TACKLE
Y. N. |.

A pretty tough assignment,
but one that will be attempted
with vim and wigor, just the same.
The Maryland University five
has this task ahead of it today,
when it plays the strong Navy
basketers in a game at the Naval
Academy at 2:30 o'clock.
The Old Liners believe they'll
have the stamina to turn the
trick, however. They 60 even so
fas as to contend they'll upset
Navy despite the strain and reac-
ton of having met a powerful
Catholic University foe last night
at Ritchie Coliseum.
Two Other Games
But the actual result will tell.
And, speaking of results, two other
basketball games are on the col
legiate sport program which will
probably offer interesting results.
Georgetown opposes Bucknell IN
a conference game at the Tech
gymnasium at 8:45 o'clock in the
feature of these, while American
University entertains Gallaudet in
a game in the American Univer-
sity gymnasium at 8 o'clock.
A swimming meet and boxing
match complete the activities for
the night. The G. w. natators
engage Lehigh in the Ambassador
pool in the tank attraction, while
the Catholic University mittmen
oppose V. M. I. in the G. U. gym
nasium in the boxing feature.
Both of these events begin at 8
o'clock.
Regular Lineup
Maryland will line up with its
regular array when it faces Navy.
Frank Snyder and Spencer Chase
will be the forwards; Rufus vim
cent, center, and the Buscher lads,
Bucky and Bernie; Navy's big
threat will be Freddie Berries,
flashy forward, who has been q
bane of existence to local teams
all season.
Georgetown will use a shifted
lineup against Bucknell. CorlesS
and Crowley will play forwards;
Haraden and O'Connor, guards,
and ConnorS, center. This ar
rangement was inaugurated by
Coach Freddy MeSmer when the
Hoyas embarked on their New
York and New Haven trip this
week, and he found that it was
his best lineup yet.
Second Place at Stake
Hoya supporters will be anxious
to see how the team fares. The
game will be important to George
town in that its second-place posi-
ton in the Eastern intercollegiate
Conference will be at stake. A
loss will throw it down to the third
position-far out of range to beat
Pittsburgh for the title later in
the season.
Catholic University's boxing
team holds large hopes of crash
ing victorious against V. M. I.
The Cards believe they'll make
their best showing of the year be-
cause of the presence of Danny
Pyne, heavyweight, who will be on
hand to inspire the team to top
heights.
American University visions
trouble in it's game against Gal
laudet, and George Washington
sees plenty of competition ahead
in its swimming meet with Lehigh.
but both teams have been practlc'
ing diligently all week to score VIC
tories if the feat is at all possible.

Johnson Gets Watch
From B. B. Writers

So Washington is left a cheer
full and hopeful message by the
man who guides its baseball
fortunes, and who is away for
two months of leisure. Half
dozen exhibition games are still
to be scheduled, but they can
be negotiated from Biloxi just
as easily as from Washington.
He says the club will be there"
next season and he knows more
about it than any one Of our
acquaintance.
Watch for Walter
Walter johnson probably has
received as many tokens of eS-
TEEN from various individuals,
organizations and societies as
any man who ever wore spikes.
To Walters collection of re-
membranes tomorrow night
will be added wrist watch,
the gift of the American League
in recognition of Johnson's be-
ing honored by the New York
Chapter of the Baseball Writers
of America with their annual
award for distinguished service
to baseball over a long period OF
years. Walter entered tn e
game in 1907. His achieve
ments need no emphasis here.
Besides the timepiece to be
presented in New York by PreSi-
dent William Harridge, Walter
is to receive a plaque, from
the writer's, which will occupy
a conspicuous place in his
Bethesda trophy room, along
with the skins and feathers of
wild life he has killed as well
as the myriad nick-knacks,
some substantial and others
trivial, which fandom in gen.
eral has laid at his feet over
the past 26 years.
Bucky Harris is sitting in
on the ceremonies and Al
Schacht and Moe Berg, the
perpetual banquet hounds, will
represent the Washington club.
Schacht will tell the revelers
how many pinochle games he
has won from johnson and
otherwise do all he can to
