- The 'WITH SUNDAY MORNING EDITION M Foening Staf. - WASHINGTON D." @ Maryland Provides FIVE PLAYS TWICE: BOKERS MAKE BOW Will Meet Conference Foes. Gallaudet and G. W. Also Have Court Tilts. BY H. C. BYRD. NIVERSITY OF MARY- LAND'S contests with Vir- ginia Military Institute, Virginia Polytechnic In- stitute and Washington and Lee are the high lights cf the athletic program in local colleges this week end. Tonight the Old Liners meet Virginia Military Institute in basket ball and tomorrow sve»| ning, face Washington and Lee in boxing and Virginia Polytechnic Institute on the court. The basket ball pame tonight with V. M. L begins at &:15, while tomor- row night the bosing match with Washington and Lee starts at 8 o'clock and the basket ball game immediately after. The only other contests are those tomorrow night in_ which Gallaudet meets Baltimore - University in basket ball and George Washington plays Elon College in the same ‘sport. Both these games begin at 8:15. Gallaudet is pretty sure to have its troubles. The Kendall Green outfit will be against a five that played George- town a bang-up game early in the sea- son. However, Gallaudet is expected to have available its strongest line-up, especially as Cosgrove is reported to be 1n shape to play again after his illness. George Washington ought not to have much difficulty taking Elon into camp, as the North Carolinians seldom are strong in any sport. RGINIA MILITARY INSTI- tute, unless it is much stronger than it was earlier in the season, s not likely to be good enough to stop Maryland tonight. Down at Lexington early in January the Old Liners took the long end of the score from the Cadets and on .heir home floor tonight certainly ought to repeat. Of course, college athletics sometimes produce unusual results, and if an un- usual result can be got out of a team. then Bill Raftery, V. M. L coach, can turn the trick. Given as good material as his opponent, Raftery will get just about as good results as any coach. ‘This season, the same as in foot ball, Raftery is suffering the loss of veteran material. V. M. I was harder hit by graduation of athletes at the last com- mencement than any other school in the South. Virginia Polytechnic Institute, how- ever, seems to be a different story this year. The Blacksburg collegians are ~mwch. stronger than usual, and for the first time in yeaYs~I8. basket bail are go- ing along at a great gait. As a maticr of fact, V. P.

P. I-Maryland basket ball game at 7:30 with the boxing match imme- diately after, but it was found that it would take too long to place the ring and thereby occasion too much delay between the two competitions. How- ever, with the boxers appearing first the Ting can be removed and the floor made | ready for basket ball in about 15 min- utes. | Maryland's squad of boxers took its | final workout vesterday.

This appar- ently is carrying out the general coun- try-wide idea, according to one coach. of “going Notre Dame” as far as foot ball is concerned. Miller has been as- sistant coach at Navy, devoting a large of his attention to the line, under ram, and knows conditions there ‘without doubt He also knows foot ball and knows how to teach it. ‘With Miller in as head coach, Navy will seem a far different team next season from what it has in the past five The Notre Dame type of offense is radi- cally different from that which the Navy has had, and the defence, t0o, especially as it relates to backfield play, also is different from that employed by teams coached in Notre Dame methods Miller is well liked and is the kind ©of chap who will inspire the respect of his playe He knows how to adapt himself to all kinds of conditions and | would be a mighty good man at any school and especially at the Naval Academy.

