~ here tonight for its second
setto of the year with
Maryland. The first, played at
Charlottesville the middle of jan
uary. resulted in a 36-to31 vic
tory for Maryland only because it
was a little better on throws from
the line. The Old Line school eX-
poets the game to be one OF the
most difficult of its schedule.
At times this Winter Virginia has
been almost 2 worldbeater 1t played
a game against Washington and Lee
for instance, that was about the acme
of good basket ball.
If the Cavaliers are at their top form
tonight, Maryland should consider itself
lucky if it gets away with the long end
of the score
We know that Maryland this year
has an exceptional basket ball team
said Gus Tebell, Virginia coach. this
morning, but if We go as We have in
some of our games We should stand an
even chance against any other college
team. l know that We nave at Virginia
the best quint that has represented us
in many years, and we are playing
good basket ball. That is all l can
say about our prospects"
THREE other local schools are sched-
i uled in basket ball games tonight,
George Washington to entertain
the University of Baltimore and Amer
lean University to have Gallaudet as
its guest. The Colonials should have
little difficulty getting away with their
game and American U. Is favored TO
win over the Kendall Green players.
George Washington IS the only team
in the section undefeated. 1t has been
going along with its string of victories.
which began before the holidays. and
which may be carried through to an
undefeated season. Anyway. that is the
ultimate result for which followers OF
the university are hoping.
In the George Washington lineup is

other day characterized him, Parrack. as
"one of the best men I've seen playing
basket ball in this section in long
while and I doubt if he has more than
one or two superiors in the whole
South"

Gallaudet should not expect to find
itself up against anything but a good
team when it takes the floor tonight.
JIMMY DRIVER. director of athletics
at Virginia. came to town yesterday
to stop over until this morning,
when he left to spend the week end
with Comdr Hall, graduate manager of
athletics at the Naval Academy. Comdr.
Hall and Driver were classmates at Will
liam and Mary before the war and have
remained the closest of personal friends.
Driver is enthusiastic over the stu
alton at Virginia and is willing to sit
for hours to talk about what is taking
place there. 1t is not only over the
prospects for intercollegiate athletics
that Driver looks for success. but also
Ar the development of sports that
should reach nearly all the students.
One of Drivers first acts at Virginia
was to start the wheel turning to build
tennis courts, and as a result % new
ones were added last Summer and now
are being used New practice fields
have been built and also one OF the
most beautiful stadiums in the coun-
try This will make four years Driver
has been in charge at Virginia. and it
is unlikely that much in the way
Of additional facilities for athletics and
physical education ever has been con-
structed in such a short time after a
man has taken charge at any other
institution
CEORGETOWN won an exceptional
" basket ball game from Pittsburgh
last night in the Tech High gym
nasium. The Blue and Gray scored
first, and then Pitt tied it up at 4-all.
and from that time until the last
whistle blew it was impossible to fore
tell which would be the winner. The
score of 33 to 80 shows Georgetown a
little superior. and it was. Pittsburgh
came here with a big reputation. but 1t
did not seem to be entitled to any
greater praise than Georgetown.
The Blue and Gray broke its string
of defeats by close scores against west
ern Maryland and that seemed to oe
the stimulus it needed. Since that 1t
has wiped up West Virginia and Pitts
burgh. not a mean feat.
Carolan scored IA Of the Hoyas
points last night.
