HOT BASKET BALL
TILT IN PROSPECT
Former D. C. School Pals to
Oppose in College Park
Clash Tonight.

"A Al ARYLAND and Duke have
M the college basket ball
1 ' 4 stage to themselves to-
night in the Washington
metropolitan area and in the con-
test the Old Liners will be striving
to overcome a lot of Blue Devils
that refused to be checked by two
District combinations early in
the campaign.
From the start of the tussle in
Ritchie Coliseum at College Park
at 8 o'clock to it's finish, there
should be action galore.
The game will bring into opposition
former Washington high school chums.
Playing for Duke are the Thompson
brothers, Jimmy and Herbie, who used
to toss the big leather for Western. Roy
Vowel, forward, and Buckley Buscher,
guard, of Maryland, also played with
the Georgetown schoolboys.
In Duke, the Old Liners will en-
counter one of the best basket ball
teams of the South. The Blue Devils
in six starts this season have not suf-
fered defeat and include in their VIC
tories those over Georgetown and
George Washington. Maryland, though,
has improved steadily, and the young
team is expected to put up sturdy
argument.

" minion today to open a series of
three games. 1t will run into the
University of Virginia at University

will visit Lexington for tits with Wash

basket bal program for the Kendall
Greeners thus far this Winter.
