WILLIAM AND MARY
OUINT SHANPED BY
GEORGETOWN FIVE
Puzzling Passes OutWit
inexperienced Men
From Virginia.

GeorgetOwn's basketball team last
night at the Carroll Institute gymnasi-
UNI Overwhelmingly defeated the quirr
from William and Mary College e TO s.
to 8.
At no time did the visitors have an
opportunity. for the locals speedily took
comm.lnd and easily went TO the front.
The puzzhng passing. the fast work
OF the forwards, the agility OF the
team as a whole, and the covering up
when William and Mary had the ball
completely mystifed the visitors The
team was outcIassed by the local
lads, who seemed everywhere at
the right time William and Mary
would try to cover up, and the George
town backs would get the ball away
with one hand just in time 10 elUde
tSe oncoming visitors.
William and Mary deserved much
credit for playing the game after the
grueIing contest the previous night
with the University OF Virginia at
Charlottesville, in which the unIver-
sity team defeated them BY "a to %.
Several of their men were in bad shape,
and Georgetown had a big advantage
in condition and endurance.
Ahead in First.
Georgetown wound up the first ses-
sion with the score 20 to 4 One change
w made by Joyce. and William Rice.

a.
half was q big help 10 the Blue ana
Gray, and Prof Joyce did not want TO
take any chances with him for the con-
test tor next Saturday night at Conven-
ton Hall with Fordham College.
Georgetown used some fast throws
and time after time in consequence OF
these fast throws the visitors wcro
not on the watch and left the man with
the ball uncovered. Georgetown let up
II. the second half and did not display
the same form as in the first session
Croghan, who had all the free throws,
did not land one in the basket. The
Orange and Blue wearers did not get a
field goal until the second half, when
Hall took the throw from DOwney and
landed the ball in the basket before
he was looked after Roach, who sub
stituted for Goth, left forward, made
the second goal.
Boundary Bothered Visitors.
The boundary line bothered the VIII
liam and Mary team. and judging from
their work last night, the men were
not accustomed TO playing the game
under such conditions. Georgetown was
at home. most Of the men on the team
being familiar with the hall and baskets.
Rice and George Collifiower were the
stellar attractions. their work being
clean and effective. The rest Of the
team backed them I'D in good shape.
Georgetown used a dribble with much
success. which consisted in giving the
ball one bound and then the same man
who had started the ball shooting it into
the basket. Under the rules the man
who dribbles the ball cannot shoot for
the goal unless the ball is first thrown
10 some one else.
