Dec. 23, 1980: “Heck, I can take some time out this spring and go fishing,” Maryland men’s basketball coach Lefty Driesell says upon signing heralded Adrian Branch (DeMatha) for the Terps. Branch, a 6-foot-8 forward, will help Maryland win the 1984 Atlantic Coast Conference championship and finish as the school’s No. 2 all-time scorer.

Dec. 22, 1968: The Colts blank Minnesota for three quarters in a 24-14 victory over the Vikings for the NFL Western Conference title before an announced 57,779 at Memorial Stadium. Earl Morrall passes for two touchdowns and linebacker Mike Curtis races 60 yards with a recovered fumble to score.

Dec. 27, 1958: As his team leaves for New York for the NFL championship game, Colts coach Weeb Ewbank has the players read a quote from New York Giants quarterback Charley Conerly posted on the dressing room wall. “We just outgutted them,” Conerly said after New York’s 24-21 regular-season conquest of Baltimore. The Colts win the title, 23-17, in sudden-death overtime.

Dec. 23, 1947: Former world heavyweight boxing champion Primo Carnera wins a wrestling match at the Coliseum, defeating Frank Hewitt with a headlock after eight minutes. The event is telecast by WMAR.

Dec. 21, 1939: The University of Baltimore’s basketball team defeats Duke, 40-29, at the Coliseum. The Bees (4-1), who’ve lost only to Oregon, get 10 points from Nat Winitsky and seven from Red Holzman, who’ll go on to coach the New York Knicks to NBA championships in 1970 and 1973.

Dec. 26, 1925: Eddie Rommel, star pitcher for the Philadelphia Athletics, throws strikes in bowling, too. He rolls a 662 over five games for a state record in duckpin competition at Recreation Lanes. A Baltimore native, the 28-year-old right-hander — who won 21 games for the A’s in 1925 — bowls 137, 155, 140, 124 and 106 for the set.

Dec. 21, 1933: Wrestling on horseback? Nine bareback riders of The First Battalion, 110th Field Artillery stage a mounted wrestling match at the Pikesville Armory. Sgt. Calvin Brandenburg wins after the others are forced out of the ring.

Birthday

Dec. 22, 1987: Zach Britton, the Orioles closer in 2014 who saved 37 games with a 1.65 ERA.
