SPORTS. 33 Generals Have Basket-Scoring Machine : Connecticut Women Out ¢” Pin Meet TOSSERS AVERAGE 4TPONTS A GAME Washington and Lee Quintet, | Tourney Favorite, Alsc Has Good Defense. ‘Washington and Lee's quintet, favorite to win the Southern Conference basket ball tournament in Atlanta, boasts a record that leads all the rest. The Gen- crals have played 16 games and have lost just one of them, and that by a single point margin. Within the con- ference they have gained eight vic- tories and have sustained but one de- feat. In their 16 games these lads from Lexington have scored a total of 755 points, or an average of 47 to the game, That'’s better than a point a minute. ‘Within the Southern Conference ranks the Generals have twice defeated Mary- land and Virginia and have taken the measure of V. P. I. three times. Georgia also was defeated. Lose by One Point. The one game lost was to Kentucky, in the Blue Grass State, by a one-point margin, 31 to 30.In games outside the conference ranks the Generals have won from Hampden-Sidney, Bridge- water, Randolph-Macon, Willlam and Mary, West Virginia, Davidson and Marshall. As if heavy scoring was not enough to win games, these Washington and Lee boys have played with a tight de- fense and have held their court rivals 10 an average of 24 points. West Vir- ginia managed to score 37 points against them, but the only other teams that have broken the 30 mark have been Kentucky, Virginia and Marshall. Cox, a sophomore who is playing his first season with this Blue and White team, has led the squad in scoring. In the last game of the regular season, against Virginia, on Tuesday night, he shot the final basket to bring his total for the year up to 201. Williams, the six-foot-three-inch center, has scored 188 points and Capt. Lowry, 176. Will “Carry” 10 Men. The W. and L. squad to invgfle At- lanta will include the five regula Capt. Lowry and Cox, forwards; %Allhm, center, and Wood and Hanna, juards. There will be five substitute taken along, Jacobs and Lowden, fuawards; Groop and Pilly, guards, and another Williams as a second-string center. Capt. Lowry is the only one of the regulars who will not be eligible for next season. Cox, Williams and Hanna and Jacobs of the substitutes are play- ing their first year, while Wood is on, the team his second season. And as the W. and L. Freshman team has lost only two games, both to Virginia, there is little to fear for a season or so. Washington and Lee goes to Atlanta with the good wishes of the entire Old Dominion. Its last game was on the Virginia floor, and the supporters of their bitterest athletic rivals let it be seen clearly that they want this Lex- ington team to win the Southern cham- plonship, Washington and Lee's record: ‘Washington and Lee, 45; Hampden- Sidney, 26.

Two basket ball games, which will end the season for colleges of the Dis- trict group, also are carded tomorrow night. American University and Cath- olic University quints are to meet in the former’s gym and Gallaudet's five will engage Shepherd College at Shep- herdstown, W. Va. Georgetown and George Washington fives have finished ‘heir schedules, as has Maryland, though the latter will open post-season play tomorrow in the Southern Conference totrnament at Atlanta. Aside from tomorrow's basket ball games the only college competition of the week end is the swimming meet Saturday between Catholic University and Duke in the Brookland tank and the annual intercollegiate A. A. A. A. track meet at New York, in which Georgetown will be represented. Boxing match scheduled Saturday between Catholic University and West- ern Maryland has been canceled be- cause the latter objected to the Cardi- nals using freshman battlers. American University will be out to| avenge an unexpected defeat suffered at the hands of Catholic University earlier in the season when these teams hook up. Gallaudet also will be striv- ing to even scores for a setback handed it by Shepherd at Kendall Green sev- eral weeks ago. Three Catholic University teams were successful last night. The Varsity basketers defeated Blue Ridge College, 48 to 27, at Brookland; the Cardinal Freshmen triumphed over Central High, 25 to 22, in a preliminary to the Var- | sity game, and the C. U. boxers took | the measure of Bucknell ringmen at Lewisburg, Pa., 4 to 3. In trimming Blue Ridge Catholic Uni- versity gained its third and most de- cisive victory of the campaign. For the first half, which ended with C. U. in the van, 21 to 17, the visitors gave the Cardinals a lively battle, but the latter stepped out in the final half to put the game in the bag. Jerry Mullaney led the Cards’ attack wiih 18 points, with Walsh and Reilly also counting consistently. | Catholic U. (48). Blue Ridee (27). 1.

