basket ball team, victorious
~ over two worthy opponents,
Loyola and Bucknell, in its
last two games, leaves tomorrow
on a two-day trip to play Univer-
sity of Virginia at Charlottesville
and Virginia Polytechnic Institute
at Blacksburg. The Brooklanders
have high hope of making a good
showing against two of the Old
Dominion's leading schools.
Tomorrow night Virginia is to be
c. US opponent. That the local school
will be against an exceptionally good
five goes without saying, but the de-
feats of Loyola and Bucknell, also good
teams, have given it very optimistic
outlook for the remainder of the year.
The Brooklyn quint hardly hopes to
win both games, although it may.
If it breaks even, or plays bang-up
basket ball in two close games. win or
lose, it should be fairly well satisfied.
1t seems to stand not quite an even
chance against Virginia and just about
an even chance against v. P. I.
Coach Cotton will take two full
teams on the trip, with Bus Sheary
the first lineup. Both Sheary and
White have been playing brilliant bas-
ket ball and the performances Of the
former in the last two or three games
stand out among the best by c. U.
basketers of all time.
OUT at Catholic University tonight
~ Coach Eddie Lafond's boxers are
scheduled to hold sway in the big
gymnasium, with the University of
Miami mitt-pushers as their enemies
for the evening.
Lafond seems to feel that his men
have at least an even chance to win,
although they may break out against
a lot stronger competition than ordi-
narily might be looked for.
The bouts will begin at o'clock.
WASHINGTON COLLEGE, about as
w hard an opponent as Maryland
meets in basket ball, is due at
College Park tomorrow night, with
probably large group of students of
that institution coming along with the
team. Usually a number of Eastern
Shoremen, in addition to the students,
make the journey and give their rep
resentatives almost as strong support in
the roofing line as Maryland gets.
1t is doubtful If there is another
small college in the country that con-
Sistently has better basket ball teams
than Washington College. Over there
the students simply have what might
be termed basket ball morale.
Last year Washington College whip
ped Maryland by one point when it did
not seem to be nearly as good team.
Then, too, the Eastern Shore school
has one of the best coaches in the
country in the person of Tom Kibler.
For years Kibler has been director of
athletics and head coach Of three
sports, and done good job in all, but
he is particularly adept in turning out
strong court squads. He knows how to
teach basket ball and never has weak
five.
Kibler formerly was physical director
and basket ball coach at Ohio State
and Lehigh and enjoyed real success at
would never be able to hold him were
it not that his home is in Chestertown
and his family been engaged in busi-
ness there for long while.
s'DIP" MILLER, Navy foot ball coach.
IN gave vigorous defense Of the
game last night at the annual
banquet of the University Of Maryland
1nterfraternity Council Miller spoke at
considerable length, and held his hear
ers close with his unusual presentation
of the place foot ball holds in Ameri-
can College life. One point brought out
by him in striking fashion was:
Down at the Naval Academy we be-
lieve that foot ball Is kind of prov
ing ground. where the real test is given
to determine whether or not the boy
has profited from what he has been
taught. 1t is the corrected essay of the
English department. the final exams in
mathematics, the one great way of de-
termining whether or not the boy
measures up to be the man"
CEORGETOWN probably played its
" smoothest basket ball of the year
in defeating a good West Virginia
team last night at Tech High gym, As
to 81.
The Hoyas were not perturbed by the
fact that the Mountaineers gained a
10-to-3 lead early in the battle and
kept on playing steady basket ball.
solving the visitors quick breaking
tactics to check their scoring, and
counting heavily themselves to lead 10
to 16 at halftime. The winners simply
marched away from their rivals in the
last period.
Carolan, Georgetown guard, led
both teams In scoring with 16 points.
while Connors played a fine game at
center for the Hoyas.
