The inter collegiate basketball
championship of Maryland will be
determined in~Baltimore tonight when
st. Johns and Mt St Joseph's quints
clash on the court at Richmond Mar
ket This will be the third game be-
tween these two contenders who have
swept before them all other contend
ers for the title.
With thrills aplenty a prospect,
one of the largest crowds of the sea-
son should witness the tilt.
Opinion as to the probable winner
of the game for the intercollegiate
honors is about evenly divided. In
fact, according to the sharps, no two
teams have ever entered a combat
for the championship more evenly
matched in all departments. Care
full practice sessions have been put
in by the rivals and they i'll be on
edge. The loser i'll have no excuses
to offer, as indications are that both
will be able to present their very
strongest lineups.
