T THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €., JANUARY 13, 1929—SPORTS SECTION® - College and School Basket Ball Teams of Washington Area Active This Week HOYAAND OLDLINE FIVES IN BIG TILTS Penn State Visits G. U. and Maryland Entertains Its 0Id Rival, Hopkins. EORGETOWN and Penn State will furnish the leading bas- . ket ball game here this week, though it is entirely possible that Maryland's meeting with Hopkins may draw the biggest crowd. Georgetown has an exceptionally strong quint and Penn State often is out in| front with a good enough five to give | any other college a real battle. These two factors usually develop a fine con- test. Maryland and Hopkins have been rivals for so many years, though, that big crowds turn out whenever they meet, no matter what kind of teams they have and no matter how much better one may seem than the other. Maryland is the first varsity team to get under way this week, having a game scheduled with Virginia at Charlottes- ville Tuesday night. Neither Maryland nor Virginia lays any particular claim to brilllance by reason of what it has already accomplished this season, as both have been whipped by a small col- lege team. It may be, though, that both will find themselves and play better basket ball. Two games are scheduled here Wed- nesday night, Loyola being booked for a meeting with Catholic University and American University to face George | Washington. Unless Catholic Univer- sity takes a decided brace, it is likely that it will take a trimming, while the game between George Washington and American University seems to be some- thing of a toss-up. Six Games at End of Week. No game is listed Thursday night, but Friday and Saturday nights will see the playing of six, four of them on Fri- | day. Villanova appears at Catholic University Friday night, Shepherd Col- lege at Gallaudet, and on the same evening Penn State plays at George- town and Hopkins at Maryland. All the games begin at 8 o'clock. The best of these contests is likely to be that between Penn State and Georgetown, while the most spirited and animated setto proably will be that between ‘Hopkins and Maryland. Saturday night Baltimore University comes here to play George Washington, while Gallaudet goes to Annapolis for a meeting with St. John’s. Several hundred tickets were request- ed of the Maryland management yes- terday for the game at College Park Friday night, and it is likely that about 90 per cent of the Hopkins student body will be on hand to watch what they are regarding now as an almost cel victory. For the first time in many years, two colleges in the South Atlantic section are this time of the year without men to coach their foot ball teams. Neither ‘Washington and Lee or Virginia knows ‘what it is going to do in the way of handling its 1929 squad, although there is the possibility that Virginia may have Neale back for at least a part of the season. It is reported that Neale may return to Virginia the second week in Octo- ber, but it is not llkzl{ut;hlt Virginia ‘will depend on that unl some other man“to work in absolute unison with Neale can be found. - A foot ball team is made between the first of Septem- ber and the second week in October. and Neale could do little more than put on touches and carry on the work begun by whoever might be in charge of the squad during the mentioned Washington and Lee has not made & gelection yet, or at least has not made any announcement of what it intends to do. In fact, no word has come from Le: n as to who is being con- sidered for the job and . probably none will until the mmetol the man finally icked is given out. . Men who handle the squads at Wash- ington and Lee and Virginia next Fall, “will_have good opportunities, because each college will have back from its 1928 teams some excellent material. Virginia especially is likely to be a place where some man may drop in and make something of an astonishing rec- ord. In all probability, Virginia next Fall will have on the field about the best material that has worn its colors in years. Washington and Lee, while it may not have quite as big and heavy a squad as Virginia, 1s sure to be represented by a versatile and capabie group of performers. In thinki of Washington and Lee foot +ball (};I.:r: is recalled a decision made in the Washingtgon and Lee- Maryland game at Griffith Stadium last Fall, an explanation of which is likgly to be interesting to many. ‘Wash- i and Lee, after one of its punts, was penalized 15 yards from the spot where Kessler, who was set to catch the punt, was tackled. Kessler in trying to catch the punt half raised his right arm, which seemed to be a rather faint and ineffectual :sd for a fair catch. It was for ling a man signaling for a fair cateh that most of the spectators thought the penalty had been inflicted, and there were many who thought the faif catch signal had not been distinct engugh to warrant a penalty. a a matter of fact, the penalty was not inflicted because of tackling after a fair catch. What actually hap- pened was that the Washington and vLee end, in setting himself to tackle Kessler, got in the way of his own punt, and the ball in dropping toward Kessler's arms struck the Washington and Lee man on the head and bounded far to one side. That, under the rules, constituted “interference with an op- rtunity to make a fair catch,” and me penalty of 15 yards was inflicted for that, and not for any interference with an actual attempt to make a fair catch. Under the rules a man catching a punt has his opportunity to make a fair catch protected by the same penalty &S his status in actually making a fair catech. It was Capt. Fitzpatrick of Washington and Lee on whom the pen- alty was called, and when he asked his | coach between halves about the penalty he was told that the officials were cor- rect in the matter, and that neither he nor the team had any reason even for_an argument. Pitzpatrick told Referee Magoffin piter the game that he h-d asked about the penalty between halves and that he was sorry he had ever questioned the ruling. This question of a ruling brings up the question of methods of getting to bpectators information as to just what penalties are inflicted for. Many times coaches on the bench in close touch with every phase of play do not know Wwhy penalties arer being given, and if that is the case it is not likely the verage spectators is going to be cer- ain of more than half of them. It would seem to be good business for the colleges to devise ways on their scoreboards of announcing the reason for penalties. This could easily be taken care of by inserting in pro- grams a list of penalties and what they | are for, numbering each separate pen- lty, and then hanging on the score- Eo-xc the number which corresponds to the number of the penalty inflicted. oyl TRACK TO BE AUCTIONED.
