Maryland Has Rare New Athletic Building: Busy Week for College Basketers SPORT PLANT RETD UNIQUE IN COUNTRY To Be Named for Ritchie at Dedication on January 20, When Navy Will Visit. BY R. D. THOMAS. MENTION the new field house at the University ol Maryland, to be dedicated a week from Wednesday, and try to get away from a mem ber of the faculty, athletic stafT, student body or even an alumnus, if he's been out there to take a look! The Old Line school is so hop ped up over Its new toy little else is talked about at College Park. Almost within arm's reach of where this is typed is Harry Clifton Byrd, assistant to the president, athletic di rector and foot ball coach at Maryland, pounding out a piece for the paper. “Say, Curley,” we interrupted, “what about this field house?” An undemonstrative person as a rule Is Curley Byrd, with nervous energy distributed over so many lines of activ ity there's little left for verbal en thusiasms. “What about it?” the typing stops in the middle of a word, if we've see ing right. “I’ll tell you what about it It's the most complete thing of Its kind in the country'. There's nothing iguite like it. Not because its ours, but-” And so on for a Byrd record in the realm of oratory. AS such things go, tne new neia house truly is a darb. Those who planned it left out nothing to be desired and threw In a number of surprise*. It's something more than a field house. It la perfectly arranged for all sorts of affairs in which many people gather and win be the scene of numerous events outside the realm of sport. Because of its manifold purposes, the ingenuity of all connected with the university has been funked on a suit ibie name It will be tagged for Gov. Ritchie of Marvland. but whether it will be Ritchie Hall, Field House. Gym. jr something flossy has yet to be de termined. Coliseum, pelestra, audi torium and numerous other namec nave been rejected. Primarily the structure is an indoor stadium. It will seat 4.262 for basket jail and will take care of 6.000 when used for boxing or as an auditorium. Over all the building measures 173 feet in length and 136 feet wide. The floor in the playing hall is 131 reet long and 56 feet wide. The court sill be 89 feet long and 45 feet wide, giving a margin of 5 Vi feet between the playing space and seats on the side and 16 feet margin at each end. THERE are dressing rooms and showers for the various athletic teams along the sides of the Building beneath the stands and quar ters for visiting athletes and rooms for jther purposes in the front and rear. A room has been set aside for every jranch of varsity sport. There will be leeping quarters for 45 visiting athletes snd a half dozen rooms for coaches and officials. There's a recreation room for the faculty, a trophy room and rooms for this, that and the other. Behind the concrete stands, which are built up two sides almost to the roof, the structure Is a veritable honeycomb of compartments. There are two stories in the front and three in the back. The athletic department offices will be up front. If cleanliness really be next to godli ness. the Terrapins are in line for a wholesale lot of halos. Every dressing and sleeping room in the place is equipped with a shower, and there wdll be a laundry plant, to be operated by a year-round keeper of the premises. Most Terrapin varsity athletes, by the way, are equipped with three Jerseys and a bountilul supoly of other dry goods and the annual laundry bill hits around $1,500. The Old Liners are noted for spick and span attire. GOV. RITCHIE will head a list of notables to take part in the dedi cation January 20, the sport fea ture of which will be a basket ball game between Navy and Maryland. On February 6 the hall will be the scene of the first joint program, the basket ball team meeting North Carolina and both engaging Washington and Lee. Tomorrow night the Terrapins, who hold the Southern Conference cham pionship, will play their final basket ball game In the old gymnasium, meet ing Loyola of Baltimore. The old gym ■when finished In the Fall of 1923 was thought adequate for many years to come, but the school outgrew it in a hurry. It will be turned over to physical education classes and the R O. T. C. Leroy Mackert. one of the all-time foot ball greats at Maryland, now is boss of physical education at College Park and exercises of some sort will become mandatory for all students. stthe new field house is expected tc X bring a new sport era at College Park. Its influence already is strongly apparent In the buoyant spirit of stu dent body and executive staff. The stu dents two years ago pledged 10 bucks annually each year for eight years for campus improvements and about a third of this will go toward footing the co't of the field hou«e. Yep. it will be a bright moment in University of Maryland history when Ritchie Hall. Field House or What-Is-It Is christened 10 days hence, and. speak ing of brightness, we overlooked a couple of items. The main hall will bt lighted to a degree of 24 candlepowcr tc the square foot. You who have seer basket ball games In the old gym may best appreciate the new, for the former was illumined to the extent of only twe candlepower to the square foot. Not onlv will the hall at night bf made as light as day. but the air wii: be as fresh as the outdoors. The air that passes through the building will b< constantly filtered.

