i Most important of the contests
are those in which Georgetown
meets Pen State and Maryland faces
Hopkins, but it may be that the Catholic
Villanova meeting will be
Just as good as either of those mention
ed. Gallaudet ought to take the meas
ure of Shepherd College without much
difficulty.
Pen State usually is represented by a
strong team in every sport and probably
will give Georgetown great battle. The
Blue and Gray has one OF its best
quints, perhaps its best since 1915, and
it will take the best opposition of which
the PennsylvanianS have ever been cap
able to carry scalp at its belt after
tonight'S game.
Hopkins will bring to Maryland a
large part of its student body and VIII
come hoping for victory. The Balti-
morians would rather beat Maryland
than any other school in the world, and,
on the other hand. Maryland is seldom
very keen about taking whipping from
them. The result is just the kind OF
spirited battle that results when two
teams face under such conditions.
From a standpoint of crowd and gen.
eral interest and intenseness of play the
Maryland Hopkins game should be the
best of the local year. Maryland may be

against Virginia, as he has been at home
with the flu since the team returned
from Charlottesville.
Catholic University does not have
the team this year that wore its coiorS
a year ago, but on its home floor,
against a real rival, it will play hard
and good basket ball.
Shepherd College usually is not as
strong as Gallaudet and on the Kendall
Green floor the latter ought to win
without much trouble.
All games will begin at O'Clock.
George Washington will entertain
University of Baltimore in the Colonial
gym and Gallaudet will go to Anna
polls to meet st. Johns in basket ball
games tomorrow night.
In the Baltimore team clash Maud
Crum's Colonials, who were beaten by
American u, IL to 33, in their opening
match Wednesday night, will strive to
get started on a winning stride.
GaIlaudet will encounter a strong
team in st. Johns, coached by Tody
Riggers, former University of Maryland
athletic star The Johnnies defeated
Western Maryland last night, 43 to 30.
University of Maryland honored its
foot ball team last night at the annual
BANQUET to the varsity and freshman
squad and the croSs-country team. The
varsity eleven and freshman eleven had
successful schedules and so did the
cross-country squad, but the general
tenor of the banquet was that these
teams we're honored not so much for
the victories they had won, but for the
fine spirit of cooperation and team play |
evident all during the year, it being |
held that these factors, developed in a |
squad, are much more valuable than |
the mere winning of contests. 1t was |
rather a remarkable train of thought |
and attitude for a banquet in honor |
of perhaps three of the greatest Fall |
teams Maryland has ever turned out j

legend, Maryland, s; Yale, o. were
awarded all members of the squad who
remained out during the entire season.
RibnitZski, Fisher and Warcholy just
barely missed being in enough games to
get their letters, but they with IL other
members of the squad got the foot balls.
DR.. Harry j. Patterson, dean of the
College of Agriculture and director of
the experiment station. was honored by
the athletic board with a suitable pres
entation and address given by DR.. F.
B. Bomberger as mark of apprecia-
ton of the very material aid he has
given athletics from time to time.
Charley Fenwick. whose work with
tlhe foot ball squad last Fall won him
q place in the hearts of all those con-
nected with the university, also was the
recipient of presentation as mark
of the esteem in which he is held at
College Park.
At the end of the banquet reso-
luton offered by Fred Linton, presi-
dent of the students assembly, ex-
pressed the hope for the quick recovery
of President Pearson and regret that
he could not be present President
