by Aggressive Playing.

, No greater surprise was ever sprung in
the local basket ball world than last
night. when the Georgetown University
five came away with the long end of the
score in the game with the University Of
Virginia quint. Before the start of the
contest it was generally supposed that
the Charlottesville aggregation would
have more or less of an easy time of It..
but the game had not progressed five
minutes before 1t was evident that the
Hilltoppers were putting up the fight of
their lives, and how we'll they came out
is shown by the score of 35 to %.
Before the teams came on the floor
there was some discussion In regard TO
the Interpretation of the rules. but the
difficulty was soon settled and the teams
made their appearance almost at the
same time.
After the game had started it was fully
three minutes before either team scored.

from a rather awkward post on. From
this time on in the first half the play
was so even that it was impossible to tell
which team would be in the LEAD the
next minute. The score at the end OF
the first period was Ii to Il in favor OF
Georgetown.

the lead that was, chalked up against 1t.
The half was full of hard, rough work,
fouls being committed repeatedly, ana

game was practically placed on ice In
the last half by the two mentioned
Georgetown players. Barriceflo scored
ten points and Schlosser eight during the
last twenty minutes of play. The guard

Cecil got in some great work for the Viz

at all times the most aggressive man in
the southerners' lineup.

the game was a failure. There was
scarcely any team work shown by either
side, individual play predominatins
throughout. The Georgetown team was
the faster, but it won the game simply
because of its superior aggressiveness
and guarding. The HilltOppers guarded
SO well that they completely disrupted the
team work of the Viginians. and, in the
contest which followed. in which indi-
vidual supremacy was the deciding factor,
they proved their superiority.
