y Georgetown Will be hosts
~ to University Of Missouri
aid Duke University this
week in the first big basket ball
games of the year on local floors.
The ColonialS meet Missouri
Thursday night and Duke Satur-
day. while Georgetown plays Duke
Friday night. All three contests
are scheduled in the Tech High
gymnasium.
Both Duke and Missouri are likely
to have good quints, about as good as
there are in their respective sections.
Last year the two universities were well
represented and, while not much is
known CT them this season, the chances
are they will not be much different
from what they have been in years
past.
THE two local universities will place
l. against the visitors strong quints.
George Washington has back the
same team that went through last year
so successfully, but In playing in the
Tech High gymnasium will not have
as big an advantage as it had when
playing on its own floor. 1t was vir-
tually impossible for any visiting eleven
to beat George Washington last season,
and would be this in the George Wash
ington gym. There is not much doubt
that the Colonials will start Parraek
and Burgess at forwards, Hertzler at
center and Chambers and Zahn at
guards, their last seasons lineup.
Georgetown has back practically its
entire squad. and with another week
of practice ought to be able to get
1r1tr@ kfxrr
lost to Pittsburgh Saturday night at
Pittsburgh, but it would have been re-
garded as something of a miracle if it
had won, as it was considered to have
very little chance because of lack of
practice.
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY opens its
~ season Wednesday night with
Maryland State Normal School and
should win by wide margin. Tine
Brooklanders have back most of their
last years squad and should be more
successful. Even last season, though,
they played some brilliant basket BAH
and at times might have defeated
almost any opponent. Sheary and
White are expected again to be the
mainstays. incidentally, the former
was star back on the foot ball team
and the latter at center was one of the
Steadiest and most valuable men in the
line. White never did get as much
credit as he really deserved for his bril-
liant efforts. both dsfensively and Of
fensively, during the whole gridiron
season.
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY plays its
~ second game CT the week Saturday
night. being scheduled to meet
Seton Hall at South Orange. N. j. That
will wind up the Brcoklanders until
after the holidays.
Gallaudet entertains Maryland State
Normal Friday night for the third game
in which the Marylanders have been in
Washington in two weeks. The local
school ought to mark up victory.
When Tennessee comes here next
Fall to play George Washington. local
people who like to watch the greatest
OF athletic games will get an oppor-
tunity to see foot ball lust about as
good as is played anywhere in the
South. or anywhere else for that mat
Ter tennessee over a period of the
last seven years probably has been
whipped fewer times than any other
Southern eleven. 1t always has bril-
nant players and the best OF coaching.
COUTHERN CALIFORNIA added an
~ mother brilliant chapter to its foot
ball record by whipping Notre Dame
again. The Trojans were outgained in
yardage and first downs. but got two
touchdownS against none, which is
what counts. Notre Dame apparently
reached the peak of its season against
Army, and a team reaches its peak
only once or twice during its schedule.
only one more hurdle remains for
Southern California, Pittsburgh. in the
tournament of Roses game And that
hurdle may be more diffi-ult than the
Far West expects. However. there are
lew who will look for ANYTHING but a
Trojan victory, remembering. as they
90, the general lack of success of teams
that have left the colder climate to 60
to California for contests.
1t seems that the Fates ordained al
most impossible conditions for the North
South foot ball game fostered last week
6y the City of Baltimore After two
weeks of almost perfect foot BAH
weather. to have Winter set in so force
1ully as 1t did Saturday was Just too
PAD. To play on a gridiron covered
with Two or three inches of snow, and
IN snow and sleet. must have made
the men who came fromsL louisiana and
Mississippi feel that they we're visiting
somewhere in the region of one of the
Poles.
