Renew Rioalry This Week : Schoolboy Quints in 26 Contests TERRAPIN QUINT MEETING CARD TOSSERS SATURDAY Two Schools Getting Back Into Athletics Together After Five Years’ Lapse—Grid Schedules in South Are Badly Muddled. BY H. ATHOLIC University and interim of several years, C versities will be the occasion for crowds that have watched a bask C. BYRD. University of Maryland, after an resume relationships in athletics Saturday night with'a basket ball game on the latter’s court. It is likely that the renewal of games between the two uni- a gathering of one of the biggest et ball game here in years. Repre- sentatives of both institutions have expressed themseives as highly pleased over the scheduling of games and students at both are look- ing forward to the contest with considerable anticipation. It has been five years since C. U. and Maryland met in all branches of sports, and now they are resuming in everything ex- cept foot ball. The foot ball situation at Maryland is tied up with 50 many definite commitments at present that it was impossible for it to take on any new ones at Maryland, however, has no reason other than that for not scheduhng‘- gridiron contest. The last foot ball flme played between C. U. and Mary- and resulted in & 0-to-0 tie, the last basket ball game was won by Maryland, while the last in base ball game went to the Brooklanders. ‘Winter Sports Get Under Way. ‘The Winter sports season among the colleges really gets under way this week, notwithstanding a few basket ball games were played before the holidays. All the six local schools play basket games, while one, Catholic University, engages in & boxing meet. town takes a trip to West Virginia and West- ern Pennsylvania, where it meets West Firtebureh. . George “Washingion's’ big Pittal 5 n's games are with Villanoua and American University. Georgetown plays at home ‘Tuesday night with Wake Forest, while in Duke University Thursday night and Catholic U. Saturday, Maryland may have two tough games. Here 1s a list of events for the week: Tuesday. ‘Wake Forest at G-orgetown. Wedne- day. American U at Hopkins. Mount St. Ma*’s at Catholic U. Trursday. Duke University at Maryland, Friday. Georgetovn at West Virginia. American University at George Washington. Villanova at Catholic U. Blue Ridge at Gallaudet. Saturday. Indications are that all the local schools will have creditable teams. Not one may come up to expectations of its most ardent supporters, but when the season ends it is likely to be found that not one has a record of which it need feel very regretful. Georgetown as back virtually the entire squad which made such & fine record a ago, and, naturally, should be hard to be: Maryland ha success. versity, under Fred Rice, always has been. and probably always will be, capable, while reports from the other schools indicate that prospects are much better than last season. ‘The foot ball situation in the Far South for next Fall, as far as schedules are concerned, is not :gver:l schools. The e Auburn on Thanksgiving day by Georgia ?’0?!: and of the Sewanee game by Vanderbilt has more or less disrupted the schedules of several in- stitutions. It seems that ‘Tech desired ”e%hg Florida on that date, and Vanderbilt signed a contract with Ahbl‘fl for several ye‘nénmuee was ave been played next year the holiday, and the Vanderbilt-Ala- bama tract was not to be effective However, Sewanee kicked , and Vanderbilt was left, without its game and also without an early season date which it had intended to reserve for Sewanee. Georgia Tech is in pretty nearly the same fix for one of its October dates. December found more open dates on the schedules of Far Southern elevens than at any previous time in the last decade. Jimmie Driver, athletic director at the University of Virginia, has virtuall completed 'ments for foot bal ames with two Northern schools, arvard and Cols . The game with Harvard is to take place in 1931 on the first Saturday in November, while the . date with Columbia has not yet been » Year, settled. However, both Columbis and | Virginia are anxious for the contest, and the only possibility that it may not be played lies in inability to find a date suitable for both elevens. Graduate Manager Benson of Colum- bia told the writer recently that “We will be mighty glad to have the game with Virginia. Our team is probably of about the same strength, and rela- tionships between the should be very cordial and agreeable. I hope that nothing interferes with us getting a date that is mutually satis- factory.” : Probably nothing in athletics has deen more generally commented on in the last few days than the one-sided defeat sustained by the Pittsburgh eleven at the hands of Southern Cali- fornia. Everybody seems to want to know why, and most people, Easteners, that is, blame it on the climate, the much warmer weather prevailing in California. As a matter of fact, some « of the results of the game, in compar- ing types of play, do not bear out this assumption. For instance, Pittsburgh g2ined more ground in rushing the ball than did California, which ordinarily would not be the case in a game in which one team was su to be weakened from heat. Also it seems that the one feature of play in which South- ern California was pre-eminently su- perior was in forward passing, which, comparatively, should not have been affected much by heat or any other ~umatic_conditions. In reality, other factors probably con- cributed to the Pitt debacle more than any climatic conditions of the day on which the game was played. The cli- . mate probably helped the Pacific Coast eleven, but not in the way most people surmise. The weather conditions in California eleven could continue, and California eleven could coninute, and did continue, its normal processes of ~aining from Thanksgiving day until New Year without a let-up. However, at Pittsburgh, the weather was such that in all probability the Pittsburgh eleven got very little o] unity to do any Teal practicing. 