w IL N4IA 4SbA4N 444 ASS
basket ball game tonight
In the Tech High School gym
nasium, but George Washington,
beginning a two-day trip through
Virginia, may run up against a
good deal more opposition at Will
liam and Mary than it has faced
on its own floor.
The Georgetown game begins at
8 o'clock.
If the Blue and Gray plays anywhere
near as good basket ball as in the great
majority of its contests, despite its
losses, it should take the Green and
Gold outfit over the jumps. The latter
has not been doing very well, to say the
best, and will be exceedingly lucky to
whip any firSt-claSS quint.
Western Maryland hardly has meas
tued up in basket ball to its standard
in foot ball and boxing. Georgetown
has lost many games, but its consistent
play has done it credit, even when on
the short end of the score.
George Washington meets in William
and Mary a school where the strength
Of the athletic teams has grown with
the institution until now the teams
that represent it are very nearly as
good as the best in the section. 1t will
be especially interesting to note what
George Washington may accomplish on
a strange floor.
Tomorrow night the Colonials jump
from Williamsburg over to Richmond
to measure strength with Virginia
Medical College. They ought to whip
the Virginia Medicos without any great
effort.
A MERICAN UNIVERSITY still stands
n with George Washington as the
only undefeated college basket ball
teams in this section, and it plays
again tomorrow night on its home floor.
Elon College is to be the opposing
school and Elon has done nothing SO
far that might even remotely indicate
that the MethodiStS stand in much dan
ger Of having their string disrupted
incidentally, American U. probably
has much stronger five than it is be-
ing given credit for. Had its victories
all been over teams like Randolph
Macon and Elon there might be some
reason for believing that it has just
good small college quint, but it has de-
feated much stronger fives.
1t won from st. Johns and st. Johns
has since whipped Virginia. and it also
has triumph over Navy to its credit.
Contests like these are not won by lust
a good small college team, but only by
an exceptionally capable lot of well
coached players.
WASHINGTON AND JEFFERSON
w College sends its boxing team

University. The match is to take place

CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY opens its
~ boxing season tomorrow night with
the City College of New York here
as its opponent. the opening bout being
scheduled at 8 o'clock. The Brook
landers have been working hard in
order to put out squad Of nitt singers
just as good as represented the school
last year, but the general opinion is
that as team they may not be quite
as strong as in 1881.
Whatever the Catholic q. boxers ac-
complish, though, may be attributed di-
IL
boxing coach. La Fond probably works
as hard and as faithfully as any coach
in the world ever worked. Not only
does he teach his men, but he teaches
them by actually getting in the ring
and trading punches with them.
It really is rather marvellous the way
La Fond stands up under the rigorous
training through which he puts himself
in boxing with his men. He gets in
the ring and takes them on, one after
another, until he has given each Of
them about as much of a workout as
he thinks is needed.
Catholic us fine team Of last year
was a tribute to La Fonds earneStness
and ability to impart knowledge, and
so will be whatever is accomplished this
year.
La Fond has selected the following
men to toll for the Cardinals tomorrow
night:
Bill Calabrese will fight in the feather
class in the abSence of Johnny De Pas
quale; Miro, bantam; Harry D'Gia-
como, lightweight; Frank Stines,
welter: Stapleton or Nicola, middle
weight; Danny Pyne, light-heavy, and
"Bingo" Flyn or Dick Mof1tt, heavy
weight.
TEORGETOWN certainly has lost
~ some Of the toughest games that
any team ever dropped in basket
ball Last night 1t lost another by an
eyelash, to Loyola in Baltimore, by 80
70 81 Apparently Coach Mesmer is
building up team that is playing good
basket ball but not quite good enough
TO reach the mark In close hard games
against strong qutnts.
However, with the experience gained
this season, II the team holds together,
Georgetown In another year should
have one Of the strongest flves in the
East.
Last night Georgetown rallied after
trailing 1915 at the end Of the first
half and at 1929 at one stage OF the
second period and the gun ended
drive that might have put the Hoyas
out In front.
Georgetown made u field goals
against IL for Loyola, but shot only 8
fouls in IL chances, while the winners
made good times in II tries from the
15-foot mark.
