Congressman Jennings Randolph

up the first basket ball tomorrow
night when Davis-Elkins plays Co.

The game is scheduled for 8 o'clock.
Jennings Is an alumnus Of Davis
Elkins and an ardent supporter of

will help the Senators once the bat
tie is under way Is something else.
With three straight victories under
their belts the Explorers are setting
a burning pace and seem to be too

Davis-Elkins absorbed a 65-22
shellacking from Long Island last
Saturday night at New York.
Columbus boasts two Of the Dis"

Burns and "Acky" Viana. Burns Is
tied with Marylands Ernie Travis for
second place with 80 points. but has
a 4-goal margin over the lank Terp
whose 13 foul conversions have
boosted his total considerably. Viana
is sixth with IL field goals and eight
fouls, 80 points.
Georgetown's Bill Bornheimer,
taken down a couple of pegs by
Temple last Saturday night when
the Hoyas dropped their first game
of the season by one point, heads
the scoring parade with 81 field goals
and four fouls, 46 points. He got
only seven against Temple.
The Hoyas came within fraction

Colonial Five on Spot
In Facing Oklahoma,
.Stung by Defeat
Sooners' Simmering Rage
Expected to Boil Over
In Bottle Tonight
By LEWIS F. ATCHISON.

George Washington's bucket bri-
gade probably will be the underdog
against Oklahoma tonight at River
side Stadium, but the Colonials are
set for a do-or-die effort that
promises to blow the Sooners into
the Potomac.
Oklahoma, smarting from the sting
Of q 36-47 setback by st. Johns of
Brooklyn last Saturday night. boasts
one OF the Nations tallest teams and
Is the favorite in the Big Six cham
pionship race coming up. 1t seems
to have all the necessary ingre-
dents for a good quint and will be
out to even up the books at G. W.'s
expense.
But Coach Bill Reinhart has left
no stone unturned to bring the Co
lonials to their peak for their second
intersectional clash Of the season.
One contemplated shift in the start
ing lineup may bring Jim Myers to
forward for either Joe Gallagher
or Roy Mcneil. Myers played rip
snorting game against Oklahoma
A. and NJ. last week, meriting pro-
motion. but all three will see lot
of action, regardless Of which starts.
Tucker Is Sooner Star.
Reinhart also has drilled his men
strenuously on tap-of plays and ex-
poets no repetition OF their dismal
efforts In the Oklahoma A. and M.
game when they controlled the tap,
but failed to get possession Of the
ball. Whether the home team will
control the ball tonight is con-
jectural, for Oklahoma has a 6-foot
~ inch center in Gerald Tucker.
1t is Tucker, rather than the
widely publicized "Ug" Roberts, that
G. w. must watch tonight. His
ambidextrous shooting from the
pivot kept Oklahoma in the run
ming against st. Johns while his
mates were unable to find the range.
Tucker tipped in eight field goals
and three fouls for 10 points against
the Indians, easily topping both
teams, and a repeat performance
tonight would Just about wreck the
Colonials.
Roberts, however, played a fine
defensive game against st. Johns,
his work, together with that of Tom
Rousey, holding down the final
count. He is supposed to be fine
shot and has a good record In this
department. so it may be that the
New York game will have to be dis
regarded.
G. W. Banks on Zunic.
Oklahoma used both zone and
man-for-man defenses against st.
Johns, but was too sluggish under
the blackboard and lost the ball to
the Indians on virtually every play
That isn't normal and G. w. can't
hope for the same luck.
Supporters of the downtown team
are pinning their hopes on Matt
zunic, who didn't play his best game
last week, and general revival of
the other Colonials. Bobby Gilham
whose floor play was Of a spectacu-
lar nature against A. & M, but
whose eye was trif1e off, could be
the difference between victory and
defeat if he finds the range.

Fordham snapped back to win its
two remaining games and receive

Some of the writers just called
Texas the surprise of the year,
others mentioned the Longhorns' TT
tie with Baylor, their 14-7 defeat at
the hands of Texas Christian and
the III victory over Oregon in the
final game of the season. One writer
said Texas failure to play In any
bowl was the biggest surprise.
Billy Conn had Joe Louis on the

that gallant stand, the Pittsburgh
