Controversial basketball is the
menu tonight with George Wash
ington and Catholic University vie
ing against each other for cash
customers in the Northeast section
of town.
The Colonials, just back from
a three-game stand in the midwest,
oppose an old rival in Westminster
College of New Wilmington. Pa,
in the Tech High gym, starting at
$3.50 o'clock.
The Cardinals return to the
cage game after temporary lay
off because of semester examina-
tions, facing Wayne University OF
Detroit in the C. U. gym, with the
tap listed for $3.50 o'clock.
WAYNE AT PEAK
Both local quintets will be UP
against stellar opposition, West
minister holding victories over Viii
lanova, Pitt and Akron Univer-
Isity, conqueror of Penn State.
Wayne has dropped but one
game this season, losing to George
washington in Detroit last week,
but cleaning up on such strong
aggregations as Centenary, Boston
University and western State.
George Washington hopes to re-
turn to winning basketball tonight
after a more or less gloomy Mid
west trek in which it lost to Loyola,
in a three-over.time period game,
and Toledo University. But the
Colonials will have their hands
| full, especially if Captain Tommy
O'Brien fails to play in the battle.
With O'Brien out of the lineup,
that five-cylinder G. w. machine
just doesn't function right, even
with Bob Faris and Jack Butter
worth running up points right and
left.
O'Brien injured his ankle in the
Wayne game last week and was
absent from play against Loyola
and Toledo, which may have much
to do with the loss of these two
games.
Wayne Ambrose, husky curly
haired forward of the Catholic U.
cage team, will attempt to overtake
the injured Charley Norton high
point lead tonight. Charley is out
of the Terp lineup for the remain
der of the season, and with 10
points to go, Ambrose may be at
the head of the pack again after
tonight.
VETERAN QUINTET
Westminster will bring to town
today a veteran team with no less
than four of the players who
showed here against George Wash
ington last year. They are John
Krivesh, guard; Andy Domo and
Ken Grubb, forwards, and Paul
Backus. center. The Titans are
coached by Grover Washabaugh,
former Pittsburgh South High
coach, who has sent many of his
scholastic charges to the Univer'
sity of Pittsburgh, where they
we're outstanding.
AS for Wayne, school athletic
officials state that it is the great
est team in its history, and its
long list of successes this season
against strong outfit prove the
point.
Gordon Clayton, center of the
team, who starred against George
Washington last week, is one of
the tallest players in college circles
and is the man that the Cardinals
must throttle to bag the tilt. Carl
Sayer, a guard, is another fine
performer.
