TWO GAMES TOMORROW.
Ryan Gym to Be Scene of Double.
Header in Basket Ball.

Header in Basket Ball.
Tomorrow morning in Ryan gymnasium,
Georgetown College, the Fendall Cadets
of this city and the Blue and Gray Props
will clash in game Of basket ball. Both
teams have done exceedingly we'll SO far
this year and the battle should be a
warm one.
Capt. Brennan of the Props announces
that his lineup will be the same as was
to have gone in against Business High
Wednesday. Murphy will play center
Loehl and Sullivan forwards, Brennan
and Kerwip guards.
On account of the doubt which exists
as to which is the better quint, the sOphO-
mores or seniors, a match has been ar
ranged between these two fives, which
promises to be a peach. 1t will be re-
membered that in the rating of the inter-
class games the Sophs were put above
the upper classmen on comparative scores.
But as this method does not seem to sat-
isfy the cap-and-gown men a game will
be played tomorrow which will decide who
should get the consolation honors for
good and all.
as they had in the championship series.
Capt. Munhall of the 1909 crowd will play
center, with DAILY and Golden in the for
ward field and Lynch and Mullins watch
ing the goal. For the Sophs, Capt Ashe
will do one forward trick and Joliat the
other. Reilly will be in the center ring,
while Pierce and Bill Fitzgerald will see
that no goals are shot by their opponents.
Prof. Joyce will referee.
Besides the two basket ball games there
will be couple of wrestling bouts, crew
and track practice. With all these diff
ferent things on the cards for one fore
noon there is no doubt that the stu
dents on the hill will be kept pretty busy.

JOHNSON WANTS TO
MEET jim JEFFRIES

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, February g.
Jim Jeffries is not to find it such easy
sailing going over the country in his
vaudeville act unless he shows his hand.
Up to the present time Jim has not de-
clared himself as being a possible OPP
ponent Of Jack Johnson. The public has
been led to believe that Jim was taking
to the stage to get bit of soft money
while training for his prospective bout
with Jack Johnson for the heavyweight
championship of the world.
Through the instrumentality of Jim
Coffroth, the local fight promoter, Jack
Johnson has been offered twelve
week theatrical engagement at the
prince1y sum of 81 500 per week, with the
added proviso that he will have his eX-
penses and those of his manager, Sam
Fitzpatrick, paid to this country. John
son not only accepted the offer, but has
cabled challenge to Jeffries. Johnson
further says that he will cancel his match
with Sam Langford in London to get the
chance at JenrieS
This move on the part of johnson and
his manager has placed Jeffries on the
defensive. He can no longer go around
ing the sport followers in the dark as to
his future intentions. The challenge from
Johnson came as a shock to Jeff, and
when an effort was made to quiz him on
his position he refused to commit himself.
No doubt he Is sparring for time, but as
Johnson and his manager will leave Aus
tra1ia February II JEFF will have to make
up his mind in a hurry or his appearance
on the road will be a frost.

"BAT" HURLEY WHIPS
"CHARLEY" GRIFFIN

NEW YORK, February Glow Char
ley" Griffin, an Australian featherweight,
managed to last the entire ten rounds with
Battling" Hurley of Passaic, N. j., after
being f1oored for the count four times
during the third and fourth sessions was
a complete mystery to the members Of
the National Athletic Club, where the
bout took place last night. Not only did
Griffin surprise the spectators 10y escaping
the knockout, but, in addition to that, he
actually carried the fighting to his oppo-
nent in the succeeding rounds, exchang-
ing blow for blow with his American
rival.
1t was a whirlwind battle from start to
finish. No time was wasted in sparring
or In retreating around the ring. Both
men were of the aggressive type of box
ers, who keep boring in and rushing con-
tinually, swinging their arms necessarily,
without much regard as to where the
blows landed. Griffin was particularly
guilty Of this style Of careless fighting,
and it was undoubtedly this fact which
almost proved his undoing early in the
contest.
The men started at such a fast pace
that it was the general opinion Of the
members that the bout would terminate
before the end of the tenth round. In
the third session it looked as though their
Delle1 would be Verlfed, Tor Hurley
caught Griffin terrible swing flush on
the point of the jaw. sending the antipo-
dean to the canvas with thud.
In falling Griffin's head collided with
one of the posts, and as the boxer rolled
over CO Sis back many of the spectators.
thinking the bout was over, started to
leave the arena. But Griffin suddenly
rose to one knee, and at the count of nine
was on his feet. Griffin again took the
count before the round was over, but he
weathered the storm, although he fairly
reeled to his corner.
The fourth round was a repetition of the
previous one, Griffin hitting the canvas
twice, but again he managed to prevent a
knockout.
When the fifth round started Griffin
set the spectators in an uproar by wading
into Hurley, forcing the Passaic lad to
cover up to escape punishment. Hurley
came out of the melee with q badly swol-
len eye while his lips and nose were cut
Thereafter Griffin held his own. al
though he appeared to be weaker than
his opponent. Never for moment, how
ever, did he stop his forcing tactics.
On his showing in the early part Of the
fight Hurley easily earned the decision,
had one been given. Griffin wasted
great deal of his strength swinging wildly
without connecting with a vital spot.
Hurley was the cooler of the two, saving
his strength by timing his blows well.
Fifteen hundred persons witnessed the
contest.

