home game. having Gallaudet listed as
its opponent and Catholic University is
to have a s its guest the nine represent

The Blue and Gray ought not to have
much trouble winning from Gallaudet.
The Kendall Greeners are without the
services of one or two of their best
players, who became ineligible some
time ago because of their failure to
keep up in scholastic work. and even
with them they would hardly stand
much chance of victory over the HILL
toppers. Bucknell Is very likely to
have a nine of more than the average
strength. as 1t is seldom weaker than
the very best collegiate aggregations
Catholic University probably will have
to play some very good ball in order
to win. Both contests are to start
about 4 o'clock.
