In Fierce Basket Ball Battle
Georgetown Wins by
70 to II.

GieOrsetown's basket ball team managed
TO beat Y. NJ. c. A. 2S to 81 last night in
game that was about as rough as 1t
could be under the rules. Both sides went
after the ball with earnestness that re-
suited in thEobbing hearts and scratched
skins. If Georgetown had been luckfer
and If all the balls which just balanced
on the edge OF the metal of the basket
had gone in the score might have been
up in the forties for Georgetown.
Y. NJ. c. A. gave the college boys all
they wanted. and the score does not indi-
cate the style of play by any means
Hubbard for the Y. NJ c. A. was ter
ror to Georgetown. and Kelliher, for the
Blue and Gray was the one man that
seemed to have goal tossing all his own
way.
Jones OF y NJ C. A. scored the first
goal of the game very shortly after the
whistle blew Somebody fouled in the
mix-up following. Hubbard tossed a free
try in and Grogan made a splendid throw
to the basket. Y. M. c. a. thus scoring
five points in what seemed almost as
many seconds Then the game began to
get rough and stayed so until the last
second. George Colliflower tossed the

after some desperate struggles all over
the floor A Y NJ. c. A. man got too
earnest and fouled. Kellher tossing free
goal and Jim Colliflower scoring soon
afterward, giving Georgetown an adVan-
tage of points.
kelliher came out of the next play look
ing very much as il a cat had scratched
his eye and a steam roller had gone over
his arm. but he managed TO steal the
bah from the man in front of him ana
-; Il fnY
y. NJ. c. A. did the same trick for his
own team just second later.
By this time the playing was very
rough. although there was no bad blood
shown between the teams. Spills were
frequent, and time was taken out once or
twice to recover breath that had flown
from the body temporarily after head
had butted a stomach. Kelliher began to
be the star of the evening about this
time. He shot a free toss for George
town, after which there was a long argu-
ment between all the officials and the
teams 1t had no effect on kelliher, how
ever, for lie made a great catch as soon
as play was resumed and made the score
IL to in favor of Georgetown. Hubbard
Immediately after made splendid catch
of ball thrown the full length Of the
gymnasium and brought the score to II
to just as the gong sounded for the
first half.

ond half, although Georgetown had plenty
of chance at the basket. Y. NJ, c. A.

even things, and after three tries Hub

town hanging on him. Kelliher made two
goals in quick succession after that A
foul occurred in the miX-up following and
Y. NJ. c. A. got the benefit of free toss.

the game and had to retire for few sec
onds, but forgot his woes when kellher
tossed another goal. bringing the score to
Georgetown, IS; Y. NJ. c. A, H. The
game grew tremendously fast after that,
the ball flashing from one end of the
gymnasium to the other with great speed.

worth and managed to demoraliZe the col
lege boys for time. getting a very clever
score In bit of rough play Schlosser
scored for Georgetown Hubbard fouled,
but Georgetown failed the try at goal.
