York University Friday and
the other between Catholic
University and Washington and
Lee Saturday. are expected to furnish
the highligf1ts of the coming week in
local varsity athletics. The Gothamites
are TO bring here one of the best teams
in the East, while Catholic University
is slated to face at Lexington one of
the cleverest outfits in the South At
lantic section.
1t Is likely that larger crowd will
attend the match between New York
u. and Georgetown than has seen any
other local athletic event this Winter.
Georgetown's squad did not show so
well against the Navy, but that was
expected as Navy goes in for boxing
to far greater extent than other COL
leges around here. 1t is thought by the
Blue and Gray that its team will be in
better shape to face the New York ag-
gregation and some excellent matches
are looked for. At least, Georgetown
people expect nothing other than some
warm bouts with their boxers having
close to an even break.
Catholic University, encouraged by
its victory over a much-touted Temple
squad. will go 10 Washington and Lee
Saturday with the idea of winning. If
the Brooklanders fail to bring back the
honors it will not be because they lack
confidence.
No basket ball games are scheduled
tomorrow night or Tuesday night, but
what ought to be the best game of the
week is to take place Wednesday when
Georgetown goes to Annapolis to en-
gage Navy. The Blue and Gray ex-
- "a "a "a rtsp ~ 81
and the records of the two u1irtS so far
indicate that it has better than an
even chance. But any team has got
to play lot better basket ball, or get
more breaks, to win from Navy at
Annapolis. the floor giving Navy quite
an advantage.
The big local game is that between
! Catholic University and George Wash
ington at Brookland, Wednesday night.
or course, the interest that ATTACHES to
this game is not as great as 1t would
be If both teams were as strong as
last year, but, nevertheless, considerable
/ rivalry has been built UP between the
two colleges in the last few yeaas and
any contest between them should at
tract many followers of each. Two
other cold rivals will face when Johns
Hopkins and Maryland meet in Balti-
more. Hopkins beat Maryland three
weeks ago at College Park, but since
that time has not been doing SO well,
except for the fine game 1t played
against Georgetown.

The flag end of the Winter season in
athletics will be marked this week by
the advent of Spring sports. Possibly
the fields may not be covered with ath-
letes. and probably will not be for some
days to come. but indoors. the base ball
pitchers and catchefs will begin to linn
Der up and indoors or outdoors the foot
ball squad at Georgetown will be called
out for Spring practice. Before this week
Is ended practically every college here
and near here that supports base ball
win have at least part of its squad
working. especially the battery candi-
dates. while Spring foot ball and track
also viii take chance on getting out
side for their first practice.
One Of the leading boxers New York
q. will send against Georgetown FRIDAY
is Sargisson, who played guard on the
championship Violet foot ball team last
Fall. He Is declared to be nearly the
equal Of Lassf11aii, an unusually prom
! isifig heavyweight, whose ring career
has been at least interrupted as the re.
suit of foot ball injury last Fall.
Georgetown Is confident of making a
creditable showing against the visitors
despite their rather impressive reputa-
ton. The Hoyas have been handi-
capped in recent bouts because they
have had to compete without depend
able members who were on the shelf
with injuries.
/ AS usual, Friday nights bouts, which
will start at $50 o'clock, will be con-
Quoted in formal manner. Tickets
Of admission may be obtained by call
ing at the Georgetown athletic Office.

been announced as follows:
Marnnel, lis pounds; Pinsky, 125;
Slclowich. 1888: Gold, 146; Delhaufn
