GOSSIP OF LOCAL
AMATEUR ATHLETES

II is doubtful if there was one person
in the big crowd that was present at the
! GeorgetoWn-E Virginia basket ball game
who expected to see the IIilltoppers win.
On the playing form of the two teams for
the last mcnth it seemed that there would
be nothing to ii but Virginia. but the
Blue and Gray aggregation arose to the
emergency and played the game to WIN
There was practically no teamwork
shown in the game by either five. George
town wen by sheer aggressiveness and
some star individual work. Baricello and
Schlosser were in the limelight contnu-
ally and especially during the second
half the former played great basket ball.
The idea of awarding diamond ring
to the person scoring the most points in
the National Guard meet is rather novel
and at the same time a commendable one.
At present there is no set Of games held
in which the man winning the greatest
number of points is rewarded by anything
other than the medals he receives for his
performa noes. but in the National Guard
meet the method of making personal
awards will be adopted. and if it proves
a success will possibly be taken up by
the other institutions holding affairs of
the kind.
Adams. who was the crack quarter
miller at the Maryland Agricultural Col
lege for the last two years. will be seen in
the Washington Grove relay team when
it lines up against the fremont Club in
mile relay race in the Georgetown meet.
Adams can trim off mighty fast quarter
on an indoor track. and his running will
greatly aid the Grove team.
GalIaudet College furnished three win
championships Thursday night. Gledhil.
Conley and Mosey were the kendall
Green lads to walk away with the events
in which they were entered. Four men in
the Royal Athletic Club came first in
their bouts
Carroll Institute and the Young Mems
Christian Association will meet tonight in
what is likely to prove the deciding game
in the District League. That the contest
will be tiercely played Is certain, as
neither team will relinauish the title
without hard fight. About the same
line-uIs will he sen in action as were
Used in the previous games between the
roll team is outcassed if the game last
week between it and the Young Mems
Christian Association Rovers counts for
anything: but if the play between the
two quints is anything like what it was
in the last game it will be all Carroll.
The tickets for the Georgetown meet
were placed on sale this morning at c.
II. White Company's sporting goods store
1t was not intended to place the tickets
on sale until later. but there have been
insistent and frequent calls lately for
them. and Manager Wymard decided to
let them go Immediately. That such is
the case certainly augurs well for the
success of the Hilltoppers' meet.
Fred Warner of the Baltimore Cross
Country Club is to be placed under sus-
pension by Mr.. Stuart chairman of the
registration committee. The cause of the
suspension is given as being that the
man in question used exceptionally i'm
proper language toward one of his OPP
ponents, Swing of the fremont Athletic
Club. when his team was defeated by the
latter mans four. The fremont man did
not try to have Warner suspended by re-
porting him. but one of the officials who
