Athletes Hold Spotlight : Blizzard Handicaps Olympic Sledders BOXERS T0 BATILE MIAMI U. TONIGHT Basketers Invade Virginia Tomorrow—=G. U. and Cards Win, A. U. Stopped. BY H. C. BYRD. ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY'S basket ball team, victorious over two worthy opponents, Loyola and Bucknell, in its last two games, leaves tomorrow on a two-day trip to play Univer- sity of Virginia at Charlottesville and Virginia Polytechnic Institute at Blacksburg. The Brooklanders have high hope of making a good showing against two of the Old Dominion’s leading schools. ‘Tomorrow night Virginia is to be C. U.’s opponent. That the local school will be against an exceptionally good five goes without saying, but the de- feats of Loyola and Bucknell, also good teams, have given it a very optimistic outlook for the remainder of the year. The Brooklyn quint hardly hopes to win both games, although it may. If it breaks even, or plays bang-up basket ball in two close games, win or lose, it should be fairly well satisfied. It seems to stand not quite an even chance against Virginia and just about an _even chance against V. P. 1. Coach Cotton will take two full teams on the trip, with Bus Sheary and Ed White as the two mainstays of the first line-up. Both Sheary and White have been playing brilliant bas- ket ball and the performances of the former in the last two or three games | i, stand out among the best by C. U. basketers of all time. UT at Catholic University tonight | Coach Eddie Lafond’s boxers are scheduled to hold sway in the big gymnasium, with the University of Miami mitt-pushers as their enemies for the evening. Lafond seems to feel that his men have at least an even chance to win, although they may break out against a lot stronger competition than ordi- narily might be looked for. The bouts will begin at 8 o'clock. ASHINGTON COLLEGE, ahout as hard an opponent as Maryland meets in basket ball, is due at College Park tomorrow night, with probably a large group of students of that institution coming along with the team. Usually a number of Eastern Shoremen, in addition to the students, make the journey and give their rep- resentatives almost as strong support in the rooting line as Maryland gets. It is doubtful if there is another small college in the country that con- sistently has better basket ball teams than Washington College. Over there the students simply have what might be termed basket ball morale. Last year Washington College whin- ped Maryland by one point when it did not seem to be nearly as good a team. Then, too, the Eastern Shere school has one of the best coaches in the country in the person of Tom Kibler. For years Kibler has been director of athletics and head coach of three sports, and done & good job in all, but ke is particularly adept in turning out strong court squads. He knows how to tcach basket ball and never has a weak ive. Kibler formerly was physical director and basket ball coach at Ohio State and Lehigh and enjoyed real success at both universities. Washington College would never be able to hold him were it not that his home is in Chestertown and his family been engaged in bugi- ness there for a long while. ¢*IP" MILLER, Navy foot ball coach, gave a vigorous defense of the game last night at the annual banquet of the University of Maryland Interfraternity Council. Miller spoke at considerable length, and held his hear- ers close with his unusual presentation of the place foot ball holds in Ameri- can College life. One point brought out by him in striking fashion was: “Down at the Naval Academy we be- lieve that foot ball is a kind of a prov- ing ground, where the real test is given to determine whether or not the boy has profited from»what he has been taught. It is the corrected essay of the English department, the final exams in mathematics, the one great way of de- termining whether or not the boy measures up to be the man.” EORGETOWN probably played its smoothest basket ball of the year in defeating a good West Virginia :ga;l’]i last night at Tech High gym, 45 ‘The Hoyas were not perturbed by the fact that the Mountaineers gained a 10-to-3 lead early in the battle and kept on playing steady basket ball. solving the visitors' quick breaking tactics to check their scoring, and counting heavily themselves to lead 19 to 16 at halftime. The winners simply marched away from their rivals in the last period. Carolan, Georgetown guard, led both teams in scoring with 16 points. while Connors played a fine game at center for the Hoyas.

MERICAN UNIVERSITY, after nine straight wins, as was more than halfway expected, met its Water- loo last night at Annapolis in its sec- ond contest with St. John’s. The local srhool was against about as hard a proposwion as any school might want to face in playing a team with which it was close to evenly matched in a gymnasium in which all the advantage was the other way. When St. John's appeared in the A. U. gym a while back the local school won by only two points, and it was felt that that superiority was not sufficient to offset the disadvantages it would suffer by playing at Annapolis. ‘The Methodists were wmpped 27 to 14 in the first setback they have had this season, which should not be held against them very much because they have been going at top gait for a long while against bigger schools. American University's record, despite its defeat of last night, reflects great credit on the players, coaches and uni- versity. Last night's game was even for the first 15 minutes, the score being 9 to 9, but after that the Johnnies forged to the front and gradually increased their margin.
