OMING from behind to beat the Senfors by one point in the final game of the University of Maryland basket ball series, the Sophomores completed an undefeated scason to claim the title last night at College Park. They scored over the Senlors, 19 to 18. The cham- pionship was won by them last year as s defeated the Freshmen, 7 to 2,'in a preliminary game, § the latter the right to second position in the serics. Senlors finished third and the Freshmen fourth. Catherine Barnsley scored 13 points for the Sophs in the major tilt, while Mildred Wimer registered a like num- ber for the Seniors. The latter held a one-point lead at half time and held their pace so well in the last half that at no time did the winners gain a de- cisive edge.
