tleholders and present leaders for the
top position this season. opposes the
lilac,and White courtmen at seven
o'clock.
Led by Captain Hay O'Donovan,
who has been hailed by l'ittsburgh
sports writers as the greatest for
ward b the Steel City district, the
Dukes have proved unbeatable in
eight games thus far this season.
Grove City. Thiel. Westminster.
Waynesburg. Allegheny, John Carroll
(Cleveland). Itucknell and Bethany
have all been outscored by Coach
Chick Davies' crew. Of that group,
however, two team , have squared the
count by winning decisions over the
Blutrmen, John Carroll in an early
season tilt and Waynesburg on :Mon
day night.
Scrappy 'lilt Expected
That Duquesne is out to repeat its
192.4 win over Peon State was evi
denced when the Dukes postponed a .
game with Westminster scheduled for
tonight until a later date thus gaining
an extra day in which to prepare for
the Penn State game.
Coach ile•mann would be doubly
pleased with a decision for his pro
teges tomorrow for he has not forgot
ten the discomfort suffered last year
as he watched his team tally twelve
points while the Dukes were ringing
up thirty-six.
Duquesne is generally regarded as
having a better quintet than last sea

proved. It will be a matter of taking
your pick as fan• as any winners go
