BURGH, one Of the best
~ basket ball teams in the
country, is due here to-
morrow to meet Georgetown.
The Panthers are leading the
Eastern intercollegiate League, of
which Georgetown is member,
with four victories and not de-
feat, and the game is expected
to be one of the seasons best
attractions.
Pittsburgh won from Georgetown at
Pittsburgh early in the year before
Georgetown really was in shape to
play good basket ball. However, Coach
Mesmer feels that his men are ready
to put up a better game than at any
previous time this season.
There is nothing small about Pitts
team, as every man on 1t Is 6 feet
tall or better, and most Of them carry
good weighet with their height. And
Georgetown's players are not small, by
any means, and should be able to
match physical prowess with physical
prowess.
The game Is to be played In the
Tech High gymnasium, starting at 8
o'clock.
0NE of the most capable basket ball
~ coaches In the game Is DR.. H.
@. Carlson, who tutors the Pitt
five. Not only that, but the duties
DR.. Carlson has at Pittsburgh are
far greater than those Of the average
t. t~ ~
dent health work, and the physical
welfare OF practically every student
on the campus comes under his direc-
ton.
Carlson's record as q bakset ball
coach Is brilliant. In the l927-28
season Carlsons team won al games
and was not defeated, which gave It
national championship. Last year
transcontinental trip did not pan
out very well, but the year before he
won 20 out Of ~ games. the year be-
fore that won 23 out Of 25 and the
year before that got II victories against
4 defeats 1t is doubtful If any other
college five in the country has done
SO well.
Besides the Georgetown Pitt game to-
morrow night, Gallaudet and American
University play here. The Kendall
Green five meets Baltimore University
in the Eastern High gymnasium and
American University entertains Virginia
Medical College on its own floor.

GEORGE WASHINGTON lost its
" charity tourney basket ball game
in Gotham last night, bowing to
City College of New Yorks great quint,
81 to 26, but the Colonials made a
fine impression.
One squirt, that came early in the
second half and netted points, was
the main margin Of difference be-
tween the teams. They had fought q
ding-dong battle in the first 20 min
utes. with the winners leading, IA to Is,
at intermission.
Burgess Gagged long shot at the out
set of the second half to put the Co
lonials ahead Then the speedy Goth
amites put on their s-point scoring
spree and kept in front to the finish.
Howell set the pace for the Colonials
with 10 points.
