DOUBLE-HEADER TONIGHT.
Ryan Gymnasium to Be Scene of
Some Speedy Goal Tossing.

This evening at Ryan gymna SUM,
Georgetown College. the Blue and Gray
collegian basket ball auint will clash in
Baltimore City College aggregation, while
the Georgetown props will meet for the
second time this winter the strong Car
roll Institute five of this city. Because
of the importance of both games a large
crowd is expected TO be on hand to wit
ness what cannot help but be good eN
hibitions of the indoor game.
The COLLECTIONS will line up strong
against their rivals from the Oriole city,
having Capt. Kingsley and Cosam at the
forwards, Dilkes at center, and O'Connor
and SitterdinS at the guards. This is
the same five that 50 easily trimmed the
Gaithersburg \. {. Thursday evening,
and is far superior to the quint which
represented the Blue and Gray against
Gallaudet a week past.
Not much is known of Baltimore City
College except that it ranks the best
interscholastic team in the Maryland me-
tropoiiS. For a number of years the
Orole lads have been great rivals of diff
ferent teams at the local school. and IL
is because of this spirit that a series

therefore interesting to watch The next
game between these two teams will take
place in Baltimore next Wednesday.
The other two teams which will clash
this evening played game two weeks
ago tonight, which. from I'LL accounts,
was a corker. The props had the lead of
the Carroll five at the intermission, but
this was later overcome by phenomenal
shooting on the part of Croghan. the
club lads captain. Since then both ag-
gregations have been showing decided
improvement, and from all the dope
sheets at present available they should
struggle pretty evenly this evening.
