pretty sure to be crowded, parking
space at a premium around the
Brookland gymnasium, and Buff
and Blue five fairly certain to find
itself with greater support in the
stands than one has seen in a
decade or more.
Be it known that George Washington
folk are sitting up and taking notics of
what their baskst ball team is doing
Among the Buff and Blue supporters 1t
is currently heard that their team is as
good as any in the section and that
what they have done SO far is only a
beginning. And tonight they will jour-
ney out to Catholic University with the
1uIl expectation of acquiring another
scalp.
It is only natural that the brilliant
showing against Navy on Wednesday of
last week and victories Friday and Sat-
urday over Villanova and Drexel should
arouse a good deal of enthusiasm
among those that have been waiting for
something to happen in George Wash
ington athletics over which they could
STOW some real partisan spirit. It is
likely that the big c. U. gym will be
overtaxed with rabid Colonial sup
porters.
Actually George washington people
Will go to Brookland looking for two
victories instead of one, as their Fresh
man five meets the Catholic U. Fresh
men in a preliminary to the varsity
game. The Freshman contest is to be-
gin at 7:30 O'Clock, and the varsity i'm
mediately after, about $50 o'clock.
Changes in the line of either team
are unlikely. Coach Pixlee of George
Washington thinks he has a happy
combination and no reason to break it
up. He might find a combination less
effective, but the chances are he would
not find one any more effective. 1t is
Pixlees policy to let well enough alone
as far as his lineup is concerned.
Catholic University also is likely to
stand pat on its team, as, while it has
not been doing as well as George WASH
ington, it figures the only chance for 1t
to come through is for it to keep its
lineup intact so that the players may
develop maximum of teamwork.
CEORGETOWN, as it prepares to go
~ TO Baltimore tonight to play Johns
Hopkins in the first game in which
It has appeared since the holidays, in
dicates that it has a fighting quint,
which has not vet found the basket
accurately enough to be classed as
real good outfit That. at least, seems
to be the opinion of those that have
watched the team closely in its prac-
tice sessions.
1--WE have a good basket ball team"
as one man expressed it yesterday, but
not real good one. BY that mean
that we have a team that viii play
lot of basket ball. but will lose games.
with such a fighting spirit as is evil
dent in the players, we cannot be beaten
very much by anybody, but unless we
develop greater accuracy In shooting
we are not going to score very many
points. It goes without saying tnat
without a good point-scuring team we
cannot win very many games. How
ever, we do have a crowd OF battlers,
and any five we play will know 1t mas
been in real game"
The Blue and Gray team tonight
probably Will face Hopkins with MOTIFS
and Emil Bozek in the forward POSI-
lions, Billion at center and Snay ana
Maczees at guards. The game Is to
be played at 8 o'clock in the Loyola
College gymnasium.
TT is not believed that Navy expected
i to lose Bill Ingram, its foot ball
coach, but now that it has it IS UP
against a proposition of finding some
body to take his place. The coacnlng

of this wear. those now in charge at
Navy leaned away from this just bit
and felt that they should expand III

cially more coaches to tutor the differ

another for the tackles and so on, but

at ANNAPOLIS that 1t is doubtful II any
other civilian would-that of himself

of its policies and its undercurrents,
which are there Just as they are pres

Nobody at the Naval Academy ques-
tions Migrants ability as coach, viz

could do Just about as good work as any
mentor Probably he could have re-
manned at Annapolis as long as he
might have desired.
Johnny Scalzi. dependable George
town guard, will be unable to get IN
the Hopkins game as he is suffering
slight attack of grip. It is expected,
however. that he will be ready for the
Duouesne contest Friday night at Tech.
Sbalzi will be missed, but the Hoya
squad recently has been bolstered
through the acquisition Of Johnny
Bozek, a senior, who was an outstand-
ing performer on the hardwood for
Gonzaga before entering Georgetown,
but has not been allowed to play basket
hall for the Hoyas because it was feared
he might be incapacitated for the grid
iron.
Gallaudet's basketers, who thus far
have won games and lost 4, are drnl-
ing for their next game against st.
Johns Friday night at Annapolis.
