Picking a favorite for The Stars
II annual Metropolitan basket
ball toul nament next week presents
innumerable difficulties, with the
caliber of all competing teams so
high there is little to choose among
them. Certainly this promises to
be the best tourney in the events

in the lot.
Bound to receive much considera-
ton, however, is George Washing

of Is of their Is games so far, the

an even choice with the District pub

Humphreys estimated that the

A remarkable fact in the Gel
