IN RIBBLERS and goal shoot
ers replace the punters
- and line-plungers in COL
lege sport this week as
athletes Of Washington's seats Of
higher learning open one of the
most pretentious court campaigns
ever scheduled for the Capital.
The composite schedule of George
Washington, Maryland, Catholic
University, Georgetown, American
University and Gallaudet en-
braces exactly 101 games, Sc of
which will be played at home.
-Four of the six schools pry the lid
on the basket ball campaign this week
"a season which promises to rival in
color and caliber Of play Washington's
!ate-lamented pigskin parade. The
schedule makers have done themselves
proud, and as result two intersec-
tional games and scores of others in
volving the best of the North and
south VIII be available for public oont
sumption.
OF the quartet of teams to swang into
action this Georgetown, Ameri%
can University. George Washington and
Gallaudet-the Hoyas have drawn BY
Iar the toughest assignment. Coach
Freddy Mesmer will take his proteQeS
70 Pittsburgh Saturday TO oppose the
Panthers IN Georgetown's debut in the
newly formed Intercollegiate Basket
Ban Conference. American U. will play
twice, entertaining Maryland State
Normal Wednesday and Hampden-
Sidney on Friday; George washington
will play host to Shenandoah Thurs

est basket ball team from these court
Cameras. tsE
NfARYLAND-No school in the coun-
lV1 try could lose a trio such as Bozie
Berger, All-America guard; Ed
