Two different tests are i'll store for
the George Washington University
ba sket ball team tonight and tomorrow
night. This evening the Hatchetites
are to pit their strength against that
of Georgetown University in the first
meeting between two athletic organi-
cations of the universities in eight
years, and tomorrow they will play
Fordham University, which defeated
Georgetown early in the season. Both
contests are to take place in the Ma
tional Guard Armory gymnasium.
The game tonight between George
Washington and Georgetown is by far
the most important. 1t marks the be-
ginning of d new era for both inSti-
tutions, and probably an era that Will
be fraught with advantages for each.
Everybody almost who has followed
athletics in this section remembers the
wide breach opened between the two
schools in the fall of 1907. the occasion
of the last foot ball game i'll which
they figured. Athletics between George
town and George Washington in for
mer years have proved big successes
financially we'll as otherwise, and
there has been no contest in this sec
tion in which the teams Of any two
universities have drawn as big crowds
as used to attend the Thanksgiving
battles.
The contest with F'ordham tomorrow
evening is of no more Importance than
any other between two institutions OF
recognized strength. 1t probably is the
first time that George Washington has
met Fordham, though.
