Church Will Be Represented by q
Strong Quint.
Manager wOodburn Has Arranged
aPlny for the Benefit Of
the Team.

So far nothing has been heard Of the
Foundry Church QlIint which made such
an enviable record last season. Owing
10 the fact that Chase Taylor. who was
physical director of the Y. NJ. c. A.. has
taken charge of the Friends Select
School, they have been unable to obtain
a gymnasium to practice or play in SO
far. but Manager Woodburn has d plan
on hand to raise enough money to pay
for the expense of the use of the Uni
versity School gymnasium. Last season
Chase Taylor gave them the use of the
boys department gymnasium for the en-
tire season.
Manager Woodburn has arranged an
entertainment, in the shape Of a play
at Foundry Church, Sixteenth and Church
streets northwest, on next Friday night.
The proceeds of the play will be given
over to the basket-balL1quint for the pur-
chasing of suits and for the rental of
a gymnasium. The players who repre-
sented the team last season will again
be in line, and some new faces will be
seen. From the present outlook Foundry
Church will be represented by a~stronger
quint than they had last season.

When the college resumes its work this
week. there will be renewed activity in
the Gallaudet basketball squad. which
has played only one practice game with
outside quints during the Christmas va
cation.
Capt Arras has all the regulars and
reserves who did not go home for the
holidays constantly at practice. and. con-
sequently, when the varsity team lines
up with Catholic University Saturday
night, at Brookland a team somewhat
different from the one which was beaten
by st. Johns College. at Annapolis, two
weeks ago will represent Gallaudet.
The most important change in the var
Sity lineup made by ArraS, the new cap

the center position to Indian" Battiste.

Tuesday, it is doubtful il Capt Arras
will make any further change in his now
winning combination before the game
with Catholic University Saturday.
The Kendall Green undergraduates arc
enthusiastic over the outlook for this sea-
son. as Arras has proved himself to be a
very capable leader and a man with an
iron hand. something needed to make a
winning Guint at the East Side college.
