SPORTS. UUINTETS APPEAR EVENLY MATCHED Shipley, Old Liners’ Mentor, Praises Defensive Skill of Cardinals. C morrow night in what should be one of the best basket ball games of the local season. And from a standpoint of attendance, it may go ahead of any other. The game is to take place in the C. U. gymnasium at 8:15. Last year, when Maryland had one of the best quints in the country, it won from C. U. in a good contest, 39 to 34. The year before that it got a victory by only four points, and indications are that the meeting tomorrow night should be just as closely contested. Probably Catholic University has a better chance to win tomorrow that it had either last year or the year before. The Brooklanders have available the same men, led by White and Sheary, who served as buiwarks of the team in the last two seasons. Sheary and White still hold regular berths, but three others of those who played in most of the games last season have been relegated to the reserve list by recruits from the 1932 freshman squad. C. U. has been playing much better basket ball this season, while it is cer- tain that Maryland is not up to stand- ard of 1932, However, Maryland is anything but a soft spot for any op- ponent, and the competition tomorrow night is likely to be just as keen as it ever has been. URTON SHIPLEY, coach at Mary- land, says that in his opinion Catholic University has one of the strongest defensive teams in the coun- try. From games he has watched, Catholic University is about as hard to score on as any team he has seen in years, according to what Shipley said in talking of the possibilities of his game tomorrow with the Brooklanders. “Forest Cotton hay developed one ot the best defensive ket ball teams T've ever seen,” said Shipley, “and when & team gets a basket against his outfit it is earned. I've seen C. U. rlly twice | this season and it has been a long while since I've seen a team go better on de- fense. Personally, I do not look for Maryland to play any tougher games this year than it will find itself in tomorrow night in the big gymnasium at Brookland.” N anticipation of an exceptionally large crowd, Athletic Director Berg- man of C. U. is having additional knockdown bleachers installed. He ex- pects to be able to seat several hundred more spectators than usually put in their appearance for games at Brook- BY H. C. BYRD. ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY and Maryland meet to- nan expects one of the biggest that have watched a court game re in several seasons, and the C.

"HE next double bill of boxing and basket ball scheduled at Maryland is a week from the coming Satur- day night, and it should be the most ctive of the year. 0 meet Georgia in basket ball and Duke in boxing. Georgia has practically the same bas- ket ball team with which it last year won the Southern Conference cham- pionship, while Duke defeated Virginia Polytechnic Institute in boxing by the same score by which Maryland won Saturday night, 6 to 2. Other double bills at Maryland during the Winter are Virginia Military Insti- tute in boxing and Washington and Lee in basket ball, February 11; Western Maryland in both basket ball and box- ing, February 18, and St. John's in box- ing and Hopkins in basket ball, Feb- Tuary 22. HATEVER may be the outlook on boxing in other schools, there is indication at Maryland that it is becoming one of the most popular sports. Probably it is the old story of love for physical contact, but whatever the rea- son it is being well received at the Old Line school. The sport is being well handled, and 80 far as Maryland is concerned there 15 no ground for some of the criticisms that have been aimed at it at other places. DUNBAR BEATS ARROWS.

TUESDAY, FINE SPIRIT RU[ES IN SCHOOL SERIES Sportsmanship Much Better Than in Past—Tossers Keeping Busy. BY E. A. FULLER, JR. REFRESHING feature about the current public high school basket ball championship series 18 the good sportsmanship being shown both among the players and the coaches. It has not always been thus. It was not so many years ago, it was recalled today by one who knows what he is talking about, when the players of the rival public high teams loathed each other and made no pretense of hiding their feelings. Of course, there is little display of affection among the boys in the heat of battle now, but at least the players, as a general proposi- tion, keep themselves well under control. EVERAL times in this series players have been involved in rough scrim- mages in which something more than their feelings must have been hurt. But instead of making for their oppo- nents they have managed to grin and pass it by. Whether this is because the boys, held down by the tight rules of the game as now played, believe such conduct to be the part of the wis- dom, as of course it is, IM control their feelings only because of this, may be true. It is the general beltef, thoulh um. the players now are much better '!'here was a time, too, when coaches were wont to publicly shake their fists in one another’s face. Perhaps, they desire most fervently to commit may- hem on their brother tutor’s physiog- nomy now, but they mai to control their feelings and their fists. All of which is very fine. The sum of the situation is that basket without having lost one whit of its flame and fire. Most of the rough stuff that do': crop out arises among the spec- tators. unmcmfl-m High basketers and St. John's face tonight at Ballston at 7:45 o'clock. A boxing exhibition will precede the contest. Perhaps the brighest games on tomor- row's court cards are those slated be- tween Emerson and Roosevelt at Roose- velt and Georgetown Prep and Episcopal at Alexandria. Other matches are the Georgetown freshmen-Tech tilt at Tech, the Alex- andria-Eastern _encounter at Eastern, the Landon-Bethesda-Chevy Chase game at Leland, the Kendall 8chool-Friends tiff at Friends and the Washington- Lee-Takoma-Silver Spring contest at Silver Spring. Main interest in the public high series today centered in the second game of the double header at_Tech, bringing to- gether Central and Eastern. Roosevelt and Western face in the opener at 3:30 o'clock to start second-round play in the series. ASKET ball as it is being played this season in the public high schools has it all over the game as it is being played among the prep schools in the District area, if “the handy 31-17 win scored yesterday by ‘Central, figured the best public high quint, over Georgetown Prep, rated at about the top of the prep school whirl, is a real indication.

As is the case with Sam Rice, the Man O'War of the Nationals' out- field, and as was the case with Ty Cobb, the American League's great- est pair of legs, Frankie has taken care of his underpinning in the be- lief that when his walking ap- rnhs begins to show the strain of lime and work he is ready for the trip out.

EW YORK, January 24— Something very drastic is brewing in Southern in. tercollegiate athletics. It relates to the investigation of con- ditions which the Southern Con- ference has asked the Southern Association of Colleges and Sec- ondary Schools to make concern- ing the conduct of sports in that section. Now this association is the educa- tional Mn&rflmnl organization for the enun In calling mznuon a few days ago to the action of the Southern Confer- ence, the writer's impression was that the investigation will cover only the schools of the Southern Conference. This is not at all the case. The in- vestigation will be thorough and com- prehensive. It will include, among other institu- tions, the 13 colleges and universities which withdrew from the parent body, the Southern Conference. And look out for fireworks, difference between the investiga- tion which the Southern Confer- ence has asked the Southern As- sociation to conduct and the athletic scholarship ban which the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools has just reaffirmed is very ma- terial and extremely important.
