GEORGETOWN and University of Maryland relay teams go to Maryland some time ago was asked to run against Harvard and Penn again, the same opponents it has met in that meet for the last flve years, but outside of that no definite word has come as to what quartets will oppose the local schools. The Old Liners, however, are likely to find themselves opposed to the Crimson and Quakers, and probably Georgetown will find itself in competition with Holy Cross, a race that has been one of the features of the Millrose meet. Georgetown is to have two relay teams in competition, the two mile unr{gone mile. Rica, Carlin, Briggs and Burke make up the mile four and Julicher, Mara, Kelly and Downing the two mile. Maryland's mile 'elflé. Qv:;l{nch‘ist:; be its only entry, exce nn in t dash, is ycompooed o!p Havell, White, Kinnamon and Linzey. Georgetown has lost. temporarily at least, Milstead and Cranley because of scholastic diffi- culties. Some of the closest races that have ever been run in any New York meet, and usually the fastest times made, in the dual mile events between Holy Cross and Georgetown. Usually the two teams have never been separated by more than a yard or so at any period and they have seldom finished more than that distance apart. Maryland’s events with Harvard and Penn have been just about as interest- ing and, rather remarkable to mention, Maryland has been a victor most of the time. ‘The only competition scheduled to- night for a local college is between Catholic University and Delaware, in which they are to meet in a swimming match at Newark. Maryland and Gallaudet were victors in the four basket ball games in which Jocal schools took part last night, while Georgetown and Catholic University Jost. However, that means little, as Maryland and Gallaudet faced very lit- tle opposition, while Georgetown and Catholic U. were up against the real ‘thing. Georgetown's game with New York University was the most impor- tant, as the two teams had divided two previous contests. Georgetown had two of its regulars out of the play—Dutton because of ineligibility and Meenan be- cause of illness—but at that put up a game fight. The Blue and Gray lost by 26 to 20. Nemecek of N. Y. U. was the stellar light of the evening’s play, as h= scored 10 points—4 goals from the floor and 2 from the foul line—besides putting up a fine game at guard. McCarthy, Mesmer and Morris put up a good battle for the Blue and Gray, but could not quite stretch their work to top that of the Violet. N.Y.U. y wororoR Bl amornroal Mesmer, McCarthy, Totals. ... Umpire—Mr. Men- 8 . Eberts. Catholic University does not seem able to get going to the extent of a victory in basket ball. Last night's de- [Phy feat at the hands of St. John's College of Annapolis marked the ninth straight it has suffered. The Brooklanders never had much chance, St. John's ting a lead and holding it. The John- nies won by 34 to 19. G The stellar honors for St. John's were carried off by McCartee, a Wash- ington boy. That young man for- merly pranced up and down the basket ball floor for Tech and Emer- son, and showed last night that he not only has not lost any of his abil- ity but has improved a lot. He threw four goals from the floor and four from the foul line, to make 12 points. ‘Walsh of Catholic U. was high scorer of the game, registering 14 points.

