THREE BASKET BALL GAMES.
All Scheduled to Take Place Tomor-
row at GEORGETOWN.

Tomorrow morning there will be three
basket ball games at Georgetown College
and as all of the contending quints seem
to be closely matched from what dope is
at hand. some exciting sport is pretty sure
to show UP. The first of the battles will
start at 9:4J sharp. and from then on
there will be one uninterrupted round of
Soal-tossing until the gong is sounded on
the last game. which will probably be
pretty close to noon.
The first contest will be the second of
the college interclass series and the par
Elephants will he from the classes OF 1909
and 1910. 1t will be remembered that the
higher class beat the juniors on the grid
iron this fall after one of the hottest
scraps ever put up in an interclass foot
ball game. and. on account of this. great
rivalry has arisen between the two fac
tons. The juniors are dead anxious to
take a victory tomorrow both to even up
scores with the seniors and also because
it will put them in the run for an inter-
class championship. something that they
haven't obtained so far this year. But
the seniors are equally eager for their
opponents scalp and 1t is safe bet that
they will go their farthest to VIM

These two quints are pretty evenly
matched in size and weight, but the upper
classmen have had more experience at the
indoor game. In practice however both
aggregations have shown good form and
the wise ones at Georgetown are not will
ing to make any predictions about what
the outcome will be, since all agree that
unless one side or the other goes to pieces
the battle will be hot and the score c,ose.
The second game on the list will be the
one between the Georgetown varsity and
the COrcoran Cadets. These teams clashed
last Sunday, and up to the middle of the
second half the school crowd had all it
could do to take care of the down town
