IN the season triumphant
~ over Georgetown a n d
George Washington, comes
here again tomorrow to face
Maryland, to which it has lost the
last two seasons by margins of
about two or three points.
The stage seems set for great bas-
ket ball game, with Duke represented
by one OF the strongest teams in the
South ana Msryland developed to a
point where it is strong enough to dou-
bic the score on Virginia Polytechnic
Institutes veteran quint
Good basket ball is nothing new in
Dukes young life, as it has turned out
year after year teams that measured up
with the best in the South. Last year
there were few others in the Southern
Conference tournament at Atlanta that
seemed as strong or clever.
A ND it is worth mentioning that
"A some Of the mainstays of Dukes
teams have been graduates of
Washington high schools. There was
Croson of Tech, for instance, who as a
center played so brilliantly for three
years that he made Duke one of the
most feared quints in the whole sec
tion. Then Colley of Central was
star forward, and now the two Thomp-
sen boys OF Western are proving them
selves almost the whole show.
Eddie Campbell, former Washington
and Lee player, has been coaching Duke
for years. His record is exceptional,
and he has had nothing but good teams
since he first took the iOb
Maryland started its season with lit
tie preliminary practice and lost to
wisconsin, but it developed rapidly
enough to double the score in its game
with v. P. J., and it seems In shape to
give Duke great struggle with about
an even chance to win. Burton Shipley,
Maryland coach, also has an excellent
coaching record, as he has won about
70 per cent Of his games since he began.
THE game is to take place in the
l. Richie Coliseum ct o'clock. And
in this connection, it is Of interest
to note that Maryland has reduced the
price of admission to all its basket
ball games just half to so cents plus
5 cents Federal tax For the remainder
OF the year this price will hold. except
for the double bills Of boxing and basket
ball, when the old price of 81 is to be in
effect.
Navy is all set for American Uni
versity this afternoon. Last year the
Methodists went to Annapolis and came
back with Navy's scalp, which, with all
Nays vaunted sportsmanship, did not
set very well with the Navy disposition
So Navy is anxiously waiting the op-
porsunity today to avenge that defeat
Apparently, Navy got two forwards frcm
~ Ioek xx,1.,z
have msde a real going organization
OF this years group of court artists
At least, Navy seems to have one Of the
strongest teams in its history and one
Of the best in the country, II its record
SO far may be accepted as a criterion.
CEoRGE WASHINGTON also jour-
VI neys to Annapolis for a game to-
day. The Colonials play st. Johns
College, which last week almost clipped
v. M. rs wings in a game at Lexing-
ton. st. Johns may prove harder than
George Washington anticipates, although
the latter should win.
Gallaudet trips it to Charlottesville
tomorrow to give Virginia game. The
Kendall Green five is not likely to cope
successfully with the Cavaliers.
Catholic University tossers walked
away with the Quantico Marines, 35 to
81, last night at Brookland. For the
opening few minutes the Leathernecks
put up stubborn fight, but the Cards
then got the range of the basket with a
will and quickly ran up big lead to
coast to victory. Reserves held forth
for the winners during the late stages,
when the Marines did most Of their
scoring.
On offense. Rosenfeld, Gearty and
Augusterfer led the winners, who were
in front, 10 to S, at the half, while Bell
and McGrath were most consistent for
the losers.
