SPORTS. BOTH IN MILLROSE GAMES THE WEEK Also to Run in Other Big Meets in North—Quints Battle Tonight. BY H. C. BYRD. EORGETOWN and Mary- land begin today to put the finishing touches on their reélljkcét:ms‘m preparation for big Northern in- door meets this week. Both schools also are to enter men in individual events, but chief inter- est is sure to center around the performances of their teams in relay races. Georgetown is to have its relay and several indi- viduals in all four of the biggest Eastern meets, wm{; J‘daryl:nd will be in two, poss] ree. ‘The first meet comes Saturday night in New York under the auspices of the Millrose Athletic Association. The fol- lowing Wednesday night the Meadow- brook is to be held in Philadelphia, and on Saturday, February 15, the Boston A. A. games are to take place in Boston. The New York Athletic Club meet is scheduled the Monday night after the Boston affair. Georgetown is to have its mile and two-mile relay fours in Millrose, Meadowbrook and New York A. C. meets, and only its two-mile four in the Boston games. Maryland is entered in the Millrose and Meadowbrook compe- is understood that Mary- run against Harvard and Pennsylvania at New York, and against Navy and Philadelphia. Georgetown'’s opponents have not yet been announced. It was stated at Georgetown this morning that two mainstays of the relay team may not be able to compete be- cause of difficulties in scholastic work. Cranley are said to be on the ragged edge, with just a fair chance that they may pull through. Both are seniors, and Milstead is captain of the West Virginia's basket ball team comes here tonight to give Georgetown & chance to even up for the defeat the lat- ter suffered at Morgentown some time ago. The West Viginians took the meas- ure of the Blue and Gray earlier in the season, and do not seem to have lost any of their strength since that time. Last week, the game tonight between Washington and Lee and Maryland loomed up as one of the greatest of the year, but the former took a beating Saturday night at the hands of West Virginia, and Maryland also got whipped by North Carolina State. Washington and Lee had won seven straight prior to its defeat at West Virginia. and Lee and Maryland is at College Park. Both are to begin at 3 a'clock. ‘Washington and Lee was not the only quint stopped Saturday night, as Syra- cuse put a quietus on Pittsburgh.

