Of hand, we'd say Georgetown
and George Washington should
win their opening basket ball
games this week end without draw
ing a deep breath, but that was
before looking over scouting notes
from the hinterlands. George
town will beat Western Maryland
tonight and ditto for G. w. against
Wake Forest tomorrow-but the
boys should get run for their
money.
The Catholic U.-Gallaudet party
at Eastern tonight, and Gallaudet-
American U. shindig tomorrow night
strictly are local disturbances and
you know what they are. Anybody
can win-after a furious struggle.
Western Maryland, Mason-Dixon
Conference champ, has a new
coach at the helm in Charles A.
CRip) Engle and a veteran team.
The Terrors lost only three men
of a squad of II by graduation
and in Frank Suffern and 1rv Bl-
asi have the nucleus for another
strong ouint. Roce Gibson, Memo
Robinson and Lee Lodge, who saw
much service last season, probably
will be in the starting lineup.
Best G. U. Team to Start.
GEORGETOWN, guarding against a
repetition of the upset suffered at
Lovola's hands in its debut last
wear, will put its best team on the
floor, with Capt. Buddy O'Grady
and Don Martin at guards, Bill
Bornheimer, center, and Ken Engles
and Charley Schmidt, forwards.
This group accounted for ATS points
last season-more than half the
Hoyas' total - with Bornnelmer
leading the assault on the cords
with 167.
Wake Forest was hard hit. by
graduation. but Coach Murray
Greason has Jim Bonds, Lefty
Herger and Herb Cline to build
around and thinks he has uncov-
cred a sophomore who will help
take up the slack in one George
Veitch. George tipped II field
goals through the hoop against the
McCrary Eagles, as the Deacons
chalked up a 50-4l decision In thelr
opening test.
Cline, injured in football, has
been slowly rounding into shape
and should be ready to go AGAINST
the Colonials, although Chuck
Fineberg, his understudy, has been
handling the role acceptably IN ms
absence. Jimmy Dowtln, 6-foot,
3-inch soph. is in line for the same
berth and ready to move in II either
of the above falter. Bonds and
Berger will start at forward. Veltch
gets the call at one guard and Ray
Koteski and Joe Hinerman are pat
ting for the other spot, altnougn
Koteski. a regular forward on last
vear's frosh team, may be USED
in a reserve role at that position.
Wake Forest Gets Tuneup.
wake Forest meets Loyola to-
nirht at Baltimore and will nave
tI,o advantage of a couple OF
games on the Colonials, whose eH-
perience is limited to scrimmages
with several local opponents,
Gallaudet hopes to surprise both
Catholic U. and American. Ihe
Blues were out en- masse to scout
the Cards in their victorious debut
against Mount St. Msrys and be-
lieve they profted by what they
saw. but c. U. rules a favorlte.
Staff Cassell's problem at Amerl-
can is giving his rockies badly
needed experience while trying to
keep the team on even keel. Fresh
men will make or break the Eagles
this winter and at this writing the
outlook is none too promising.
Maryland goes to the Old Do
minion to play Richmond U. to-
morrow night and William and
Mary Monday evening.
