GOTHAM MEET BID
LOOMS FOR c. ".
Basketers Eye Big Tourney
After Beating LoyoIa.
O'Brien Honored.

Capt Tommy OBrien today had a
gold basket ball. George Washington
court fans had the satisfaction Of an
undefeated home season and the
Colonials had their ears attuned to
New York for an invitation. expected
today, to the national intercollegiate
tournament starting there next
Wednesday.
All three were the result of activities
at Tech High last night, where the
G. W.'s beat Loyola of Chicago for
the second time in two nights to cap
ture the seasons three-game series
and avenge one of the three defeats
dealt them in IS games. Loyolas lone
victory in Chicago came only after
three overtime periods. but George
Washington wiped out all trace of
that last night by convincing 4S-33
margin.
Two More Tests for G. W.
The gold basket ball which OBrien
wears today is the first ever given in
G. W. U. sports history. 1t was
presented By Acting Athletic Director
Max Harrington on behalf of the
school in appreciation of OBrien's
outstanding service over three-year
period"
Before the Loyola series Bill Rein
hart had been apprised by New York
basket ball writer's that his team was
assured of an invitation to the tour
nament If it was successful during
its remaining games" Neither Davis
Elkins, to be faced at Cumberland to-
morrow night, nor Washington and
jefferson, to be met at Washington,
Pa, on Saturday, is expected to trip
the Colonials.
The usual debating result of pres
entation failed to affect O'Brien. for
after receiving his award between
halves ne continued his scoring pro-
clivities which enabled him to wind
up as high scorer for the night with
13 points and end his collegiate career
before home folks in fitting style.
O'Brien Sparks Rally.
Although Loyola scored 13 of the
first 16 points registered in the Sec
ond half to narrow 27-l4 lead of
G.. W to 1927. O'Brien spanked a
counter-rally which put the game be-
yond reach. Bob Faris, leader the
previous night, and Jack Butterworth,
who played rings around Tiny No
wax, also played important roles.

Late, but Will Not Pass Up
Event-SIeuths Eager to
Meet Royals Again.

Although March /, the usual start
ing date Of the annual A. A. U. bas-
ket ball tournament, has come and
gone without mention of a 1888 COM
petition, one definitely will be held
the latter part of this month 1t has
been learned.
A. Earle Weeks. president of the
District A. A. u, said today that
only the lack Of suitable site has
prevented preparations, bit that ar
rangements now are being made to
obtain either the Tech or Roosevelt
gymns for the tourney.
When the tournament does start,
its unlimited division should prove
the means whereby the hottest feud
in basket ball circles-between the
Bureau Of Investigation and Regal
Clothiers-is settled once and for all.
Looking for Revenge.
Although beaten twice by the
Clothiers in the play-off series for
the Heurich League championship, the
G-men still are unwilling to admit
the superiority of their conquerors
and have two reasons at their finger
tips should they care to use them.
According to Investigation support
ers, it's hard for a team to average
four games a week over a three
month period without going stale.
especially when the remainder Of the
players time is taken up with work
Records show that members of the
basket ball team, like all other en-
ployes of the bureau, work at least
eight hours day and then spend
two hours each night in the week in
law or accounting classes.
Will Be Fresher.
At present, Investigations court
men are not playing the schedule that
kept them busy most of the winter,
consequently they figure to be bet
ter prepared physically when the A.
A. U. tournament starts.
The other point in the G-men's ia
vor when they tackle the Clothiers
in the tourney is that they will be
playing on a floor larger than the
Heurich gym in which they have
dropped both their games to Regal.

changed from two out of three to
three out of five sets. Sabin meets
joey Fishbach. who. in form, is a
tough rival indoors for any man, with
sound all-around game that has its
greatest strength in his ability to keep
getting the ball back until his op-
ponent is forced into errors. McNeill
takes on Leonard Hartman. runner-up

but has a good deal of power.
