OOLLEGE basket ball gets
under way here tomorrow
~ and Saturday. Local coach
eS are due to trot out their
players for their opening COM
petition, in which they hope to
get such a line on them that they
may make plans for the real be-
ginning of the schedules after the
holidays. Georgetown, American
University and Gallaudet play to-
morrow night and Georgetown
and Gallaudet have games Sat-
nrday.
Georgetown opens its season with
Gettysburg College and may get more
of a battle than a team generally de-
BireS in its opening contest. Gettysburg
1etes in every sport and if the caliber of
Ats players on the court measures up to
lthat of those who played foot ball, then
Georgetown may not win as easily as
at would like. And then, of course, 1t
possibly may not win at all. The Blue
and Grays' game with Baltimore Uni
versity Saturday night is not likely to
be so difficult unless the Baltimoreans
do considerably better than they have
an other sports. Both Georgetown
games are to be played in the Tech
gymnasium.
Johnny Colrick, new Blue and Gray
court coach, has had little to say about
mis- team, but thinks that he should
develop a fairly capable five. Lack of
practice, though, because several of the
men were out for foot ball, may pre-
vent the kind of showing he would like
70 make in his opening game.
Both Gallaudet games are to be
played on trip. The Kendall Green
ers meet Haverford at Haverford and
Drexel Institute at Philadelphia, the
former tomorrow night and the latter
Saturday. The Kendall Greeners have
back veteran five and expect to be
represented by one of their strongest
teams. In all probability Wurdemann
and Hokansen will start as forwards,
Brown and Braley guards and the bril-
liant R1ngle at center. CoSgrove, cap
tain and the best forward on the squad.

Yesterdays was the usual opening

team is fortunate in having at least one

INCIDENTALLY, it might be men
i toned that Navy is not worrying
much about basket ball right now,
and for coach to get team up TO
play in that sport is real job Johnny
Wilson must have done exceedingly well
IN order to have his team in any kind
OF frame Of mind. All the Midship-
men are thinking about now is the foot
ball game with Army Saturday. The
whole regiment was on the side lines
OF the foot ball field yesterday cheering
tfe practice, and the band also was
present TO add stimulus to the efforts
OF the players.
The squad leaves today for New York.
The Navy will have its headquarters at
the Commodore from this evening until
Sunday morning
Despite the fact that on paper Army
seems the stronger team. the Navy is
optimistic. No matter what the out
come OF the game, there is nobody at
Annapolis right now who thinks any
thing other than that Navy is going TO
come through triumphantly.
