W YHILE the last two weeks,
\N| because Of midyear ex-
Y Y aminations, have been


Y aminations, have been
light for local college
athletic teams, the next six days
should make up for anything lost
In that period.
No heavier competition will be faced
during the entire year than that which
confronts basket ball, boxing and track
teams between now and midnight Of
next Saturday.
Georgetown's basket ball team goes
North for a series of three games in
which are to be met Yale, Army and
the Knights of Columbus team at
Brooklyn. Also the Blue and Gray
sends its relay four to New York to
compete in the Millrose games.
Probably the one contest looked for
ward to with greatest interest is the
Catholic University Maryland basket
ball game. The Brooklanders will 90
out to Maryland with their best five
IN years and, from its past record the
OLD Line team seems able to take care
OF itself. No better game, and no
sterner competition, is likely to be seen
here this season.
"A s A MATTER of fact, the whole
n week is to find Maryland teams
up against difficult opponents.
Besides the meeting with Catholic Uni
versity, the Old Line basketers tackle
North Carolina, which SO far has played
10 games and lost only !, and then,
the day after the C. U. game, goes to
Annapolis to face Navy.
This gives Maryland three of the
hardest games of its season in the
same week and two of the three on
consecutive days. North Carolina and
Maryland will battle for the Southern
Conference leadership. the Old Liners
now being in front with four victories
and no defeats and the Tarheels second
with six wins out Of seven starts within
the circuit.
verslty- Maryland basket ball game
Maryland's boxing team will line up
against Duke. Maryland and Duke drew
IN boxing last year, to 4. Saturday
night the Maryland relay teams 60 to
the Mlllrose games in New York, with
Wldmyer, star sprinter, entered in the
dashes.
George Washington takes part in one
basket ball game and one swimming
meet, the former with Western Mary
land and the latter with Lehigh.
American University opens the week
tomorrow night with basket ball game
with Lynchburg College and plays again
Saturday night with Gallaudet.
Besides its basket ball game with
Maryland, Catholic University sends
its boxing team against Virginia Mill
tary Institute Saturday night in the
big Brookland gymnasium.
n TARYLAND'S double bill Friday
lVl night is expected to come pretty
close to filling the Ritchie
Coliseum
Interest in the basket ball game with
Catholic University seems to be suf1-
cient to insure big turnout, but with
the boxing match with Duke as added
interest. there seems little doubt that
on hand.
Besides meeting American University
h basket ball Saturday night, Gallau-
det's five makes trip to Annapolis for
contest with St. Johns. At Annapo-
lis Wednesday the American U. game
seems to offer the Kendall Greeners
about an even chance, but the trip 70
et. Johns may not be very productive.
CEoRGETOWNs basket ball team
r has a chance to redeem itself
In its games with Yale at New
Haven and Army at West Point Tues
day and Wednesday. If 1t can come
back with victories over those two
schools. not many people here will
worry much about any games that now
are in the lost column.
virginia's basket ball team simply
does not seem to be measuring up this
year. So far the Cavaliers have not
won a single big game. And the only
answer to that is lack of material.
Certainly Gus Tebell, given good ma
terial Is just about as certain as any
other coach to develop strong five.
Bo Shepherd again is coaching North
Carolinas basket ball team. Shepherd
formerly was at West Point and learned
his basket ball as a member OF the
Army team. He has done good
coaching Job at Carolina, which usu-
ally Is blessed with good material.
