Washington and Lee tomorrow,
both in the Tech High gymnas-

tomorrow night. Both George
town games begin at $3.50, while
the one at Maryland starts
at S:15.

it must not be thought that George

thing is certain, that Georgetown VIII

that they should be given just about
an even chance IN any OF their con-
tests. In other words, Catholic Uni

have been something of the unusual,
but two such victories do not come In
the same week. A team never plays

when It does that, as might have been
the case against George Washington,
It never comes back and whips good
