Brilliant Contest Due
AsGW and n. T.. State
Clash at Raleigh
By MerrelI Whittlesey
Stor Stoff Correspondent

RALEIGH, NC, Feb. 27-
George Washington's Colonials
face the toughest out-of-town
test of the schools best basket
ball season tonight when they
meet North Carolina State in
Reynolds Coliseum-where CIV
never has won a game.
It figures to be a corker be-
tween CIV with its 1871 record
and State with a 1926 mark-if
the Colonials can overcome the
awe that usually marks their
performances against the Wolf
pack.
Eight years ago Everett Case
came here from Indiana and
lifted N. c. State from a South
ern also-ran to a national con-
tender, and Is times his teams
have beaten CIV in regular sea-
son and tournament play, most
Of the games here.
Fans Surfeited With Victory.
Because of past failures
against State, the rabid basket
ball fans in this section have not
bought out the Coliseum for this
one. A crowd of between 5000
and 10000 is expected in the
12.400 capacity gym.
Butter Anderson, assistant
coach Of the Wolfpack, has
secuted CIV several times and
says the ColonialS are capable
Of winning the national cham
pionShip.
CIV starts the long climb
towards that goal when it plays
in the Southern Conference
tournament at Morgantown,
w. Va, next Thursday. If it
wins there it returns here March
8 to meet the Atlantic Coast
Conference titleholder in the
first round Of the NCAA play
offs.
High Scoring Due.
State has lost six games this
year. two to Duke after leading
almost all the way in both, two
to Wake Forest, one to Navy
and one to LaSalle. But its %
victims include Wake Forest, ST.
Johns, Penn State, Rio Grande,
Villanova, twice, Penn, and the
Phillips Oilers and Peoria Cater
pillars in exhibitions.
Both teams are at their best
at a fast pace and high scoring
is expected. Joe Holup and Corky
Devlin of CIV will match their
2O-plus averages against Mel
thompson, Vic Molodet and Rom
ME Shavlik, Thompson with 18-
plus a game and the others lust
short of Is points.
CIV has a Tuesday game at
Georgetown remaining, while
this ends States regular season.
The Wolfpack will be host to
the ACC tournament starting
Thursday. -,

There was much eyebrow rails

vorite and some had taken it
"off the boards" Perez had been
only a 6-to-5 favorite in the
afternoon.
ANY evil talk about Pep is a

took a feafful beating" Christen-

youth. It speaks for ITSELF"
Although the sad-eyed, 81
year-old Pep said he didn't plan
