Is Basket Ball Leader. Terps Shine in Variety of Endeavors. ITH brilliant records in basket ball and base ball, and a commendable sea- son on the gridiron, George Washington University garnered a major portion of athletic honors in the Washington college group during the year rapidly ending. Winning its last 11 games after dropping the first two, George Wash- ington's base ball team stood out, although closely pressed by a flashy University of Maryland nine, which won 14 games out of 19 played. Georgetown also enjoyed considerable success on the diamond. On the basket ball court the Colo- nials paralleled their seasons of 1932 and 1931 by winning 11 games and losing only four, running second only to Catholic University in games won and lost. The Cardinals, numbering a great Navy team among their vic- tims, annexed 13 games while drop- ping four. Marylend won 11 out of 18: Georgetown won 12 and lost 11; Gallaudet lost a few more than was won, and American University went through the campaign ‘with only one | victory. Howard University had a successful season that was climaxed by the winning of the Colored In- tercollegiate Athletic ~ Association championship. Grid Season Fruitful, N FOOT ball, which featured the I college sports year, as usual. ‘Washington teams fared well, col- lectively. Whereas they dropped a large majority of their collective games the year previous, the six schools— Catholic U, Maryland, George ‘Washington, Georgetown, American U, and Gallaudet—turned in 23 vic- tories, dropped 23 decisions, and tied four. seven victories as against three de- feats, but George Washington, tackling stiffer opposition, also en- joyed a good season with six wins, three losses, and a tie, bowing only to Louisiana State, Vanderbilt and North Dakota. The Louisiana State and Vanderbilt games were the high lights of the local season Catholic University turned out an- other winning team, but Georgetown was the big surprise. The Hoyas, who lost eight out of nine in 1933, reeled off three straight wins and tied N.| Y. U. before losing to Richmond by a point. Crippled by injuries, George- town’s eleven was forced to suffer two more defeats—by Maryland and Western Maryland—although these defeats were offset in some measure by a win over Roanoke, which boosted the average to better than .500. Catholic U.'s record of four wins, three losses, and a tie, was a duplicate of Georgetown’s. Gallaudet and American U. finished with only one victory apiece, the Eagles drop- ping five, and Gallaudet losing six, | but gaining a tie in another, Terps Top Boxing, Prack. Maryland again was the leader in college boxing in this vicinity and turned out a formidable track team. In the ring the Old Line leather- peggers won six dual meets and lost only two, Army and Washington and | Lee nosing out Coach Jack Harmony's boys. Stewart McCaw, light-heavy- weight, won the Southern Conference 175-pound championship in the an- nual tournament at Charlottesville. Catholic University again turned out a good boxing team and gained &n _even break in four matches. On the track Maryland finished sec- ond to Navy in the Catholic University indoor meet, staged after a lapse of | a year, Georgetown won the open events. Maryland also won five of seven dual meets. was third in the Southern Conference championships and supplied the District’s leading trackman in Earl Widmyer, who won the 100-meter dash in the Penn relays and the 100-yard outdoor and 60-yard indoor Southern Conference sprint titles. Catholic University and How- ard also made creditable showings in the Penn relays, the Cards’ relay team finishing second in its class and the Bisons running second in the colored division. Grover Everett, Washington boy running for Virginia, won the 110- meter high hurdlés in the Penn relays. ‘The only school to sponsor lacrosse, Maryland earned an even break in seven games, winning three, losing as many and tying one. A formidable swimming team represented George ‘Washington. Many Individual Stars.

OHIO STATE QUINT IS CAPABLE OUTFIT| Terps’ Rival for Next Saturday Has Won All of Its Three Games This Season. OLUMBUS, Ohio, December 22.— Ohio State’s basket ball team, which meets Temple at Phila- delphia December 28 and Maryland | at College Park December 29 on an | Eastern holiday jaunt, is 2 capable out- fit but needs a tall center. Since the departure of Bill Hosket, star of Ohlo State’s last Western Con- ference championship team in 1933, the Buckeyes have been handicapped by the lack of a tall pivot man. Earl Thomas, Augie George and Sam Bu- sich are being used at the job, with the last named showing the most promise, He is slightly over 6 feet tall and was one of the star ends on the Buckeye foot ball squad. Outstanding members of the team are Capt. Bill Beitner and Inwood Smith, guards, and Bruce Laybourne, forward. Smith, who also plays guard on the foot ball squad, is a sophomore and ‘has shown to advantage in Ohio State’s first three games, all victories. In the Buckeyes last start against Carleton, Beitner and Smith limited the opposition to two baskets, both long shots. Warren Whitlinger and “Red” Wil- son, forwards, and “Tippy” Dye, dim- inutive guard, are others who are rat- ed as regulars.

