VISITS COLON|ALS
Hoosiers Invade College
Park-Terp Foot Ball
Schedule Varied.
BY H. C. BYRD.

ket ball teams are here for
games tonight with Maryland
and George Washington. Indiana
also is scheduled with the Colonials
tomorrow night in the Tech High
gymnasium.
The Ohio-I Indiana Illinois section
Of the country is said to be the home
of more good basket ball players than
any other, and the two teams here
today are rated near the top. Wit
tenberg, while a small college, has a
quint of Ohio Conference champion
ship class, while Indiana is noted for
its strong combinations.
Last year, when Indiana was here
1t took the measure of Maryland, COM
pletely outplaying the Old Liners
throughout most of the game. II
Indiana is as good as it was last
season it ought to turn the trick
again, as Maryland, in its first con-
test, certainly does not seem to be
as strong.
George Washington's quint has beer
setting a fast pace, its victory over
Geneva by a big margin being an in
dication that it is even stronger thar
was supposed. If the Colonials rur
into q Wittenberg five that is able tc
live up to its reputation, great
game may result. George Washing
ton, however, should win.
Indiana played three games on its
trip last year and won them all, but

is expected that the Hoosiers will
come this way ready to battle flercely
for more triumphs, but may strike q
snag in George Washington. The
Colonials are likely to be the best five
Indiana will meet while on its trip.
Terp Grid Schedule Pleases.
"HE Maryland foot ball schedule
announced this morning, seems
to be difficult enough to suit al
most anybody. Also it takes in about
the territory that the Old Liners feel
Is somewhat natural for them. There
is one Far Southern game, one Middle
Western and one Northern and the
others are in this immediate section
with rivals of long standing.
North Carolina is back on the sched-
ule after four years absence and Syra-
cuse is to be played for the first time
since 1921. The last four games OF
the list should give the Old Liners a
real test Of physical stamina as well
as courage, being scheduled to meet

Physical Directors are to hold theil
meetings, except for technical discus.
sions of three of the groups, jointly
when they gather in New York mex

for each organiZa ton, as has been the
case in past years. the four groups art
to hold one big affair Each group has
the privilege of selecting one speaker
and necessarily there will be four mair
speeches instead of one speech, which
usually has featured the N. c. A. A
gatherings. This type Of gathering il

experiment and may not be continued
if it does not develop the widespread
general interest expected. The meet.

Alabama is scrimmaging almos
daily in its preparation for the triI
to the coast for the Tournament O
Roses game. This is one factor tina
makes Alabama much more danger
Gus opponent than any Northern
eleven would have been. The con-
ditions at Tuscaloosa are such tina
the squad can work out just as effec
lively and under just as favorable con
ditions as any squad in California
The difference in this respect between
a California team and a Northern
team is nearly always enough to maxi
the difference between victory ant
defeat.
