Middies Were Stronger.

Coach Lush of the Aiddies substituted
Bischon for Hill, while the visitors con-
tinued their lineup without alteration.
For three minutes the play was az fierce
as ever seen here, neither side seeming
able to get through the consistent guard
ing of the other. At last the monotony
OF no scoring was relieved by George
ColifloWer, who slipped by his man and
placed the ball I'm the iron hoop as though
laying IT there. A moment later he was
wriggling on the floor as the result OF
an accidental blow in the solar plexus.
When he was again on his feet he made
another one of his slippery losses with
such success that Georgetown again got
the lead. The Navy rooters here went
wild with fear and as an answer to their
cheers Douglas tied the score with an
easy goal only to see his work undone
by George CollifloWer, who made another
two-pointer, this time from difficult
angle.
Rice followed with successful toss.
which was balanced by Wenzell. and tho
middle of the half saw the visitors Ill
the lead by a margin of two taliies. This
advantage was soon overcome by BiSchoh
and Wenzell. each Of whom followed
with another basket, which gave the
Navy a slight advantage.

their endeavors were in vain, and in the
hope that q slight rest would allow them

When play was again resumed Schlosser
tied the score by ending a long drtbble
with a basket. This seemed to be the
signal for the end. however, and min
ute later the Middies were scoring almost
at will. Wills and Douglas negotiated the
ring in quick succession, and 1t Is hkely
