Y Catholic and American Uni

ball court at Brookland tonight in a
game whose innovations strikingly are
in contrast to the embers OF fading

Not only with it will be the first
sports contest between A. u and c. U.
since 1881, but the first basket ball
game in the District in which the
much elimination of the
center jump will be in vogue. Also, for
the first time, the new seamless bail
will be used which should produce
more Of a 'jack-rabbit" spheroid than
ever has been seen on a local court.
Schmarr Finishing Up.
IT WILL be the last game of the
season for the two teams and the
last that Hermie Schmarr ever will
play in Catholic u uniform As il
the reward of victory over an intra-
city rival were not enough, triumph
is needed by both schools to end its
season above the 500 mark. To date
each has split even in l8 games.
If victory is craved more by either
1t probably is A. u, which sees its
chance tonight to even its series with
the Brooklanders which began ir
1927. The Cardinals hold a 5-4 lead
in the nine games played, but those
four Eagle victories came in the last
four games, one in 1929, two ir
1880 and the last in 1881.
Lining up for c. u. with Schmarr