Bingham, director of athletics, announced tonight. This change in policy, he ex plained. was in accord with the views of Head Coach Eddie Casey and the Athletic Committee.

Pistol, Rifle Shooting Booms With Reopening of National Association-Police Gallery * J DISTOL and rifle shots of this city in large numbers are patronizing the National Rifle Association-Washington police : range, which has reopened for the Winter. Among the notable improve ments to the range has been installa tion of a more satisfactory target light 1 lng system. A permanent range officer ' also Is being maintained. The range, which was constructed last Spring by the National Rifle Asso ciation. with the co-operation of the Metropolitan Police Department, is located over the headlight testing sta tion of the Traffic Bureau on C street, between Fourth and Fifth streets. Shooting is an active sport in Wash ington and the range provides much needed facilities for Indoor shooting during the cold months. This city has developed some of the best shots of the » country, among th°m R. H. McGarity, I Morris' Fisher, Capt, H. H. Leizear, E. - C Cook and Lieut. W. R Stokes. . j Several banks have professed a need I of more stress upon the handling of firearms bv their employes, and it is expected that many bank men will avail themselves of the range. Also a revival of the old Government Inter departmental rifle leagues, as they ex isted during and after the war while the range under Poll's Theater was In use, Is expected.

Central Visions First High School Track Title Since ?23; Eastern and Tech Lose Stars WITH most of the point win- ] ners in last season's Spring championship track meet again at hand, it appears ; that Central, which finished second to the title-winning Eastern team, has a great chance to win the crown next May. Eastern has lost a raft of sea soned performers and Tech has little upon which to build. Eastern out scored Central last year by only 6 points. 48 to 42. Tech was third with 20 points. Should Central triumph this year it will be the first time that the athletes who wear the blue, once dominant in track and field in the public high whirl, have won the title meet since 1923. That year Central piled up 67 points to triumph. Tech counted 37. Western, 20, and Eastern. 12. It was the twenty-fifth time Central had won the meet. In 1924 Tech landed first honors and continued to conquer the field annually until 1929, when Eastern won The Lincoln Parkers also won in 1939 and 1931. CENTRAL has at hand such seasoned performers as Naylor. Price. Ditz ler and Smith, sprinters; St. John, miler, and Kocsis and Gibbins in the field events. Ail scored in the 1931 meet. Boucher and Howard, high jumpers, and Coleman, discus heaver, who were point winners in ■ the meet, are no longer in school. Bob Slye. hurdler and broad jumper, and captain of the squad: Deve Sprin kle. high jumper and pole vaulter: Tony Palm°r, sprinter, and Clifton Rickard and Joe Mostow. quarter milers. are boys upon whom Eastern will pin its hopes, admittedly not bright, for its fourth straight title. Mainstays who have been lost by the Lincoln Park School include Grover Everett, crack hurdler and broad Jump er; Fred Hutchinson, formidable in the discus, shotput and pole vault; George Shorb, half miler; Roger Smoak. quarter miler; Phil Corridon, discus thrower, and Joe Lynch, miler. TECH has lost such valuable boys, as A! Reichman, miler and half miler; Sterling Moorhead and Aus tin Pohl. quarter milers; Bob Aschetter, half miler and miler; Stanley Jones, captain, a hurdler, and Tom Vass, pole vaulter. Reichman, Moorhead and Reichman all were members of the championship relay team, so it seems that Coach Hap Hardell has a tall job to develop another winning four. In passing, though, it might be noted that Hardell often has built a victorius quar tet with scant material. Bovnton Livingstone, who ran first on the 1931 relay team, is the lone member of the four still available. Meikeljchn, who was second in the javelin in last year’s meet, and Marvin Chapman, high jumper, who has been appointed captain, are just about the only other athletes of proved worth at McKinley, though Wohfarth. quarter miler, and a few others may come through. Western with its new athletic field plans to go in for track more seriously this season. Under direction of Coach Dan Ahern efforts will be made to build a good foundation for a sport in which the Georgetown school once was strong. Beers, who was third in both the 120 yard high hurdles and 220-yard low hurdles in the Spring meet last sea son: Pond, a quarter miler; Sholtes, a half miler. and De Stephen, a sprint er, are arrong the boys who right now appear like’.y to do something for West ern. Track practice started at most of the schools last week and by the end of this wTeek w.ll be well under way at all the institutions. Basket Ball Tips BY SOL METZGER. Here's Missouri's quick-breaking offense to overcome a man-to-man defense. It's a scheme th’t George Edwards has used with outstand ing success. Guard <41 has the ba'l. Center (1) and forwards <2 and 3i break srv from the basket ar*a as shown. No 4 passes to 2 and 2 )m |----—“ST-1 i mediately relays the ball to 1. The break of 3 is so tim°d th?t he crosses <n front of 1 as the latter receives this pass. Thus 3s opposing guard is blocked out of the play by 1. As a result, when 3 takes a short pass from No. 1. 3 is free to dribble to the basket for a close-up shot. (Copyright, 1932.) TILDEN CLEANS UP Wins Indoor Singles Title, Shares Pro Doubles Crown.

