EW YORK, January 10— N “Pa” Stribling, father of young Bill, the Macon Mauler, can sign immedi- ately if he wants to for a heavy- weight title bout with Max Schmeling in June, either in De- troit or Cleveland.

QUINT Gains 34-23 Triumph, Tak- ing Early Lead and Never Being Headed. Maryland's fast basket ball'team proved too much for Washing- ton and Lee tonight and won, 36 to 21. It was the Generals’ first eonference game and they blew up before the cool defense of the visitors. The heavy scoring artillery of the Washington and Lee team for the past two seasons, Cox, ‘Williams and Barasch, were silenced by the brilllant guarding of Berger and May. Maryland introduced a speedster in Ronkin, small forward, who waited until the second half.to run the Wash- ington and Lee defense as he pleased to_tally four goals. Berger was accurate from m dis- tance to counter four goals throughout the game. The only Washington an Lee baskets garnered in the second hall were those by Willlams. The Old Liners assumed the lead at the start and were never huded. Half time found them in front, 1§ to 8.
