FRESHIEs DID WELL.
Played Hard in Losing Game
Against Blue and Gray Varsity.

That there are a number OF capable
goal tossers ready to fill the shoes of
the retiring members Of the Blue and
Gray basket ball quint next year was
demonstrated yesterday morning. when
the Freshman quint gamely battled
against heavy odds in an exciting en-
counter with the Georgetown regulars.
The one-sidedness of the final score can
not be accurately taken as criterion OF
comparison between the class five and
its more experienced adversaries. This
is admitted by Capt. Rice's men without
the least hesitation. Give the colts a
month Of training and just tribe more
practice at shooting goals and they should
be we'll prepared to hold their own IN
pretty fast company.
AS 1T was, the five gritty youngsters.
two of whom are doing stunts at the IN
door game for the first time and the other
three being wholly out OF condition,
fought like tigers. The first half opened
with vim seldom seen in a practice con-
test, which was kept up for more than
ten minutes. During this space of time
the varsity was able to ring only two
goals. while the f1rst-year bunch had
senough good luck to get one. To say
that the veterans Of years were surprised
at the strong front put up by their
youthful opponents would be putting 1t
easily. They were more than surprised
they were cOnfounded.
But as time crept on the strain of the
lightning work which was being INDUCED
in began to tell on the youngsters. with
the result that the almost invincibe de-
Tense which the 1912 bunch had put UP
at the start was broken so badly that
when the intermission arrived the big
team was in the lead by thirteen points.
Again in the second half, after being
benefited by a ten-minute rest, Capt
Cogan and his teammates stuck to the
varsity like glue, until the putting OF
their unframed wind and the wabbling OF
their uncared-for limbs made them easy
for Joyce's best. The final score was AZ
to 5, In favor of the varsity.
Munhall was in the center ring for the
winners In place of Rice during the open
ing period the speedy captain going In
for the last half. In the middle of the
second session an injury to George Col
lif1ower compelled his withdrawal. Pierce
was substituted. While he was in G. Col
liflower divided the limelight with Schlos-
ser. Goggin was not much In evidence
some phenomenal shooting before thu
end. Rces dribbling and ]. Collifiower's
guarding attracted the attention of the
half hundred present.
For the Freshies, Lamey gets first hon.
ors, since he was responsible for all OF
the five points credited to his team. Wy
mard showed by his steady hAadwork and
quick passing that with another years
experience he will be just the man fol
center on the varsity. Billy Sitterding
Jack Kingsley and Bill Cogan, trio OF
diminutive aspirants for the big quint
did u great deal by their steady playing
to boost their regulations in the eyes OF
he coach.
Despite the fact that the game was al
no time in doubt after the first ten min
utes it was nevertheless interesting tc
watch at all times. Especially was this
so in the last two minutes of each half
when the plebes put all they had into
their work and veritably pushed the var
sity to the last ditch. At other time:
Capt. Rice would get his gang going or
teamwork, which they manipulated te
great perfection. much to the confusion
game.
