Two college basket ball games are
scheduled to take place here tonight
catholic University will meet the Vir-
sinia Polytechnic Institute and George
town will have for its opponent the
Maryland Agricultural College. Tho two
games should result in victories for the
iocai teams, although Catholic University
may be pushed to its limit to win.
contest will be played in the City League
between the National Guard and the
Georgetown Collegians
The Virginia Polytechnic Institute has
been doing some creditable work on its
trip through Maryland, and it may be
that it will give the Brooklanders all
they are looking for in the way of op-
position. 1t is not expected that the
Tech five will show sufficient strength to
win, but it is hard telling what may
happen In basket ball game.
The Maryland Aggies have not indi-
Gated enough strength in their games
TO warrant any expectation that they

against the Blue and Gray, let alone

those occasions, the men have not been
on floor for the simplest kind of a
practice. For that reason no sem
blance Of anything like teamwork has
been developed. and the games have
the engagements. The contest be-
tween the Guard team and the Col
legians should be we'll played. There
is not much difference in the strength
of the two. and they should put up a
very even game.
Anent the controversy in which the
North Carolina A. and NJ and the
of North Carolina are eN-
gagged relative to the eligibility of
athletes, 1t may be mentioned that
two or three of the best men who
represented the former on the foot
ball field last fall have been com
PEELED to leave school because of fail
ure to keep up in their scholastic
work
1t is understood that the men left at
the end of the first term for that reason.
If that be true, and there seems little
reason for doubt. it certainly seems evil
dent that the Agricultural and Mechan-
ica1 College does not subordinate its gen
eral interests to the athletics and does
not favor to any great extent the men
who are the stars of the athletic teams.
The Y NJ G. A. Reserves sprung some
thing of surprise last night when they
took the measure Of the Aloysius Club in
the latter's gymnasium. The clubmen
have a very experienced five and have
been cutting wide swath among the
ranks OF independent and league quints.
1t was the first defeat of the year for the
losers.

A shift has been made in the lineup
Of the Catholic. University quint Don

now on. The move was made by Coach
Rice because of the ability Donnelly

doing anything wonderful this year in
the matter of playing big games and will
lack for its most attractive contests
those with Virginia-which should add
to the attractiveness of the games to be
