Virginia Military Institute may figure as
q third team for a triangular affair. In
base ball the Old Liners are to meet
West Virginia. in lacrosse. st. Johns OF
Annapolis, and in tennis, Johns Hop
kins.
"HE Southern Conference apparent
Il ly wished to have a chance to see
both its boxing tournament and
the basket ball tournament, as this year
the two affairs are scheduled on follow
ing weeks instead of in the same week,
as heretofore. The boxing tournament
probably is the most popular athletic
event in the South. excepting some foot
ball games, and this year the annual
conference meeting has been set for the
same dates. Both are to be at Char
lottesville. beginning February 20. The
basket ball tournament is scheduled at
Raleigh on March l, 2 and g. Accord
ing to the present outlook. every school
in the organization will have teams in
both events.

not be so strong against the Soldiers as

them. He scored knockout in the
first round in the Western Maryland

Junior Prom which is being held to-

George Washington swimmers will
entertain Virginia tomorrow at the AM

will be the lone home attraction.
It was streaky basket ball game
the Old Line dropped to Hopkins.
Maryland trailed Ais with about six
minutes of the first half left but from
that time on until the last five minutes
OF the second half completely domi-
mated the scoring, running up % to II
margin. The Terps were three points
behind at intermission, u to Is.
Then the Old Liners begged down.
However with 30 seconds to play,
Maryland. leading 80 to %. scored from
the toss-up but the referee ruled that
Vincent did not tap but caught the
ball and disallowed the goal. This gave
Hopkins the ball out-of- bounds at the
center of the court and George Mar
golis took the pass in and fired half
the length of the floor for the tieing
points. 1t was all Hopkins in the extra
Eve minutes.
Roy YoWell and the Buscher brothers,
