PREPs ARE VICTORIOUS.
Win Good Game From Loyola Col

Yesterday afternoon in Ryans gymna-
Gray preps took the scalp of the goal
tossers representing the Loyola College
of Baltimore in about as good and speedy
a game of basket ball as any one could
wish to see. medium-sized crowd was
in attendance, but the Smallness of
numbers was made up for by the loudness
of their lungs, for at the critical stages
Of the contest there was noise galore
within the re-echoing walls Of the hilltop
gym
rep derived from the fact that they
have beaten the Baltimore Medicos this
season by "a large score. When they
went on the floor for warming-up work
they looked like a husky lot, and there
is no doubt but that the local lads were
little bit discouraged at the sight OF
their heavier rivals But small though
they were, the Props were anxious to
show that their slump Of Wednesday
went In with that fighting spirit for which
all Georgetowners are famous.
Right from the start it looked good for
the Props. and within two minutes
a difficult angle. Their team work was
also running without hitch. and this
served them to good purpose against the
losers, since the Oriole crowd were also
some keen stuff when it came to machine
playing. At the end Of ten minutes the
score stood 10 to 3 in favor of the Blue
and Gray crowd. and when the gong
sounded at the end of the half there were
fourteen points in the Preps' column.
while the Collegians could display. only
four. all of which came from free throws.
In the second session the Props had two
new men in their lineup, while LoyOla
had one. This period was more exciting
than the previous one and the two teams
seemed more closely matched AS the
fight became fiercer the playing also got
a little rougher, but nothing In the way
of dirty work was displayed by either
bunch. II the victory had been decided on
this half Loyolas would have won. for
they got nine points to the Preps' eight.
The Preps' lead Of the first half. how
ever, still gave them a big margin. so
that the game ended with the Georgetown
quint winners by the score of ~ to IL.
The feature of this part OF the battle
was an overhead throw to a basket of
Briscoe's. which he got on from difficult
angle and out of a scrimmaging bunch.
AS for the whole game both sides
showed up well as teams, but the Props
had it on the visitors when 1t came to
shooting goals from the floor. If the
Baltimoreans had made successful use
of all the chances they had to score
they would probably have been the con-
ouerors instead of the conquered. Indi-
viduaIly Wieser played the best game,
with Capt. Brennan a good second. Lora.
who went in for the last half. showed
by his work that he Is worthy of promo
tion to the regulars. Capt Briscoe Of the
Loyola quint was their brightest twinkler
as far as defensive work Is concerned,
but great credit must be given to Cook,
who scored five goals from fouls and two
from the field, thereby making nine of
the thirteen points which belonged to
his team.

Pennsy Bars Out Sheppard.

PHILADELPHIA. December 12.-The
University of Pennsylvania authorities
are settling some old scores with Melvin
Sheppard. the champion middle distance
runner. Last winter Sheppard competed
in two match races against Guy Haskins.
the Pennsylvania college crack. One of
these races resulted in slugging bee. for
which Haskins was upheld by the Off
cials Of the eastern division of the A. A.
L.. while Sheppard was set down for his
actions in the matter. 4 short time
later the ban was raised in order that
Sheppard could compete at big meet
here. This was also match race, with
Charley Bacon of Brooklyn added as a
starter Sheppard showed that he had
not forgotten his grievance against Has
kins by pocketing that runner and allow
ing Bacon to win the race. 1t is proba-
BILE that either Sheppard or Haskins could
have beaten Bacon at that time.
At this late hour the old feud again
comes to light through the action of the
university authorities In refusing Shep-
pard the use of Franklin Field for train

And now that things look good for the
progress of wrestling. Mr.. Joyce is going
to initiate another branch Of sport. Tbs

wishes to do is to teach them the scien-
tific points Of the game. To start with
he will have Kid Sullivan and Danny
O'Brien go on for q couple of exhibition
rounds at the gym meet next Friday.
Both these boxers are we'll known in

the show battle more interesting is the
fact that Sullivan and O'Brien are both
of the opinion that each is himself tho
better man, and whenever they come to-
gether they usually try to show the spec
tators that they are both right. with the
result that some pretty stin blows A"e
exchanged.
The students at Georgetown have
shown that they are interested in the
sports mentioned for some time past. and
since the announcement of the exhibition
bouts have been made they have begun
to take things seriously. What the out
