CIV Tonight in
League Debut

Wakefield High Schools bas-
Iketball team will be introduced
L to Virginia Group I League COM
petition tonight and Warrior
fans are hoping it will be the be-
ginning to a campaign similar
in success to the schools second
place finish in football.
Standing in the way Of Wake
field tonight. however, Is the fact
that the game is at George
Washington High. which houses
another good basketball team
this year and where the Presi-
dents have been defeated just
three times in the past eight
seasons.
The reason for this astonish-
ing record is that GW's gymna-
SUM has the dimensions of a
match box and CIV always floods
the small floor with a zone de-
tense. Quite often the other
team uses a zone, too. but CIV
is more used to the confines.
Ready For Zone
Robbie Robinson, the Wake
field coach. assumes correctly
that his club will face the zone
tonight but believes he has
about five men who can shoot
over it. Because of that. I think
we have a chance to beat CIV. +"
he said the other night after los
ing to Northwestern by 3 points
That defeat was Wakefleld's
third in four games. CIV has
won four in a row since an OPEN
ling loss to st. Johns, including
an 87-74 vicotry over North
western.
