The game George Washington Is to
play with Davis and Elkins should be
well contested. The visitors have been
playing good basket ball on their pres
ent trip. having captured all three of
the meetings in which they have taken
part. 1t also is claimed that Davis and
Elkins came within 1 point last year

lineup it has used in its previous
struggles.

score of that was 80 to 81. The last
game played by the Brooklanders was
a week ago. when they lost to Gal
laudet.
Georgetown's quint showed it's real
merit last night by trouncing the st.
Johns College quint of Brooklyn by

tors. The offensive work of the Hill
toppers was much better than that of
their opponents, particularly the pass
