Catholic University, which has been
taking trouncings most regularly in
foot ball engagements with the Uni
versity of Maryland, expects to turn
the tables on it's great athletic rival
at Brookland Saturday night when
representative teams Of the inStitu-
tions will meet at basket ball. And
the Brooklanders are likely to turn
strong at the court sport and will
have on the floor Quint of veterans.
while Maryland, resuming basket
ball after lapse OF four seasons, is
not apt to shine so brightly.
The Old Liners, Of course. have In
their squad two or three basket ball
players who are very capable court
performers. but they have not shown
the brilliant teamplay that charac-
terizes the work OF the Catholic Uni
Tor. FITZGERALD, Breslin and Eberts
at the Brookland varsity comprise a
combination that is considered one Of
he best in this part Of the country
and should Maryland succeed in
holding the Red and Black to a small
margin of victory 1t will be doing

man teams of the rival institutions
will have their innings. In this
game Maryland has an excellent
chance of finishing ahead. The Col
Iege Park cubs really seem strong
enough to show the way. to their var
sity team, while the Catholic Univer-
sity freshmen have not been finding
the going smooth thus far.
Maryland is likely to get thor

Georgetown has only one court

that. Saturday the Hiiltoppers Will
