A—10 SPORTS. . -THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, LEVER COLONIALS MEET BALTIMORE American Plays Gallaudet. Hoyas Defeat Pitt—Old Liners Win Twice. BY H. C. BYRD. NIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA'S basket ball team comes here tonight for its second setto of the year with Maryland. The first, played at Charlottesville the middle of Jan- uary. resulted in a 36-t0-31 vic- tory for Maryland only because it was a little better on throws from the line. The Old Line school ex- pects the game to be one of the| most difficult of its schedule. | Al times this Winter Virginia has been almost a woridbeater. It plaved a game againsi Washington and Lee for instance, that was about the acme of good basket ball If the Cavaliers are at their top form tonight, Maryland should consider itself | lucky if it geis away with the long end | of the score “We know that Maryland this vear coach, s we have in some of our games we should stand an even chance against any other college team. I know that we i e V. nia the best quint that ha r' in many years, and we are good basket ball. That say about our prospects.” playing is all I can HREE other local schools are sched- uled in basket ball games tonight, George Washington to entertain the University of Baltimore and Amer- ican University to have Gallaudet as its guest. The Colonials should have little difficulty getting away with their @me and American U. is favored to win over the Kendall Green players George Washington is the only team in the section undefeated. It has been going along with its string of victories, which began before the holidays. and which may be carried through to an undefeat son. Anyway. that is the ultimate result for which followers of the university are hooing In the George Washingion line-up is one man especially who 1s both literally and figuratively head and shoulders above most of the other players in the section. Coach Shipley of Maryland the other day characterized him. Parrack “one of the best men I've seen playi basket ball in this section in a long while and I doubt if he has more than one or two superiors in the whole South.” | MERICAN UNIVERSITY lost for | the first time when it went to Annapolis early this week, but it still is a good basket ball team: and Gallaudet should not expect to find itgelf up against anything but a good team when it takes the ficor tonight. Ja( Virginia, came to town yesterday | to stop over until this morning, when he left to spend the week end with Comdr. Hall. graduate manager of | athletics at the Naval Academy. Comdr. Hall and Driver were classmates at Wil- liam and Mary before the war and have remained the clcsest of personal friends. | Driver is enthusiastic over the situ- ation at Virginia and is willing to sit for hours to talk about what is taking | place there. It is not only over the prospects for intercollegiate athletics that Driver looks for success. but also | #r the development of sports that whould reach nearly all the students. One of Driv was to start the wheel turning to build tennis courts, and as a result 25 new ones were added last Summer and now are being used. New practice fields have been built and also one of the most beautiful stadiums in the coun- try. This will make four vears Driver has been in charge at Virginia. and it | is unlikely that so much in the way | of additional facilities for athletics and physical education ever has been con- structed in such a short time after a man has taken charge at any other institution. \\ GEORGETOWN won an exceptional | basket ball game from Pittsburgh | last night in the Tech High gym- nasium. The Blue and Gray scored first, and then Pitt tied it up at 4-all. and’ from that time until the last whistle blew it was impossible to fore- tell which would be the winner. The score of 33 to 30 shows Georgetown a little superior. and it was. Pittsburgh | came here with a big reputation, but it | did not seem to be entitled to any | greater praise than Georgetown. The Blue and Gray broke its string | of defeats by close scores against West- ern Maryland and that seemed to be | the stimulus it needed.

It wasn't the final day at all, as a matter of fact, for tomorrow, after the games have been closed officially at 3 p.m. with appropri- ate ceremonies, the four-man bobsled drivers, the daredevils who have been luring great crowds here for three days to watch rain fall and snow melt, still have to stage their Olympic champion- ship.

They send in a hurried call for Doc' Ten- neyson when the organization needs help. There is no telling just what the boys will call the Doc in for at any time. And he is always ready to give them a lift For instance, soccer was wabbling around like a delicate kitten which would not take its milk back in 1925. The athletic medicine man took a squint at the bewildering situation, cocked his bon:let over his left ear and went to work. A one-man meeting took place. But it did not nettle the old Doc. No, sir, pals, you do not kncw the resourceful- ness of this man Tennyson. He called another and he had some one to talk 10{to. He was an Englishman, from the British embassy, just as interested in the promotion of the game as Dick. A third confab brought representatives from three countries. Dick supplied an American team and, as a result, the District awoke to find a_soccer league composed of teams from England. Scot- land, Germany angd the good old Etats is. That loop has branched out into the Capital City League with 16 teams in the unlimited age class and no longer depends upon adults m foreign. n: tions to furnish the talent. The old- timers, doing their share toward its bnlllil.nl, stepped down for oncoming youth, In the elementary schools, 120 soccer teams are in action, furnishing the feeding spot for the bigger leagues. The increase in soccer interest since that meeting back in 1925 has grown S0 steadily that it has become one of the chief schoolboy sports. m:.(‘r. Tennyson will take the bow for But Dick is looking farther ahead. He is aiming to have the high schocls of the District take up the sport to give it the status of a major sport. Should that occur, Tennyson’s dream of the . District being & mocoer centex would be re- alized. Dick's boys are members of the Washington and Southeastern District Soccer Association. This body is affil- iated with the United States Foot Ball Association, which makes Tennyson and his District soccer officials something in Ithe game in this section of the country. of the Boston Braves, Tubba O'Farrel. former Holy Cross grid mhnesman; Knocky Thomas, Maryland track and grid luminary, and many others, dur- ing their kid day : | Seventy-five man instructors come under Dick’s eve during the Sum- mer period. Each of these men is a university athlete or a graduate of an institution where they engaged in sports. If Dick was to gather about him some of the star athletes who have helppd him coach the boys of Washington he would be surrounded by a great champion- ship track and field team. Among them would be Bob Legendre, for- mer Georgetown athletic ace and intercollegiate pentathlon winner of 1924; Jimmy Connelly, the inter- collegiate miler: Harry Helm. col- lege 2-mile champion. and Charley West, another pentathlon luminary. ‘This man Tennyson's big kick comes in the Summer when he marshals about 2.300 playground boys into Cen- tral Stadium for the annual schoolboy track and field meet. This event, en- viously watched by ¥ vrounding cities, is the proof of the phdding. It shows just what Dick and his army of coaches | have been doing all yesr. And yet this | is just part of the work, most of it go- ing in to make better, more healthy American citizens. Dick's biggest and most enjoyable task is playing doctor to the kid ath- letic organizations. Give him two boys with an idea and there is another sports organization on the calendar. Show him a boys' organization which is not moving smoothly and Dick will grab his kit and put it upon its feet. Every time I stand upon a street corner talking to a pal I'm afraid Dick Tennyson will come tearing around on eight cylinders to unite us into a sport organization. And he’s always in s hurry, t.o-organizations-to-be-molded behind timve, Point ow to me 2 man who is in a position to do more real good for sports, and is doing it, and Fll go without a hat and wear spats.
