In the opening game of its basket ball
schedule tonight Georgetown Will not
make any attempt TO run up big score
on the Baltimore Medical College, even
if 1t is possible. and will content itself
with using two full teams, so that every
candidate will get chance to show his
worth. There are ten good men out for
the five positions on the Blue and Gray
quint and between some of them there
is SO little difference that it is almost
impossible to tell which are the best until
they are seen under fire in a regular con-
test against another school.
That all the men used tonight against
the Baltimore Medical School will make
q good showing is to be expected, if
what they have shown in practice is any
criterion of what they can really accom-
plish in regular contest Those candi
dates who are trying for the team for
the first time this year have had a great
deal of prep school experience ana know
the game fairly well.
Coach Coiitiower has worked hard to
develop team work and a system of play
that will fool opposing fiveS. There seems
little doubt that the Blue and Gray ag
gregation is in for one of the best sea-
sons ii has ever had on the courts, and
not a little of il will be due to the work
of its coach.
All the games played by Georgetown
this year will take place at the Arcade
at pm.
Coach Collifiower says that Georgetown
will have whole lot better five this
wear than last 1t is his opinion that
the qunt which will wear the Blue and
Gray this season will be better than any
that has represented the school since the
one which defeated Columbia, winning
the championship of the country, four
years ago.
The squad which represents Georgetown
this year will be augmented much after
Christmas by the addition of Barriscello.
who played we'll for the Blue and Gray
last year The foot ball player did some
mighty good work in many of the games
brilliant shots which he made for goals
at different times. BarriScelio, Whia
playing a strong game at guard. gen.
orally managed to get away from his
for his team.
The Baltimore Medical School is re-
ported as having even stronger team
than the one which represented the
school last year and which played
Georgetown four extra periods before the
Blue and Gray got the decision by the
narrow margin of two points.
Foley who is out for a position at for
ward on the Georgetown five is said TO
be an exceptinally good man. He passes
the ball fast and accurately and covers
his position in better style than any of his
rivals for the place, with the exception of
Gibson. There is every likelihood that
Foley will get regular job on the team
before the season is very old.
Georgetown is scheduled to play the st.
Johns College five Saturday. There is lit
tie chance that the Blue and Gray Will do
other than make runaway of the game
II the score made against the same col
lege by Gallaudet is TO be taken as a
criterion of the result ST. Johns failed
to make much of showing against the
Gallaudet collegians but it is surety
that il will do much better against
Georgetown The fact that the Mary
landers were playing with a patched up
team. which had hardly practiced to-
their poor showing. Another thing which
was much against them was that their
gymnasium. in which they practiced, is
much larger than is the one at Gallaudet,
in which the game was played The diff
ference in the playing space makes
quint. especially when the strange floor
IL much smaller than the one to which
il is used in practice.
SchuerhoItz. who is the best forward in
the Baltimore Medical College lineup,
has failed to get his a. a. L. suspension
lifted. and will not be seen in the game
this evening between that school and
Georgetown. His absence will detract
much from the strength Of his team.
Mccarthy will start the game tonight
for Georgetown at center, and Schlosser
will be used at forward during the first
half. After that the latter will be placed