'ith the d cov- ered with ice and snow, Pitt probably along 1 ving ‘Year with virtually no training, while its opgaunt was working and going through a normal process of develop- ment. Therefore, Pitt was slipping from its regular season form every day that passed between Thanksgiving and New while its opponent was goinf 1 There is not much difference between two really good foot ball teams any way; not so very much difference between a good tea team, going ahead and Pitt going back only one result should have been e tally, Southern [ two schools | xpected. California had this time. the benefit also of a game with Carne- gle Tecgi while Pitt had no game. Then again, Pitt had the long trip, which did | not help it any. Pittsburgh's defeat | was caused by a lot of contributing factor rather than any sudden change from a cold to & warm climate, OLD LINE TOSSERS BET SEVERE TESTS Two Varsity Outfits Stage Hot Duel While Third Bat- tles Frosh. URTON SHIPLEY, University of Maryland varsity basket ball coach, got an eyeful of infor- mation on his talent in serim- mages at College Park yesterday. Two teams made up of the leading varsity aspirants, the Whites and the Blacks, hooked up in a duel that re- quired an extra five period for the former to win after the score had been deadlocked at 29 points each. Previously a third team from the varsity squad had bowed to Jack Faber’s freshman outfit, 15 to 14. Both ames went the regulation 40 minutes, t were played in quarters. The leading varsity teams started as follows: Whites—Capt. Bill Evans and Bozey Berger, forwards; Fred Hetzel, center; Julie Radice and Al Heagy, guards. Blacks—George Madigan and Ed- ward Ronkin, forwards; Pat Rooney center; Bob Gaylor and Charlie May. guards. George Chalmers, who is numbered among the leading array, was unable ear | to play yesterday on account of & bad sty on his eye. Evans, Hetzel, Radice, Heagy, Mad- igan and Gaylor are veterans, the first five named being letter men, while the others are all sophomores. The team that plaved against the yearlings was as follows: Morris Cohan and Fred Stieber, for- wards; Al Pease and Jack Norris, cen- ters; Warren Rabbitt and John Pitzer, guards. Cohan, Rabbitt and Pitzer were on the squad last season and the others are sophs. Faber's yearlings began as follows: Paul Kreh and Bill Wood, forwards; Ademar Weingarther, center; Dan Ga- lotta and Edward Melvin, guards. Kreh is from Silver Spring, Wein- gartner played at Hyattsville High, Melvin comes from Baltimore Poly, S o B S alof formed for Tech and Emerson. Maurice Goubeau, center, former Western High tosser, who was not on hand yesterday, and Edgar Newcomer, guard, a product of Central, are the two other leading players on Faber's squad of 15, ALEXANDRIA QUINTS TRAVEL FOR GAMES ALEXANDRIA, Va., January 4 —Two Alexandria basket ball teams will be seen in action on foreign courts tomor- row when the Knight's Store Five plays the Skinker Bros. les in the Silver Spring Armory at Silver Spring, Md., in the afterncon and the Knight's Store Buddies meet the Jewish Community Center sextet in the latter's gym- nasfum in Washington tomorrow night.

HARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Jan- uary 4.—Basket ball gets off to a fast start among the South- ern Conference members in the South Atlantic States when Duke travels up to meet Virginia on Wednes- day and Maryland on Thursday. ‘The Blue Devils were runners-up in the conference tournament in Atlanta last March. On their opening trip they can present a veteran combination of men who all saw action in the cham- plonship tourney. A trio from Washington forms the nucleus of Duke's great team. Coun- cilor, midget forward, and Werber, all- Southern guard, have been playing to- gether since they first entered Tech High in 1922. This is their final sea- son for the Durham team. Croson entered the Washington school two years after Councilor and Werber. He followed them to Duke, but arrived late and was not eligible for the entire seaton. This yellow-haired center stands 6 feet 3 inches. Rogers at for- ward, and Farley at guard, probably will complete the Duke five. Last January Virginia defeated Duke, 35 to 23. But the Blue Devils were without the services of Croson, who added greatly to the scoring strength when he became eligible, Virginia Needs Center. Virginia is hunting a center to re- place the tall Millen, former captain. The job will probably go to Capt. Har- rison who played forward last year. Merle, forward, and Stouder "and Roberts, guards, are other Cavalier vet- erans. In addition Coach Randall will have the regular line-up of the first- year team that lost only one game. This includes Mayo, and Bryant, for- wards; Delafield, center, and Thomas and Manley, guards. In the final round of the Southern Conference tournament last year North Carolina State defeated Duke, 44 to 35. State has lost Frank Goodwin, the tall Filling this center position is Coach Te- bell's chief problem. Waring, a 6-foot- 4-inch lad, has the edge on Eliing- ton and Morgan, who played with him last year as freshman, and Gammon and Wright, from the '20 varsity re- Tves. Capt. Johnson, guard, and Haar, for- ward, are the only first-string players from the championship quint who are eligible this season. Brown and Wood- | ward are leading the pack for the vacant forward ition, while some of the center candidates are pairing with Cept. Johnson at guard. Generals Lose Jacobs. Washington and Lee was the leading contender from tRe Old Dominion last season, but slumped in the quarter- finals in Atlanta. Coach Smith had all his regulars in the practice game in which he defeated the Shawnee Club of have to find a forward to take the place o |of Jacobs, who will not b: back after the Christmas holidays. Lowry, who was capta was the cnly missing e Generals’ point-a- that Jacobs has been added to the list, Capt. Wood, guard; Willlams, center; Cox, forward, and Hanna, guard, are left to on this season. McLanahan, 6-foct-4 reserve forward and center, and Barasch, another vuult{ reserve, are the best men to fill the places left vacant. Tarheels Must Plug Holes. North Carolina will miss Satterfield and Hackney, forwards, but Harper, center, and Brown and Marpet, guards, are back from the 1929 ouint. Hutchin- son, Slater, ungu and Cleland are showing up best the forward berths. That the Tarheels may be forced to play second fiddle t0 the Duke gquinf is shown by ainst the Raleigh Y. M. C. A.

