At that, though, SpringSton is not 81
confident of defeating Gallaudet, as h
declares the Kendall Greeners to be {

Capt. Jack La Favre, a veteran, ana
Forrest Burgess, former Central High
School star, will be at forwards for the

squad, a. g;1G1dS.
In addition to Field, Red Olsen, for
ward, who has had experience in
scholastic ranks in New York; Bill
Washburn, who also has shown well in
schoolboy circles, and Carl Levin, a
guard, who was member of the squad
last season until he suffered stroke
of appendicitis, are other players likely
to break into the A. U. lineup before
the game is over Warren Hayes, for
ward, who, in Springston's opinion. is
the best basket ball player in this city,
is out of the going temporarily with an
injured foot.
GalIaudet Is Strong.
Gallaudet expects to start CoSgrove
and Drapiewski at forwards, Cain at
center and Hokanson and Monaghan
or Ringle at guards. Yoder is also
likely to get into the combat.
Capt. Dyer. crack forward, will be
out of Gallaudet's lineup as the result
of a badly wrenched knee, which has
kept him off the court recently. He
probably will not be able to get into
the game for week or more. Despite
Dyer's absence, Coach Krug will pre-
sent formidable combination that
doubtless will offer A. u. highly en-
tertaining evening
Wurdemann, Grinnell, Stebbins,
Bradley and Katz are other tossers who
may be sent into the fray by Krug
before it is over.
Jack Daley and Dutch Eberts are the
officials selected for the game tonight.
There will be preliminary between a
couple of student teams of American
University starting at O'Clock.
