urday night when the st. Joseph's
College team of Philadelphia visits
Ryan gymnasium. Just how strong
are the Josephites is not certain, but
as rule basket ball teams from the
Quaker city are far above the aver
age here. SO they can be expected to
make matters interesting for the Hill
toppers. The game probably will be-
gin about $50 o'clock, following one
between, the Georgetown freshmen
and Gonzaga that is to get under way
, at 1880.
But two leftover regulars are
available for Georgetown's team.
These are Capt. Carney, an expert
enced and versatile guard. and
a redoubtable fioor player, keen on
defense and clever ball feeder.
O'Keefe last year showed good ijudg
ment at tap-offs and covered much
territory.
With this pair on the varsity there
likely will be Sweeney, McNaney and
Erogan. Sweeney, forward, and
