At least three of the teams in the re-

will have to win their next three games

BASKETBALL
COMMENT.

That the Washington City Basketball
League was organized too fast is the
opinion of nany.- er-tIr1 cracKs OF rne
District.
There are several quints in the league
that should be in a Glass B" organiza-
ton, and that the games are uninter-
esting to the spectators is an assured
fact Nothing is more tiresome than a
one-sided game of basketball, and such
scores as Al to and 56 to 10 are bound
to do more harm than good.
Why not have two divisions Of Class
4? For instance: Carroll, Y. NJ. c. A.
Corcorans, and either Ingram, or the
Cardinals in the first division and the re-
naming clubs in the second. At the end
of the season play series between the
winners in both divisions to decide the
championship. The present schedule calls
for two games between each club. Y.
NJ c. A won from Carroll in the Y. NJ.
c. A. gym and Carroll turned the tables
when playing on her own floor. The
relative strength of the two teams is
still a subject of dispute between the fol-
lowers of these quints and yet the two
have played their string of league games,
and unless the race ends in a tie, will
meet no more this year. With a four
club league, each team would meet its
rival four times, and much better line
could be gotten on both the playing
strength of the teams and the individual
work of each man. Again, the schedule
is unevenly balanced. Y. NJ. G. A. has
played five games. Carroll four. the
Stalwarts and Cardinals each have play
ed two, while the Corcorans have
played but one game Carroll had four
games in two weeks and then a months
lay-off Although the season is less than
4 month old. the race has dwindled down
to three clubs already, and one of these
clubs may be forced out by the loss of
several star players. 1t is rumored that
several of the weaker clubs will present
a much stronger lineup after the holi-
days, having acquired new players. At
least one Quint would make better time
by starting out and getting two new for
wards, a new center, and couple of
guards that are of major league quail
ity.
C. U. looked mighty good against U. of
Md. The team lacks weight, but is very
fast. and under the able tutelage of Fred
Rice is rapidly developing a system Of
teamwork that is bound to make the
Brookland. boys a worthy foe to many
a larger college.
Speaking Of guards, how about the
Carroll backs, Beaulac, and Downey?
This pair have been a tower of strength
to the Tenth streeters this season and
look to have something on any other
guards in the city league on the form
shown so far.
It will take some team to defeat Y. NJ.
c. A. in the association gym. This barn
like structure gets the goat of most
visiting teams at their first glance at
its size.
Watch the Kendalls bump, now that
Chris Mullady has cut loose. Chris was
the leading spirit OF the northeast lads
and they are bound to miss his guiding
hand
wouldn't a Carroll-Y. NJ. c. A. game
at either the Arcade or Convention Hall
draw a crowd. though?
