FLOOR FOR BATTLE
Many Hoya Fans to Go With
iTeam-G. w. and C. u. Meet
in BrookIand Gym.

1.-TWO games of more than usual in
terest in District college basket
ball circles are carded tomorrow
Il when Georgetown meets Navy
at Annapolis in an afternoon
game at $50 o'clock, and Catholic Uni
versity and George washington meet
in the gym at Brookland at 8 pm.
Both of these matches will bring to-
gether old rivals and should be keenly
contested
It is certain that quite large dele
cation of Georgetown fans will accom-
pany the team to Annapolis. Hoya
adherents figure the Blue and Gray
has an excellent chance of vanquishing
Navy in view of the more impressive
records of the teams so far.
Neither George Washington nor Cath
Ole University has shown much this
season. each having won only one game,
but they appear well matched and
likely to put on an entertaining battle
Base ball and Spring foot ball practice
now is under way at Georgetown. Bat
terry candidates were to report to Coach
Bucky O'Neil in Ryan gymnasium today
for their second drill and aspirants for

port to Assistant Coaches John Da

for first drills yesterday. The whole
base ball squad will not be called until
weather and ground conditions are
suitable, probably some time next week.
BackfieId candidates will be called by
Lou Little, head foot ball coach,
Thursday.
Ralph Duplin, senior and for the
past two seasons center fielder has been
chosen as captain of the 1929 Blue and
(lvNaN tVNn GtnnA-
ham, Mass, also played quarterback on
the Varsity foot ball team last Fall. He
is unusually fast.
OF the seven pitchers who turned out

seasons Varsity team, four came up

Jack Byrnes, came out for the team in
1927, but was unable to report last

Murphy, Pozzo and Tardugno have
been lost to Georgetown's boxing team
which meets New York University FRI
day night IN Ryan gym. Murphy, who
was being depended upon to represent
the Hoyas In the 175-pound division
against the New Workers, has been
asked by his parents to quit boxing.
A ruling of Hilltop authorities that
freshmen will not be permitted to take
part in the New York University
matches or in the intercollegiate cham
pionships has caused the loss Of Pozzo
and Tardugno. PoZzo won the only bout
captured by Georgetown last week in the
Yale meet. Tardugno triumphed in his
first bout in the Western Maryland
meet, but received injuries which has
since kept him on the shelf. He was
expected to be ready, however, Friday
night.
Charley Fish, who suffered q broken
hand several weeks ago, may be ready
for the New York University meet.
