TINE double program of basket

i versity of Maryland to-
morrow night, with Wash
ington and Lee and Virginia Mill
tary Institute as opponents, again
will top the card of week end
activities for local colleges.
Washington. and Lee comes here tc
meet. the Marylanders in basket bal
with one victory already under its belt
Down at Lexington on February IA the
Generals took the measure of the OId
Line five by q slight margin, and that
they will try to duplicate their early
season victory goes without saying
However, Maryland is not without some
desire to even up the situation, and in
asmuch as 1t has been coming along in
recent weeks it seems to have at least
an even chance to do so.
yTIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE
~ may be q much tougher PROPOSE
tion for Maryland in boxing than
Washington and Lee in basket ball
v. M. 7. has about the strongest box
Ing team it has turned out in years,
and its record so far seems to indicate
that there is very little difference be-
tween it and Maryland v. M. I. won
from Virginia Polytechnic Institute by
the same score that Maryland did. and
Is said to be strong in the same classes
IN which Maryland has been winning.
This would seem to preSage excep-
tionally good bouts.
The double bills of basket ball and
boxing at Maryland are proving even
more popular than was expected. They
apparently provide evenings Of athletic
competition so varied and attractive as
TO demand the interest of alumni as
wei as students. Anyway, alumni have
attended these double bills, and stu
dents, too, in greater numbers than they
have the ordinary basket ball game.

PERSONALLY, I am glad that this con-
