PAGE C—1 Hoya Relay to Run in Millrose Games : Coaches Are in Favor of Curb on Pass GREEN .0, EAN T0IADE ARDEN Coach Really Building for| Next Season—Maryland | at Navy Tomorrow. | BY H. C. BYRD. EORGETOWN will enter a G relay team in the Millrose games in Madison Square Garden, New York, a weck from tomorrow night. When It began practice, the Blue and Gray had little thought that it would make any entries in indoor track meets this Winter, except to send Al Kelley to take part in sprint races, but the team has come along better than expected and the opportunity to compete was grasped without hesitation. According to present information, Georgetown'’s opponents in the race will be New Hampshire State College, Villa- nova and Northeastern University. On the face of it these schools do not | measure up to the kind of competition Georgetown relay teams in prP\'lous[ years have been entering. but, on the other hand. Georgetown does not have | that kind of a team this year. Then, | too. there may be more competition in group than oidinarily might be Jooked for. Villanova, for instance, last season had a great freshman four, and if those men are now in uniform as varsity runners, then the race is al- most as good as won | Al Kelley will be in the meet in the sprint event, but also will be a member of the relay. probably to run as lead- off man is one of the two or hree fastest sprinters in the East, but has had no experience running the quarter mile. However, Coach Jimmy Mulligan says that any man big and fast can run a quarter if he really buckles down and tries. “We are not going to send to New York a team such as has worn George- town colors the last 10 years, as we simply do not have the runners,” Coach Mulligan, “but we are beginning to build from the ground up, and what- ever we develop this season will be so much done in preparation for next year. | I don't know what our team may do, as we shall not have trials until Sun- day or Monday. but possibly it may get down as low as 3:34, which is some- | thing like 12 or more seconds more than | Georgetown teams have done the mile at the Garden. I don't know who will be on the team, except that Kelley is pretty certain to make it if he runs| anywhere near as well as he is capable of running. While we may not—prob- | ably will not—win, I welcome-the- op- I portunity to throw our men into formal | competition, as that is the best way of developing them and giving them ex- perience I know anything of.” | ARYLAND'S basket ball team tilts | with Navy tomorrow at Annapolis. The Old Liners, rebuffed by Catho- Mc University Wednesday night, may be in a sterner humor to face Navy than if they had won from the Brooklanders. Maryland played good basket ball against C. U, but simply did not stand the gaff when it came to rough, hard play in the second half. And this is 2 failing the Old Liners will have to rectify before tomorrow afternoon, be- cause nobody has ever accused Navy| teams of being of the pink tea kind. However, Maryland may put up a bet- ter basket ball game against the Mid- shipmen than the latter look for. Any- | way, if the game measures up to games between Navy and Maryland in recent | years, it will be a nip-and-tuck struggle, with very little margin for the victor. Maryland and Navy have broken even et four-all in the eight games they have played in as many years, but the old‘ Liners have wen three out of the last | four. All games except last year's were played at Annapolis. Visiting College Park last January to help dedicate | Ritchie Coliscum, Navy was defeated, | 26 to 15. ‘The complete record: 1925—Navy, 23; Maryland, 16. 1926—Maryland, 21; Navy, 12. 1927—Navy, 32; Maryland, 30. 1928—Navy, 35; Maryland, 26. 1929—Maryland, 30; Navy, 27 (extra | period). 1930—Maryland, 43; Navy, 39. 1931—Navy, 36; Maryland, 33. 1932—Maryland, 26; Navy, 15. ALLAUDET goes over to American University tomorrow night for the | only game scheduled on a local | floor. The Kendall Greeners have not been playing as good basket ball as the Fi]agles, and the odds seem to be against | them. | ASHINGTON COLLEGE, at least, i is one school that does not think base ball is dying. It plans to take up the sport again this year, with @ view to abolishing lacrosse after this year and carrying on base ball there- after as its main Spring sport. Tom Kibler. athletic director at the Eastern Shore school. says that he believes base ball is a much more desirable Spring | sport at his school than lacrosse, largely | because most of the boys that go there | have had experience in high school base | ball and none in lacrosse. | HE Poot Ball Rules Committee is to | meet the third week in February. | and its members, especially the isory Committee of Coaches, are active right now in getting to- gether suggestions from all sections of | the country as to possible changes. However, if the sentiment expressed by many members of the committee may | be accepted as an indication of which | way the wind is blowing, there should be little tampering with the code. In all probability, fewer changes may be made this year than in any previous season in the history of the game. KENDALL SCHOOL HOST Basket Ball Team Will Play New Jersey Quint Tomorrow.

