Gallaudet College wound up its success
ful basket ball season with an easy vic
tory over the fast Mount ST. Joseph
College quint yesterday afternoon at the
Kendall Green gymnasium by the score
of 50 to Is.
The game was somewhat slow and a
rough and tumble affair at first. Gal
laudet scored within twenty seconds after
the starting whistle. a clever shoot by
Hover, and took the lead on the jump.
For fourteen minutes the Baltimore
uuint was unable TO score, and their only
goal of the first half was made by Capt.
Scallon. who Gagged the ball from diff
cult angle. The first half stood 10 TO :.
n favor of the Kendall Green squad
Ire second half showed both teams en-
more even terms. and furnished several
spectacular plays by both quints. Gal

CUNTS WILL MEET.
GEORGETOWN and Y. N. C. A. Teams
Agree to Conditions for Games.

Manager Fortune of the Blue and GRAY
basket ball team and Director Beckett
Of the Y. NJ. C. A. quint met yesterday
and made all preliminary arrangements
for a series of games to be played for
the purpose OF deciding the championship
Of the District. According to the plans.
the first battle will take place at the Ar
cade and the second at the Y. NJ. c. A.
II a third game Is necessary 1t will be
played on a strictly neutral floor.
The dates have not as yet been agreed
on. The first contest. though. must be
played before March 20 and the other as
soon afterward as possible. 1t may be
possible to play both games before that
date the delay in settling on this part
Of the plans being necessitated by y. NJ
c. A. having a number of other contests
listed AS soon as some shifts can be
made in these the battles with George
without delay.
Should the Blue and Gray players sue
coed In defeating the Y. NJ. c. A. in two
games il will mean big boost for them.
At the present time the ranking of teams
in this section is in a state bordering on
chaos, and from all dope yet obtainable
the locals have as good a chance for the
south Atlantic title as any other five In
the division. Two victories over the as
sociation team, which holds both the local
and intercity championships. should give
the Hilltoppers as substantial a claim as
any of the fves Of the colleges for the
big honor of Maryland, Virginia, North
Carolina and the District.

The black eye which Monte Cross gave
warren Miller as to his ability as a
ball player has not had the slightest
effect on Jim McAieer's opinion of that
youngster
McAleer believes that personal feeling
caused Cross to come out and say that
Miller did not have a chance to make
good In fast company. This opinion is
absolutely contrary to a statement made
in letter from Cross received by Nc
Aleer last summer. in which Cross
praised Miller's work. 1t seems, how
ever. that McAleer wanted Miller to re-
port here before the New York State
League season was over, and Cross. who
managed the Scranton team, Of which
Miller was a member, refused to allow
Miller to report. This angered Miller,
and i'll feeling sprang up between him
and Cross, the outcome of which was
Cross public statement that Miller was
not fast enough for this company.
Miller on his record alone stands a
chance to make good with us. and. be-
sides, kahoe. who saw him play last

OUTDOOR MEET OF
GEORGETOWN PREPS
Every Effort Will Be Made to
Fill Events With Best School,
boy Athletes in South.

1t became known for certain yesterday
that the Georgetown Props would hold
a big outdoor interscholastic field and
track meet on the Hilltop field to fill the
place made vacant by the abandonment OF
the Tome games. The local affair will
take place on the afternoon Of May L.
on which day the varsity base ball team
plays In New York city
The plans for the meet have been un-
der way for some time and have been SC
fully developed that almost every detail
can be announced. The arrangements
contain some unique features, one OF
which is the marking out of the field. The
ihundred-yard dash is to be run uiagonally
on turf track to be laid out across the
outtield of the base ball court. In this
way it will be in full view of the grand
stand and bleachers. All or the othel
running events will take place on the
auarter-mile track, the finish being IN
front of the grandstand
The pole vault VIII be put on back OF

base and the high jump behind thlro
The hammer throw Will be executed III
the northwest corner of the held, as TAI
away from the stands as possible. "hiie
the shOt-put will be placed near the cen
ter In this way it is thought that every
BODY attending will be able to see big
share of the contests including those IN
automobiles in section especially ar
ranged back of the running track on the
west side of the campus.
Those having charge of the games are
Thomas Jessup, president Of the Prepare
tory Athletic Associations: Manager COL
den of the track team and John Nurtz'
ex-manager of the basket pail team.
Committees will be appointed during the
coming week to take hold of the different
departments and every effort Will be
made to place the information concern
ing the games before the public as soon
as possible.
urday evening number of the prep
students will endeavor to interest,"
visiting scholastic teams in the out
door event. A large number of the
big prep and high schools of the south
will be here then. and hence it is be-
lieved that a lot of them will be got
ten in line from the start.
The idea is to make the meet a
southern interscholastic affair. All OF
the high schools of Richmond, Baltl-
more. Fredericksburg Norfolk, Wash
ington and the smaller towns of Vir-
ginia and Maryland will be invited.
Bids will also be sent to the prep
schools of the District, Episcopal High
of Alexandria. Woodberry Forest. jeff
erson School of Charlottesville. the
Baltimore prep schools and City Col
lege and Tome School.
Efforts. though, will also be made to
bring down some of the big teams of
the east among these Lawrenceville
and Mercersburg. Blair Academy.
Brown Prep. Philadelphia Central High
and the Fordham Props of New York.
In fact it is the intention of the Hill
toppers to ultimately make. the meet
as big a schoolboy set of games as
there is in the country. and In this
endeavor they will be ably supported
by the varsity managers.
