.a plan outlined last night at the annual meeting of the organization. All players in the league will be placed on the ladder, their relative po- sitions being as ‘nearly ‘as_pos- sible upon past performance. KEach racketer will be privileged to chal- lenge the one above in order to im- prove her position. Matches can be played on concrete courts at any time convenient to the players. The ladder will be published in’the papers and copies supplled the members in the near future in order that the challenge matches can get under way without delay, according to Ruth Curran the new secretary. On April 15, teams will be picked preparatory to the round robin event, slated to begin the third week in April. As nearly as possible, players will be allowed “to retain aflliations with teams they have played upon in the past, but in the case of No. 1 players, they will be placed by the tournament committee. The elght racketers hold- ing top positions on the ladder at the time that teams are organized, will be placed in the No. 1 positions of the eight teams respectively. This ar- rangement was decided upon to insure cach team of having a ranking player at its head in order that team play will be made as even as possible. Marion King, who has been a mem- ber of the league for several years, offered a challenge cup to be presented the wiuning team in the round robin serfes. Miss King's offer was formally accepted at last night’s meeting, Florence Poston was elected chair- man of the tournament committee with Frances Krucoff as vice chair- man. Ruth Curran will serve as secre- tary-treasurer. It was decided to ask sanction for May 28 as the opening date for the elimination tournament which con- cludes the league seas This date was requested by the league last year, but the first week in June was as- sigried by the Middle Atlantic Lawn Tennis Association. The June date is reserved by the league as second choice. Senior swimmers of the Capitol Ath- letic Club triumphed over the Juniors, 24 to0 19, in a handicap meet staged at the Y. W. C.

Joe Croson and Tommy David also played sturdily for Strayer's. It was a great fight from the opening whistle. Both teams exhibited brick-wall defenses, and shooting was from long range. It was Hutchinson’s ability to find the cords from the floor and Barkalow's hifty sniping from the féul line that enabled Devitt to gain a slight edge at the half, 15 to 14.
