~ FORGE WASHINGTON will
meet Navy at Annapolis and
Y Maryland will open its season
against Gallaudet at College
Park in important college basket ball
contests hereabouts tomorrow. The
Colonials will meet the Middies in the
afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock, and the Old
Liners will entertain the Blues at 8
O'Clock in Richie Gymnasium.
Boosting wins over Shenandoah and
Baltimore University in its starts to
date this season, George Washington
will be hot after a victory over the
MiddieS. The Colonials, pleased at their
showing on the gridiron against Navy
the past Fall, are keen to also make
good showing against the Middies on
the hardwood.
For both George Washington and
Navy the game will mark resumption OF
competition following the holidays. The
MiddieS won all OF their nrSt three
games last month.
Forrest Burgess and either Fred Null
vey or Johnny Fenlon will start as for
wards for George Washington. Mulvey,
however, may be at center. If he Is not
Wayne Chambers will be found holding
down the pivot post. Jack Conner and
OTIS Zahn will be at the guards.
ToACH BURTON, sHIPLEY of the
~ Old Liners still was debating today
as to whom he would start against
Gallaudet.
However it is likely that Jack Norris
will be at center, Bozey Berger and
Shorty Chalmers will be the forwards
and Bus PitZer and Ed Ronkin the
guards. This is the way Shipley began
a practice scrimmage last night.
It is possible, though, that Berger
may be at center, with Chalmers and
Norris or Bob Wilson as the forwards
and Pitzer and Ronkin in the guard
positions.
Charlie May, guard, who is ailing at
present, and Fred Stieber, forward or
guard, are the other leading players Of
the team and make up the eight Ship
ley will take to Lexington, Va, for the
Southern Conference games with w. M.
1. and Washington and Lee Friday and
Saturday
Skippy Faber and Bill Luney, who
played at Eastern and Western, respec-
ticely, are on the squad at present, but
neither has had previous varsity ex-
perience. Both are juniors and Luney
was on the Old Line freshman squad.
Faber did not play as yearling. Both
are suffering from sore feet.
Bob Gaylor, guard and center, who
was the leading scorer last season, who
announced his intention of quitting
school, did not put in appearance yes
terday with the opening of classes fol-
lowing the Christmas holidays. He has
not been with the squad since last
Tuesday.
Gaylor,s going and the injury to Pat
Rooney, along with the graduation of
Julie Radice, Al Heagy, Bill Evans, Fred
Hetzel and George Madigan, brought
the loss of last seasons letter men up
to seven.
Berger, Chalmers, Ronkin, Norris and
May are the letter men Remaining.
Gallaudet, which has won two games
and lost two, will show improvement
over recent exhibitions in the Maryland
game If intensive drilling means any,
thing. Despite their easy win over
Strayer's Saturday night, the Blues
were not impressive, and Coach Krug
has been busy polishing the squad both
on offense and defense.
Strayer and Columbus University
quints will come to grips tonight in a
Washington Collegiate Conference title
game on the Central High court at 8
o'clock.
Columbus also has an engagement to-
morrow night on the Central floor at
the same time. The Crimson will en-
terrain the fast Shepherd College quint
which easily defeated the Crimson
earlier in the season at Shepherdstown.
Columbus, however, will have players at
hand tomorrow night who were not on
the job at Shepherdstown and hope to
make stronger showing.
Georgetown and Catholic University
court squads were to resume practice
today following the holidays. The Hoyas
will not play until January 10, when
they meet Johns Hopkins at Baltimore,
but the Cardinals have an engagement
with Geneva Saturday night at Brook
land.
Both the G. U. and c. U. squads were
due to get new blood today. Johnny
Bozek, who made a brilliant record in
basket ball with Gonzaga, but who has
not been allowed to play previously for
the Hoyas, was listed to report to Coach
Johnny Colrick, while the G. U. squad
figured to have back little Mike Ma
rucci, who played on the team last
season, but has been unable to get in
action so far this season because Of
back ailment.
