|C. u. Faces Delaware
Quint After Lickinq
Shoremen, 47-27

The last remaining test for Catho-
lie University's basket ball team in
the Mason Dixon Conference comes
up tomorrow when the Cards travel
to Newark, Del, for a game against
Delaware U. Several other loop con-
tests remain, but aside from Della
ware the Cards have defeated the
teams it still must play.
The Brookland school racked up
its seventh straight conference
triumph last night by trimming
Washington College, 47-27, and at
the same time ended three-game
losing streak forced on the Cards
by teams outside the loop. The
game also marked the return to
action Of Gene Szklarz. His ankle
still was taped, but he stayed in
long enough to make seven points
for c. U.
Washington College started the
game by tossing in two baskets for
Ia 40 lead, but that was the only
time the Shoremen even were in
the game. The Cardinals bounced
back for a 21-8 half-tim lead. Dick
Scanlon received a cut eye early in
the game, but returned to lead his
teams scorers with IA points.

The high school basket ball sea-
son is in that crucial stage where
every game helps or hurts nightly.
That particularly is true in tomor-
row nights double-header at Tech
gym in which Wilson meets West
ern and Tech tangles with Coolidge.
All are given good chances of being
among the four teams in the cham
pionship playof and of gaining an
opportunity to compete in the an

Eastern tangling with last-place
Central in the opener at 7:3O fol-
lowed by Roosevelt against Ana

over Central and In so doing lock up
a spot in the title playof1s.
The complexion Of several teams,
particularly Roosevelt, Western and
Coolidge, will be changed after this
week. These three are losing i'm
portant players by graduation.
Roosevelt especially is hard hit with
Bunny Citrenbaum, Pete Loomis
and Fred Kramer leaving. Western
after this week end must do without
Ray Love and Bob Tull, who with
Brian Bell largely have been re-
sponsible for the current third place
rating held by the Red Raiders.
Coolidge is losing Addy Basin,
who shares scoring honors on the
Colt quint with George Lafferty, but
this will be balanced to some extent
by the return of Sid Greenbaum
who has been ineligible because of
book trouble.
Roosevelt's departing courtmen
were guests Of honor at a dinner last
night at the Touchdown Club given
by Coach Dave Keppel. All, Incl
dentally, are headed for the services.
Citrenbaum and Loomis are going
into the Army and Kramer into the
Navy.
In giving these boys sendoff
Keppel said: If they fight just as
hard in the Army and Navy as they
have on the Roosevelt basket ball
team, then this war is going to be

The services naturally have q lot OF
good fighters and they would add a

If the servicemen are okayed,
Aronoff said, those who may have
won championships in tournaments
In the last year would be barred,
