WITH SUNDAY MORNING: EDITION PAGE C—1 Every Local College Basket Ball Team Y/ill See Action During Busy Week End AL SIX TO PLAY TONORROW NIGHT Maryland Opens Fire With Game Against Tarheel Quintet Tonight. BY H. C. BYRD. HAT probably is the big- gest week end of the year for local colleges in athletics is scheduled to- night and tomorrow night, with every institution active, some of them in two sports and one in three. Two basket ball games are listed tonight and six tomor- row night. One school has, in addition, a boxing match and two are entered in a track meet. Maryland and Galiaudet have basket ball games tonight, the rormer at Col- lege Park and the latter at East Orange, N. J. North Carolina, with one of the strongest teams in its history comes here to meet Maryland, while Upsala College is to be Gallaudet's opponent. The Old Liners have not been doing anywhere near as well as North Carolina, but hope to put up a good fight. One ray of hope for the Jocal school lies in the fact that the only game lost by Carolina this year was dropped to Duke this week, and early in January Maryland also whip- ped Duke. Tomorrow night five basket ball | games are listed on local floors and one away. Gecrgetown is the only school that sends its five to a foreign court, to meet Loyola at Baltimore. George Washington entertains Elon College, Gallaudet has Baltimore University, American University has for its guest Randolph-Macon and Maryland is to face the University of Georgia. George w gton should be an easy victor but all the other schools probably will have thelr difficulties. MARY‘L.AN‘D has a boxing match scheduled with Duke University.

By the Associated Press. New York. The Blue and Gray is tg A anchor man on the relay, will run the invitation 60-yard meters. Mary- 1and has not entered a relay team and will be represented by only one man, Widmyer, in the invitation dash. North Carolina and Georsia, which play Maryland in basket ball tonight and tomorrow night, were, respectively, runner-up and winner in ‘the Southern Conference basket ball tournament at Atlanta last year. On the North Caro- lina team is George Brandt, former Central High School star. AMER!CAN UNIVERSITY is ahxious to test its strength against Ran- dolph Macon, because down at Ashland a short while back the local school went down before that five by & 2-point margin. Coach Walter Young beleves that his men have a good chance to win this time, Georgetown and Catholic University should beat Loyola and Baltimore Uni- versity, but may not. The two Balti- more schools are strong enough to cause a lot of trouble, although neither seems to be quite as good as the local schools 1t is to meet. Gallaudet, after playing Upsala Col- lege tonight in the second game of its three-day trip, goes up to Brooklyn to- morrow night to play Long Island Uni- versity. 'EORGETOWN probably will be in faster company tomorrow night in racing against Brown and Ford- ham than it would have been had it remained in an event with New Hamp- shire State, Northeastern University and Villanova, as was originally in- tended, but the Blue and Gray prob- ably would rather lose to these schools than to win from some of the others. This is not intended as a reflection on the institutions against which the Blue and Gray was first scheduled to Tace, but they simply do not offer the kind of competition Georgetown has been engaged in the last few years. For Georgetown to go North with a re- lay team and lose to New Hampshire State or Northeastern would mean that ltwulodngtnnchssmwhlchintot- Kun no one would even have &houg t of placing it. To lose to either Brown or Fordham # to lose to a team of about the same caliber as the teams against which Georgetown has been competing for years, and that would mean nothing except that in this year Georgetown was not quite good enough. It would Dot mean that Georgetown had drop- ped a good deal from a former high UESTIONS raised about Princeton’s cancellation of several games in its various Spring schedules are answered in the report of its athletic finances. The Tigers simply are in a like position with a great many other institutions, they have been losl.ng Money in the last two years. Princeton deficit for 1931-32, Whlnh means_the deficit which accrued with the athletic year that ended last June, was something over $98,000, and no university athletic association can stand such inroads on its income and continue in business any more than could a private concern. In all probability the financial situation this year is not as good as it was last, which may mean further curtailment of activities than now is anticipated. Princeton probably is doing what every other college is, retrenching and reorganizing its athletic system so that it can operate within a diminished in- this is not easy. For the couang the prices of athletic goods, biggest thing in the way of com- mncmy purchases they make, have not come down, but actually are higher, ially with the 10 per cent tax m on_last year. mmxmmmnmhmm:; ‘West have not dropped either, although the Southern roads are offering special rates to college teams, which lower rates are helping » good deal in maintaining 2 o #5025k 8o OB FETZER, North Carolina track coach, is of the opinion | all records made under the name of the Southern Confer- ence should continue a part of its track history, even though many institutions having a part in the creation of these marks have seceded and formed the Southeastern group. Most coaches in both the Southern and Southeastern loops agree with Petzer. Nine of the 15 records of the Southern Conference “were made by athletes representing institutions now in_the Southeastern Conference. ‘The records are: uo-ynd high hurdles—Moreau of isiana State; 14.9 seconds. 440-yard dash—Joyce, Alabama; 49 uconda 880-yard run—Gees, Kentucky; 1 minute 55.8 seconds. 220-yard dash—Hamm, Georgia Tech; 21.2 seconds.

ITTSBURGH, February 3.— P Warning against proposed rule changes to restrict the forward | pass, Howard Harpster, appointed head grid coach at Car- negie Tech, said today that such ac- tion would restore the “push-and-pull” tactics of the bene-crushing era. ‘The Coaches’ Committee is consider- ing recommending to the Rules Com- mittee that a 5 to 15 yards penalty be | imposed for two incomplete passes in a series of downs. ‘This, says Harpster, brilliant Tech quarterback of 1928 and coach at Gen- | eva College for the last several seasons, “will bring back the ‘old army game’ of two line plays or end runs, then a pass and a kick. S*JF a pass is attempted on the first or second down and fails, then| the defense, knowing that another | air heave will not be tried, can mass its men on the line to pile up a run- ning charge.” Harpster opposes the suggestion to permit passes from any point behind the scrimmage line, instead of restrict- ing them to 5 yards back, asserting this would impose too heavy a burden on the defense and change the game to basket ball. EAGLES AFTER REVENGE Hope to Square 38-Point Beating Dealt by Passon Pros. Aero Eagles will seek revenge Sun- day when they take the George Wash- ington University basket ball court at 3 o'clock against the Passon Pros of Philadelphia. Earlier in the campaign the Quner City quint conquered the Birds by three points. Buoyed by their lone point win over the Lustine-Nicholson team in the first game of their series, the Birds are fig- ured at the top of their game and have high hopes of taking the Passon outfit.

ASTERN may have the services until next February, at least, of the group of crack athletes who came to the school last February from Gongzaga, it was learned today. They have been expected to graduate in June. While the former students of the I street school have done well scho- lastically, at Eastern, there is doubt as to whether they will be given their diplomas the coming Spring, because of uncertainty as to how far they had | progressed when they entered the Lincoln Park school. Should the group return to Eastern in September, the Indians again will have available for foot ball Keegin, Benjamin, Nolan and Joe Mills, all of whom were outstanding last season, Nolan and Mills also are members of the basket ball squad, as are Perusso and Fitzgerald, others who came to Eastern from Gonzaga. The Indians, who play their last scheduled game today in the public high school title series against Tech, will lose by graduation in June, Waters and | Bassin, forwards, and Bayliss, guard, all | leading piayers. Even if the boys who | used to hold forth for Gonzaga are not |still on hand, Eastern will have back Davis, Dean and Edelin, seasoned players all, and Millar.
