TWO COLLEGE TRAYS
CARDED TOMORROW

strictly local field.
Georgetown. which dropped a SO
game yesterday to Harvard at Cam
bridge. will encounter Yale at New
Haven, and Waseda University Of
Japan will show its wares at Guam
tico, Va, against the Marine nine.
Tcuneo Matsudaira, Japanese Amhas-
sador, and 5 members of his staff will
attend the latter game.
Catholic University was to entertain
Gallaudet tracksters in q meet this
afternoon at Brookland. The affair is
the last on the schedule of both
schools. The Cardinals were expected
to triumph handily.
In the only other attraction inyolv.
ing a local college today, Maryland's 8
tennis team was to face Navy at An
napolis in the seasons finale for the
Old Line racketers.
In vOnquishing Georgetown vester.
day Harvard evened scores with the
Hilltop team that trimmed the Cam.
bridge boys here earlier in the season.
The Blue and Gray's defeat yesterday
can be attributed to it's failure to solve
the offerings Of Jack Barbee, Crimson
hurler, who yielded but four hits and
fanned eight. BarDee held George.