SCHOOLBOY basket ball fans will get entertainment in large quan tities this week when four games are played in the public high school title series that promise to be every bit as stirring as those dramatic opening struggles Friday that saw Busi ness upset Tech and Central conquer Western. Central and Tech, dearest of foes, will meet in the first game of a double header Tuesday at 3:30 o'clock on the Tech court and Business and Eastern, the latter making its series debut, will come to grips in the other encounter. Eastern will engage *,Vestem and Business will tackle Central Friday in that order. CENTRAL will strive to mark up its second win of the series at the ex pense of Tech, and the latter is ready for a desperate bid for victory in order not to lose further ground in the race. There is much speculation as to how Eastern will shape up in the series. The boys from over Lincoln Park way have been burning up the hardwood in pre-season tests and there are many, and they're not all Eastern supporters, either, who figure that Coach Guyon’s charges are destined to win the cham pionship. In Business, though, East ern probably will find a foe worthy of its steel if the great showing of the little Stenog team against Tech means anything. By no means will the choice scho lastic court attractions of the week be confined to the championship series, ns several games of more than usual in terest are listed among the 14 other contests slated. There will be something doing every day, with Friday as usual the most active day. Eastern and Georgetown Prep will face in the lone game carded tomor row, the tilt being slated for the Eastern court.

Hyattsville High at St. John's in the Kaydet's stronghold, at 8 o'clock and Washing ton-Lee High will come over from Ball ston, Va„ to battle the G, W. freshmen. Gonzaga and Tech will face in the only game scheduled for District hard wood Wednesday, but this is a bright contest in view of the rivalry. It will be played at Tech. Business will meet St. John’s freshmen at Annapolis and Georgetown Prep will engage Maryland School for the Deaf at Frederick^ Md„ in other tilts Wednes day. In the lone game listed Thursday. Eastern will go out to College Park to match baskets with the Maryland fresh men. Devitt and Gonzaga will face Friday night at 8 o'clock on the Gonzaga court in the most attractive encounter of that day or night, apart from the East ern-Western, Business-Central frays Devitt has shown well this season and is expected to give Gonzaga all the opposition it seeks. Other games Friday are listed between Tech and George Washington fresh men at G. W., Leonard Hall and St. John's at St. John's, at 8 pm., Loyola High of Baltimore and Georgetown Prep at Garrett Park and St. Albans and Swavely at Manassas, Va.

