This weeks collegiate sports pro-
gram here is nearly as bare as q
certain lady's cupboard, but 1t in
cludes q couple of engagements that
atone for its anemic appearance.
George Washington pits its fast
breaking attack against Maryland's
staid zone defense tomorrow night at
College Park and the following night
Georgetown tries conclusions with
Penn State at Tech High.
Two other contests are listed.
Catholic University is host to st.
Vincent's at Brookland in a counter
attraction to the Hoya- State scuffle
Wednesday The fourth and final
game to be committed on local
boards brings Virginia Military In
stitute to College Park Thursday
night.
But the boys have a couple of
attractive out-of-toWn dates to keep
them occupied. The National A. A.
U. indoor track championships at
New York will lure a large squad of
Hap Hardell's hooters from George
town and the Southern Conference
track and boxing championships will
be well patronized by Maryland. The
ringmen converge on Columbia, S. c.,
and the runners at Chapel Hill.
Tough Date for Terps.
George Washington, with an i'm
pressive record OF victories. is top
heavy favorite over the Terps and
should come through with colors
flying. The downtown dribblers ap-
pear to have too much balance and
scoring power in Red Auerbach, Joe
Conner, George CARRIER ct al, for
Maryland's George De Witt and his
playmates.
Maryland would like to interrupt
George Washingtons parade through
District teams, but the game it must
win is that with Virginia Military
Institute Thursday night. On it
hinges its hopes of getting a bid to
the annual conference tournament.
Georgetown, crippled by the loss
of George Pajak, high-scoring guard,
who suffered fractured arm in last
weeks game with American Univer-
sity, will be the underdog against
Penn State. Earlier in the campaign
the Nittany Lions hung a 1922 lac
Ing on the Hoyas and since have
bowled over Army, Navy. West Vir-
ginla and a few other top-ranking
outfits.
Pajak's loss will throw the point
manufacturing burden directly on
Irving Rizzi, who has been an i'm
portant cog in the Georgetown ma
chine this winter. Rizzi may fill
the role acceptably. for he chalked
up II points against West Virginia
recently, but Coach Elmer Ripley
prefers to use him as a floor gen.
eral to direct the plays.
Hoyas in Seton Hall Meet.
The Hoyas will be- represented in
Seton Halls games at Newark, N. j.,
this evening by Phil Graves, Jim
Fish and Jack Doolan. Graves will
run the mile. Doolan is down for
the 6O-yard sprint and Fish is en-
tered in the 1000. This will be
prelude to the national champion
ships in which Georgetown hopes
to snare couple of titles.
Coach Heine Miller will take a
full squad of Maryland mitten ma
nipulators to Columbia for the con-
ference boxing tournament and the
Terps may be in there swinging for
the team crown at the final bell.
Three championships-or Is points
was sufficient to take the title last
year as Maryland nosed out North
Carolina and if three men can swing
it again this year Maryland has
an excellent chance.
Newton Cox will defend his 1861
pound crown and should be success
full. Bob Bradley, 127-pounder, and
Nate Askin, 135 pounds, are Mary
lands other outstanding hopes and
on comparative records both figure
to go to the finals. Bradley sat out
last weeks match with Western
Maryland to guard against reopen
ing an eye cut and should be in
good condition for the two-day title
test.
Maryland hopes for track honors
will be vested in the reliable Jim
Kehoe, Mason Chronister, Tommy
Fields and mile relay team. Alan
Miller will defend his quarter-mile
title and others will be running to
keep their crowns, too. Kehoe holds
the half-mile laurels and Chronis-
ter is king of the indoor milers.
Joe Murphy will let his 60-yard
honors go begging, passing up the
indoor meets to be ready for a big
outdoor campaign.
