Home for q while, and glad of 1t,
the Metropolitan Washington COL
lege basketball teams will concen-
trate on beating each other this
week, with three local rivalries CO.
featuring the schedule.
Tomorrow night Georgetown and
Maryland will forget their previous
setbacks when they meet at the
National Guard Armory at $3.50. The
local rivalry theme will be inten-
sified on Wednesday in the first Of
the Georgetown-George Washing
ton meetings, also at the Armory,
which will mark the first local ap-
pearance OF Dave Shapiro, G. WIS
gang-buster.
Another local meeting that will
not get the fanfare Of the others,
but probably will produce basket
ball equally as good, will be the
Mason-Dixon Conference scrap be-
tween American University and
Catholic University Friday night in
the A. U. gym.
V.M.I. Here for Two Games.
Virginia Military Institutes visit
for a pair of Southern Conference
engagements with Maryland Friday
night and George Washington on
Saturday, the latter game at East
ern High School, should give the
Terps and Colonials an opportunity
to better their Conference records.
Georgetown has the weeks tough
est assignment. After meeting both
Maryland AND G. w., the Hoyas
make their annual appearance on
a Buffalo double-header program
Saturday night against Canlsius.
Coach Elmer Ripley's cagers stop
OH at Easton, Pa, on the way home
to meet Lafayette a week from to-
morrow nigh.
George Washington ends its North
Carolina invasion by playing the
Tar Heels tomorrow night. Mary
land has Wednesday night date
with Penn at Philadelphia.
Catholic University has the stage
to itself Tuesday night against
Western Maryland, a Mason Dixon
Conference foe.
ID. C.. Teams, Unpredictable.
The Armory games tomorrow and
Wednesday will lind GEORGETOWN
a slight favorite over Maryland and
an even choice against George
Washington. Despite Maryland's
dismal record of two victories in
nine games, the Terps have played
good ball on occasion and with the
exception of their second game with
Virginia, they've had a chance to
win any game they've played up
until the last few minutes. But
they've been finishing weakly and
that has hurt.
Both Georgetown and G. w. have
been playing in fast company. Un-
practicable is the word for George
town while the Colonials also have
won some they figured to lose and
lost some they figured to win, which
should make for an interesting eve
ming.
American u, the Districts sur
prise team to date. has had c. u.
Coach Abe Rosenfield as a guest at
all its home games to date. The
Cardinals want to win this one,
and when Rosenfield said "they'r
is points better than we are" when
he watched the Eagles beat Penn
State, he didn't mean it.
