SEE THESE SMART NEW Pitt~burgh's Panthers, strong eastern quintet, will visit the Wildcats' floor for the second game of the Northwestern seasoi1 Saturday night. A stiti combat for the new Purple machine is on slate, for Pittsburgh has a reputation for develop}ng some of the finest teams in the country and has a veteran quintet to pit against the Wildcats. They came out of the east two years ago when they won national honors and beat Northwestern, but last year they succumbed 30 to 2-J. Charles Hyatt, a great forward, will lead the team with Les Cohen at center, Ed Baker at guard, Paul Zebruss at forward and Al Wroblcskie at guard. The last mentioned, he of the twisting monicker, is a brother of the Stanley who hdpcd beat Northwestern tw o years ago. The Panthers are playing Indiana Friday night. Need More to Beat Easterners The Purple chalked up one victory, a 30-to-13 win Monday over the Cornell college of Iowa, but will have to put up a much more impressive front to beat these easterners. Walter started the season brilliantly despite his knee injury, sinking eight baskets and a free throw and leading the team offensively. Bert Riel played a fine game at forward while he was in. Of the newcomers whom Coach Lonborg gave their first college try, Lockhart, guard, and McCarnes looked the best, and should develop with more experience. These men, with Bergherm and Mundy, veterans, are the nucleus of this year's team. Whalen showed up as a capable rese rve man who has an excellent eye for the hoop despite his shortness.

Graduation did not deprive Coach Tom Robinson of many of his stars, and the new team appears to be the strongest ever assemoled at Northwestern. AI Schwartz, national collegiate champion in the . 40, 100 and 4-JOyard free style events, captains the team. Dick Hinch, conference champion in the 160-yard backstroke, and Peterson, conference title holder in the 220-yard breast stroke, are others of this team of champions. These three hold the world championship in the medley relay and with Covode as the fourth man ·are world's champions in the 160-yard relay. A newcomer to the ranks is Robert Howlett who is claimed to be faster in the breaststroke than Peterson. In addition Tom has Eddie Lennox, breaststroker, Covodc, free style artist, and Jimmie O'Keefe, fancy diver, to garner extra points. Bill Wilson, Vaughn Hardy, Bill Tracey and Aikin are Evanston boys on the team. Czechoslovakian Music and Food at Art Center Czechoslovakian music and refreshments, a talk about the art of that interesting country, and the presence o! a group of its natives well known in and about Chicago, will make interesting the tea which will be held at the Art center in the foundation floor of the Evanston public library Sunday from 5 to 7, a compliment to the exhibition of native art now hanging there. Dr. Smetanka, Czechoslovakian consul to Chicago, Ladislav Urban, assistant consul, and their wives, will be among the guests of honor.
