Hilltoppers Show Best Form
in Second Half.

Baltimore Leads in Early Stages,

and Gray Displays Improvement,
the Guards Especially.

Georgetown auspicioUsly opened it's
basketball season at the Arcade last
night, defeating the Baltimore Medical
School by the decisive score of % to IL
For the first game of the season,
Georgetown displayed excellent team
work. but the HIlltoppers did not get
going until the, second half. The, end
of the first half found the Baltimoreans
leading by one point. the score being
10 to 9. but at the beginning of the sec
ond half, ii was evident that the Blue
and Gray had come into its own, and
point after point was scored by the
local quint, while all the Doctors could
do was to make one point from a foul
Foley, who subbed at quarter on the
Georgetown eleven this fall, showed
himself to be an excellent forward,
caging two pretty goals from the floor
in the second period, the only time he
was in the game.
Schlosser. who made his mark at
Georgetown last year, played hIs usual
brilliant game. being all over the floor.
He manipulated three goals during the
game and added four points to hts teams
score by free throws. In the first half
he played at left forward, but in the
second half he was pitted against Lap
pam. at center. and at the latter position
he shone with great brillancy. Capt. Glib
son, too, was much in the limelight dur
ing the game, and his clever goal throw
ing, as we'll as the clean way in which
he handled and passed the ball, kept the
spectators on edge.
Georgetown's great strength lies in her
guards Repeatedly, when the Medcos
worked the ball down the floor and un-
der the basket. either Heiskell or COll-
flower would step in and break up the
teamwork. A good idea Of the excellence
OF dafa ha foIn
from the results, which show that the
Paltimoreans scored only three baskets
in play.
Under the tutelage Of Jim Collifower.
Georgetown is sure to have a winning
quint, II last nights game may be taken
as a criterion. His squad. even at this
early stage Of development shows the
result Of careful coaching and last
nights form augurs well for a most sue
cessrul season.
There was seldom a moment in the
second half when the visitors had a look
in. the ball being nearly always in
Georgetown's possession. There is no de-
nying that the team looks good. The
team is heavy, but fast, and the men
work together, last night displaying mid
season form.
Foley, Hollender, Mccarthy Doherty.
and Graham, the new men on George
towns team, showed up exceptionally
we'll. the first named getting his chance
in the second and showing up splendidly.
Mccarthy seldom failed to get the jump
on his opponent, and, while he shot but
one basket, he was IN the game all the
time. Hollender also negotiated a brace
Of baskets.
For the Baltimoreans, Pole, at right
guard, and Lappam, at center, played
the best game. Owing to the good work
Of the local quint, Baltimore had but
little chance to shine, but the two men
named did much to keep down the score
Of the Hilltoppers.