UTERITZ PROMOTED Thistlethwaite and Little Bow to Former Pupil in Big Saddle at 32. By the Associated Press. MADISON, Wis., January 9—The pupil-teacher angle, constantly corpping up in sports tales, seldom has been more acute than in the elevation of Irwin Uteritz to the post of athletic director of the University of Wisconsin. “Utz,” who at 32 is the youngest man in his job at any Big Ten school and perhaps in any major university, super seded two men who had been his tutors in athletics—both competitve and ad ministrative. George Little, who resigned the post Uteritz now occupies, was the new di rector's foot ball coach in his college days at the University of Michigan, and was his boss in athletic administration here. Glenn Thistlethwaite, who resigned as foot ball coach here along with Little, was grid mentor at Oak Park, 111., High 3chool when Uteritz first won his spurs as a prepster, and Utz coached under Thisty at Northwestern as well as on the Badger campus. Now the young man whom Fielding Yost characterized as “one of the few really great quarterbacks and the most certain tackier for a backfield man I have ever seen,” is in, and Little and Thistlethwaite are out, so far as Wis consin is concerned. His record of 19‘victories against only two defeats in four seasons as coach of the Wisconsin “B” foot ball team may have had something to do with getting Utz his big promotion. His Bees were undefeated the last two seasons and *’on the conference “second team" title each year. TWO FOR MOUNT RAINIER I - High School Quint to Meet Teams of Montgomery County. MOUNT RAINIER.

FOUR of the six local college basket ball teams will be on the floor in games tomorrow night two against each other and the other two as hosts to visiting quints. Gallaudet jaunts over to Brookland to meet Catholic University George Wash ington entertains the Quantico Marines and Maryland has Loyola College of Baltimore as its op ponent. All three contests are to begin at 8 o clock. Unless Catholic University has taken a big brace since the holidays Gallaudet probably will stand a good chance to defeat the Cardinals. The Brooklanders should do a lot better than was indicated they might by their showing before they went home for the Christmas vacation. Considerable im provement should be looked for, as the C. U. foot ball season ran up to De cember 12, and, inasmuch as most of , the basket ball players are on the foot ball squad, there was little opportunity for practice before that first game was played. C. U. should be far stronger in its remaining contests. George Washington took the measure of the Marines last W'eek at Quantico and certainly, if it could win down there, that seems sufficient to warrant an opinion that it should take the game here. The Colonials have a team that stands out among the best in its history, according to some that have watched it in action. Maryland has a score to settle with Loyola, as that school is one of the few that took the measure of Old Liners last season. Loyola came down to College Park and trimmed Maryland by a couple of points in a contest that left nothing to be desired in the way of basket ball thrills. Tomorrow Maryland hopes to atone for that whipping, although it realizes that Loyola still is an exceptionally strong combination. American university is to be host to two college quints this week. Salem College on Tuesday and St. John's of Annapolis on Thurs day. The local school has started it* schedule as if it should go through an exceptionally good year. It wound up last week with a very successful trip through Virginia and is pretty sure to enter its contests here with a good deai of confidence. Besides the game it plays with Gal laudet tomorrow night, Catholic Uni versity is to take part in two other contests . Thursday night it hook* up with 8t. Joseph’s and Friday with Villanova. Not much is known of the St. Joseph’s five, nor of Villanova, either, for that matter, but if Villanova measures up in basket ball to what It does in foot ball then it should offer more than enough opposition to satisfy the local school. GEORGETOWN has only one game this week, with the St John’s College of Brooklyn. The Blue and Gray is climbing back up the basket ball hill, despite material that does not seem to measure up to some of former years, and may be expected to put up a stiff argument against any team it faces. George Washington, after its game with Marines tomorrow night, does not play again until Saturday, when it meets Villanova. which remains over for the contest after its meeting with Catholic U. One of the greatest battles George Washington put up on the basket ball floor last Winter was with VtHanova, a battle It won by a point or two. Gallaudet, like George Washington, does nothing but practice from tomor row night until Saturday. Then It goes to Annapolis to meet St. John’s. Maryland winds up its week with a trip to Lexington. Va„ where it 13 to try conclusions with Washington and Lee on Friday and Virginia Military Institute on Saturday. Maryland won from both these schools last season Both are said to be stronger, Washington and Lee espe cially. Washington and Lee was good last season, and It has back many of the men it then used. The Old Liners have their varsity and freshman teams of last year, barring one man, as this year's squad, and are very optimistic of their chances for the 'season as a whole. Wright is the one man now off the squad, as he has had to turn in his suit until he gets back in good stand ing scholastically, Maryland is one of the few schools that have a regulation under which a player may be cut off a squad at any time that he begins to show delinquency in his class work.
