Despite defeat at the hands of
Villanova's basketball quintet, the
flying five of Duquesne University
threatents to give Catholic Uni
versity a terrific battle on the
courts tonight. Before crashing
head on with the Wildcats who
were in scoring form for the eve
ming, the Dukes of Smoketon, had
won three consecutive battles Of
the floor and scored so points or
better in each one.
Mr.. Fod Cotton, coach Of the
Cardinals, will tell you whether
you care to listen or otherwise,
that team capable of caging so
points, is a pretty good ball club.
Even against the scrub" af'
firms Mr.. Fod Cotton.
Capable Forward
Walter Miller, at left forward
for the Smoketown Dukes, is a
smooth working youngster whose
eye for the basket is more than
keen. George Dremlich is right
forward and a handy man to have
around the house. If you're look
ing for size. you'll find it with
Kweller. who rears up like a red
wood tree, and whose arms are like
branches.
"Were short on competition"
Cotton moaned this morning. cts
all right to practice, but the boys
don't bear down the way they
should. If we get by tonight I'll
be satisfied"

versity should give the future ad-
mirals a lot of exercise. Navy
should win with plenty to spare.
COIOniaIS Face EIOn
George Washington University
takes the court tonight with Elon
college, Of North Carolina, arrayed
against it. The Colonials have
ridden roughshod over all opposi-
ton thus far, including the highly
touted elevens Of st. Johns and
University of Nebraska.
The George Washington five has
a remarkable record for accurate
shooting, being successful in more
than 1888 per cent Of it's tries from
Ben Goldfaden is the leader,
with a percentage of $50, and Hal
Kiesel runs right close to him with
a nifty .440.
Bill Reinhart looks ahead to the
game with Wake Forest, which
recently played Duke to a stand
still, losing by only two points.

aged to defeat the Hoyas here, but
that means little so far as the
coming game is concerned. Every
start is a new start, and George
town, laShed by defeats at the
hands of Carnegie and West Vir-
ginia, may come through with a
crashing performance.
Carnegie, which defeated George
town moves into Morgantown to
mingle with West Virginia, which
also beat Georgetown, and a rip
snorting battle should result
They Haven't Repeated
Jack Cooke, Of West Virginia,
won the individual scoring honorS
of the Eastern conference last
year, but the SharpS are betting
that the Mountaineer will not re-
peat this season. If he does he will
break precedent. Howard Rosan,
OF Temple; Joe Stuydahar, of the
MountaineerS, and Jimmy Brown
OF Temple, all high-scoring men Of
previous years, failed to repeat.
1t may be said in passing that
Cooke is not worried as long as
the team has a good year.
Bloom, center of Temple, scored
% points against Niagara on Fri
day, fair sort Of job at scoring.
The record in a game in the East
ern Conference is %, made by
Jim Fergus in 1888, and tied by
this same Bloom, and Cooke Of
West Virginia.
And now the critics offer sug-
gestlons for new rules in basket
ball to combat zone defense, Bill
Reinhart offers suggestion to the
boys who howl for rule changes:
Change your game to meet con-
ditionS."
1t seems to be a fairly sound
suggestion.
