GOSSIP OF LOCAL
AMATEUR ATHLETES

That basket ball game at the Y. n.
c. A. last night between Georgetown and
the Association quints was about the
best exhibition of the indoor sport that
has been shown on any local floor this
year. While there was not much to the
contest from a scientific point of view,
it was played with more spirit than mas
been seen in these parts in a long time.
From the first tap of the gong each fiFe
went at the other as though its very life
depended on the result, and there was no
let-up during the entire game.
One thing which went to mar the &C.
cason was great deal of Kissing in the
gallery. Both sides played rough, hard
basket ball, but there was certainly no
occasion for some Of the demonstrations
which took place on the part of some
Of the spectators. If two teams cannot
meet without one side kissing the other
then they had better not play. Several
times this year it has been noticed that
when a Georgetown man committed
foul, whether personal or technical. in
territorial or unntentional, there have
been some Of the spectators who nave
shown their disapproval by initiating the
snake. Personal dislike for school Ger

1t is figured among Schmidt's
mates that, In case he fails to

be necessary to devote little
time to putting one over ON the
swarthy backstop.
"Any time we need him, we'll
send down a real fighter and
get him IicLed,' Is the way the
boys put 1t.
None OF the boys take seri-
