CITY BASKET BALL NOTES,

The George Washington University bas-
ket ball coach was present at the U and
/ Fraternity-Corcoran game. Wonder II
some Of the players on this years teams
fall!
The Rev. Jenkin Davies of London, Eng
land. who is making a trip around the
world, at the Center Market Armory
Wednesday and saw the Corcorans and
U and 1 Fraternity play. 1t was the
first basket ball game that Mr.. Davies had
ever witnessed and he seemed to enjoy the
contest very much.
Long shots were responsible for the de-
feat of the I'd Regiment team by the Car
roll Institute five Thursday evening
The sportsmanlike conduct of the Carroll
Institute and I'd Regiment teams was a
topic for much favorable comment about
town last week. 1t is seldom that such
clean sport is witnessed in game for
blood.
Although not quite SO large as some of
the crowds that turn out to witness games
at the Y. M. c. A. Saturday nights the
attendance at the big game Thursday was
enthusiasm what it lacked in numbers
The next big game is between Y. NJ C. A.
and I'd Regiment at Center Market Armory
Wednesday.
The U and I players ascribe their de-
feat by the Corcorans to lack of practice.
Rice of the Corcorans has been doing
some wonderful work lately.
By defeating the Peck team the Sham
rocks got rid of all doubts as to which
of these two teams would finish last in the
pennant race
Downey, center for Carroll Institute,
played Schlosser of the ID Regiment to a
standstill in the game Thursday 1t takes
good man to do it, and they are scarce
AS it was, however, Schlosser did the best
work for his side, despite Downey's play
ing.
The Carroll Institute five have been de-
feated but once in three years in their own
hall. They suffered defeat at the hands
of the Ordways last year.
The Brooklyn Y. M. c. A. basket ball
club is soon to visit this city to play a
packed team composed of players from
the I'd Regiment and Corcoran fves
After Thursdays game, players on both
teams kicked on the work of the referee
Mr.. Pimper did as well any referee in
town could have done, inasmuch as he re-
fereed the game the best he knew how"
and according to the spectators view
refereed it exactly as it should have been
refereed. He deserves much credit for
his work, which Is impartial and generally
accurate.
Kicking spoils many good game Play
ers should know that playing the game
and referring 1t are as different as tea
and coffee.
The first three teams are now punched
for first position, Y. M. c. A. and Carroll
Institute each having won eight and lost
one, and I'd Regiment having won five and
lost one. The Ice will be broken Wednes-
day, when the Y. M. c. A. and I'd Regiment
teams meet.
Crogans great goal throwing was the
feature of the Carroll teams playing Thurs
day, and he will probably be seen in po-
sition on the all-amateur team of Wash.
ington.
The U. and I Fraternity has organized
roller polo team.
Scroggins of the I'd Regiment, who re-
ieved White at right back In the game at
Carroll Hall last week, made one of the
finest shots ever witnessed at the 10th
street hall when he put the ball In the
basket from the far end of the hall. 1t
was certainly a skillful shot, one of the 90
TO 1 kind, and had he missed he would
