Coach Rates Maryland Five Highly : Eastern Leads in Scholastic Series CALLED SUPERIOR 10 DIXIE CHAMPS 0id Liners, Who Beat Cadets, Will Figure in Double Bill Tonight. BY H. C. BYRD. P ARYLAND has a better basket ball team than M that with which Ala- bama last year won the Southern Conference champion- ship,” was the tribute paid to the Old Line quint this morning by Bill Raftery, head coach cf basket ball, foot ball and base ball at Vir- ginia Military Institute. “That team not only is playing good basket ball, but will continue to do so, because the players jusl; go along playing basket ball with- | out anv flurry or bother, no matter what the score.” In paying his rather high tribute to the Maryland five, Raftery spoke in especially complimentary terms of Jack Norris, center, not because of any espe- clal outstanding ability, but because of | improvement he has shown. ““Thrt e brris. said Raftery. “is 50 per cent better than he was at the begin- ning of the season, when he played against us in Lexington. And it is improvement of this kind which I ad- mire even more than I do brilliant play by some man who is a star.” According to Raftery, Maryland ought to do well in the Southern Con- | ference tournament, if it gets a break at the beginning. Actually, however, ‘Maryland has three times been to At- lanta with what g-nerally wes con- sidered to be one of the best teams in the conference, and only once has it got by the opening game. It de- feated Alabama on that occasion but Jost to a weak team in the second contest. On the two other occasions it lost to Kentucky and to Mississippi | A. and M. in the first games. That | first game at Atlanta has been some- thing of a jinx for the Cld Liners, if they were inclned to believe in jinxes. “Maryland ought to have as good chance as any other team in the con- ference tournament,” is the wi tery expressed his opinion. “Last year, when it lost to Kentucky in the open- ing game, I believe that it was just as strong as any other school. If Mary- land gets by its opening game this year it should stand an excellent | chance of going through.” FTER a tribute liks the above from h of a rival school, Mary- eriainly ought to make a special effort to look to its laurels to- night in a game with what generally is looked upon 2s the b>st quint Vir- chnic Inst'tute has turned ears The Black<burg collegians came here this morning. and play at College Park tonight as a part of a doub'e bill, the firet half of which is a_boxing match beiween Maryland and Washington and Lee. | The Maryland boxers g2 into the ring #g2inst W. and L. at 8 o'clock in their first attompt at-intercollegiate boxing end the baskat ball game between Mary- | land end V.

EW YORK, January 31.—Her- | man Perlick, one-half of a twin N pugilistic irm from Kalamazoo, Mich., s0on should be convinced that he cannot whip Jack (Kid) Berg, the White Chapel whirlwind of the lightwelghts. Herman, whose twin brother Henry also is a lightweight of some preten- sions, stepped into the ring with Berg for the third time last night, and for | the third time Berg pounded out a decision victory. For the first time in months the faith- ful at Madison Square Garden had a chance to grow really excited about a boxing match, And the 8,800 specta- tors, a better than average gathering in these lean days at the Garden, hissed, hooted, laughed, booed and finally chéered to their hearts’ content and genuinely enjoyed themselves. Perlick was beaten—soundly beaten-— by the time the tenth round rolled about, but 1n the early stages of the bout, he gave Berg plenty of anxious mo- | ments, Berg Slow Starter. Profiting by his experiences in two | previous meetings with the British mauler, Periick won the first two rounds handily. As Berg came charging in, fAsts flying, Perlick brought him up | short with a speedy left to the head and a sharp right cross. Th> Briton began to warm up to his | task in the thrd round, which was even, and thereafter Perlick lost six straight rounds. Berg swept all over the Kalamazoo trial horse, belabored him with both fists and forced him to hold on desperately in an attempt to weather the storm of leather that came his way. The crowd hissed and hooted indignantly at Perlick’s holding tactics, but its jeers quickly turned to cheers as th» fight became rougher and rougher. Perlick rallied in the tenth round and slugged it out with the British leather-swinger until the final bell ended the fray. Perlick won the first two rounds and gaincd an even break in the third and tenth, but all the others went to Berg, who not only holds the junior welterweight cham- pionship, but also is the outstanding | contender for Tony Canzoneri's light- we‘ght championship. ere w're ho knockdowns, but Per- | lick started bleeding about th= nore in the fifth round and his left eve wa< split in the ninth.

By the Associated Press CHICAGO, January 31 —The Little| Nineteen, an unwieldy collegiate con- ference numbering 23 Illinois colleges, showed signs of breaking up today. 8ix Northern TIllinois members— Mount Morris, Northern State Teach- ers of De Kalb. Elmhurst, Wheaton. North Central of Naperville and Lake Forest—planned to send representa- tives to a meeting in Chicago Monday | to lay plans for the organization of a separate conference. The new conference. it was explained would be concerned only with the two Spring sports. base ball and track. and would not affect the standings of the schools in the Little Nincteen for foot ball or basket ball. Reports have been current for the ‘ast year that several of the colleges in the conference wanted to break away and form a separate conference, be- lieving the present group was too un- wieldy for championship races. 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR.

Fear has been expressed by some that the fact that Walter Johnson is not doing any pitching this Win- ter may affect his work the ap- proachirg season, but it is believed by most persons that the rest will help him and that he will show at his bast.

