WhatIl it be folks, basket ball or
boxing? We have both.
Over here-next performance at
$3.50 this afternoon at College Park,
Maryland VS.. Washington and Lee
in another stupendous extravaganza
of sizzling leather in the old South
ern Conference style. It's an at
traction no man, woman or chee-ild
can afford to miss.
Tonight-one time only-the first
and only showing in this city and
at no increase in regular prices,
Catholic University VS.. McGill in
boxing and George Washington VS..
Virginia Tech in basket ball. Box
ing at Brookland and basket ball at
Tech High-both at $50. Hair
raising, ine-tingling, nerve shat
tering feats that defy duplication.
Action positively guaranteed or
money cheerfully refunded-maybe.
Catholic University's pillow-push-
ers take on one of the strongest
teams ever to set foot in this baili-
wick. McGill is loaded with cham.
pions-each and every one loaded
with dynamite They have four in
all. On their home grounds the
McGill boys are known as the orig
lnal Mickey Finns-one punch and
you're gone. But the Redbirds have
prepared warm reception for their
guests and, unless it is stretching
District fire regulations too far, ex-
pect to make it too hot for the
visitors.
Extra Bouts Fill Program.
Heavier classes will be featured
for McGill is shy of Ightweights and
plentifully supplied with heavy hit
tiers. To take up slack extra bouts
will be inserted in the welter and
light-heavyweight classes. The
change heartily was approved by
Coach Eddie La Fond of Catholic.

any Pancho Villas among his little
men.

George Washington, hitting a
merry pace since the turn of the
year, is heavy choice over v. P. l.,
although the Gobblers shouldn't be
sold short after waging a bangup
battle against Maryland last night,
Tech has small but smart team
that moves fast. The visitors missed
numerous shots last night that
ordinarily would have dropped and
they made a difference.
Presidents Fund Gets Profit,
Coach Bill Reinhart intends to
use the same starting five in George
Washington's lineup that galloped
over Navy to a 1929 victory earlier
In the week.
Proceeds from tonight's game will
be turned in to the Presidents
Birthday Fund for the fight on
paralysis. Stundent books will be
honored as usual and other tickets
will sell for IS cents and 81.
Maryland uncovered a brand new
star in Artie Woodward as it came
from behind to record its 18th con-
secutive victory over v. p. I. last
night, and on basis of its show
ing is a slight choice over Washing
ton and Lee. Woodward led a Sec
ond-haf surge that enabled the
Terps to blot out Techs 26-15 half
time advantage and win going away.
He chalked up 13 points, outscoring
reliable George Dewitt by one.
Maryland's second -stringers start.
ed the fray, but quickly gave way
to the regulars when v. P. I. ran
up a 100 lead in the first 6 min
utes. Pershing Mondorff broke the
ice for the eventual victory with
field goal after Z minutes.
