~ GEORGETOWN is the only
" local college without a
~ basket ball game this
week end. The Blue and
Gray has not played since the
holidays, and will not reopen its
schedule until next Tuesday, when
it journeys to Baltimore to meet
Johns Hopkins. After that the
Blue and Gray has as full a list
as the other schools.
Four of the games listed tonight and
tomorrow take place on foreign floors,
Catholic University and American u.
having the only contests at home. The
Brooklanders entertain Geneva Col
lege, usually represented by a strong
Qutnt tomorrow and American Uni
versity meets Gallaudet tonight.
The defeat sustained by the G. U.
fVe last night by supposedly weaker
combination takes the edge off its
game, but a good deal Of partisan in
terest is likely to make the American
U.-Gallaudet game attractive, irrespec-
tive Of the outcome.
George Washington and Maryland
play their first games away tonight, the
former against Villanova and the latter
with Virginia Military Institute Both
the local f1ves are pretty sure to have
hard games, although both would seem
to have a chance to win. Maryland
probably has little better chance for
victory than G. W., although the re-
verse OF that may turn out to be the
results
Gallaudet after its game with Ameri-
can U. tonight goes back home to rest
Tor another setto tomorrow night, on
its own floor. The Kendall Greeners
hook up with Columbus University in
their third game of the week, the first
having been with Maryland at College
Park Wednesday.
likely TO be good exhibition of court
play, provided the Brooklanders meas
ure up to a high enough standard to
give the invaders a real battle. The
Pennsylvanians may be depended on to
put up quite fight in any branch of
sport, and basket ball is one of the
main games in that section.
George Washington and MARYLAND
continue away from home, with games
at Drexel and Washington and Lee.
The Colonials probably will not face
as hard opposition against Drexel as
against Villanova. This statement
though, hardly is based on much more

Maryland in meeting with Washing
ton and Lee may have much more
difficult evening than against the Ca
diets tonight. The fact that williams
Is in Washington and Lees lineup is
almost enough in itself to warrant this
statement, as V. NJ. I. has no player of
his caliber
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY got the
~ surprise of its life last night, and
was the recipient of hard jolt,
when 1t fell before the Benjamin Frank
lin quint at Brookland. The score was
81 to 10.
Instead of taking the floor with a
more or less tacit understanding that
they were out to make fine evening
for c. u, the Benjamin Franklin boys
started right in as If they were going
to give the Brooklanders the time Of