RAD MANDLEY, leader in the Campbell Swe-pstakes, is in & tough spot. So much has been said and written about this one man among 47 in the coin classic that attention has been pulled almost en- tirely away from about a dozen who have an excellent chance to beat him. When the boys line up for the second skirmish tonight at Convention Hall, Brad hardly can help feeling that all eyes are upon him, with much expect-d. He may tighten up. A fact nqt overlooked by Mandley's riva's is that he got a fortunaie break in the first set roll*d at the Coliseum. The draw for drives placed him on his two pet mapleways. Brad is too darned good under any conditions to suit most of them, but it gives his foemen heart to know that tonight he at least will have nothing in his favor -xcept sheer ability, ICKEY WHALEN will toot the| start'ng whistle at 7:30 o'clock. | It is requested that the contest- | onts be on hand 15 or 20 minutes befors | that time to draw for alleys. | This is the first major tournament that finds Charley Walson of Silver Spring up with_the leaders and he it to be feared. Walson is the type of bowler who, when he “gets hot” reaches a white piich. He is 29 sticks behind Mandley. No less dangerous is Astor Clarke, in third place, with 627. Clarke is a new- comer to the sweepstakes. He is in his first year as a big timer. Clarke, to quote a veteran observer who has watched him in independent matches at the Coliseum, has just found himself. “He had the natural ability but not the confidence.” says this critic. “In the last month Astor has been tough among the tough.” Nine besides Mandley shot scores of 600 or better in the opener and none was a fluke. At least two of the leaders have proved themselves capable of beating 700, this figure having been surpassed by Paul Harrison and Eddie Espey under championship conditions.

By the Associated Press. ANN ARBOR, Mich, January 31— A sharp line of demarcation which would make “outlaws” of colleges and universities not subscribing to certain general principles of “athletic rie- ty” is advocated by Prof. RE;‘R?W. Algler i his report as chairman of the board in control of athletics at Univer- sity of Michigan. The principies set forth are in effect | the cardinal rules of the Western Con- ference, in which Prof. ler is the Michigan representative. 'he line of demarcation suggested would circum- scribe the membership of the National Prof. Aigler r-gards as an organization “that ought to take the lead in such a | move as th The veteran faculty athletic official | propoted five rules to which he believes colleges should b> required to subscribe to attain membership in the national organization. They are: 1. Requirement of a full year's residence and earned credit, with no entrance deficiencies, for eligibility. 2. No eligibility after three years of intercollegiate competition. 3. Competition limited to under- graduates. 4. No_intercollegiate foot ball aft- er ths Saturday before Thanksgiving and no more than fivs collegs days’ absence from the home campus dur- ing the season. 5. Effcctive faculty control of ath- letic_activities. Limitation of membership in the na- tional organizaticn to colleges and uni- versities accspting these rules was a vocated on the ground that “this method of separating the sheep from the goats,” the desirables from the un- desirables, has been found productive of much good in other fields. The lacard “outlaw” is one no institution flkel or can afford to wear. Ninety per cent of the present mem- bership or the association, Prof. Aigler estimates, would be eligible under the In another section of his report the Michigan chairman takes digs at the critics of intercollegiate sports, es- pecially foot ball. Foot ball, he says, would indeed be overemphasized if its importance with- in the university with reference to other activitiss were “indicated by the space given to the sport in newspapers as compared to academic interests.” But such, he declared, is not the case. “Students and faculty,” he said, ‘“take their foot ball with a sanity that sur- prises the outsider.” PLAY TWO CLOSE TILTS Close decisions marked play in the Montgomery County High School League n.git. ‘Takoma-Sliver Spring, with Boziezich leading the offensive with 10 points, nosed out Sherwood High School. 20 to 18 on th> Sherwood courteand Bethesd: Chevy Chase eked out a 20 to 19 decision over Rockville when Nichols sunk a foul in the last minuie of an extra period.

ASTERN today again holdg the edge in the tumuluous fight for the public high school basket ball chame pionship series, and the Lincoln Parkers are visioning the title for the first time since 1926, when they finished in a tie for top hon= ors with Central. Eastern won the title outright the last time in 1924, . It was through a hair-raising 3029 triumph yesterday over a desperstely struggling Western team that Eastern gained the undisputed lead for the s6os ond time in the series. The Light Blua head in the first round with against no defeats, but then its next two games to drop into a five= way tie at the end of the first round. Tech defeated Central, 31 to 2 the other game yesterday, but it generally expected today that this- ultimately will be awarded to Central because of the use by Tech of Evereft Johnson. This boy had been inel during the first advisory period, ended yesterday. It is stated ally in the rules that ineligible aths etes becoming eligible may not com: pete in the public high schools hers until the first school day of the fol lowing advisory, which in this instance would be Monday. Coggins Not to Protest. It appears as if the game will be awarded to Central, but the Blue will not protest it, according to Coach Bert Coggins, who feels that it is up to the Tech authorities to take the initiative, Should Central get the game, it would have three wins and three losses in the championship race, to stand third, and still would nave a chance for the flag, while Tech would drop to a last-place tie with Western at two wins and four losses apiece and would be just about out of lge fight for the pennant, which it has won the past two seasons. As it is now, Business stands second, with three wins and two defeats; Tech third, with three victories and as many Central fourth, with two tri- umphs and three setbacks, and West~ ern last, with two wins and four losses, Much of the credit for Tech's win over Central yesterday, its second of the series, is given to Johnson. A fin- ished basketer who in previous seasons has held forth with Tech, he imparted a steadying influence to the team that helped it measurably and played & to get out in front at the end of the third quarter, 19 to 15. Early in the final quarter, though, Tech, with Bernie Reichardt and Buck finding the cords, got ahead again and stayed there. Eastern Forced to Rally. It seemed until almost the very end that Western was destined to overcome Eastern to stage & upset. After trailing from the o] minutes, the boys from Georgetown late in the second quarter to gain a 12-all at half time. They then went on to get out in front, 23 to 16, as the uarter ended. With the end only ew minutes away, however, Eastern again got going and Zola, Kan Lieb zipped in two-pointers, Lieb of 'em, to once scrimmage to tie it up for the last time at 28-28.
