"Baer is great spectacular dresser

takes a 46 or a 48 chest ana he's
stocky all the way down. He dresses

play should be seen here
this week in the visits Of two unde-
feated quints-New York University
and University of Richmond. The
former meets Georgetown Friday
night on the Tech High floor and the
latter Maryland at College Park Sat-
urday night.
New York University has remark
able record, in that it has not lost
game in two years. 1t was undefeated
last season, and so far this Winter no
other quint has proved its match. 1t
has won 81 straight games Uni
versity of Kentucky, which 1t beat by
only a single point, came nearest to
upSetting the VioletS. 1t would seem
that Georgetown has little chance to
win from such team, but the play
ought to be of great interest just the
same.
Richmond probably is not as good
as the New Workers, but if compari-
sons count for much there are not
many better teams in the South. In
fact, one critic has made the state
ment that he would back the Spiders
against any other five they may face
in this section. Not the least doubt
exists that they are strong and should
play brilliantly. They defeated Mary
land easily last year at College Park
and expect to turn the trick again.
Maryland, though, has better out
lookfor victory over the Richmonders
than Georgetown over N. Y. U.
The star of the Richmond team is
Roger Leverton, former Central High
School athlete. He was the king pin
of the game last season against Mary
land and is expected to occupy the
same position again. Not only is
Leverton a great basket ball player,
but he also is the best performer for
Richmond in foot ball. track and base
ball. He is one of the few athletes
who will win letters this year in four
sports.
As an aftermath of the basket ball
game with Richmond, Maryland will
have a dual boxing meet with Penn
State. In view of the fact that Penn
State has an exceptionally good team,
the boxing match may be the more
interesting of the two competitions.
Certainly the Old Liners have not
faced as tough opposition for long
while as they will stack up against
in the double bill this weekend.

though, with excellent Judgment and
