COLON|ALS IN RING
DEBUT TOMORROW
Face Cardinal Boxers at
C. U.-Hoya Quintet Wins.
Maryland Loses.

Wv WITH the basketers inactive,
M so far as local floors are
concerned, boxers will pro-
vide the college athletic en-
tertainment here tomorrow night. The
flstic show will be staged in the spa
cious gymnasium at Brookland, and it
should prove more than ordinarily in
'teresting, too, for the opposing teams
will represent Catholic University and
George Washington University, long
rivals in varsity sports.
For the Cardinals it will be Just an
other boxing battle, for they have pur-
sued the sport for several seasons, and
already have been under fire In the
ring this Winter. For the Colonials it
will be something else, as the encounter
will mark their debut In the varsity
boxing business.
The Cardinals have a fairly we'll
rounded team of fist fingers that may
this time include Johnny Oliver, who
performed so brilliantly on the grid
iron last Fall. Oliver lately has taken
to the boxing game. and has revealed
so much worth as glove handler he
possibly will enter one of the bouts to-
morrow. While George Washington
has had no experience as a college IL,
boxing, several members of its team
have been in action frequently.
The boxing is to begin at $50 o'clock.
and after the start no one will be adj
mitted to the gymnasium.
Georgetown basketers turned the
tables on the West Virginia quint here
last night, getting revenge for a de-
feat suffered earlier in the season al
Morgantown by scoring a 34-to-31 vic
tory.
1t was sturdy and aggressive team
that West Virginia had on the floor,
but its clustering offense was more than
matched by the smooth Georgetown
play. The Hoyas went into the second
half with only a 14-to-13 advantage, at
that, and had to fight desperately &c
keep in the game.
With less than three minutes to 20
the Mauntaineers managed to make the
count 30-ail, then the Hoyas stepped
out to squeeze through to victory. The

The much heralded and long

Warner Bros. "Noah's Ark with
beautiful Dolores Costello in the
stellar role, has a spectacular and
imposing opening today at the
Capitol Theater. Ii Is a magni-
ticent spectacle. II stirred the
capacity audience to wild applause
and cheering. Never has such a
breath-taking film been seen. Its
cumulative effect j. tremendous.
Never before have such mighty
spectacular effects been achieved
upon the screen. The subject is
the most powerful and dramatic
recorded In the Old Testament, and
Warner Bros, have made 10 the
most absorbing. thrilling and spec
tacular production ever filmed.
"Noah's Ark" comes through the
test magnificently, justifying all
the claims that have been made
for it by Warner Bros, who have
nursed it from It's infancy to its
present gigantic growth. The Sc
quences are impressive and dra-
matte. The settings, vast to an
unbelievable degree. add power and
a quality Of majesty to the colorful
drama Of the flood sequences. while
the accompanying effects are ire
mendous and startling.