EW YORK, January 27.—Unlike | some of his predecessors, Eric Ny has come to this country fully prepared for the “crowd- ing” and “elbowing” that are part and parcel of American indoor foot racing. The 23-year-old Swede, fifth in the Olympic 1,500-meter Tun, arrived yes- terday for his American indoor cam- said | pajgn and announced he had been | practicing in Sweden for several months on a board track, 110 yards to the lap with sharply banked turns. After a week or so, Ny said, the turns failed to bother him, so he gathered together a dozen Swedish runners to work out with him and give him rac- ing experience. Now he is confident he will be able to handle himself in any “jam” growing out of a closely-run race. Other foreign stars, notably Dr. Otto Peltzer of Germany, have come here in the past without any preparation and Tound “board-track racing a complete puzzle to them. Ny will run in the Wanamaker mile | at the Millrose meet February 4; the Baxter mile of the New York A. C. games, February 18, and the 1,500- meter run in the National A. A. U. championships, February 25. All three meets will be held in Madison Square Garden.

CENTRAL IS SEEN AS BACK IN FORM [Shows More Life in Beating | Maryland Frosh—St. John’s, Gonzaga to Clash. OLLOWERS of the Central High basket ball team are feeling quite chipper today. They figure that the 36-30 win scored by the Blue Streaks over the University of Maryland Freshmen yesterday was just what the doctor ordered. Without taking a bit of credit from the valiant Eastern team for the magnificent 35-34 upset triumph it achieved over Central Tuesday, the | Streaks plainly were off color in that | game. The strain of maintaining their straight victory string, which had reached 20, plainly was having its ef- | fect. Orrel Mitchell, one of the officials, | seid he noticed the strained condition | of the team, being particularly struck with the tenseness of Buddy Nau. In defeating the Old Line yearlings, Central, wbile still not up to its best | form, showed appreciable improvement | over its work in the Eastern battle, and | those who follow the Blue believe that the Streaks profited much psychologi- cally by the victory and now are certain to win the remainder of their public high title games, which means they can do no worse than finish the regular schedule tied with Eastern. A deadlock will mean a one-game play-off, ties being played off in all public high sports except foot ball. Central led the Maryland Frosh from the first stages, but was extended to the limit by the improving Old Liners. The yearlings rallied in the third quarter to get within two points of the schoolboys at 27-25. but the latter came back in the final going to clinch victory. | Buddy Nau and Bill Burke with 12 (and 10 points were high scorers for | | the winners, while Fred Scheele and Bernie Buscher did most of the losers’ sniping.

SHAUGHNESSY LIKELY SUCCESSOR TO STAGG Former Coach at Loyola of New Orleans Is Prominent Among Candidates for Job. | 22225~0a040 | smsszwmmise: By the Associated Press. HICAGO, January 27.—Clark Shaughnessy, for several years foot ball coach at Loyola Univer- sity, New Orleans, today was reported to be among the leading candidates as successor to A. A. Stagg at the Uni- versity of Chicago. Reports said that Thomas N. Met- calf, who will succeed Stagg as di- rector of athletics when the latter is retired next June, had trimmed his list of eligibles down to four, Shaughnessy being among them. When the appoint- ment of a coach will be made was not known except that whoever gets the place will have to be on the ground in time to supervise Spring practice. Shaughnessy is a University of Min- nesota graduate and was mentioned last year when the Gophers were seek- | ing a successor to H. O. (Fritz) Crisler. Varied Sports COLLEGE BASKET BALL.

U. Basket Ball Team Go Berserk in Maryland Battle. BY TOM DOERER. R. FOD COTTON'S Catholic University basket ball outfit stepped out of cast in the game against University of Maryland to add to its great de- fensive skill the wildest, hair-raising attack the boys in the stands have seen in a long while. And nobody expected it. Even Mr. Burt Shipley of Mary- land admitted days ago that the Cardinals had the finest defensive floor team in this, or any other bailiwick.” If you score on these boys you have earned it,” he said to his pupils. Basket Ball Tips BY JOE GLASS. LACING its five men in a “cup” position, Pittsburgh, under the clever “Red” Carlson, is using a “figure 8” offense which is bring- ing results. This offensive, by the way, gets its name from the fact that Pitt may try to work a play from one side of the court, and if it doesn’t pan out, then swing over and try the same thing on the other side. The action of the ball forms a sort of double loop that might be described as corresponding to an 8. In the play diagrammed above, the result is shown as successful. Guard (4) passes to center (1). Forward (2) feints to the outside before the pass, but comes back toward the free throw lane as the is made. Having made the pass, 4Vollows the ball, driving toward 1 in such a way that he pulls his own defensive man into the path of 2’s defensive man, blocking him. With 2 thus freed in the free throw lane, 1 passes to him and 2 has a chance for a short shot. No. 1's defensive man very likely wili shift to guard him, but often | | | So while the cash customers and the boys from Maryland expected to see the Cardinals give a splendid ex- hibition of their specialty, Uncle Fod Cotton was mapping out a little plan which showed he was not thinking along the same lines. “Do what they do not expect,” Uncle Fod was saying to his boys, who, for one whole half, were hold- ing back their daring attack on the wicker basket. When the second half got under way Cotton had his men all prepped to do, die or shoot for the rafters for dear old C. U. And they did. When the ball was not hitting two customers out on the stairway, it was smacking down a few of the trade in the far corners. And when it was not doing that it was rimming the basket or settling in. So you can see why Maryland was nosed out in a hectic game of basket ball which could be given several other names, But the story is this: Mr. Fod Cotton, great believer in a cool, heady game of toss the basket ball, turned floor bolshevist because he knew that no one would expect a careful, well-tutored set of players to go berserk. And he knew that while Burt Shipley was trying to figure who put the pepper in the Cards’ drinking water, after the first half, the boys from Brookland would be scoring a few times in the wild trys. Mr. Cetton lathers Babe Gearty, Gene Augusterfer and Ed White with & lot of praise. And he slaps it all over the whole team. So Mr. Cotton, who is likely to have something else up his sleeve, is getting his boys ready for a tilt with the Quantico Marines And there will be plenty of wild shooting again if Fod causes the Marines to get the habit, too.

