‘SPORTS) THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1928, SPORTS: 37, * Catholic U. Quint in Game Tonight : Benner Will Lead 1929 Tech High Eleven . WILLIAM AND MARY TOSSERS T0 INVADE Cardinals May Have to Play Without Services of Blumette. ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY'S bas- ‘ ket ball team will play its sec- ond game of the season to- night, entertaining William and Mary tossers in the big Brook- land gymnasium. The match will follow a preliminary between the Cardinal freshmen and Business High, starting at 7:15 o'clock. The Stenogs were to engage C. U. freshmen Jast night, but the match was postponed until tonight. Despite that William and Mary was beaten by Johns Hopkins, 38 to 23, Jast night in Baltimore, the Indians are apt to offer C. U. a lively battle to- nrght. Last night's match was the first of the season for Willlam and Mary and the Williamsburg team probably will show to better advantage against the Cardinals. Moreover, C. U. may have to start the game without Johnny Blumette, & forward and one of the most promising members of its inexperienced squad, It is feared that scholastic difficulties will prevent Blumette playing. If he is declared ineligible, he will not be able to again get in the game until about February 1. Should Blumettz be unable to start jtonight, either Hal Ogden' or Tut Amann, reserves on last Winter's var- isity squad, will hold down his job. The remainder of the Cardinal line-up will be the same as started against | University of Baltimore in C. U.'s open- iing game Saturday—Bill Fitzgerald, forward; -Duke McCabe, center, and Larry Martin and Al Papalia, guards. Silverman, forward, is the big threat of the William and Mary team. -Last season when the Indians made a fine record he scored 248 points” Last night ‘against Hopkins Silverman count- ied 13, more than half his team’s total. Amierican University will play its sec~ ond game of the court season tomors yow .night in Richmond, engaging Vir- ginia Medical College. The Methodists showed impressively in winning their opening game over Gallaudet, 30 to 21, and are certain to offer the Virginians ta brisk battle. Coach Maud Crum now has candi- |dates for George Washington Univer- ty's basket ball squad down to hard jpreparation, for the campaign. The {squad last night was cut to 16 in order that Crum may concentrate on the jmore promising aspirants. It is plan- |ned to later slash the squad to 10, which will be the number carried through the campaign. One of the most" likely appearing newcomers in the squad is-Roudabush,, Roudabush is battling for a forward |regulars from last season, and Young, ifle'eu and Thacker.

ALLHIGH WINGAAN S NAMED CPTAN Western Quint Is Rounding| Into Trim—Emerson to | Play Tomorrow. | ILLIS BENNER, crack end,| has been chosen as captain of the 1929 Tech High School foot ball team. Benner, a wingman who is described by | Hap Hardell, Tech coach, as one of | the best high school ends he has ever tutored, was an all-high selection dur- ing the past season. He is the only veteran on the line returning next Fall and_with Dunbar Goss, fullback, will be the only boys of appreciable season- | ing on the Tech squad. Under the tutlelage of Clifton R.| Moore, new coach, the Western High basket ball team is gradually acquiring polish. Despite the probability of the loss of valuable players through in- eligibility the Western mentor is by no means discouraged and is hopeful | of developing a sturdy combination. Leading candidates for the Western team include Capt. John Woods, George Baer and John Eaton, forwards; Bob | Freeman, center, and Herbert Thomp- | son, Mike Hunt and William Bouic, guards. Baer, Freeman, Eaton and Bouic all played with the Western light- weight team last Winter. Emerson is to open its court season tomorrow afternoon when it will invade ‘Business High gymnasium to engage the Stenogs. In other scholastic games of interest tomorrow Western will meet Swavely at Manassas, Va., and Hyatts- ville High and Oakton High will meet at Oakton, Fairfax County, Va.

Capelli and Rebey. P. Travers and Wiley did most of Alex- andria’s scoring. Today was to be the busiest of the week for schoolboy quints hereabout, with four games carded. Georgetown Prep was to open its schedule against Central in the Central gym, Tech was to engage Woodward School at the Y. M. C.

Murchison and Nurmi first met on the field of friendly contest in Paris in 1924. Their friendship was re- newed when Nurmi made his fa- mous tour of American tracks in 1925, often running on the same bill with Marchison. “I remember over in Newark in 1925 said Hugo Quist, Finnish American friend of both, “when some girl wanted to have her picture taken with Paavo and he would not do it until Loren would get into the pic- ture, too.” GIANTS BUY MINOR CLUB.

It was also_ doubtful whether Johnny Haas, star forward, would be able to get into the game. Minnesota, which has fafled to win a preliminary game thus far, will tackle the fast Carleton College team at Min- neapolis and Washington University's team, which defeated Indiana last week, will invade Jowa in the other two games on the card. Pittsburgh's Panthers ended their dis- astrous invasion of Big Ten camps last night by defeating Ohio State, 34 to 26, in a loosely played game at Co- luribus. It was the only Big Ten con- quest of the invasion for the Panthers, who trimmed every Big Ten opponent it met last season. Influenza, bane of Big Ten basket ball coaches this season, has invaded Purdue also and three of Ward Lam- | bert’s _best forwards, Glen Harmeson. | Bob Daniels and Victor Gibbens, are out.
