from the best team there or from III
best picked team, and such set OF game

fering to play for smaller guarantee and
| Captain Edwards has made proposition
will give local followers of the sport a
chance to see one OF the best teams in
the country. With the limited space for
spectators in the Guards gym it would
hardly pay to give large guarantee.
Captain Moriarty is still limping with
disabled foot, which shows improve
ment and keeps him out of the game. He
hopes to be in shape to play in the game
at Cumberland
The game which the first and second
teams played last Friday was a splendid
exhibition Of the sport. Captain Nash eX
poets to take his reserves to Alexandria

Company A, First Battalion Athletes.
The basketball team representing Com
pany A. First Battalion, has made quite
a reputation for itself this its first sea-
son in the game. 1t is a member of the
National Basketball League. which plays
all its games in the Infantry armory. II
put up a fast fame right from the start
and took leading position. Several of
the team were in the game last year, but
they had little getting together in team
work. which latter accounts for the good
showing.
The team is out for the championship
and hopes to depose the Infantry team,
the champion or last season.
The team is made up of these PLAYERS:
Chambers. captain; De Vantier, OLA
gan, Grant, O'Brien. and Waple. Hadley

Guards indoor meet.
National Guard Athletics.
So much interest is being shown in the
indoor track and field games to be given
by the National Guard Athletic Associa-
tion April Is that it is believed this
will be the largest affair ever given un-
der these auspices. The request for en-
try blanks is unusually large and the
fields in the running events especially
will be so large that preliminary heats
will be necessary and these will be run
the evening before.
Entries close positively on April 10,
and this will give time to properly han
dicap and otherwise handle the entries
The tickets of admission will be issued
about April l. The management has been
requested to add relay race for high
schools. and this may be done.
Another feature will be the relay race
between the local and Baltimore Y NJ |
c. A. teams.
Prof. Horan is very busy coaching the |
Guardsmen for the games, and fifty to /
sixty is the usual attendance on class /
nights. He is developing some very clev- |
er performers.
One of the strong relay teams of the |
card will be that representing the First |
Battalion. and will consist of Charles
Kerr. who won the ninth heat in the 80 /
yards dash in the recent Georgetown |
games and came third in the half mile |
handicap upon the same occasion; Gould /
is the second man. He is we'll known as
one Of the y NJ. C. a. runners with whom
he trained for several events: Callow and
Mcmahon round out the team Both the
latter are well-known middle distance
runners and should make a good show
ing with the team. These runners will
also enter in the 50-yard dash and half
mile run and in the potato race.
