NATIONAL CAGE
CHAMPS TEST
HILLTOPPERS
Conference Conte est
Looms ToSS-up
BY CHICK KENNY

The Districts first blue-ribbon
college basketball classic of the
season takes place tonight in Tech
High gym. when u d e d
Georgetown University tackles
the national champion, Temple
University, with the tap listed for
$50 o'clock.
On records to date, Georgetown
should be slight favorite to cap
ture the tilt. But by game time
whatever money may be Wagered |
will probably go all even.
This is an Eastern Intercolle-
giate Conference game, the first
for both quintet, thus something
more than just a ball game is at
stake.
Despite the fact that George
town defeated Temple here last
season on the neutral floor at
Maryland University, the invading
five captured the national cham
pionship by winning % games. in
Guiding the first annual tourney
in Madison Square Garden at the
close of the season. In addition,
Temple bagged the Eastern Con-
ference crown by snagging nine
straight victories following the
surprise defeat from the Hoyas.
TEMPLE SLOWED UP
Temple has been slowed up this
year in its games, as opponents
have been pointing at this team
which holds the crown. First
Southern California turned the
trick and then Minnesota and La
Sale followed suit. The Owls,
however, have defeated the Penn
A. C. ana Northwestern.
Georgetown has bowled over
Western Maryland, Baltimore
Loyola, American University and
New York University. OF this
group, only the N. Y. U. triumph
carries weight, as the team was
met in the Garden and the HoyaS
returned a winner, 27-25.
Temple has lost two of its finest
courtmen from its championship
five that shows here tonight. They
are Mike Bloom and Don Shields.
But the Philadelphians have re-
tanned the services of Dan Hender-
son, their crack center; Ed Boyle
and Howard Black, guards. This
trio, together with Jimmy Usilton
and Bob Nicol, round out the
starting lineup that threatens the
record of the Hilltoppers.
An interesting item connected
with the game itself is the duel
slated between Johnny MCGOWAN
and Don Henderson, rival centerS.
Both played with Asbury Park
IN. j. High School before matric-
ulating at their respective col
leges. MCGOWAN is serving mis-
first year on the Hoya varsity
while Henderson captains the
Owls.
TECH LEADS CHASE
Victory will launch the Hoyas
to a flying start for the Eastern
Conference crown. The league
opened last Saturday night with
Carnegie Tech defeating West
Virginia. Therefore, the Hilltop
five can deadlock the Skibos for
the top rung of the circuit by sue
cessfully getting by Temple.
A crackerjack preliminary game |
has been scheduled along with
the game tonight George Wash
ington University's freshman
team will clash with the George
town yearlings. Both teams are
undefeated. This game is listed
to get underway at 7 o'clock.
