Disastrous Trip Into Southland
Shows Weakness of Team
as It Now Is.

Following the loss Of two games away
from home last week and the disrupting
Of the teamwork of the quint by reason
OF suspensions on account of conditions,
Coach Joyce has determined that 1t is
necessary to reorganize the lineup of the
Georgetown basket ball team if the bat
tie scheduled against the Navy next Sat
urday is to result at all successfully. AS
the team stood before the announcement
Of the condition rule it was running along
extremely we'll. but without the services
Of Waldron and Cogan, the two regular
forwards, the strength seems to have
been greatly diminished.
In order that the present week may be
utilized getting the new organization per-
fected or the old one reinstated, Mana
ger Fortune has asked that the battle
with Mount st. Mary's scheduled for
Wednesday night be postponed. This will
give the HilltOppers three nights of prac-
tice In which to get together for Satur-
days contest, and it will also give the
suspended men as many days to make UP
their scholarship deficiencies.
II Cogan and Waidron are allowed to
make the trip to the Maryland capital
the coming days will be utilized wholly
toward making the play run smoothly
with these two stars at the forwards II
Is POSSIBLE in order to increase the scor-
ing power of the qrint. There is
chance that Capt. Schlosser will be
shifted to one forward with Martin as
a mate and Monarch put in at center. II
this is done either Graham or Lamber-
ton will he used al guard. Such a line
up would not be so strong defensively Is
the present one, but would be much bet
ter on the offense.
First practice will be held this evening
according to the present program. after
that every day possible will see the play
ers busy and this will not only be in
order until Saturdays game against the
Navy, but also up to the 18th, when the
locals hope TO get revenge on Virginia in
the contest to be played IN this city.
Coach Foley is again up in the air
to the final selection for the relay four
which Will compete in Boston the coming
Saturday. The latest element to upset
his plans is the demand on the part of
a couple of more candidates TO be given
a trial for the fourth place. Gibbs, Mar
tin and Sprowles have been definitely set
tied on, while the quartet who will run
against time for the other job either this
afternoon or tomorrow are Gross, Davis,
Bone and Carrigan.
The first real exhibition Of indoor base
ball work was displayed at the Ryan
gymnasium yesterday when half a dozen
of the candidates for the team started in
training. The men who lnaugurated the
years work We're Feenan, Gaynor and
Cogan of last seasons team and Findley
and McCauley, two first-year students.
There We're also three or four more on
hand. but these did not enter into the
stunts seriously.
The props also have suffered from con-
dition suspensions Two OF the basket
ball players were taken off the team be-
fore the game in Annapolis Saturday,
while there promises to be cut in the
track entries that have been sent in for
the Baltimore meet the coming Saturday.
At the present time two of the Hilltop
! captains are out of town. Capt. Smith
| OF the track squad is still in New York
and will not return until tomorrow. while
! the base ball leader. Billy Sitterding, is
| spending few days at his home in Rich
mond before taking up the spring prac-
! tice with the sphere. He will return this
! evening and will Immediately start
rounding up the candidates for hard work
/ from now on.
