GOSSIP OF LOCAL
AMATEUR ATHLETES

ball season tonight, when it meets the
Loyola College five in Baltimore. The
Blue and Gray team should have no
trouble cleaning up the Marylanders by
good margin. The props are also to
take the journey. and will meet the 10y
ola props in preliminary game. From
what the Lovola youngsters showed in
their game against the Catholic Univer-
sity> freshmen the Georgetown props
should have an even easier time winning
than will thu varsity.
1t has not been definitely decided when
Georgetown will meet the Y. NJ. {. \. in
the annual series to determine the cham
pionship of the District. The three games
will probably be played during the sec
ond week in March ,as it is hardly likely
that anything much will be acTc before
the meet. which is to be held next sat
urday night, and after the 18th of the
month base ball will more than likelt
take up the greater part OF the time oil
the Blue and Gray athletic association.
The Maryland Asgies are to open their
lacrosse season March - in Baltimore
against the Baltimore City College.
The Army and Navy props were out
classed by the Western High School hNe
yesterday In a fairly we'll played basket
ball game. The props seemed unable to
locate the basket consistently, while what
few chances the high school boys did get
were made good. Both teams paid lots
more attention to guarding than they did
to teamwork or offensive play Nobody
seemed to care what happened just SO he
kept his man from throwing a goal.
It is not likely that the Georgetown re-
lay four will be much changed when II
lines up against Virginia next week from
what it was when it went to Boston to
compete against Holy Cross. SproWeis.
Davis, Gibbs and Martin are doing about
as good work as are any OF the other
men, and it is hardly likely that either of
them will be replaced The experience
they received out of the trip to Boston
will do them worlds of good in the race
against their old rivals, and it Is question
able whether it would be wise to put in a
green man even though he could do a
fraction OF a second better in practice
than any Of the regular four. An instance
was given in the uyout before the Bos-
ton meet, when Carrigan was beaten
by twenty yards in short race when he
was without doubt about as fast a man
as either of the three he was running
against.
Loehl of the Georgetown props is one
of the best basket ball players on any
of the District scholastic teams. While
he has the reputation of being rough
player, there never was anything more
erroneous. He plays the game hard and
to win. just as it should be played. and
without any intentional roughness on his
part.
The Richmond College team is seeking
satisfaction in the Georget owl. meet ne from
quartet insisted on running the local
school and no other.
In the George Washington games the
Farmers were awarded the race because
the Richmond team was disqualified for
bers from the South Atlantic amateur
Athletic Union. The VirginianS We're
pretty sore over thetreatment they re-
ceived at the hands of the association
officials and they did not like the Idea OF
giving the Marylanders the medals with
out chance at them. The Farmers have
not lost relay race in the last two
years, and as their team is in the best
shape it has been in this year there is
Southerners will win back any laurels
which might have been won in the other
meet. Duckett, the captain of the Farm
ers relay four, did not run against the
George Washington team In the Balti-
more meet. and yet his team made faster
time without being pushed than any four
from Richmond College ever accom-
plislled.
The set of games which the Baltimore
Athletic Club intended to hold, to take
the place of the Federal meet, has been
officially declared off by that organiza-
ton. 1t is understood that enough in
terest could not be aroused in the mat
ter to justify the institution of the meet
as an annual affair, and there was little
use of its being undertaken for one
season.
1t has not vet been decided what four
men will compose the relay team which
is to represent the Georgetown props in
their annual race with the Western High
School four. Those who have watched
the men at work during the season be-
liexe that Childs. McGrath and Nc
Laughin are sure of positions, while
the other lies between two men. Golden
will probably run in the hurdles and not
be trained for the relay. The prep star
should make some of his competitors
hustle in the scholastic events. as he is
one of the fastest men in the south be-
tween the sticks, his only fault being
that he takes them little too high
The local Central Branch Y. NJ. c. A.
is to meet the Central branch of Balti-
more on the local floor tonight in the
third basket ball game between the two
associations. One game has been won
by each branch. and the contest tonight
is the rubber.
The Cathedral School quint did not
have an easy time of it yesterday in
winning from the Eastern High five.
One point was the sum total of its mar
gin over the high school lads.
