~ UKE UNIVERSITIES basket
ball team is here for two
- games, the first with
Georgetown tonight and
the second with George Wash
ington tomorrow. Both contests
will be played in the Tech High
gymnasium and begin at 8::15.
For several years Duke has been one
OF the most difficult teams in the South
to beat. 1t has had good men and
good coaching, combination pretty
hard to 60 up against In any kind Of
sport. Duke is one Of the few teams
that have won Southern Conference
championships, and always it has been
one Of the most formidable in the an
nual tournament. Last year Duke
played brilliantly and really should
have gone further than it did. Gen.
orally it was felt that Duke was better
than the Georgia five that won the title.
It is likely that Duke will give both
GEORGETOWN and George Washington all
they want in the way of competition.
It, Of course, should not stand an even
chance to win-playing on a strange
floor, but may win at that. Any quint
on q strange floor is at disadvantage,
although Duke is not at SO much OF
disadvantage here, especially against
George Washington, because Techs
floor Is not so very familiar to the
Colonials, not nearly so much as to
Georgetown.
DUKE is coached by Eddie Camerson
- former Washington and Lee star.
He also is assistant coach to Wal
lace Wade in foot ball. He was a star
on the gridiron at Washington and Lee.
Duke began its three-game trip by
defeating the University OF Baltimore
in the Monumental City last night, 38
to "a, a team that beat the Blue Devils
in the starter of their Northern jaunt
this time last season.
Pargoe, q 6-foot 4-inch center, proved
b big help to Duke last night, although
Jim Thompson and Henry Lewis set the
pace in scoring, with 9 points each.
Duke led, 18 to 13, at intermission.
Georgetown will present an all-Irish
quintet In Crowley and Hargaden.

South Orange, N. j., to play La
Sale and Seton Hall. La Sale and
Seton Hall are not very well known
down here, but they usually have basket
ball teams good enough to give the
average college five great battle.
Catholic u will have to play lot
better basket ball against these two
schools than it did against Maryland

Brookland if it expects to bring back
to Washington pair of scalps.
