as In boxing, III All PROBABILITY the
basket ban Championships wall bring to-
getner the strongest group OF teams
mat have ever come together as repre-
sentauveS OF Southern INSTITUTIONS.
The wrestling tournament, held the
last two years at Virginia Military In
stltute, Is not so popular nor so well at
tended as the other three championship
competitions. Not so many schools are
taking part IN the mat sport, and, while
the sport seems to be taking new lease
on lie among the PROFESSIONALS In the
colleges IL gives every appearance Of
travenng a last gait down grade. How
ever, in wrestling some gOOu men VIII
come together, as IL Is reported that
both North Carolina ana Washington
ana Lee have exceptional teams.
All IN all, 1t seems LIIaC some OF the
best competition eYef seen osLween
Winter sporCS teams Is hkeIy 10 take
pace in these tournaments. Al least,
that is ting opinion OF those directly In
charge OF them.
VTIRGINIA'S basket ball team is here
today for two games, the first to-
night at the University OF Mary
land and the second tomorrow at Cath
ole University. The Cavaliers have
not previously played the Brookland
five, but down at Charlottesville the
first of last week took the measure OF
Maryland by margin of 3 points. To-
night the Virginians believe they have
an even chance to win again, notnwith-
standing that one might ordinarily
figure it TO be Marylanos turn. The
game tonight begins at $50.
GEORGETOWN is the other local fve
with a game tonight, being scheduled
to meet Duquesne University at Pitts
burgh. The Duquesne five won from
the Blue and Gray here some time ago.
Three local colleges play on local
floors tomorrow night. The Catholic
University-Vi Virginia game already mas
been mentioned, and IN addition to that
Maryland entertains Western Mary
land, and Gallaudet plays Southeastern
University on the Central ~" floor.
Catholic University probably Will have
the odds against it in meeting Viz
GINA, while Maryland ought to defeat
Western Maryland.
Two local fiyes play on foreign floors,
GEORGETOWN at Carnegie Tech, American
University at Salem College, Salem, W.
Va. Carnegie Tech may possibly be
more than a match for Georgetown,
while nothing is known OF what kind OF
q team represents Salem.
While three local basket ball teams
are playing in their own territory and
two away, Catholic UniverSity'S boxers
will tackle Bucknell at Lewisburg. The
Brookland fighters realize they will be
against a much more experienced COM
bination, but are hopeful.
a LII THREE local college basket ball
IA teams, Georgetown, Catholic u
and American u. took 1t on the
"bean" in games in the West Virginia
Pittsburgh sector last night.
West Virginia beat Georgetown for
