TWO basketball games carded for to-
night are expected to draw unusually
well. Princeton University, runner-up
in the intercollegiate basketball league,
and the only team which has succeeded
in lowering the colors of Cornell Uni
versity this year, is tackling George
town at the Arcade. st. Johns, of Madi-
son, Wis, and Culver Military Acad-
emy, Of Culver. Ind, play at the T. M
Just before the season got fully under
way, the Blue and Gray OUTFIT was
trimmed by a "a to q score at Princeton.
Since then both teams have shown eX-
ceptionally good form, Georgetown be-
ing able to win all along the line while
Princeton has attained second in the
intercollegiate race.
quint, is far from optimistic over the
outcome tonight. I'VE expect to win
and think we have an even chance,
said Collifower. When the teams met
earlier in the year Georgetown had not
been in shape for some time We put
UP a great fight and the game tonight
will be a good one.
GEORGETOWN will have a strong follow
|, ing out for the contest. as Princeton
men will flock to the Arcade to see their
team play. At present there are crowds
OF Princeton students and graduates in
the city, many attended the Georgetown
meet on Saturday and tonight reserva-
lions have been made for many more.
Announces Line.Up.
Coach Collifiower announces his line
up as follows: Campbell and Kelly,
forwards: Waldron, center and Foley
and wetzel, guards. This combination
is believed to be the best that the Blue
and Gray is capable Of putting out and
enc calculated to make the runners-up
in the intercollegiate race go the limit
to defeat.
Princeton is presenting several not
able athletes. Three of the men on the
team made great records on the foot
hall team. Dewitt the famous half
back. will be found at right guard. He
) is looked upon with .'Hobey" Baker as
Princeton.
In the other guard position Trenk-
man. another football star will be
found. Both of these men rank high in
intercollegiate basketball. At center is
McLanahan. who is sixteenth in the
Intercollegiate Basketball League in
goal shooting.
OF the forwards. Salmon is perhaps
best known: He is led by Halstead, of
Cornell. and Reisner, of Penn, in the
standing. having shot baskets totaiing
1S points for his team in the games
played for the title. He leads Sisson,
the Dartmouth star, who topped the
players last year.
Another Good One
A game expected to attract an un-
usual amount of interest is that sched-
uled at the Y. NJ. c. A. between St.
Johns and Culver These schools are
old rivals in the Middle West and con-
trived to arrange a game when the
schools came East for the Inauguration.
Culver is one of the leading military
schools in the country and boasts a fine
string of athletes in every branch of
sport. The Culver men are here 300
strong; will parade tomorrow, and num-
Der several good basketball players.
ST. Johns comes all the way from
Wisconsin and Is well known in the
Middle West. The teams are old rivals
and will have their full strength out at
the association tonight. The game is
