Georgetown Quint Receives
Worst Beating of Season.

Blue and Gray Team Is Mere Toy
in the Hands Of It's Superior
Opponents.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, February 1.-THE
old tradition that close battle always
results from a meeting of Georgetown
and Navy quints was rudely shattered in
the Academy armory here today. when
the Middies toyed and romped with their
Washington rivals. From almost the
very beginning of hestilities the embryo
admirals displayed their superiority. and
so eager were they to wipe out losses or
other years that when the battle ended
they had sixty-fve tallies opposite the
Blue and Gold, while but eighteen graced
the space of the Blue and Gray.
The game was witnessed by the usual
Saturday afternoon crowd, probably eight
hundred being gathered around the court.
Little cheering, though, resulted. and as
an arouser of excitement the play was
decidedly failure. Only on a couple OF
occasions, when long or difficult shots
broke the monetony Of commonplace com
petition, did the spectators rise from their
lethargy and break the silence with mea-
ger applause -,
Jacobs of the Middies opened the tally
ing after three minutes OF loose play on
both sides by bagging a neat basket from
q throw-in. This was signal lot a
squirt, which began the undoing or the
losers. Hardly a minute elapsed before
Ertz put a couple of more points on the
Nays score. Martin offset this. put
only for few minutes. as Wenzeli maze
one from a foul and Douglas annexed a
doublet
was reached and a good line was obtain
able on both teams. Georgetown seem
ed the weaker by far. and It's disao-
vantage was further accumulated by re-
peated attempts at long SHOTS Navy aiso
offended in this regard. but many failures
finally forced the team to adopt saner
mode of passing. AS result the lead on
the Blue and Gray steadily Increased;
until at the intermission the Middles leo
by the score % to 10.
The second session was almost q farce
Georgetowns altered lineup failed to hold
down the steadily advancing Navy team,
and point after point was added with
seeming ease. During the last hve min
utes of the game tho Navy second team
went in. and even this five proved equal
to the now fatigued losers.
Douglas. the giant Navy center. was
easily the brightest star OF the rather
extended constellation of goal-tossers
Every one of his teammates took him
for a pivot. and in this capacity he served
excellently, caging easily many goals
and also putting up a good defense. Hill
and Ertz deserve second mention.
For Georgetown King did the best work.
with Monarch and schlosser close behind.
Wholesale substitutions prevented the
other players from showing their true
form.