JOWA'S INDEMNITY PAID IN ATHLETES Peace Without Victory Seen as Eleven Men Remain Under Big Ten Ban. By the Associated Press. HICAGO, February 3.—The Uni- versity of Iowa’s pleasure at having regained its place in the ‘Western Conference today was mixed with disappointment caused by the final disqualification of 11 star athletes. - After nearly four and one-half hours of deliberation Saturday, the conference faculty committee on athletics, in s clal session, voted to reinstate Iowa, but warned that JTowa still has some house-cleaning to do. A supplemental resolution advised Iowa authorities it would not be wise to request.that any of the 27 athletes disqualified last December be declared eligible for further competition. Eleven of the lat- ter still are in school, including Mike Farroh, co-captain-elect of the 1930 Hawkeye foot ball squad; Doyle Plunkitt, basket ball star; Irving Nelson, drop- kick artist, and Theron Boyer, track man. No Victory for Towa. In its resolution inviting Iowa to re- sume athletic relations with the other nine members of the conference, the committee stated it had reason to sus- pect that outside forces still were work- ing improperly to aid Iowa athletes, but expressed confidence in the ability of Jowa athletic authorities to detect and h‘-fl” practice. Daily Iowan, student publication of the university, called the situation a “peace without victory,” and lamented that the committee had definitely barred the 11 athletes from competition. 001 ‘The athletes affected were bitterly dis- appointed, especially those majoring in ical education, who claimed qualification from competition might ruin their chances for obtaining coach- ing positions. portunity for immediately re-estab- mflu athletic relations with other Big Ten schools appeared limited to track and minor sports until 1931. Iowa’s foot ball schedule for next season lists eight es, the maximum permitted by con- pewer in Iowa sports, possibly more power than the faculty committee. During ' the holidays it was learned that the situation was clearing to such an extent that the whole matter would be settled within a few weeks. A story ‘was printed to that effect, and the pre- diction made at that time was borne out by the announcement of last Satur- day that relationships with Iowa would be resumed immediately by the other Western Conferenze institutions. HYATTSVILLE GUARD MAR HAWK RECORD HYATTSVILLE, Md, February 3.—A game between Companv F, National Guard, of Hyattsville and the sturdy St. Martin’s quint of Washington, and a Prince Georges County League match between the fast-moving Maryland Col- legians and Dixie Pig A. C. will make up a basket ball card tonight in the armory here. The league game will open the program at 7:30 o'clock. Brentwood Hawks today still head the pennant race in the Prince Georges League, but no longer can boast a clean record, having suffered their first de- feat yesterday in a 20-17 thriller at the hands of Company F. The setback winning streak of ten games. Dor-A quint kept pace with Company F in their battle for second place by drubbing Mount Rainier, 42 to 13, and are still tied for the runner-up berth. Hawks started briskly, gaining a 6-1 lead at the end of the first quarter, but Company F got going in the second quarter and the Hawks were ahead at half time by only 9 to 7. In the third quarter the Soldiers, led by Rufus Vin- cent, rangy center, shot their way to a 14-10 lead. Though the Hawks con- stantly threatened in the last 10 min- utes, Company F_contrived to keep in front the remainder of the way. Vin- cent, with 12 points, was Company F's leader on attack, while Wiler and Wan- ey, the league’s leading scorer, were best for the Hawks, with 7 and 6 points, respectively. Mount Rainier topped Dor-A, 5 to 4, at the end of the first r, but then Dor-A gained the lead and wid- ened it steadily as the game meued Stanley Lewis and Jack Willi , with 17 and 10 points, respectively, did most of Dor-A’s scoring, while Bud Bellman, with 7 markers, was most consistent for Dl!ri'l Pig A. paiieife i 5 i:\lrifl Rainler A, C.

The bout is a no-decision affair, but Abad can win it by knocking out the Philadel- phian. Brown defends his bantam- weight title against Johnny Erickson of New York at the Olympia A.

ECH'S basket ball team will have opportunity tomorrow of assur- ing itself at least a tie for the public high school championship which it won last Winter.

Then if they can contrive to defeat Eastern Friday the Tech tossers will be able to boast the undisputed championship. However, to turn in these victories will be a big job for the Gray in view of the demonstrated strength of both Central and Eastern. To defeat the Columbia Heights scholastics Tech will have to conquer a team which in first round play vanquished it, 45 to 25. The Gray walloped Eastern, 47 to 27, in their initial clash of the season, but Coach Chief Guyon’s boys have been playing vastly improved basket ball in recent ames and doubtless will offer the Boyd-coached team plenty of argument. Last Game for Stenogs. Should Central again defeat Tech it will gain a three-way first-place tie with Tech and Eastern. Western also will enter this deadlock if it is able to vanquish Business in the first game of tomorrow’s double-header, which will, as usual, get under way at 3:45 o’'clock. However, a Business win over the Red would be a body blow to Western's title hopes. It will be Business' final series game. The Stenogs already are out of the title picture. There is question as to whether Tech will employ the defense against Central in view of the way the Blue scored against it in the first game with the Gray. Personnel of the combination Tech will start against Central will doubtless depend to some extent on whether the zone or five-man type of defense is used. It would not be sur- prising if George Brandt were to start at center for Central for the first time in ‘i | a series game, with Downey Rice, who has been at the pivot post, to a forward post, and Eddie De‘l‘.?‘l.:g, ‘who has been playing a forward job, going Y18 view of bls good showing in his view of sl first series start last Friday against Tech, it is thought probable that Milton d | Chatien will again begin in place of Buscher. has been pla; to replace Natie Newman, lost by gradu- ation, at forward for Business, with Finley taking Loftus' former guard job.
