That match at the Hilltop between
the Hatchetites and the Blue and
Gray may prove a warm one. On
past performances, Georgetown is
favored to triumph, but right now the
HilltopperS are an uncertain lot. They
surprisingly fell before CarsonNew-
man, little known Quint, their last
time out and may not be so powerful
tomorrow night.
The teams have met before this
winter and Georgetown had to battle
desperately to get the long end of a

are pointing carefully for the contest
that is expected to end the annual
series between the old rivals.
The Blue and Gray probably will
begin play with Sweeney and Fed

and Carney and Brogan at guards.
For George Washington, Newly and

and ReyrAA and Dowd. guards, are
expected to start. Hostilities will get
under way tomorrow night at $50

Lebanon Valley is apt to give the
two teams it is to meet here good
competition. For years, the Penn

turning out capable floor combina- =

state this winter indicate that Leba-

All of the Kendall Green regulars
are ready for action tomorrow night.

and Riddle are exceptional basketers,
who may trouble Lebanon Valley
considerably.
The Pennsylvanians are not strang-

better than the present one. Satur-

The Marylanders probably will find

they seem to have am even chance
