Satin Glass Formula

The first glass manufactured In
this country was blown glass;" she

satin glass, which is blown glass
made in three layers, was originally
made by two brothers. They quar-

formula for the glass, died, and the
art was lost"

Colonial Quint Wary
Of Davidson, Foe
Here Tonight
Come Is Regarded More
Than Mere Tuneup for
Oklahoma Ag Scrap

With an eye on Wednesday night s
setto with Oklahoma A. and M.
but wary of its so-called little
opponent, George Washington
dribblers swing into action against
Davidson College tonight at Tech
High, seeking their second straight
victory of the campaign. The OPEN
ing tapoff is scheduled for $50
o'clock.
Bill Reinhart, the Colonials' men,
tor, was visibly impressed by Okla
homa Aggies 1924 triumph over
New York City College at Madison
Square Garden Saturday night, but
considers Davidson as much of a
mence after reviewing its record.
Davidson Record Good.
The Wildcats boast six lettermen
including Jim Cowan. third leading
scorer In the Southern Conference
last season. and have three vic
tories in four games to their credit.
Davidson nosed out V. M. l., 1892;
walloped the Carolina All-Stars
twice and was nosed out in the last
so seconds of play by Richmond,
1921. Such record gives Reinhart
no peace of mind and indicates that
his charges will have to get off in
high gear if they expect to emerge
on the long end of the score.
George Washington would like to
regard tonights game as a tune-up
for the Aklahoma Ag affair and
with plans for the latter game in
the back of his mind Reinhart will
send the same team to the post
that opened against Washington
and Lee last Saturday.
G. w. Needs Game.
Two Of this quintet, Joe Conner
a tall center, and Bobby Gillian,
a sharpshooting guard, are new
comers to the squad and displayed
marked ability to play the G. w.
brand of ball. Another game under
the belt to coordinate their work
with that of Reds Auerbach, George
CARRIER and Eddie Amendola should
be helpful against the tall, smooth
Midwestern outfit.
Oklahoma Ags play La Sale to-
night at Philadelphia and Duke to-
morrow night at Baltimore and
should be in full fight when it drops
