Freshmen. Not only will fans
get their first glimpse of Coach
Boyd'S entry, but impressions on
how the Gray warriors will stack
up against as capable a foe as
the Brookland yearlings.
Eyes On Tech Five
The reason many eyes are on
the Tech Five is because Of their
championship potentialitieS which
seem to bring themselves out
every basketball season. A title
has been won now for two years
straight and each time with Q
combination that has been built
from the ground up, practically.
This season Coach Boyd
has only Nal Johns and Ev.
erett Russell as veterans.
The question is, win he win
another championship with
these two players and those
at hand?
Reichardt, a forward; Beach,
center; and Reed, Wilson and
johnson, guards: are new players
this year down in Coach Boyd's
mind as first-string men.
They will play today. They
might lose to Catholic University
but the question is, will they look
the part of championship players
along with Russell and Johns?
Their possibilities, Techs poSsibili.
ties will be known sometime this
evening.
Alumni Stars Play
Mention should be given Con.
Zaga's game with its Alumni.
Such former star players as the
McVean brothers, Bob and
Charlie; Danny Pyne, Tom and
Fred Brew, the Farrells, Jake. AL
and Tom, and others will be in
the Alumni lineup.
Coach Mitchell's lineup will be
selected from Nolan, Fitzgerald,
Hestor, Hall, Mills, Donohoe and
others.
