The Georsetown varsity basketball
t. am can well be proud of the record that
they have made this season, taking into
consideration the fact that when they
started the season the team had only
ono player with enough experience for

with the fact that they went UP against
two of the best guints of the East Co.

Southern trip was undertaken three reg

Hnd this neCeSSitated a change in the
qUint at the last minute
Toward the close of the season the
Georgetown team made one of the most
wonderful spurtS ever witnessed in the
history of the game 1T the Hill Top
university. Starting with a brilliant vic
tory over Virginia, the Georgetown BOYS
won five games in succession. including
the winners Of the Washington CITY
League championship
For the first time in tho history Of the
sport at the Hill Top university the
mitch coveted letter will he given for the

s"cidtion Of tn" university. Eight &c.
Z. B.. letters will be given to the play

C,Lint is finished. The team will undoubt-
ecly hc put under the management Of
the athletic association next season and
then will in all probability be taken up
as permanent sport at the university.
Was Financial Success.
Taking the team from financial point,
the five proved a success in every
respect At the outset it appeared that
the team would disband, but the players
rut up such classy games that it would
have been so great a disappointment to
the loyal fans that Georgetown would
have had a hard time reinstatiing the
g me in the District
As heretofore the games have been
played in the Ryan gymnasium. and as
most of the games were away from
home, the fans did not set much of a
chance to see good collegiate basket
hall. This year the games were played
in the Arcade skating rink. and the man.
ager arranged more games on the home
floor than has ever been known of be-
fore.
The prospects for a team next year are
decidedly bright. with the loss of one
man only, Capt. Schlosser. who gradu-
ates from the Hill Top university this
year All Of the other players will be
back in the game, and taking the work
that they have done this year, George
town will be represented in basketball
circles by a FIVE that will be hard 10
beat.
The District collegiate title was we'll
taken care of this year by Georgetown,
as they defeated the Gallaudet and Cath
Clic University teams with ease in their
own halls we'll as on the floor of the
skating rink. Not too much credit can
be imposed upon Coach Joyce and Capt
Schlosser for the team work that the
Hilltoppers displayed. Taking raw mate
rial and developing them into such
team that represented Georgetown on
the floor this year cannot be slighted.
In all the games that the Georgetown
FIVE participated they showed plenty
Ok speed. and the game which the MEM
bors played will go down in the annals
of the university as the best contested
set of games that the Georgetown boys
have played in many years.
SchIOsser Leads Players.

ers for the entire season, Capt. SChlosser
