tertain Potomac Boat Club in the
Columbia Heights School gym, Emerson

Central is apt to find the Potomac
| ali, -
| men have garnered squad including
many players of proved worth.
Emerson expects to present stalwart
| quint against Y. M. G. A. College, a
newcomer TO court ranks here which
is hopeful Of making an auspicious
debut.
Western has formidable team and
likely will furnish st. Marys Celtics
! worthy competition.
BENJAMIN Franklin University has
been represented in basket ball before
by capable players and is reported to

these quintS hook up.

the Eastern gym to meet the Light

Molay chapter there, Landon Schools
quint will meet faculty team in the
Landon gym and Business will play
its alumni on the Stenog floor.
| Coach Charlie Guyon's Eastern toss
ers probably will f1nd Emerson a stout
foe. Much interest attaches to. the
showing of the Lincoln Parkers in this
game, the first Of the campaign for
them. Fans want to see just how
Eastern will perform under FIRE.
Leading members Of the Eastern
squad include Capt. Jimmy Ryan,
Kenny Finneran, Barney Kane, for
wards; Bill Noonan, center; Danny
KesSler, Ralph Bucca, Joe Robey, Billy
Wells, guards, and Ben. Mccullough
! and Ben lola, forwards or guards.
srnIy e.
five on the floor to defeat Western, It
is believed; woodward and ST. Albans
| probably will offer q peppery tilt:
Rockville and Hyattsville High likely
will prove rather well matched; Bliss
doubtless will give the Freredick De
Molays all they are looking for in the
way Of opposition; Landon faculty,
with Gordon KeSsler, Paul Banfield,
Wilson Brown and Ralph Green In ac-
ton, hope to make 1t hot for the school
f1ve, and Business and its alumni will,
1t Is figured, put on lively tilt.

tain-raiser to the Hoya varsity -Univer-
University gym; Central and Fred
