C. j. WILL RESUME
WITH THREE T|LTS
G. w. and C. U. Clash Tues
day-AT Teams Have One
or More Hard Games.
BY H. C. BYRD.

U6dm Is bIl6 1dSJ Oh local
~ college f1ves to get back
on the boards following
the holidays, but comes out this
week with three games. Tuesday
the Blue and Gray goes to Balti-
more to meet Johns Hopkins, Fri
day entertains Duquesne Uni
versity in the Tech High gymna-
SUM and Saturday plays Wash
ington and Lee on the same floor.
Up on the Hilltop there is definite
feeling that team is in process of de-
velopment which should be capable of
giving any of its opponents busy 40
minutes. Coach Colrick is not given to
expanding to any considerable extent
on his teams outlook, but says:
Our basket ball team may not be as
good as some teams Georgetown has
turned out, but it should be good
enough to give the other fellow a good
battle every time we go out. And we
may be strong enough to surprise some
of the boys at times We. should have
q typical Georgetown team, one that is
not likely to whip everything in sight,
but which should get its share of vic
tories and in its defeats make the other
team know that real basket ball game
has been played"
Another game in which Georgetown
will take part in which there is sure to
be exceptional interest is that between
the Georgetown and Maryland Fresh
man fiveS as a preliminary to the
Georgetown Varsity washington and
Lee meeting. Both the Georgetown and
Maryland first year quints are said to
be exceptionally strong, and should put
up an exhibition just about as good as
some varsity games.
GEORGE WASHINGTON and Cath
- Ole University get together Tues
day night in one of their partisan bat
ties. And, not satisfied with having
their varsity teams play, the two
schools are sending their freshman f1ves
against each other as a preliminary to
the big set-to. Considerable rivalry has
developed between Catholic University
and George Washington, and games be-
tween them are proving more and more
attractive. Last Fall, Notwithstanding
the losing season George Washington
was winding up and the exceedingly
poor record Catholic University had
made, the annual foot ball game be-
tween them from the stands was one of
the most. spirited of the year. The
game was played as If everything in the
world depended on it, and the highly
partisan groups in the stands acted as
If they also felt that way aboHt it.
Duquesne University is to show here
wednesday. night against American
University in the first of two games it
is to play on local floors. 1t probably
will have a much stronger team than
American u. usually meets, but, at that,
it may have trouble winning. Du-
quesne's other game has already been
mentioned, that with Georgetown
Thursday.
American University this week has
one game away, being listed to go TO
Towson Friday night to meet the Mary
land State Normal School. This is one
contest that the local five ought to con-
slider in the bag, unless Oscar Sells and
the other young gentlemen with him
fall much flatter in their efforts than
they have so far this season.
George Washington, after playing
Catholic University, jumps down into
Virginia to play two games. Thursday
It meets Randolph-Maco at Ashland
and Friday tries conclusions with Vir-
ginia Medical College at Richmond.
The Colonials, If they keep up the pace
they set last week, ought TO bring back
the long end Of the score in both con-
tests.
GaIlaudet has only one tilt carded,
but that should prove as much, If not
more, than it can handle. The Kendall
Greeners go to Annapolis Friday to
play st. Johns and the Johnnies have
one Of the best quints in the State of
Maryland this season. Dutch Lentz,
the Johnnies' new mentor, is a wise
coach, too.
T UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND has
~ only two games this week, but is
likely to find plenty of trouble in
both. Thursday night the Duke quint
comes here, and last year Duke was
just about the best team In the South
Maryland was beaten by Duke then by
a margin Of 2 points in one OF the
greatest games played in this vicinity.
Two of the stars of the Duke team
are former Washington High School
players, Croson Of Tech at center and
Capeli of Eastern at forward. The
other game for the Old Liners is with
Loyola Saturday night, and there prob
ably are some things the Baltimoreans
would rather do IN athletics than beat
Maryland, but these things are not
known. Loyola has good team and
last year ranked among the best IN the
section. 1t has back practically its
whole squad.
The position of the University Of
Maryland in athletics in the State OF
Maryland is not especially easy, as 1t
generally IS looked upon, outside the
State, as representing the State and
this causes all the other schools in the
State continually to desire above every
thing else to whip the Old Liners.
With every other school shooting at
A. an the time Maryland does not al
ways escape unscathed. While generally
IN all-round athletics 1t enjoys q high
er ranking than any other school in
the State, IL nevertheless takes its whip
pings from them In first one sport then
another. Last year, for instance, st.
Johns put a crimp in the Old Line
lacross teams otherwise indicated
record and Western Maryland took fall
out of the foot ball squad. Three years
ago Washington College was victor in
basket ball. It is not easy for Mary
land to maintain all its sports on a
higher plane than all the other schools
maintain particular sports on which
they lay special emphasis.
DILL ALEXANDER Of Georgia Tech
ID at a dinner Friday night apparently
laid down the law to Georgia Tech
students in general and TO his athletics
IN particular. The substance Of Alex
ander's talk was that student politics
as mixed up In athletics had to go, and
that one Of the ways by which such
poliics would be eliminated is in not
electing a foot ball captain for next
Fall. 1t seems that so much dissension
has arisen in the last few years over
the election of captain that the dis
sension has been carried by the squad
through the following seasons, with the
results that Tech has not done as well
rs expected. This question Of student poll
