begun TO formulate plans for the cam
paign this winter. The men will again
be under the tutelage OF Prof. Joyce. and
that they Will make a strong bid for the
Southern championship goes without say
ing. Among the old men who have re-
turned 70 school are Jim and George
Collihower, schlosser, Rice, cogglns,
Kingsley and COEan. Plenty OF new
material IS on hand. Most prominent
among them is Regis, who played a guard
on the crack Y. n. G. A. quintet last
year. He Is well known In local circles
for his ability as a goal tosser. and
should make the seam. Jack Martin Is
another likely candidate, who played on
the Niagara University basketball team
before coming here. The prep school has
also given two good men in Brennan
and Graham. who starred on the scholas-
tic aggregation last year.
With such a bunch OF candidates Joyce
should be able TO get out a fast quintet,
one which should uphold Georgetown's
reputation OF having the championship
basketball team among the Southern
colleges.
