Georgetown's extremely bright
basket ball prospects for this season
receive their first test tonight when
Coach Elmer Ripley runs the l941
Hoya cage edition onto the floor in
Baltimore against Loyola, champion
last year of the now dissolved Mary
land College League.
Others of the Capitals big three"
of collegiate basket ball-George
Washington and Maryland-won't
see their first competitive action
until late next week. On December
IA Maryland entertains the Uni
versity of Richmond while the
Colonials step down to Lexington
against Washington and Lee, re-
turning for their first home game
at Riverside against Oklahoma A.
and M.
The Hoyas experienced only a fair
season last year, but this time all
than usual team. In fact. it is being
whispered around the Georgetown
campus that this well might be one
of Ripley's great teams, so bright
is the outlook in spots.
Hoyas After City Title.
Last year was spent mostly in re-
building, but that arduous task was
not on the program this time. The
team almost was unmarried by grad
uations and is strengthened by sew
eral up-and-coming sophomores dis
tinguished for both height and
speed, a combination dearly loved
by Coach Ripley.
Last year George Washington
generally was recognized as the un-
official District champion-althoug
it split pair of games with George
town-~but this time Georgetown
really is challenging for top billing
No less than eight letter men
two Of them double winners-re-
turned to delight Ripley. They are
Capt. Irving Rizzi, John Dieckelman,
Francis O'Grady, Jim Giebel, George
Pajak, James Herman, Don Martin
and AL Lujack. In fact, only three
standout members of last years
quintet are missing-Frank DAILY,
Johnny Schmitt and Al Matuza-
and none will be sorely missed so
rich is the material remaining.
Colonials Likely Better.
Tonight's starting lineup probably
will be Giebel and Herman at for
wards. Bill Bornheimer at center
and Rizzi and <O'Grady at guards.
Bornheimer is the only sophomore
on the starting five, earning the
spot because his 6 feet inches
make him the teams tallest.
Georgetown opens its home sched-
ule playing Western Maryland next
Tuesday night at Tech gym.
George Washington's Colonials also
give promise of being better than
last year. Six sophomores are COM
ing up to add some needed reserve
strength and to take the place of

difficult task. He has only two letter
men left, Art Woodward and Gene
Ochsenreiter, and both we're reserves
last year. Greatest loss is George
De Witt, all-Southern Conference
for two years, who didn't return to
school, but none of the 1939-40 reg
ulars is available. Merle Du Vail, ace
forward, is in school, but his work
keeps him of the court while the
others graduated.
Last years court team Won 13 OF
81 encounters, but the prospects this
time are that Ship must pull tricks
to earn an even break in the 20-game
schedule. Workouts still are in a
preliminary stage, but indications
are that the teams main drawback
will be lack of experience.
Irving Gordy, Bob Fetters and Joe
Baumann are f1rst-year men who
likely will be starters. Gordy as CEN
ter and the other two as guards.
Forwards probably will be Ochsen-
reiter, only senior on the squad, and
Woodward, his letter-man running
mate.

Big Change in Attitude
Of Public Soon Due.

So far the volunteer enlistment
and the draft seem to be unim-
portant. Just wait few months.
1t will be quite different. There will
be a tremendous change in mental
attitude on the part of the public,
as we'll as those moving from reveille
to taps.
There still will be big league base
ball and college and pro football
games. But I think there still is
a big chance these will be secondary
matters to Army and Navy sport.
Kids who, perhaps, are not too
husky, who have had to make their
sacrifices, are not going to cheer for
younger and better athletes, perhaps
better off financially, who still are
riding the waves of gold and fame.
/ think this will apply to large pro-
portion of the country, unless there
Is an early peace.
This Army-Navy matter is some
thing that is just starting. Normally
it is wonderful thing to be young
fast and strong. But the world to-
day is upside down. The young
the fast and the strong must face
the catapult of fate. The man In
demand will be the athlete, who
hasn't bad eyes or fiat feet.

skidding all over the field. Flaherty
also successfully used basket ball
shoes in the last playof game the
Redskins were in, against the same
Bears in 1887.
Notwithstanding the possibility OF
continued cold, Washington weather
should seem like heaven to the
Bears unless the thermometer does a

Maybe that's one reason Owner
Coach George Halas is waiting until
Saturday to bring his squad to

Chicago Scribe Picks Skins.
The most optimistic signs OF a
Redskin victory these days comes
from-of all persons-a Chicago
sports writer whose allegiance il
wholly to the Bears. George Strick-
Ter, whose newspaper sponsors the
All-Star game at Soldier Field every
year, arrived yesterday and surpris-
ingly said he thought the Redskins
would beat the Bears again.
There's a lot of talent on oul
club" Strickler says, "but somehow
or other they just haven't clicked
in the manner that might be ex-
pected of them"
Strickler said that approximately
$500 Chicago fans were coming
for the game.

percentage point, Baugh Of the Red
skins set a new high in passing
efficiency with 62.7 average-which
means that Sammy completed nearly
two-thirds Of his passes. His 1910
performance also raised Baugh's life
time professional efficiency average
to 53.8 per cent-a mark never at
tanned by any other man. The
Singers third mark comes from the
yardage gained by his passes-the
1857 yards being 43 more than

Two days without hockey game
stretched before the busy Washing

preparation for an all-important

against the New York Rovers.
The Washington sextet added to

River Vale Skeeters, AZ, up in Jer-
sey. The Eagles got away in front,
scoring less than three minutes after
the game began. The Skeeters came
back with two counters in the next

to withstand Washington's three
