gagament, and St. Johns, of Brook
lyn. going against Gallaudet College.
The aforementioned contest will be
staged at Brookland and the latter

surprised the Brooklandites at the

test. Catholic University will take

Catholic University was defeated
IN their game last week by the Nir-
ginia Polys. but came back strong
in their defeat of the st. Johns
quint. George Washington will give
them a hard match tonight. but it
is hardly thought that the Hatchet-

town has not met defeat this sea

strong competition on their trip,
and they can only hope for one or
two victories in their four engage
ments.

AH-South Atlantic center, and
Bouchard. their stocky little guard,

pig lead, but proceeded to lose their
grip the minute the second period

The Kendall lads hope to have
both Bouchard and Downes in
