~ tomorrow another trip, thi
time to New York and New
Jersey. With the exception CT thu
game with George Washington or
March 6, these three contests to be
played on the journey marks the
wind-up of the Brooklanders' sea-
son.
Tomorrow night st. Johns Col
lege Of Brooklyn is to be met, Fri
day the team remains in Brooklyn
to play the 10th Regiment five
and Saturday drops down to
South Orange, N. j., to play Seton
Hall.
Just what success the Brookland five
viii have on the trip is only a matter
Of conjecture, as its record has been
such that the impossibility of pre-
dieting what it may or may not do is
easily apparent. At times it has
played as good basket ball as any other
team, but in some games has per-
formed far below its actual capabilities.
Another factor that enters into the
Is the lack of knowledge of the
strength Of the teams to be met Prob
ably they are not nearly as good as
George washington and DuqueSne, de-
feated by Catholic University, yet un-
doubtedly are stronger than some of
those that have whipped the local
school.
AS has been said before, Catholic
Oniversity's main trouble has been poor
shooting. If the Brooklanders could
get their collective eye on the basket
and make good fair percentage Of
their shots. they might come back with
three scalps hanging at their belts.
Until they do make good on their tries
for the baskets, though, they are always
going to have plenty of difhculty.
CEoRGETowN and Maryland wind
" up thei- schedules tonight. The
Blue and Gray goes to Baltimore
70 play Loyola and Maryland has Hop
ktns here. Plenty of opposition Is IN
front Of Georgetown, as Loyola has an
exceptionally strong quint. The Blue
and Gray should consider itself lucky
to get away with the long end of the
score. as the odds seem to favor the
Baltimoreans. However, the local
school has a fighting combination that
at times has played good enough
basket ball to beat almost any college
i've. It may have such good evening
and take Loyola into camp.
Maryland meets Hopkins with one Of
It's star players In rather poor shape.
Berger twisted an ankle last week In the
game with Navy. Without him 1t is
doubtful II Maryland could win, and
With him in bad shape the Old
Liners probably have no better than an
even chance. Over in Baltimore in
Hopkins by - points.
The Georgetown-L.oyola game In Bal
ttmore begins at $50 and the Mary
land-Hopkins at College Park at sis
O'Clock.
Besides the game Catholic University
plays at st. Johns tomorrow night
American University also tries con-
illusions with an opponent on a foreign
floor. American University also meets
st. Johns, it being due to go TO An
napolis to meet the college Of that name
located in that town. The local five
VIII have its hands full, as st. Johns Is
stronger than its number of victories
this season would seem to indicate.
NAvY'S announcement Of. two foot
- 0oA eS&AlGo WAbA1 \OiuluOl6 OHlS
yersity, one to be played at An
napolis and the other at New York, Is
part OF policy the Navy is adopting
Of having better games at home. It Is
the Intention Of those In charge Of ath-
1etics at Annapolis to play at Annapolis
IN some OF the big games that for the
last few years have been away The
Navy undoubtedly feels that it has
played too many games in Baltimore
and it further feels that it should have
visited Annapolis at one time or an
other the best schools it meets on the
grtdiron.
incidentally, the two games with Co
lumbta are something Of tenstrike for
Columbia, as game with Navy in New
York Is real proposition from every
point OF view. The ground work for this
was laid in December, when Lou Little
came down here from New York TO at
tend banquet. His real mission was a
visit to Annapolis to arrange for foot
ball games with Navy Little said at
the time I'VE want TO play Navy and
! believe Navy Is going 70 give us the
games, as we feel such games will be
mutually advantageous.
GEORGE WASHINGTON took st.
" Johns scalp at Annapolis last
night. BY this time. the An
napolis five must feel that it has no
hair left. as a week ago they dropped
a game TO the Buff and Blue on the
local floor
The score last night was 80 TO IS.
which gave George Washington a VIC
tory by little better margin than
that by which 1t won the first con-
test.