Croson scored 31 points, Werber 20, while Goodwin was held to 13. Neither V. P. I. nor V. M. I. had strong quints last Winter and 1930 looks like another lean year on the court for both of them. Phil Spear, who was Virginia Tech's scoring ace on the gridiron, has a brother Bob who may come through | for the Gobblers on the court. With | him will be Amole, center; Zirkle, forward, and Owens and ' McEver, guards, with other varsity rederves from 1929 as well as recruits from the fresh- man squad. ‘The Cadet team will have to be built | around Scott and Biggs, veteran guards. But V. M. I. had a crack freshman team last year, and these youngsters may round into form rapidly. MONTGOMERY QUINTS HAVE LONG SCHEDULE Off to a good start, the newly or- ganlud Montgomery County Basket | all League, comprising nine teams, 18 looking to a successful season.

BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR. ITH the public high school basket ball champlonship series getting under way and a host of other games of more than usual interest carded, the court season arrives in no un-. certain way this week among scholastics in the District Twenty-six basket ball games and a swimming meet make up the big program. Action is listed each day. Four games are scheduled in the public high court series, two on and before the week is out three of ave been seen twice in action in championship play. Because of the apparent strength of all the quints interest in the series is running high and it is expected that large crowds will turn out for the contests in the Tech gym. Central and Eastern will meet in the series opener Tuesday at 8:30 o'clock, with Tech and Business clashing in the second game. Central and Business will come to grips in the first engagement Friday with Eastern and Western playing its first series game, fac- Several games that promise to prove wows also are listed among the prep school teams, notably that between Business and Gonzaga Wednesday afternoon in the I street school gym. Central probably has the most at- tractive out-of-town date. The Blue and White will go to Norfolk, Va., to meet the Maury High quint Saturday afternoon. Not in years has the winner of the public_high basket ball series been so difficult to predict and regardless of how the games turn out this week the results will not produce much surprise, so evenly matched apparently are all five teams and so close are the battles expected to prove. Buginess doubtless has the most’im- pressive pre-series record of any of the teams, though, on the whole, its schedule perhaps has not been quite $o hard as some of the others. The Stenogs have won eight of the ten games they have played, scoring over all the schoolboy team met. They lost to George Washington and Catho- lic Upiversity Freshmen. All the other teams also have done well. ‘Tech, defend! champion, though it has R‘l-yefl only two games, showed well these engagements. Central has been victorious in six games, including triumphs over some formidable opponents, and Eastern has shown unquestionable power, as has Western. Both Coaches Bert Coggins and Charley (Chief) Guyon of the Central and Eastern quints, respectively, are still uncertain as to the line-ups they will put on the floor when the Biue and White and Lincoln Parkers come to grips Tuesday. Each has a group of high-grade performers, however, and a bang-up game is the prospect. Busi- ness and Tech also are expected to furnish a red-hot battle. Both Artle Boyd, Wi Tech team, ho tutors the and Lynn Woodworth, Business mentor, the way they have about decided line up their hope- fuls when these fives clash in the nightcap. Tech’'s array at the beginning likely will include George Talburtt and George Lassie, forwards; Mal Johns, center, and Capt. Carl MacCartee and ‘Tom Wilson, guards. ~ Comprising_the Businéss team at the start, says Woodworth, will be the combinati which the Stenogs hav: been using regularly. This is Capt. Natie Newman and Bobby Lucas, for- wards; Spencer Chase, center, and Mil- ton Singman and Pete Loftus, guards. ‘Western likely will take the court against Eastern Friday with Capt. Thompson and Buscher as (ernr&; Freeman, center, and Amidon and Chatlin, guards. Clff Moore, Western mentor, has other capable players on his roster, though, and performanced between now and Friday may result in some changes. Starting. Tuesday the champlonship schedule will continue through Feb- ruary 7. Following is the schedule aside from ‘Tuesday's snd Friday's games. January 14—Tech vs. Western, Business vs. Eastern.