ANSAS CITY, December 22.— Hinting at a return of the big ooom days of foot ball, half of the Big 8ix Conference schools marked up new all-time attendance records in the 1934 gridiron campaign. Nebraska lost its championship, but |drew an unprecedented aggregate crowd of 211,725, Kansas State's gradual rise from the ranks to the championship built up a following of 85318. Iowa State's ill-fated championship boom rocketed the cyclone stock, and the customers for the season num- bered approximately 83,000. Among the big game crowds were: 38,000, Nebraska-Minnesota; 35,000 Nebraska-Pitt; 24,700 Iowa State-Ne- braska. Nebraskas increase over 1933 was | approximately 50,000, Ooin Increase Not Great. HE amount of gate receipts was unannounced but apparently it was below the high levels of foot duced top prices and bargains offered to knot-holers and other siadia-filles groups. In one of the most disastrous cans- paigns ever waged by Missouri, the Tigers were reported to have drawn approximately 86,000, an increase of 4,000 spectators over 1933.

ASTERN gained most honors in public high school competi- tion in the four major sports during 1934. The Lincoln Parkers won titles in base ball and basket ball. In track Tech was an easy winner and in foot ball no cham- pionship was awarded, the series be- ing discontinued because of fist fights among players in the Tech-Western game, In landing the diamond crown, Eastern showed a return to usual form. In 1933 Tech was the cham- pion, but prior to that the Lincoln Parkers virtually had monopolized the title for nearly a decade. Eastern won four straight games. Eastern started unimpressively in the basket ball series, losing its first game to Tech by 34-30. That was the Lincoln Parkers' only defeat and in their second clash with Tech they won handily, 49-27. Eastern alsp cap- tured the second annual Metropolitan District play-off among public high championships teams of the District; nearby Virginia and Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties in Maryland. The Lincoln Parkers walloped Wash- ington-Lee High from nearby Virginia and then, after Mount Rainier, Prince Georges titlist, had climinated Be- thesda-Chevy Chase High, Montgom- ery County standard bearer, the East- erners walloped the Mounts to win The Star Cup, presented by Walter Johnson, Cleveland manager. Indi- vidual medals to members of the | Eastern and Mount Rainler teams also were awarded by The Star, Tech Best in Track. Tech, with one of the strongest, if not the strongest, team in its history, walked away with the public high track meet, piling up 812 points to 221, for the second-place Eastern contingent. Tech also won overwhelm- ingly in the University of Maryland scholastic meet and the “C” Club games. Tech athletes broke all four of the records that fell in the public high meet. The most notable per- formance was that of the McKinley relay team of Theis, Lank, Green and | Hayden in winning the mile relay in | 3 minutes 28 seconds. This lowered the previous mark, made back in 1926 | also by a Tech team, by 3 4-5 seconds. Letoy Green, who ran the 440 in | 512-5 seconds; Monroe Emmerich, who stepped the 220-yard low hurdles in 261-5, and Bill Morrisette, Who heaved the shot 49 feet 3!2 inches, | were the others to better marks. It was the second straight year Tech has won the public high affair, Macfarland athletes triumphed in the annual junior high school cham- pionship meet, scoring 49 points to 37 for the runner-up Paul aggrega- tion. Tech doubtless would have won the foot ball championship had the series | been finished. The Gray, which | boasted two victories and one tie when | the series was discontinued, had only to trim the mediocre Roosevelt eleven to clinch the title. Central won the public high tennis championship for the second season in a row. Lead Prep Schools. Georgetown Prep and St. Albans were the most consistent in the prep school whirl. On the basket ball court Georgetown Prep and Emerson had an advantage. St. Albans had the most impressive record in foot ball and Georgetown Prep and St. Albans made the best showing in base ball. In tennis St. Albans won the Prep School League pennant for the second year in a row and Alexander (Zan) Carver took the league's singles tourney. Public high school all-star teams were named by The Star, as follows: Foot ball—Wynne (Western), and Emmerich (Tech). ends; Krouse (Western), and Absher (Eastern), tackles; Cohen and Geiger (Tech), guards; Dunn (Central), center; Nichols (Tech), quarterback; Heat- wole (Tech), and Summerbell (West- ern), halfbacks, and Alley (Tech), fullback.