TWENTY MEN REPORT.
Good Squad Out for Georgetown
Prep Crew.

Today was the first time out for the
Blue and Gray oarsmen, and Capt. Gray
was more than pleased with the number
Of candidates that reported. Twenty
youngsters were on hand at the stroke
of one, and were given about five minutes
each on the machines. They were then
sent upstairs with Instructions to take
four or five laps around the running
track. The work mapped out for the
first time was, indeed. little strenuous,
but the leader of the colts Is of the idea
that the only way to develop a winning
eight is to make the men plug from the
start.
In the first eight today there were
three veterans. Ryan, himself, stroked,
and showed by his steady motion that he
had lost none of his skill In pace-setting
Brady, who rowed 3 last spring, was pro-
NOTED to No. Z, and McQuail was in at
F'raunheim. who is also an experience
lad. Mclaughlin of the st. Paul Boat
Club found it little difficult to get in
with the Georgetown stroke. but it is
thought that time will bring him around.
LAWYER Is another one on whom a great
deal Is counted on account of his beef
The rest of the squad was made I'D of
kerwin, Connolly. D. Daley. Larkin. l..
Graham, A. Graham. Rodriguez Murphy.
w. Mclaughlin, O'Brien, Stanton, Bail
largeon and Sullivan. The average
weight of the bunch is 1877 pounds The
average height is feet 10h inches and
the average age is nineteen years.
Two midgets were also out for the cox
SWANS seat. Kelly. who steered last
years props to victory, and new one
Of by the name Of Duke. The latter has
had considerable experience In New
England, having had charge of the rud-
der on two different crews. the Worces-
ter High and the Lakeside Boat Club
No definite word has been received
from Coach Vail as to when he will ar
rive. His contract calls for him to be
present by March 1, but it was thought
that he might get here sooner In order
to gain so much more advantage from
the machine work.
Manager O'Connor has already started
on his plans for the year. OF course, the
American Henley, May %, will be the big
event. but the new director intends to get
on couple of practice races before then.
One Of these will probably be with the
Junior Potomacs. and the other with an
Old Dominion eight. 1t Is to be regretted
that Tech Is not to have a crew, for a
dual regatta on the Potomac between the
two rivals schools would be one of the
big events of the scholastic year.

wAsHINGToN-LEE TONIGHT.
Georgetown Scheduled to Meet Old
Rivals in Basket Ball.

Odd Fellows Hall will this evening be
the scene of battle between the quints
of Georgetown and Washington and Lee.
1t has always been the case when these
two rivals have met that the encounter
ended with very little advantage on either
side This has been true In even excep-
tional cases, and was never borne out
to better advantage than when the Lex
ington foot ball team took IL to IL VIC
tory from the hilltoppers.
With the memory of this defeat still in
their minds the Blue and Gray students
are anxious to see thir goal tossers get
vengeance on the invaders, and, in order
that they may succeed the more, a large
turnout Of roOters will be In evidence.
AS to the quint. 1t is far from being In
the best condition. Capt. Rices shoulder
was again given banging on Wednes-
day night. and. although he will hold
down his old position. 1t is hardly prob
able that he will be able to play as good
a game as he usually does.
The other four men are in excellent
shape physically. but. as a team, they
do not work together quite as we'll as
they should. Whether this is due to re-
peated changes In the lineup or simply
to slump is hard to say. They will
they did against Columbia, the two Colli-
flowers playing the guards and Schlosser
and GOggin holding down the forwards.
The visiting contingent arrived In this
city this morning and has made its head
quarters at the Ebbitt House. Having a
large following In Washington. they, too
will be backed up In their endeavors for
victory by quite a large bunch of sup
porters. In two years. this team has
suffered but one defeat. and that one
came last Tuesday night. when Virginia
trimmed it. But this hardly detracts
from the visitors standing against
Georgetown, since in a previous contest
they easily lowered the colors of the
Charlottesville lads, who. In turn, showed
unusual ability in the line Of goal-tossing
against the Blue and Gray crowd last
Saturday night.
Capt Smart of the Lexingtonians an
nounced that his lineup remains unchang-
ed. Himself and Glasgow will be in the
defending positions, Boyd and Malley will