S| wmmwoms | oo i HICAGO, February 7.—With the advantage of more than a week's steady practice follow- ing their first defeat in 35 games last week, Loyola University cagers will attempt to start another long winning streak tomorrow night in Pittsburgh against Duquesne Uni- versity. Georgetown will be met in ‘Washington next Monday. Loyola’s modern consecutive winning record of 34 games was shattered last week at Lafayette, llild.a ‘when Purd;l;, Big Ten basket ball leaders, won a 25- ml-'zu decision in an overtime battle. ‘1'(he cflmnk started during the season of 1828. 1In that game Charles (Feed) Murphy, lanky Loyola captain and center, proved that he was a great pinch player. With only seconds to play, Loyola lagged, 20 to 17. Murphy caged one from the field and was fouled by Capt. Charley (Stretch) Murphy of Purdue. He made the throw and tied the game, but Pur- due got the jump in the overtime to wit n. Loyola will bring into the East its baffiing slow offensive that has proved an enigma rival teams. Capt. Mur- phy, because of his great height, usual- ly gets the tipoff and a Rambler guard tears in and usually gets the ball. Mur- runs down to the free throw line, carefully plants his feet with his back to_his own goal. From here he is the key of the Loyo- la offensive. He takes the ball, feeding it to his forwards for open shots at the et. Occasionally he will execute a neat pivot and try for the basket himself, usually with success. The Loyola team will not shoot for the hoop back of the free-throw line, playing on the theory of keeping possession of the ball until an almost sure chance crops up to score. Loyola has a chance to start build- ing another envious record on its East- ern invasion, meeting five other strong teams les Duquesne. The Chicago team defeated Duquesne earlier in the season, when the Easterners ventured into the West. Loyola's Eastern schedule: February 8—Duquesne at Pittsburgh. ‘getown at Wash- ington. February 11—Loyola of Baltimore at 12—North Carolina at Pepbemry 13—Duke at Durham, N. C. February 14—North Carolina State at Raleigh. SCHOLASTIC SPORTS FOR REST OF WEEK BASKET BALL. Today.

HICAGO, February 7. — The Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, under the direc- tion of President Avery Brun- dage of Chicago, has launched an ex- | T | tensive campaign to improve its posi- tion in the athletic world and to make | itself more understandable, especially by the colleges. Ever since the organization found itself at loggerheads with several West- ern Conference colleges last Spring over the question of competing with ath- letes under the A. A. U. ban, Brundage has been mapping out the campaign now under way. J. L. Bingham, former director of athletics at Denver University, has been n assistant to Brundage and & full-time publicity man is on the job. The initial step in the organization's campaign is a drive for membership, the proceeds of which will be used toward the building up of an endow- ment fund, the income derived there- frgm to be used to promote amateur competition on a more widespread scale. “The A. A, U. and the colleges already are working in closer harmony,” Bing- ham reported today. “We have nearly 150 colleges as members and nearly two-thirds of our new governing board are college men, either in official posi- tions with coue;es or having had col- lege training and retained close identity with college athletic activities after be- ing graduated.” Bingham is the first full-time salaried officer of the A.

BIG TEN FIVES RESUME TITLE PLAY TOMORROW | CHICAGO, February 7 (#).—North- western's basket ball team will ease out of its examination period layoff tonight in a game with Marquette of Milwaukee.

Coach Lonberg indicated captain Rut Walter, who was benched before the Chicago contest, would be back at his old spot at,K center. Walter has shown more speed in practice and his shooting ability appears to have re- turned. Rus Bergl will be shifted back to forward. The Big Ten championship schedule will be resumed tomorrow night, with Purdue seeking its fourth straight vic- tory, at the expense of Chicago; Illinois invading Minnesota and Indiana open- ing ug again against Ohlo State at Columbus.

ONDON, February 7.—Dissension which threatened to hamper Ox- ford’s_preparations for the an- nual boat race with Cambridge apparently has been eliminated with the resignation of Alastair Gra- ham, president of the Oxford Boat Club, The president of the club, similar to the captain of an American crew, is in absolute charge of the crew, its train- ing and the appointment of Coaches. J. Tinne was c! as Graham'’s suc- cessor. The dispute began when the coaches, Dr. Mallam, Maj. Wiggins and A. S. Garton favored Tinne to replace Gra- ham at the No. 7 oar in the Oxford boat. The president insisted upon re- taining his seat in the boat and cited tradition to prove his right to it. Find- ing Graham unshakable, the coaches resigned in a body. Graham then called a meeting of the captains of the college boats and after a discussion of the situation announced his resignation. Tinne, brother of the famous Oxford Blue of 1912, was im- mediately chosen as his successor. It is generally expected that Tinne would authority to appoint a new staff. The Oxford-Cambridge race will be rowed April 12 with Oxford attempting to break a string of six consecutive Cambridge victories. Members of the crew annually elect the president of the Oxford Boat Club, & position of great social distinction in England. He has full command in all Towing matters at the university.
