Ending Beautiful.
For game which in it's first stages
was extremely slow the ending was
beautiful. AS each period was added the
players on both teams fought with more
herceness, and as a result the excitement
among the spectators increased CORE
spondingly. No fouls whatever were
committed in the last fifteen minutes OF
play and the absence of these was greatly
responsible for the increased speed of the
battle. A great many offenses however,
marred the regular ha YES, and as re-
suit Of four personal fouls being called

losers, was forced to give way to DAILY

The exhibition was the first to be given
here this year under the new intercol-
legiate rules. and because of this was
closely watched by many old PLAY ers of
the District. The new code provides
for two officials and also distinguishes
between personal and technical fouls. As
result the scoring is made very COM
plicated and much time is wasted in or

tally keepers how to mark the offenses
Teamwork Lacking.
Both teams were weak at negotiating
goals and many excellent chances for
obtaining two pointers were lost as q re-
suit. The teamwork was also poor,
Georgetown being timid about making
having a tendency to play individual
ball. Shourholtz and Leslie played ex-
cellently for the visitors and Schlosser
and Martin worked the best for the
locals. Heiskell, the ex-prep star, who
payed his first game in varsity company,
also distinguished himself by making a
difficult score in the second extra period.
thus causing another tie.
