Carmelia Hicks' favorite grade-school teacher, Julia T. Smith, was a kindly human being, but she kept a thick paddle in her desk drawer and was never afraid to use it. The way Hicks remembers it, Miss Smith had plenty of backup. "If you acted up, she sent you to the principal's office. Miss [Alice] Battle, the principal, had an even thicker paddle. Then they'd call your parents, and when you got home, you'd get another beating," Hicks says of the mid-1960s, when she was a student at the Lula G. Scott Elementary School in Shady Side.

COLLEGE PARK - - It was Maryland's first game since a nine-day layoff for final exams, and Gary Williams looked edgier than usual. The Maryland coach had noticed that Georgetown, Florida and Tennessee had all lost recently (to Old Dominion, Richmond and Southern California, respectively) during a period when many teams' schedules are interrupted by finals. Might his Terps (7-3) be rusty enough to have to worry about being challenged by Winston-Salem State? Williams' concerns seemed warranted only during a first half in which Maryland was largely invisible inside.

Morgan State went from bad to worse, from losing to a crosstown rival a week ago to losing to the newest entry in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference yesterday. A 42-yard pass play and a 24-yard field goal by Winston-Salem State in the final minute sent the Bears reeling to a 19-17 loss before an announced 8,953 at Hughes Stadium. Morgan State @Hampton Thursday, 7:30 p.m., 88.9 FM

Across the West River, from the Captain Salem Avery House Museum, amid the quiet splash of water against rocks, one can faintly see the Bay Bridge. At one time, visitors could enjoy this view from only the benches on a grassy area behind the 19th-century house. Now visitors to the museum can sit on a bench of its new pier and read nine new information panels, which are part of the Shady Side Rural Heritage Society's plan to provide another link between the community, the environment and history.

WINSTON - SALEM , N.C . There were enough reasonsMaryland needed to leave Wake Forest with a win last night, but the overriding benefit, coach Gary Williams said, was confidence ? something that had begun to waver during a season that started with a swagger. Despite a 23-point lead that evaporated in the second half last night, Maryland remained resolute and hung on for a 79-72 win before 13,089 in Lawrence Joel Coliseum last night. It meant the difference between flying home with a 2-6 league record or amore respectable 3-5. It meant the first conference road win of the season, and a step in the right direction heading into Tuesday?
