S Eolletgg Hereabout Have Active Night : Fifth Down in Foot Ball Is Proposed BASKET BALL TILTS SCHEDULED FOR SIX Maryland Also Will Stage Boxing Show—Kelley and Widmyer in Dashes. BY H. C. BYRD. 'TH University of Georgia as its opponent in bas- ket ball and Duke Uni- versity in boxing, the University of Maryland tonight siages what should be the most attractive athletic event of the Winter for local colleges. Especially is this true after the surprising victory Maryland scored over North Carolina last night in basket ball. Georgia, it | was thought, should have quite a | margin on the O!d Liners, but that will not be true if the latter play anywhere close to the; standard they set in trimming the Tarheels. ‘Tonight marks about the high-water peint for general cempetition, as every local college is to engage in at least one contest. All six play basket ball| games, four on home floors. Catholi University faces Baltimore University in what may be a difficult game, George Washing.on should have an casy time beating Elcn, while Amezican University | is hoping to avenge tae defeat it suf- feved et the hands of Rancolph-Macon, &t Ashland some time zgo, when ii| meets ihat 1 here.

Widmyer has been working hard in t:ying to improve his first 20 yards, his getaway from the mark, and seems to have succceded a good deal. He will be in competiticn witn most of the best | sprinters in the country, which means in the world, as will Eelly of George- town, entered in the same event. EORGIA'S basket ball team is made up of about as husky a crowd as one ever secs on basket ball floors. ‘The Bulldogs literally fought their way through to a Southern Conference championship last year, and with one cxception they are said to have the same team now. The one man they 1miss is Catfish Smitn, undoubtedly one of the greatest competitive athletes of this generation. DUKE UNIVERSITY has two boXers in its line-up said to be headed for Southern Conference titles. They are Lloyd in the 125-pound class and Sides in the 145-pound. The former will face Carroll and the latter Keener, who have won both the matches they have fought for Maryland this year against Washington and Lee and V. P. 1. One man at Maryland last night, who has been sticking close to the boxing | team all year, remarked that “if we can win two of the first fcur matches we'll ‘beat Duke.” All the basket ball games scheduled here start at 8 o'clock. At Maryland the boxing matches are to begin as soon gs the court tilt winds up. EORGE WASHINGTON may not have it so easy against Elon as it seeks its elghth win in 12 starts. ‘Though slightly regarded as a foot ball power, Elon is rated highly in basket ball circles, and on its last visit to Washington two years ago gave George Washington a hot contest before drop- ping a one-point decision. Coach D. C. Walker has named the following linc-up for the Elon squad, which will make its headquarters at the Annapolis Hotel while in the Capital: Capt. Hughes and Simpson, guards; Johnson, center; Smith and Senter, for- wards. Coaches Pixlee and O'Leary have definitely assigned young Jimmy Howell at forward in the G. W. line-up in place of Wick Parrack, high scoring star who became incligible last week. Howell will team up with Forest Burgess, while the remainder of the Colonial array will be the same as usual. ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY cannot af- ford to take the Baltimore Univer- sity five too lightly. The Monu- mental City schooi has in its line-up some capable players, and if they go at top speed may give the Brooklanders all the trouble they want, and maybe more. The same thing is true of George- town against Loyola over in Baltimore. Randolph-Macon won from American University a short while back by a margin of only 2 points and the latter thinks that the advantage of its own floor should give it just a little better than an even chance for victory tonight. Anywey, American U. thinks it has a good chance to even up for defeat. ARYLAND'S victory over North Carolina by such a big margin was entirely unexpected. From the way Maryland had been going and the brilliant record made by North Carolina, no one expected the Old Liners to do more than nose out if they were able to do that. Yet the Old Liners turned to and simply walked away with the game, 42 to 29. Chase played brilliant basket ball for the local school, perhaps the best of his career. And the general teamwork of Maryland was far better than anything it has shown in previous contests. Maryland got a hot hand right at the outset of the game and after 10 minutes of play had a 14-to-1 lead. Then North Carolina got its first fleld goal and spruced up & bit for the remainder of the half to trail only 9-19 at inter- mission. North Carolina once got as close as 6 points in the last half but the Old Liners spurted again and put the game beyond the reach of the Tarheels. Summary: Maryland (42). North Caro. (20).

EW YORK, February 4—A N new and radical proposal to benefit the offense was submitted for considera- tion at the first meeting of the Rules Committee of the American Foot Ball Coaches’ Assoclation here toaay. On the eve of the coaches’ gathering the Eastern Assoclation of Intercolle- glate Foot Ball Officials suggested that the team in possession of the ball be iven five downs instead of four when de either its own or the opposing 20-yard line. g ‘The officlals feel that the proposal not only would produce more lcm, but also would be a distinct aid to = pressed teams recovering the ball inside their own 20-yard line. S*YJJITH & touchdown in sight,” Ed Thorp, prominent New York official, explained, “each remain- as the goal line is ap- proached, making it practically ime possible to gain the required distance through running plays, when teams are anywhere near evenly matched. This, we feel, can be corrected b{n giving the attacking side an extra play in each series of downs while within this zone.” Although aimed specifically at aiding the oiense, the pre also help teams pusl far back into their own territory. A team holding the ball within its own 20-yard line, Thorp said, “is so limited in its choice of plays that it often kicks on the second down and is practically forced to kick on the third down.” “If given an extra play in each series of downs while in this zone,” Thorp continued, “we believe that it would tend to remove that restriction, thereby | encouraging and justifying the starting of a march.” N addition to discussing this pro- posal, the Coaches' Rules Com- mittee, an_advisory body, will con- sider Pop Warner's suggestion that a point be scored for each first down, Dick Hanley's recommenda=- tion to allow forward passing from | any pjoint behind the scrimmage line, | Tuss McLaughry's restricted “dead | ball” zone. and a plan to remove the | ball sutomatically from the side-lines without the neccessity of wasting a dovn in running the ball outside. | “'The meeting specifically is for the | purpose of instructing the coaches’ dele- | pates to the Natfonal Foot Ball Rules vhich will convene n- Columbia, Nobls Kizer of Purdue. and These delegatez.
