LYNCH IS NEEDED
FOR c. j MACHINE
BrookIand Guard Expected to
Help Hold Penn Tonight
At Brookland.
By BRYAN MORSE.

Catholic University basketers, meet
ing the University OF Pennsylvania
University team in the big gymnasium
at Brookland tonight, pin their
hopes OF success upon the ability OF
Lynch TO get into the game.
In the recently played Humphreys
engagement Lynch slipped and
twisted his ankle. He was unable TO
continue after the injury although he
went back on the floor.
The Brooklsuders depend upon
Lynch TO shoot free losses and have
counted upon his ability TO loop any
where from two TO four baskets from
scrimmage. With Mcnamara, Dunn,
Kelly, Lynch and Fosse in the line
up the Brooklanders think they can
force the intercollegiate champion
Penn team to the limit.
II is expected that Eberts and Glea-
son will be held ready to go in the
game provided a SHIFT is necessary in
replacing Lynch. Gleason will prob
ably have first choice.