COLLEGES DIVIDED ON SPRING DRILLS Fourteen in East Continue, Eleven Will Have None, Nine Undecided. By the Associated Press. * EW YORK, January 29.—The process of deflating foot ball has begun. Of 34 Eastern colleg's and universities queried by the Associated Press only 14 have definitely decided to continue Spring foot ball practice. Eleven plan no drills in the Spring, while nine have not yet disposed of the question, Elimination of Spring practice has been suggested as one means of reduc- ing alleged overemphasis of the game. Among co'leges which will retain the Spring training idea, curtalled in some instances, are the Navy, Rutgers, Dart- mouth, Corn-ll, Villanova, Syracuse, Colgate, Pittsburgh, Washington and Jefferson, Duqu sne, Penn State, Buck- nell and Temple. Dropping this feature entirely will be the Army, Carncgi~ Tech, Lafayette. Maryland. Rider Coll'g= of Trenton, N. J.; Dolaware, Haverford, Swarth- more, Penn Military, Allegheny and Geneva, Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, New York Univ-rsity, Fordham, Brown, West Virginia and Pennsylvania have yet decided whother Spring prac- tice will be hold. S-veral of these are “xpected to join the group which has abandenod the early practice sessions. Definite steps toward curtailing foot ball practice were taken at the foot ball meetings here i Decemb'r. The Na- tional Foot Ball Coaches’ Association adopted a series of resolutions, offered by Bill Ropcr, former Princeton: coach, which opposed ‘“compulsory Spring practics” or the start of “organized Fall practice” before September 15.

Understand, I'm not against professors. I think, as a matter of fact, most of them are underpaid. But they don't have as hard a time holding their jobs as the coaches. “When I hear a professor making wild statements about foot ball which T “are untrue T don’t get angry, but I naturally wonder if he is as for off about what he teaches his class as he is when he starts ex- pounding on foot ball. “The trouble with some of them— the professors—is that they live a guarded existence. They don’t have to fight for their jobs. They don't have competition.” MILLER WILL HEAD NAVY'S GRID STAFE Has Been Line Mentor for Five Years. NNAPOLIS, Md., January 30 (). —“Navy Bill” Ingram’s shoes as head foot ball coach at the United States Naval Academy are to be filled by Edgar E. “Rip” Miller, all-America tackle at Notre | Dame in 1924 and Navy's line coach for the last five years, it has been learned at the academy. Miller has been a member of the coaching staff of the academy since 1926 when Ingram first took over the reins. The vacancy was created by the resignation of Ingram, who has ac- cepted a similar post at th: University of California. Naval Academy authorities would neither confirm ner deny the appoint- ment of Miller, but a high naval ath- letic official said that he had been agreed on. Formal announcement would not be made for several days, he said, however. Coming fresh from Notre Dame Mil- ler aided in turn'ng out the undef-ated team of 1926 and all of the Navy elevens since that time. Had he not been selected as h-cad coach overtures from Ingram and the California Uni- versity authorties to have him coach the Bears' lines were expected, Ingram and Miller had only fair suc- cess with the Middles last Fall, win- ning six games and losing four.

Morgan is a contender for the C. I A. A, titi> and has a clean slate for the scason, including a victory over the fast going Lincoln Lions.

He is one of the fastest men on the squad and seemed the backbone of the Bisons' attack. Hall and Williamson, forwards; Wood or Taylor, center, and Smith, Taylor and Swift in guards, will be Howard’s dependables. A large group of Howard followers will accompany the team to Baltimore.

Stanleigh Jenkins, Hyattsville coach, attributes the victory over Business and that Tuesday over Takoma-Silver Spring High to improved teamwork and fighting spirit. In connection with the usiness game, he praised particularly the work of Curley Byrd, jr., son of the athletic director of the University of Maryland. Playing at a guard post, he held Bobbie Lucas, ace of the Business team, to a lone field goal and himself scored six. Lucas played most of the game. Coach Jenkins is after games for the newly formed 120-pound Hyattsville eround that Ameriran rules favor fighting rather tran boring. ‘The retort is thet South Africans will never achieve real success/until they discard the methods that retard anlah boxing. © Conmen ) M g, Sl P h team.

When the Gophers take the re- bound, with No. 5 getting the ball, you are likely to see a.blue streak beating it along the right side-line for the other basket. He's No. 2, the Minnesota right forward. At the instant he sees that No. 5 is going to get the ball he's off. Somewhere rqs'. midcourt he turns his head and looks for a long pass from No. 5. ‘This pass leads him, just as for- ward pesses should in foot ball.
