plays host tonight to Wake
" Forest in the only college
basket ball game sched-
uled here, but the fans who are
able to witness the clash should
be well entertained.
George Washington, fretting over
having its winning streak halted by
Duquesne, will have to get back in full
stride if it expects to conquer the Bap-
fists from North Carolina. Wake For
est has been going at fast clip against
good teams.
A sample of the invaders prowess
was given the other night when they
took the measure of Davidson, 80 to
10. And Davidson has been holding its
own against North Carolina u, North
Carolina State and other teams in the
Tarheel State and vicinity.
1t will be easily the best team from
the Dixie sector that George Washing
ton will meet this season.
WHILE there is dearth of basket
w ball tonight there will be plenty
of it tomorrow when five games
are slated. However. the unfortunate
part of it is that all are on foreign
courts. Georgetown, Catholic Univer-
sity, American University and Mary
land begin two-day trips, while Gal
laudet takes an evenings jaunt over
to ToWson to play Maryland State
Normal School.
Georgetown leaves tonight and will
play at West Virginia University and
Duquesne tomorrow night and Satur-
day. The Blue and Gray whipped West
Virginia here few days ago and stand
at least an even chance in that con-
test Against DuqueSne. though, it is
fairly certain to find the going diff
cult.
Catholic University plays the 7th
Regiment team of the New York Ma
tional Guard in its first game and Man
haitian in the second. The Brookland-
ers have not met either of these quints.
The two games American University Is
to play are with Pennsylvania Military
College and Villanova.
If Maryland's game with North Caro-
lima turns out to be anything like the
one here was, the Tarheel followers
will be treated to some of the keenest
thrills they have had in long while on
the sides of basket ball court Mary
land won here. 26 to 25.
The Old Liners second game is with
Duke. and Duke is strong enough to
draw an opinion from an athletic di-
rector of another South Atlantic in
stitution that it should win. Maryland
has not yet lost game to Southern
Conference school and these are the
last two it plays prior to the tourna-
ment at Atlanta next week.
CALLAUDET plays on the home floor
" Saturday night, meeting Colum-
bus University. Gallaudet seems
to have no better than an even
chance to win.
Catholic University's boxing team is
at Buckneu University, Lewisburg. Pa,
tonight. The Brooklanders have hopes
OF winning, although they are definitely
of the opinion the chances are against
them Bucknell was the only opponent
that took c. us measure last season.
The week end will find Georgetown
and Catholic University competing in
the Meadowbrook indoor track games
at Philadelphia Both schools are to
send their best men, although in the
kind of competition they will have to
meet there is not any too much opti-
n1ism as to possible victories.
Maryland takes part in its last boxing
meet Saturday night, North Carolina

The Old Line fighters have lost two
meets and won one. In fact, their VIC
tory of last Friday over st. Johns was
the first they have won in the ring.
Not much is known of the strength OF
the Raleigh squad, but probably it is
not much different from Washington
and Lee and Virginia Military Institute.
AHARYLAND'S basket ball team came
1'1 near meeting its Waterloo last
night in the game with st. John S
W Annapolis, the Old Liners being
forced to rally. to win, "a to 90
Maryland, off form in its shooting
early in the game found it difficult to
get going against fighting st. John s
team that presented well knit defense
and trailed II to IA at the half
The Old Liners rushed to the front,
II to IA, in the early part of the second
half, but it took late goals by Rufus
Vincent and Bucky Buscher to win after
the score had been tied at 18-all and
2O-all.
