Corcornn Cadet Corps.

What passed through the minds of the
Corcoran Cadet Corps basketball players
after suffering defeat at the hands of the
Y. NJ. C. A. team last Wednesday is. of
course, impossible to relate. If the
thoughts of the seven players were given
expression the mass would make inter-
estlng reading.
But this is neither here nor there. the
fact remains that the clever team, after
running UP against many snags this seas on,
was defeated by the team which up TO this
occasion had not Won a game in the lcng
series scheduled. What will Captain RoE-
land do now? He has already shaken III
his lineup and had hopes of having at last
winning combination, but, alack, and
alas.
The team went TO Alexandria last Tues
day and defeated the infantry team OF that
city. The team has but one more regular
game scheduled. and that with the lo,al
Light infantry, and if the boys want to re-
deem themselves they must be up and de-
ing. and especially practice ''goaling.
Eastern Athletic Club.
The Eastern Athletic Club basketball
team has gradually cut down games sched-
uled for it in the league series until now
IL has but one more regular game to play.
and that is with the Y. NJ C. A.. and Is
scheduled for March 10. but it may be ad
yanced.
Last Saturday with a crippled team it
defeated the fastfying Central High
School seven by the score OF Il to g. To
win from these Centrals is no easy task,
as during the past month they have shown
such marked improvement, and played
such fast game. that no team in the
league has license to anticipate victory
over them.
Ellis, Dunn, and Thompson are keeping
up their good ail-around playing and NAV
be relied upon at all times to be in shape
and TO do their level best
Raab came back into the game last week
and at home goaf' acquitted himself as
in former years. He is naturally good
player. Boyd, Hughes, and Motif are a
clever trio of backs
Central High School Team.
Even If they are not all members of the
Central High School Association, and
it is said they are not, the basketball
players representing it are a clever lot
and even if they have not a string of vic
tories to show for their efforts this season
they have at all times made it uphill work
for their opponents to win a game from
them
In Devlin. Sagrario, and Schreiner they
have as gingery a set of forwards as
play in the league today.
Devlin is especially clever. and no play
is too fast and no .scrimmage too hot for
him. He is in all of them. Burbank fills
satisfactorily the trying position of home
goal and plays a good defence game.
The team has completed its series of the
league games scheduled.
Georgetown varsity Athletes.
The athletic association of Georgetown
University will be represented at the re-
lay carnival to be held at Philadelphia on
April 2s by the University OF Pennsylvania
by two sprinters, two runners. and the re-
lay team, the champion college team of the
East
Especial effort will be made by Trainer
Foley to bring the team to the meet in as
rear perfect condition as possible for all

mile relay race, with which goes the cham
pionship of the country Arrayed against

the big teams from the Universities OF Cal
ifornia ard Chicago, said to be very fast,
and they must be exceptionally fast. else
why would they come so far to get into this
mile relay?
Much to the regret Of all the student
body, Phil King finds it impossible, on ac-
count OF his engagement by Wisconsin
University, to coach the baseball nine this
season. The splendid showing made by the
team last season under his direction will
not soon be forgotten hereabouts.
Jerome Bradley. Princeton. '9s, has been
engaged as coach this season. and If he is
as successful with Georgetown as he was
with his own team two years ago, the
locals will again have a winner.
Manager Wolfe announces that he has
completed his schedule, which includes
eighteen home games and fourteen out of
town. o. p. SCHMIDT.
