Dayis-EIkins Is Strong.

~ AVIS -ELKINS' basket ball team
- is here today and tomorrow for
games with George Washington
and Catholic University. The visitors
are a highly capable outfit and should
provide the local schools with COM
petition about as good as they have
faced.
G. WIS lineup for tonight hasn't
been settled, as Coach Roland Logan
is considering Bill Noonan for for
ward position and Midget Milt Schon-
field for one of the guard berths. The
guard assignments last were given
Tuffy Leemans and Clarence Berg, a
sophomore, who fought his way into
first-string recognition after the first
five games. Berg at present is suffer-
ing with a sprained toe. Hal Kiesel at
center is one certainty.
Davis-ElkinS is the first of six
worthy opponents the Colonials will
face between now and February 8. On
Friday night the locals invade the
court of Villanova, Monday they meet
West Virginia at MorgantoWn, return
here to play Wake Forest next Wednes-
day and hit the road again February
2 and to engage Long Island and st.
Johns in Brooklyn. This stretch of
competition will determine rather def
tnitely George Washington's rating.
To date George Washington has won
8 out of 10 games.
Tonight's game will be George
Washington's first court tilt in two
weeks, while Davis -Elkins will be con-
tinuing, and the stretch of inaction
may prove handicap for the Colonials.
~ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY expects
u Duke in the match at Brookland
Saturday to offer as difficult
opposition as any boxing team it will
meet this season.
The Durhamites have the reputation
OF being one of the four strongest
teams in the Southern Conference and
the Cardinals will be very lucky if
they get by without a defeat.
In fact, the chances are that Duke
will come through, if it is as good as
the Cardinals have a clean slate for
the season.

Northern trip by opposing Army at
West Point today. 1t plays Yale to-
morrow and the Knights of Columbus
in New York. The Hoyas should have
an even chance IN all of the contests.
"A EARYLAND'S basket ball team
NI put in a week OF special
preparation for the Navy five,
which 1t meets today at Annapolis,
something it has not been able to do
for the last two years.
"Navy played one of the best basket
ball games in its history" Comdr.
Brown, graduate manager Of athletics
at the Naval Academy, remarked in
talking about the MiddieS' triumph at
Philadelphia last Saturday. After
Pennsylvania had trimmed Syracuse,
which had a great record, it was not
expected that Navy would be able to
break its string of defeats in the Pa
lestra.
vt Is rather remarkable that this
year in two institutions in the
Southern Conference three ath-
letes have been barred because they
have not stated the facts on their
registration papers. This seems to be
the kind of error, to put it charitaoly'
that no university should condone.
Only one course would seem to be
ouen in such circumstances. The first
institution at which the misrepresen-
tation occurred did not take that
course.
A good deal of talk is going the
rounds about possible changes IN the
foot ball rules, but after all the talk
is finished it probably will be found
that the code is about as it was
last Fall. Foot ball has reached a
point, as far as its governing code Is
concerned, where those that have its
destinies in their control are not going
10 tske any great liberties with it.
