The fact that Jimmy Connolly, former Blue and Gray_captain, will be competing in the Baxter mile makes the affalr in the Big Town evam more interesting from a local viewpoint. Georgetown's quartet of speedsters will match strides for the second time this geason with flvers of Holy Cross and Boston College. The Blue and Gray vanquished these combinations in the Millrose games. If the Hill- toppers triumph again tonight, it will be their third victory in as many starts this campaign. Maryland’s four will test its mettle against Harvard and Yale. Recently in the Millrose affair the Old Liners scored over Harvard, but in this race son anchor man fell, but there question that Maryland would have won had this not oc- curred. At any rate Harvard is sure to put forth extra efforts tonight to show that the College Parkers’ win was not earned. Maryland also is sure to encounter the sternest sort o opposition from Yale as the old Elis are desirious of settling some old scores against the Terrapin The Blue and Gray relay team which will flash in tonight’s affair robably will comprise Capt.

A real punch may be added to Georgetown's Spring foot ball practice by scrimmages with the Navy squad at Annapolis. Maryland worked with the Middies last season each Saturday, and both got such benefit from the brushes that they will be continued this Spring. However, the Old Liners may split the sessions with the Blue and Gray, appeariug at Annapolis on alternate Saturdays. If this arrange- ment is decided upon, the scrimmages probably will start early in April. Preliminary work for both varsity and freshmen grid candidates at Georgetown was to begin this after- noon at the Hilltop. Two of the brightest foot ball stars of recént years in local scholastic foot ball ranks probably will shine next Fall with the Georgetown fresh- men eleven. Matt Twoomey, former Gonzaga luminary, who before enter- ing the I street school was a bulwark of the Devitt School eleven, now is enrolled at the Hill top, and Johnny Bozek, sensation of Gonzaga elevens | of the past few seasons, also is ex- Fe(l';.ed to enter Georgetown in the Fall.

It marked Au- burn's eleventh straight victory. The Tar Heels of North Carolina, however, continued to show signs of retaining thelr long-worn crown by taking in tow all opposition with the exception of Maryland. They split a two-game eeries with the Old Liners and also won from North Carolina State.

Knowing how to throw a foul is mighty valuable in basket ball. But suppose you were playing against a team that played such a clean gamo that oniy five fouls were called in the game. Then, if you could throw every foul and couldn’t dribble or pass you could score only 5 points. The team that wins the most games is the team that has five men, each of whom can cage free throws, dribble and pass and shoot for the basket from the fleld. The team that can do only a part of this program is going to be an easy victim of a well trained quintet. Practice the dribble before you start your attempts for goal tomorrow.