SWIM TITLE IS ADDED BY MARTHA NORELIUS BY the Associated Press. CHICAGO, February 28—Martha Norelius, sturdy New York Acquatic star, has added the women's senior national amatuer 100-yard free style championship to her already imposing collection. Forging ahead of a fast field near the finish line, Miss Norelius won the title at the annual National Amateur Athletic Association indoor meet, which began at the Lake Shore Athletic Club last night. The former _titleholder, Ethel Lackie of Chicago, has retired from competition. Although the finish was very fast, the time for the distance was comparatively slow—1 minute and 4 seconds.. Albina Osycowitch of Worcester, Mass., was second and Mary Lou Quinn of Chicago was third. Miss Norelius also will de- fend her 220 and 500 yard free style titles during the meet. Eleanor Holm of New York, a 15- year-old girl with a powerful stroke, easily retained her title in the 300-yard medley event, the only other national title up for competition last night. Her time was 4:26 2-3, a second slower than her own world’s record. Miss Holm was not extended, leading her teammate and closest rival, Lisa Lindstrom, 30 feet at the finish. Joan McSheehy, Whitéin- ville, Mass., was third. COLLEGE BASKET BALL. Catholic University, 48; Blue Ridge, 27. Cornell, 28; Dartmouth, 23, Fordham, 33; Manhattan, 21, Princeton, 33; Rutgers, 26.

The ig occasion that many of the fair duckpin stars have been looking forward to has lost some of its lure. We have it officially from George L. Isemann, secrctary of the Duckpin Bowling Congress, that Jose- phine Roberge and the bevy of New England star pinettes who caused a sensation in the national tournament at Baltimore last year will not perform at Richmond. “Too bad,” comment the local woman stars. “We hope we didn't scare them away.” The N. D. B. C. records show that Miss Roberge and a few of the other Connecticut ladies went on a rampage at Baltimore last year and garnered most of the individual top honors, with the exception of the all-events crown, which adorns the brow of Mrs, Irene Mischou. Miss Roberge, who hails from Water- bury, ran up a 372 total on the opening night of the women's events last year, and Mrs. Katherine Dixon of Hartford ran a close second with a 366 set. Hard as they tried, none of the Capital City fair stars came within striking dis- tance of these scores. Won in Doubles Also. Then Miss Roberge teamed with her friend, Blanche Foote, to romp off with the doubles crown, with a 625 total, which remained just four pins better than the mark registered by Mrs. Mar- garet Miltner and Mrs. Elsie Fischer of local fame. ‘This stepping on the pride of the local stars has left many of them in a vengeful mood.

CONTINUES TS BAN ON NURMI Nine Other Track Athletes Barred at Meeting of Registration Body. NEW YORK, February 28.-—Paavo Nurmi's status as a suspended athlete remained unchanged after a meeting of the registration committee of the Met- ropolitan Association of the A. A. U, but after three hours of deliberation the committe considered Nurmi's excuse for not competing in the national cham- pionships last Saturday worthy of in- vestigation and instead of summarily suspending him as had been popularly elxpecwd, merely continued his suspen- slon. In all probability a meeting two weeks hence will produce action one way or another and Nurmi will receive either a suspension for a definite pe- riod of time or be cleared. There were nine track athletes sus- pended: Frank Cuhel, second to Lord Burghley in the 400-meter final at the Olympic games, for non-appearance at the metropolitan championships; Joe Tierney, world's 500-yard record holder, for non-appearance at the national championships; Frank Hussey, for non- appearance at the Masonic meet; Jis my Quinn, world's 60-yard record hold- er, for non-appearance at the Masonic meet; Ralph Luttman, intercollegiate one-mile champion, for non-appearance at the national championships; Weems Baskin, former national hurdles cham- pion, for non-appearance at the metro- politan championships; Willle Goodwin, former national two-mile champion, for non-appearance at the metropolitan and national championships; Merrill Anderson and Edwards Lovejoy, high jumpers, for non-appearance at the metropolitan championships, COLLEGE SWIMMING.

While Oklahoma, title holder of the Big Six, and Pennsylvania, Eastern col- legiate conference champion, have asked for games with the Big Ten winner, which will be either Wisconsin or Michi- gan, or both, the Western Conference schedule rule prohibits them. John L. Griffith, athletic commissioner of the Big Ten, sald each school was allowed to play only 17 games—12 con- ference and 5 non-conference battles.
