Saturday-Other Events
Are Attractive.
BY III. c. BYRD.

~ pecially in basket ball,
4 \ again is listed by local COL
legeS for the week end.
Georgetown'S game with Pitts
burgh tomorrow night may take
a place among the best two or
three of the year, while Mary
lands with Virginia Saturday is
pretty sure to be exceptional.
Maryland also is to stage a box
ing match, and there will be
games for George Washington,
American University and Gal
laudet.
Pittsburgh last season was regarded
as one of the greatest quints in the
country and, while it does not seem
to be quite so strong this season, nev-
ertheless is not mean opponent by
any means. II Georgetown takes the
measure Of the Smoky City five it
will add another feather to its cap.
already having whipped West Virginia
this week.
While Georgetown is meeting Pitts
burgh Maryland will be staging an
other double bill. with Western Mary
land in basket ball and St. Johns in
boxing. The Old Liners seem much
stronger than Western Maryland. al
though it is the team to which Mary
land seems superior with which it al
ways has its. trouble. Western Mary
land and St. Johns have been played
off and on by Maryland since back
in the COS. and the latter some 20
years ago was the greatest rival the
Black and Gold had.
Saturday night Maryland hooks up
with Virginia for the second time this
year and a real struggle is certain.
Maryland won the first game entirely
on its more accurate foul shooting,
each team making the same number
of goals from the floor Virginia has
been extended an invitation to bring
up its freshman boxing team to meet
the Maryland first-year squad, but it
is not known whether or not the in
vitation will be accepted.
George Washington entertainS Balti-
more University's basket ball team Sat-
urday night while Gallaudet goes over
to American University for contest.
George Washington should chalk up
another victory, while American U.
should be the favorite over Gallaudet.
Only one contest of any kind is
scheduled for local college tonight
and that is the basket ball game Cath
olic University plays with Virginia
Polytechnic Institute at Blacksburg.
The BrocklanderS have better chance
to win from " P. I. than they had
at Virginia.
COACH BRETT of Miami University
I'LL VIrith h0YlnO
team that intramural sports IN
his school have such hold on the
students that they are just about as
enthusiastic over them as about inter
collegiate athletics. Especially IS TINS
true in cases of indoor games. He says
that basket ball does not go at all, be-
cause the students had rather be out
doors playing golf or tennis than to be
watching or playing on ooaro noor
indoors. Brett is coach of minor sports
at Miami and physical director.
For several years prior to going TO
Florida Brett was wrestling coach at
washington and Lee and turned out
some good teams Down at Miami ne
is making good with his special inter-
est in wrestling. and it is said that he
has some exceptionally good men.
He is responsible for the statement
that he has a heavyweight who can
the professional ranks. Miami has in
its schedule for next year a boxing meet
and wrestling meet with Army at West
Point and Brett says to watch this
heavyweight wrestler of mine, as III
bet anything he makes the Olympic
team this Summer and wins his Olym-
pic matches"
At any rate, nobody can say Brett
does not have confidence in his ath-
letes.
4 S USUAL, only 16 teams will be al
"A lowed to compete in the South
ern Conference basket ball tour
nament, which begins at Atlanta the
last Of this month, but there is some
doubt expressed that so many teams
will enter. 1t is said that some OF the
schools are so hard hit financially in
their athletic programs that they are
likely to forego the basket ball trip.
OF course, for the last several years
the expenses of the trip have almost
been betrayed by the receipts, but there
is a rather pronounced feeling that the
receipts this year may not run so well.
Foot ball last Fall in Atlanta was al
most frost in comparison to what 1t
usually has been.
NNE OF the Washington and Lee
" coaches who was here this week
takes issue with anybody and
everybody on the basket ball situation
in the South. He says that, no matter
what may be said about the Far South
ern quints, Kentucky has the best team
in the Conference.
It is his opinion that Kentucky is at
least so per cent better than it was
year ago, when it was runner-up to
Maryland in the Conference tournament
and lost in the final game by only
point.
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY gave Vir-
~ ginia quite a battle at Charlottes-
vile last night, even ii it did lose.
81 to 81. The Brooklanders were in the
running the whole way. and had they
made good on just little bigger per-
centage of their pet shots at the basket
might have finished with the long end
of the count.
1t was not thought that c. U. had
quite an even chance to beat the Cava-
liers, and they should feel well satisfied
over their showing.
If they can get victory in the game
with " p l. tonight they ought to come
back more than satisfied.
White kept c. u in the running last
night with 16 points.
