Tech High GYMS first capacity
crowd OF the current basket ball
season, with rival student bodies
cramming opposite sides of the
court, is expected tomorrow after
noon, when George Washington and
Maryland hook up in an all-local
holiday game at 2::3O o'clock.
1t will be G. VS. first major in
traclty game in nearly 10 years. or
the first since its last football game
with Catholic University. in 1929.
The game will be preceded by
! O'Clock contest between the fresh
man fives of the neighboring
schools. Maryland's yearlings al
ready holding one decision over G.
W.s as the result of 4 previous
fray
Because it has appeared more
impressive against consistently stiff
er opposition than that faced by
Maryland and because it will be in
fresher condition than its foe from
College Park, G. W. will enter the
game odds-on favorites to hand the
Terps their second defeat in three
all-local games.
Maryland Team Worn.
That 40-38 decision over Catholic
University last night undoubtedly
will have its effect on Maryland,
which will be called upon to play
its second hard game iii AZ hours
and its third game within a four
day period. G. w. on the other
hand, has rested since returning
home from its Western trip last

prepared for what never appeared
to be an exceptionally formidable
task anyway.
Should G. w. win, as expected. 1t
will supplant the Old Liners as rum
ner-up to Georgetown in the Dis
trict standings. Counting last nights
last-mlnute victory. Maryland now
has record of II victories againt5
7 defeats compared to George
towns II victories and losses.
In the event of victory, the only
difference between G.. w. and
Georgetown would be that the for
mer would have lost one more game.
Tomorrows fray will bring to-
gether the two individuals who are
making a race for the years scoring
honors. Although George De Wits
p points against c. U. last night
put him eight up on Bob Faris in
total points. the G. W. senior still
is averaging IL points more per
game than the Maryland sopho.
more.
Faris Has Top Average.
Although he has played in three
more games ,han Faris. De Witt has
scored only 2l3 points to his rivals
205. The averages read, Faris, 1881;
De Witt. 1l.21
In all probability, C. WIS Sid
Silkowitz will be assigned the task
of guarding De Witt. with George

All TO Keep Coin
From Tickets
They Sell
Expenses to Be Split;
Event Slated for
March 6, 7, H.. IS
By ROD THOMAS.

For the first time in the history
OF The Stars annual tournament
for the interscholastic basket ball
championship of metropolitan
Washington. the schools represented
will share in the profits. which here
tofore have gone exclusively to the
Community Center Department.
The seven District high schools
and the several schools beyond the
border lines of the Capital invited
to participate will be permitted to
sell tickets to the tournament and
keep the coin, with expenses to be
prorated The Community Center
Department, also prorated, will re-
ceive receipts from admissions not
sold by the schools In case of
deficit, extremely unlikely. The Star
will make it up.
Lots of Cooperation.
This arrangement was made pos
sible by cooperation of the Board
Of Education, the Board of High
School Principals and the Commu-
nifty Center Department. Price of
admission to each session will be
Is cents
The tournament will be held at
Tech March 6, 7. IA and Is, with
the latter two dates subject to
change due to complicated civil and
sports programs. The city could
stand lot more facilities for such
affairs, it is becoming more and
more apparent.
The eight leading boy teams and
the four best girl teams of the Dis
trict and nearby counties of Mary
land and Virginia. chosen on this
seasons records. will be invited. The
champion and runnerup of the Dis
trict interscholastic tournament au-
tomatically will become eligible.
More feuding will determine the
other selections but it appears
cinch that st. Johns. winner of the
boys title in the 1898 tournament,
will be qualified to defend its hon.
orS.
Dates Are Announced.
Dates for the tournament were
chosen to avoid conflict with other
basket ball activities important to
metropolitan Washington institu-
tions. The annual Sportsmanship
Tournament. sponsored by Richard
Montgomery High of Rockville will
be held March 2 and 3 and the
Washington and Lee University in
terscholastic South Atlantic cham
pionship event on March 9, 10 and
II. On March 8. at Tech, will be
played a momentous game between
Georgetown and George Washing
ton Universities.
Games to be played this week
which will have a bearing on Star
tournament invitations are:
Thursday-St. Johns VS.. Coma
ga, Tech gym, pm. (St. Johns
holds a decision over GonzagaD
Friday-Montgomery- Blair VS.. Be-
thesda- Chevy Chase. at Bethesda,
pm. (B.-C. c. has beaten Mont
gomery- -Blair)
Friday-George Washington High
VS.. Washington-Lee, at WI, 8 pm.
g. w. has beaten WI. and ap-
pears to be a cinch to win this one.)
In the girls field, George Wash
ington, Mount Rainier and Mont
gomery- Blair look to be almost GER
tain choices, with the fourth team
puzzler.

Within three minutes another
pitch of Ortiz's struck the ground
and caromed off Earlys leg, high up
and near the groin. Early was
painfully hurt and Harris motioned
him to the club house and called
for Evans, hot-tempered rookie.
Evans did all right. but not until
Lopez went behind the bat did Ortiz
show definite improvement. Lopez
hadn't pulled on a glove since last
Summer, but he bravely relieved
Evans and handled the hot shoots

how important it is to throw his
fast ball evenly and off both fingers.
Then, instead of sinking, it will

Ortiz is having his problem in
camp now. Little mercy is being

his American mates. A wit tagged

Evans probably is the most hot

1t may develop that Lopez will be-

from Tampa and respect his ability.
AS a matter of fact Manager Harris
today was to try to cash in doubly
on Lopezs presence.
I'm not only going to turn Ortiz
over to Lopez so that he can learn
to PITCH said Bucky, but I'm 60
ing to get this Early to stand and
watch every move Lopez makes when
he catches. He's my idea of a le-
ceiver, this Lopez. He handles
Ortizs stuff as If I were pitching

There are some in camp who are
inclined to believe that hiring Lopez
is one of the best deals Griff ever
made. We think so, too.
