ROLLER POLO TO Be
DOOMED THIS WINTER
Two Leagues Forming, One
Local and the Other
Intercity.

Washington enthusiasts will have am
pie opportunity to witness games of roller
polo this winter. Unless present plans
miscarry, the indoor winter sport, which
is practically new to this city, will be the
cause of the formation of two local
leagues and the membership Of this city
in a five-team intercity league.
The intercity league, which now is
practically an accomplished fact, will
comprise teams from Washington. Balti-
more, Wilmington, Philadelphia and prob
ably Bridgeton, n. ]. The local team,
which will be selected and announced
within a few days. will be under the d.
rection Of E. A. Whiting. Mr.. Whiting
has not announced the personnel of his
team as yet. further than to say that he
will play himself and probably his two
sons. 1t is planned to have one game a
week in each city. The schedule has not
been announced.
Plans for a local commercial league, to
be made up of teams from the different
already are afoot. Washington has a
number of crack roller polo players, as
the old commercial league which played
at Convention Hall brought out. 1t is
not thought any difficulty will be encoun-
tered in collecting an aggregation of fast
players.
Georgetown University students and
members OF various public and private
schools expect to get together in the
near future and arrange for five or
six team roller polo league. The George
town students, since the Arcade rink
was used for final finishing off of train
ing before the Virginia foot ball game,
have taken a marked interest in the
possibilities of sport on skates and are
ready to risk their knees and trousers
in a good cause.
So far there has been little practicing
with the polo stick and ball, as the man
agement of the rink has not ce.yed
the nets which will be erected to prevent
the ball leaving the Enclosure. The nets
are expected within the next week, after
which a time for individual and team,
practice probably will be set aside by the
management.

c. j. HAS HEAVY
BASKET BALL SCHEDULE
Manager Fortune Has Ar
ranged Fifteen Games for
Blue and Gray Team.

Manager Fortune Of the Georgetown
basket ball team gave out his schedule
for the coming season last evening. For
the past three weeks the candidates have
been putting in some strenuous hours
OF practice, and it would not be surpris-
ing to see the Hilltoppers carry off the
honors in most Of the coming battles.
Coupled with the material which has
been working out of late. the end Of the
foot ball season will add many recruits
to the ranks Of the prospective candi-
dates as some of the stars on the grid
iron this fall are schooled in the arts
Of the indoor game in no little degree.
AS it is the final tryout of basket ball
at the hilltop, the men conducting the
affairs pertaining to 1t and all lovers OF
the sport are putting forth their best
efforts in the development of the pre-
liminary plans. From all early season re-
ports the team should be up to the
standard set by former Blue and Gray
teams. Coach Joyce the gym instructor
at the university, has put his charges
through all the elements Of the game
and feels that when the final selection
is made he will have likely bunch OF
men.
The new organization under which the
sport will be maintained Is known as
the Georgetown University Basket Ball
Association, whose members may be en-
rolled in any department Of the institu-
ton. By such action the five will have
all the requirements Of varsity team,
only it will not be directly supervised by
the athletic association. But matters per-
tanning to basket ball must first receive
the sanction of the above-named body be-
fore they can finally be acted upon and
passed by the new association.
The first game Of the schedule will be
held in the Ryan gym at the West End
Other games will be announced at a
later date. as Manager Fortune has many
dates pending.
