In place OF the Virginia game, Mama

bah quint. Is trying to bring either
Yale or Princeton to warrington to take
the place on the Hin Toppers schedule
left vacant by the Orange and Blue i've.
Both OF the above mentioned universe
ties have good qulnts and either one
would draw q large crowd. 1t 10 planned

the game would undoubtedly be played
In the Ryan gymnasium nearly all OF
the students of the college and many out
side fans who otherwise would not at
tend the games held on the I'M Top

Yale was scheduled to play here but
the manager OF the Eli dye shifted his
Gates a month forward and as the
Georeetown quinf Was then playing In

ranged. Manager Conroy states that he
will have a good team to, take the place
of the Virginia five. and from indications
prevailing II looks as though he VIII
have one of the big four colleges here
before the. winter Is over. Washington
and Lee, Navy. and St Johns of Brook

ception Of the Navy game the local fans
will see all of the contests In the Hfil

According to Micky, KeIiiher,4 coach Of
the Gallaur>t basketball quint and
Almon, star forward of the George WASH
ington five. this boy Nichols. who Is hold
ing down q forward position on the UNI
versity of Virginia 1--WE. is one OF the
best in that position IN the South In
the two games that he participated In
against local clubs he was the CHIEF
factor in scoring points and the shots for
the basket which he executed were By
no means easy ones. In speaking Of
Nichols, Kelliher said: He Is the best
looking youngster I have seen In some
days He has fine eye for the basket
Is fast and plays an aggressive gams
throughout. I will miss my guess II hs
is not given credit for being the best mar
playing the forward position in the South
before the season Is over.
Almon. of the George Washington fve-
who is given credit for being one OF
the best of the Hatchetites. spoke OF
,Niehols in glowing terms and said he wa,
the mainstay of the Virginia quint.
Buck. Miles. who was picked last sea
son as the Ali South Atlantic center
playing with Washington and Lee Uni
versity, is putting up the same game BY
which he earned his position on the Al
Star team last year,

The Washington and Lee boy is rang,

the time. IL will be hard to overlook Bucl
Miles in the final summing I'D for ths

Owing to the fact that examination
were being held at Georgetown Univer.
sity the basketball quint was forced Il
postpone its contest which was scheduled
to be played with the Y. NJ. c. A. Regu-
lars last night to Thursday the 18th.
This game Ms looked forward to will

shape. and are great rivals 1t has beer
some time since a Y. N. C. A. five has
taken the measure of Georgetown team
and IL looks as though the Regular
would turn the trick this season. From
q glance at the records, the Y. NJ. c. A
i've looks to be the better Of the TIVE
clubs, but you can never tell what VII
happen. IN a basketball game. Tn,
Georgetown quint may spring a surpris'
and come through with q victory in tn,
most approved style, while on the othel
hand the team work Of the association
lads may prove too much for the Hill
toppers. and may be the cause of tn,
Blue and Grays defeat.
1t is apparent that the Washington and
Lee basketball FIVE Is out for the Souti
Atlantic title. It has defeated all Of tn,
teams played 30 far this season. ana
some Of these team comprise the cream
of the best talent I'm Collegiate circles.

Brooklanders met the same fate as oh
the Bun and Blue quint. that Is beini
