This is the busiest day the college
and preparatory school basketball
teams of Detroit have seen since the
season started Eight Detroit teams
will participate in six games this
evening.
The University OF Detroit meets
Hillsdale college at the University
gymnasium. The preliminary will
start at 1880, which means that the
big game will start about an hour lat
err w. Il. Stocking, of Central High
school, will referee.
Central High school goes TO Ann

there. Tomorrow evening Central

Mcmillan High goes to Wyandotte
for a battle there with the 'Dottes.
The University of Detroit Hillsdale
game Is, or course, the headliner on
tonight's bill IIillsdale comes here
as a dark horse. Just what they are
able TO do Is unknown 10 the De-
rroiters, However, Coach Campbell
believes that the team that has set
six teams down ia row without a
defeat can hold its own against any
five In the NJ A. A.
Last week the ''U" had no trouble
with Alma college. considered one OF
the strong contenders in the NJ !. A.
A.. doubling their score. Unless
Hillsdale far outclasses the Alma five
tonight's game should result in the
universitys seventh victory.
Campbell expects to use his regular
lineup now that Capt. Kelly is back
In The game after an absence during
some strenuous examinations.
Referee Stocking found little to an
noy him last week. The game was
not hotIy contested and was rather
tame But what little difficulties there
were he settled with such satisfaction
that not a word OF protest from either
team was heard Consequently he has
been engaged FOR the officiating at to-
nights game.
The only contest played by a De-
troit High school team which is likely
to have bearing on the state title is
that OF Central at Ann Arbor Ann
Arbor Is one OF the teams that Cen
tral must beat TO gain the title. How
ever, II is generally conceded that
Coach Buss' men should have vic
tory TO bring home tonight.
The headline honors among the .-igh
schools is divided between the East
ern-D. U. S. game and the Western
Adrian contest. On dope Eastern
ought 10 have an easy time with
Coach Frye's ID. u. S. five. as hoodoos
and handicaps have kept the univer-
sity school boys almost out OF the run
ming However, Fryeis optimistic and
promises a surprise for the Boule-
varders. This is the first time there
/. has been an Eastern-D T. s. game
scheduled In six years.
What the result OF the Western,
Adrian game will be is predetermined.
Central has beaten Adrian on Adrian's
own floor. but Central can win easily
enough over Western also. which
make II appear that there Is some
donbt as TO the superiority Of the two
teams that -wrestle- tonight
Cass Tech, WI lch has sprung into
the limelight recently, meets Mt. Glenn
ems High on the Cass floor and hopes
to get closer to the center OF the
stage by defeating the bathers. No
forecast as to the result of the game
Is being attempted as little is known
Of either team.
OF suburban interest will be the
McMillan-Wyandot contest at WV.
andotte. While neither team ranks
with the best OF the bigger high
schools. nevertheless the rivalry be-
tween the teams is none the less
strong.
A battle royal Is promised when
the Y. NJ o. and the D. A. G. fives
get together. The two teams are now
trying to arrange for the early part
OF next week.
The Y. NJ o. stock leaped upward
far after the victory over the Rayl
Ave at the Holy Rosary gymnasium
this week. The Rayls were counted
upon TO give the ID. a. G.. some of
their hardest battles for the title.
Now II appears that the Y NJ. o. has
usurped that right.
The team is made up of the best
OF the present and past University OF
Detroit basketball stars principally.
The men have all played together for
| years, and this always forms a com
bination, that is hard to beat
lf the Rlversides are as good as
they have been In years past. they
will form valuable addition to local
basketball teams Ben Geddis has
charge OF the team which has on It's
roster Whitmarsh. Martin. Meyers.
Shook, Kelke. Kerstein and Schafer.
The team opposes the "Y' Blues.
