Georgetown's basket ball team meets
tonight one of the strongest quints
1t has played in many a. day, an aggre-
cation of stars from Camp Meade
being scheduled to appear on the Hill
top. Two of the best college players
developed on the big hves in years
are due to hold places in the Camp
Meade lineup, and 1t is understood
that the remainder of the basketers
who will represent the cantonment
are little less capable. The two stars
are McNichol and Kinney, formerly of
Pennsylvania and Yale.
On its home court Georgetown will
hold the advantage. In condition, be-
cause OF better and greater opportuni-
ties for practice, the Hilltoppers prob
ably will be in some measure better
prepared than their opponents. How
bilities as Individual performers the
visitors are pretty sure to have things
all in favor of themselves. A week
ago Kinney gave an exhibition of bas-
ket-shooting between the halves of a.
game in which Catholic University met
a team from Camp Meade that tran
scended anything seen here in long
while. His record while at Yale proves
that he can locate the basket in scrim-
mage almost as well as when on a
free floor. The contest is scheduled
to start at o'clock.
Western High won from Tech yes
terday in the scholastic league by a
score of Is to 6, taking the lead short
ly after the opening and holding it.
The Red and White outc1assed their
rivals, particularly in defensive play.
Techs forwards could make no head
way against the close covering of the
opposing guards. No change in the
standing OF the teams resulted from the
contest. Central still holding the lead.

Tech following in order.
Easterns varsity and reserve bas-
ket ball teams won games from Con-
zaga first and second quints yesterday
