YANKEES FACE
TEST In GAME
WITH KEYSER
Question Whether D. G..
Champs Are Skiddlng VIII
Be Answered Tomorrow.

MRANY supporters OF the Van.
iW KEGS believe the District
~ basketball champions are on
the down grade. They base their
belief on the in-and-o11t perf0rm-
ance Of the veteran quint this year.
While the players are young in
years they are oldsters IN basket
ball and some OF their followers
think their many seasons on the
court is telling on them. SO far, the
Yanks have had tough shedding
and their record this year does not
compare with their early season
performance in other seasons.
SCARED BY VEITTCS.
The Yanlxs' worst exhibition of
the year was against the Celtics.
No one expected them to defeat the
New Workers., but they could have
made q better showing than they
did. They have too much ex-
perience to be stage struck. but
that's how they acted
The criticism directed against
them must have backfired with the
result that the Yanls showed q big
Improvement In the game against
George washington University and
scored so points on the Hatchetites.
And then followed that invasion
of the Naval Academy, the result
of which, a 1924 beating, meant
that either the Yanks went back
with rush or that the Midship-
men were far better than any ad-
vance dope touted them.
TEST TOMORROW NIGHT.
In the face Of these perform
ances, memories Of the good work
of the District prides in beating
Grove City College, the EIlxs at
Hagerstown, and the Baltimore
Orioles, formerly the st. Andrews
A. A.. at Baltimore, and others,
have not been overlooked.
The question whether the Yanks
have gone hack or not win be an
swered at the Coliseum tomorrow
night when the Keyser CoIlegians
will be the visiting attraction. Last
season the Yanks defeated the
highly touted West vnginians in
a game here by a 36-to-18 score.
Toward the latter part of the sea
son the Yanks made a trip to the
home of the ColIegians and suffered
the worst defeat in the history of
the club, losing at a 55-to-12 count.