V. M. 1. FIVE IN PATH OF CAROLINA TEAMS Duke University Must Take Tilts With Cadets to Make Own Battle Bright. URHAM, N. C. January 27.—If Duke and Carolina, at present en- gaged in a Big Five race that has no parellel in the history of State bas- ket ball, are able to hurdM the big obstacle”that lies in their paths this week end, their engagement at Duke next Tuesday night will be for the lead in the Southern Conference as well as the North Carolina race. The big obstacle is the V. M. I. cage team, said to be the best to repre- sent the Cadet institution in several years, which invades the State to meet the Tar Heels at Chapel Hill tonight and the Blue Devils in Durham tomor- row evening. To make the next Tuesday Duke- Carolina battle one for the lead in both_State and conference races, both the Tar Heels, atop the Southern Con- ference as well as tied with the Devils for the State lead, and the Duke five will have to down the Cadets. In that case, Duke would advance to third, where the Cadets are now holding | forth, and be within striking distance | of_their neighbors. While the Cadet-Blue Devil cage | game is the night feature of tomor- row’s program at Duke, the North Carolina State-Duke boxing engage- ment in the afternoon is drawing a large share of attention. The Devil | pugs will be some stronger when they | | face the wolf pack than they were in | the opener with Virginia due to the | recent addition of Artie Ershler of | gridiron fame, as the middleweight. Undefeated as a freshman boxer, Ershler, his grid days over, has re- turned to ring. Bill for Lipstick Stirs Sport Head 'OLUMBUS, Ohio, January 27 (). —L. W. St. John, the usually placid director of athletics at Ohio State, was checking over the month’s statement in his office. Suddenly, the coaches, assistants, secretaries and stenographers in ad- joining offices were startled by a loud growl. They rushed to the di- rector’s office. Frantically waving a bill for a supply of lipstick, St. John jumyped up and demanded to know: “Why don’t we get he-man athletes here instead of a bunch of sissies?” He hurriedly calmed down when a coach explained the lipstick was used by the fencing team on the tips of foils, sabers and epees 50 & “touch” may be noticed on the white uniform of an opponent. Worl’t be long now before they ‘go back to $8 and $9! THINK RULES BODY APT T0 HEED PLEA Sentiment Against Free Use of Overhead Play Known to Exist on Board. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, January 27— There is reason to believe that suggestions concern- ing changes in rules cov- ering the forward pass in foot ball, shortly to be made by the Committee of Twenty, will find the Foot Ball Rules Committee in a receptive mood. Feeling is shown to exist among the rulemakers that something should be done to restrict the free use of the overhead play, especially in its shoe- string aspects, and, indeed. this atti- tude is so pronounced in some quarters that with any public encouragement some very drastic measures might be adopted. As it is, the chances seem to be that the 1933 game will see some marked changes in the conditions under which the passing game may be played. One proposal which already has come before the Rules Committee relates to the prevention of running with the ball after a forward pass has been caught. This would prevent injuries which now ensue from tackling a receiver when powerless to protect himself and would also check those long-distance touch- downs which a team has not really earned by progressive offensive ma- neuvers. It is known that the idea has received sympathetic attention officially, although what will come of it eventu- ally may not be said. This “Committee of Twenty” is com- posed of well known foot ball coaches, Lou Little being chairman. It was formed at the foot ball coaches’' con- vention in New York last month as an alternative action to the original proj- ect of demanding that the association be represented on the rules bodv. A number of interesting proposals re- garding changes in the forward pass have already been devised by this com- mittee, and early next month they will be incorporated, together with further suggestions, in a formal report to the Rules Committee.
