| Playing virginia on llS Iett IN Ine uLLSA
chapter, Georgetown won the basketball
game with that institution at the Arcade
last night S to 9.
At the end of the first half the Blue
and Gray led by single point, Ii to L,
after nip-and-tuck playing all the way
and Virginia started the second period
| the favorite with those who were willing TO
bet on the outcome. Georgetown rallied
in the last half, and before seven min
utes of play had rolled up fourteen points,
one more than they made in the whole
first session. This gives an idea of the
vim with which the Hilltoppers went
back at their opponents, and really tells
the story of the contest, for the visitors
even though they fought gamely, could
not cope with the excellent passing and
basket shooting of their rivals.
| On account of the closeness of the score
in the first half. the manner in which the
winners push the ball down the floor
and into the basket in the closing period
was all the more marked, and gave
the Georgetown adherents a chance TO
root Justify. AS the score doomed up
larger and larger and Virginia failed to
show the expected rally, the enthusiasm
of the Hilltoppers' friends everywhere IN
the house knew no bounds
In the first half there was little differ |
| ence in the play of the men, every one |
apparently playing safe and resting Tor |
| the wind-up, but in the last half things |
changed nightly. Barricello seemed 10 !
be imbued with wings. racing up and
down, and always away from his op- |
ponents. and whenever he threw for the
basket the ball went plump in, several
times from the middle of the floor |
Schlosser was the other HilltoPper to
shine in the big rally he running up four
goals in the second half and doing eX-
cellent work in passing and in getting |
the ball away from Virginia.
Cecil Does Fine Work.
Capt Cecil, short and stocky and full
of pluck, easily performed the best for
the Orange and Blue, and his work stood
out prominently above his team mates.
Virginia was in excellent physical con-
dition, and the men did not once show
any evidence of being tired. 1t was rather
the fact that Georgetown kept the ball
away from the visitors that contributed
largely to the HilItoppers' victory.
Monarch had a hard fall in the first
half. and bumped his head on the floor.
but he went back again after a rub
down and short rest
A crowd of over 100 lined the gall
Iery and encircled the floor to see the
two teams play, and the result seemed TO
please everybody. The summary:

Responding to President Young's call
upon their league for a statement show
ing the condition of affairs and a list OF
the officials who will serve for the COM
ing season, the Sunday School League
will hold a meeting in the next few days
for the election of officials and the trans
action of other business. Herman A.
Meyers, the present head of the church
organizat ton, is the logical choice for an
other term, inasmuch as his administra-
ton has been one of the best. if not the
very best, in the history of the Sunday
School League. Last year Mr.. Meyers
labored under the handicap of being
manager of the Peck team, in addition to
being president, but as the Peck lads will
give up their franchise this spring he will
now be free to devote his entire time to
the interests of the league Furthermore,
he will come before that body as an out
slider. having no interest in any of the
clubs He is popular with all of the
managers, and friendly with everybody.
The writer has long advocated the selec-
ton of outsiders to control the various
amateur leagues, taking the view that
any man connected with team should
not. for technical reasons, be allowed to
serve as president of the league. In past
years the Sunday School Leaguers have
been exceedingly lucky to escape internal
dissensions because they have had presi-
dents who were also managers, and with
the reelection of Mr. Meyers the north ,
east boys will have taken step in the
right direction. Besides, they will get a
man who will devote his entire time and
energy toward the advancement OF the
league along sane lines.
Owing to the interest being taken in
baseball by the printers, Columbia 1ol
which has long been represented by a ,
strong team on the diamond. will prob
ably place two mines in the field this
spring. John F. Luitich viii take hold !
Of the team, which will probably become {
a member Of the Capital City League,
while the regular Columbia 101 outfit !
will again be a member of the Marquette
League. With two teams IN constant :
action, the local printers will have an
excellent squad from which to pick a
representative nine to fight for Wash /
ington in the fall intercity baseball /
games of the National Printers League
After ALL the championship of this series !
of games is what the printers long to t
win, and all efforts are to be bent in 6
this direction
Indications point to the Capital City >
League being stronger this season than 5
ever before. With Manager Cornell de- t
Gliding he may take another try at the
amateur game. with the Marines and
11 teams knocking ate the door
for admittance, the North Capitol street !
circuit should have the cream of the i
.ity's talent and draw from all sections t
IF the city. I
Speaking of the possibility Of a hot !
light between Messrs. Cornell, O'Connor,
md Luitich In the Capital City League :
