Along with the news Of s. W. Whit
ing's election to the captaincy Of the

which has just completed such a sue
cessful year, comes the announcement
that Wilhelm, College 1890, has been

Mr.. Wilhelm was elected to the man
agement this season. but through stress
of work was forced to abandon the job
early in the year. and his authority
was delegated TO Assistant Manager
Woods. who completed the rest of the
season as manager. The election for
next season shows the mems appreci-
alton of his good work in starting the
basketball movement and getting things
Wen under way.
The year Just finished was successful
from ali standpoints. The team for a
first year production was q remarkably
strong one, and lost but two games
one to GEORGETOWN and one to Virginia.
Virginia was defeated in turn in the
local gymnasium, and the Blue and
Gray colors were lowered for the first
time by q Bum and Blue varsity team
the Hatchetites winning the final game
of the series In decisive fashion. The
team also took a Southern trip. on
which they were victorious in every con-
tesr.
Next years outfit promises to be as
strong or stronger than this year
team, as all the old men are expected
back. and the impetus which basket
ball has received from such a remark

Divided Into Glasses.

Instead Of pitting weak teams against
the stronger ones, as was done this sea-
son, the league will be divided into TWO
classes-class A. to be composed Of the
teams that finished in the first division
this year, and class B. OF the remaining
teams. OF course, this viii draw better,
and It win give the weaker Organiza-
tons a more equal chance.
Toward the end Of the season the
leaders of the two classes viii play for
the championship Of the league. II the
schedule can be arranged the teams Of
each class wiz play their games on the
same night and in the same hall By
doing this a large crowd would result,
because of the double-header, and all
the clubs concerned would be benefited
financially. Mr.. N T. Morley. the sec
rotary ard official scorer o. the league,
gave out last night the official standing
of the teams.

but bright prospects, The whole OF his

All-Washington Team.
Some discussion has been going on as
to having a selection of two teams from
the best material in the league and ar
ranging a game. 1t is also desired that
a team be picked 10 play Baltimore
champions. As this league is the big
gest in the city and as the best players
are in It, the selection would be a rep
ressntative Washington amateur
team And the affair with Baltimore
would become an inter-city match. This
would no doubt raise very much inter
est ANY one that has had any expe-
rience whatever in basketball can ape
preciate the difficulty in making this Sc
lection by any one man. So. in order 10
pick TIE best team. the only possible
way was TO get the selections of the
pick from their selections. This was
done, and with the satisfaction Of get

was thought best not to make any dis

so the teams are:
