The second local college basket
ball game of the season is on the
cards for tonight, Gallaudet visiting
the George Washington University
quint at the Central Y. M. c. A.
In their last starts both teams met
defeat. Gallsudet was trimmed by
Catholic University and George
Washington went down to a defeat
at the hands of the Navy at An
napolis.
Coach Jack Haas will be able to
use several of his players who
were ineligible to compete before
holidays. Kelley will probably find
his old place at guard while Melles
will be used at center, Classen and
Rasmussen being held in reserve
with Schowe. The G. W. U. quint
is somewhat weakened by the ab-
sence of Broesbeck, who is out with
a sore neck. Getchel is also out Of
commission with a lame ankle, but
Coach Dougherty expects to win
with the combination that has been
practicing for some time.
