ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY and Gallaudet basket ball teams play on their own courts tonight, the former with Geneva College and the lat- ter with Columbus University. All the other local college teams that have games play away. Both con- tests here begin at 8:30. In other previous games of this week Catholic University went down before Benjamin Franklin which, prior to that, had hardly been regarded in the same class with the Brooklanders. Out at C.

The Kendall Greeners, under such conditions, should strive even harder to win tonight. George Washington "and Maryland, after doing themseives proud last night by beating Villanova and Virginia Mili- tary Institute, meet other teams on 10k~ eign floors tonight. The Colomals play Drexel at Philadelphia, and, if they continue their good work, cught to win. Maryland remains in Lexington to face Wasnington and Lee, to which it droppea two games last season. ihe other game in whicn a local school is to take part is that in whica tie Benjamin Franklin five meeis Mount St. Mary'’s at kmmitsburg. If ils victory cver Catholic University Thursday night means anything much, the Accountants ought to give Mount Bt. Mary's a battle. * Catholic University and George Washington Freshman teams are 1o play, tne fcrmer with Gonzaga at Brookland at 7:15 and the latter with Business in the George Washington gymnasium at 4 o'clock. EORGE WASHINGTON probably made a more brilliant showing than even its own coach expected when it whipped Villanova last night by 31 to 20. The Colonials expected to put up a great fight, but hardly thought they would be able to draw down the bacon in what must have been a bril- liantly played contest. It was Burgess and Conner who, by remarkable individual work, gave George Washington the victory. Both shot many goals and the general floor work of the latter was exceptional. Burgess threw four goals from the floor and six from the foul line for a total of 14 points, while Conner got six from the floor and one from foul line for 13 points. These same men put up a great exhibition against the Navy Wednesday at Annapclis and apparently in them George Washingion has two of the best players in the section. Line-ups: F.

To go on an opponent’s floor and win by virtually doubling the score; 35 to 18, is something very sel- dom seen in basket ball, yet Maryland did that against Virginia Military Insti- tute. Apparently possessed of four men in its line-up who can shoot, the Old Line team ought to be an exceptionally hard five to stop. Norris, rangy center, led in the scor- ing with 17 points, getting six from the floor and five from the foul mark. The Old Line pivot man is almost tall enough to put the ball in the basket if in a close position, but seems to have his eye on the ring just as accurately when shooting from the 15-foot line.

Alexander in a speech last night | blamed politics for “athletics’ deca- | | dence” at Georgia Tech and announced that the election of a foot ball cap- | | tain would be postponed until the var- | | sity assembles next Fall. He spoke at the annual foot ball banquet. “From 1912 to 1929 we had no poli- | tics in our athletics,” he said. “When |the foot ball team was returning from | the Rose Bowl with the national foot ball champipnship and the greatest victory ever yon by a Georgia Tech | team, politics ‘entered into the election of a captain. “That was the reason. Our athletic | decadence dates from that day. “If 1 were a player and a man at- ‘mmpfed to tell me how to vote for | my captain I would smash him one in |the face. Selfish interests will no |longer be tolerated. We will have a team that will play as a unit. We will {have a teamp that is strictly amateur in every sefise of the word. We will have a team that is positively eligible in its studies. If we cannot win games with them we will lose. But it will be a team that is honest and one that we can be proud of.

January 10 (A).— important | No causing plenty trouble series: That victory over Tech left the hearts of Eastern supporters throbbing. What & a luscious triumph it was for the Light Blue. Tech has harassed Eastern ath- letic teams unremitiingly. Eastern may not be “in” so far as the title is con= cerned, but try to tell that to any who swear by-the Light Blue. On the other hand, Tech adherents point out that one loss in no way means the elimina- tion of their quint. Still See Tech Strong. They rather believe, or hope, that i a good sign, recalling that last sea- son Tech lost not only its first game but two of its first three contests only then to get its bearings and crash to the title.

Resolute finishes swept both &‘wrn in the | and Western to triumph. Eastern was trailing by a lone point, 20 to 21, as the third quarter ended, but with Big Bill Noonan, center, leading the way, shot ahead as the fourth quarter got under way to stay. Tech’s zone defense failed to function smoothly for the most part and Noonan, particularly, worked his way close enough to goal to score time and again. . Western was forced to stave off a desperate Business challenge in the final moments which saw the Stenogs cut the Red team’s lead to 25-23 be» fore Latona brcke away to dribble down the hardwood to sink one and Fox tossed in a shot from the foul line to assure Western victory. Keen Contest All Way. From the outset Eastern and Tech put on a great scrap. Eastern was cling- ing to a 6-5 edge at the end of the first quarter, but Tech was ahead, 12 to 10, at the half. Tech at one time during the third quarter was leading by eight points, 20 to 12, but was hanging to the lead by only one point, 20 to 19, as the third quarter endeed. Then East- ern, in that last period, proceeded in workmanlike style to go out and win. Business gave ‘Western a mighty tus- sle for the first quarter, which ended 17-7, despite that the Stenogs used sec- ond-stringers most of the way. It seems that Business might have done well to have kept some of those reserves in the game. At any rate, with the Stenog first-stringers on the job, Western pro- ceeded to get out in front by a com- fortable margin, which it maintained right up to the time Business put on that robust but futile rally in the clos- ing moments. Aside from Bill Nconan, who led both teams in scoring in the Eastern- Tech battle with 13 points, Dallas Shir- ley, guard, played unusually well for the Light Blue. He was in the game all the way, his passing, defensive work and generally steady exhibition aidihg his team mightily.

NLESS there is a decided reversal of form from what Schmel- ing delivered at his last official appearance, there will be a new heavyweight champion of the world this year, pro- vided there is any heavyweight warfare along the Western or Eastern front. No one is good enough in any game to improve through in- action or to pick up skill, stamina and the rest of it from the out- side looking in. Schmeling looked to be one of the best of the prospects when he first came over and beat such men as Sekyra, Risko and Paulino. Then an automobile accident and a long period of inaction combined to take the tisual toll, which is rarely light. Schmeling had slipped a long way when he faced Jack Sharkey, and as he hasn’t fought any one since, it is inconceivable that he- has improved over his last start. No young fighter who needs work and experience can make any headway by boxing four com- % Eetmve rounds in more than a year and a half. This is the posi- jon that Schmeling holds. He still is young enough to get back in good shape and make a formidable opponent against Stribling or Sharkey, but each will have a big edge. Stribling has been fighting and improving, and Sharkey has had far more experience than the German and needs less work. Schmeling will go in as the underdog and the challenger will “When we ev0 s be the favorite.
