as yet there have been no definite ar
rangements made as to the scene of
combat. Partridge expects the game to
be played in Ryan gymnasium. on the
Hilltop. although the Kendall Green
manager Is desirous of bringing the
Props on the floor of the Buff and Gold.
This matter will be settled satisfactorily
by Friday morning. and there is no fear
OF the contest being postponed on this
account.
When these two qulnts come together
there is bound to be a battle royal. for the

The Hilltop youngsters win be repre-
scented by practically the same aggrega-
ton that played against Loyola Prep in
Baltimore last Saturday. although Nord-

his ability as forward. In last Satur-

Martin Plays Well.
Billy Martin continues to play a

the opposing forward in the matter Of

and fighting spirit makes an ideal
leader.
It is being rumored about that John
Shugrue, Of last seasons championship
aggregation, may again be eligible to
play on the Prep 1--WE, and II such is the
case the Blue and Gray youngsters will
be able to offer the same lineup as
they did last year. with, the exception
of former Captain Loehl, whose posi-

Shugrue on the team, the G. U. p ag-

floor. AS the Stenographers boast of
an experienced team. an interesting con-
test should result from the meeting.
