The Interscholastic Basket Ball League
will start play this afternoon in the gym
nasium OF the boys department at the
Y. M. c. A. The schedule will be dis
continued during the holidays but 1t will
be resumed upon the reopening OF school
In January. Cathedral School and Busi-
ness High School will meet in the first
contest.
The scholastic league was started last
year and 1t went through a fairly sue
cessful season. 1t was an attempt to get
basket ball on a solid basis in the schools
and 1t succeeded to a certain degree. This
year the league will be started with much
brighter prospects and should carry out
Its list of games even more successfully.
Army and Navy Props. Friends School,
Cathedral School. Business, Western and
Eastern High schools compose the Or
ganization.
1t Is reported that Princeton will have
the best nucleus for foot ball team next
year it has ever had in its history. The
Tigers will have nine regulars back from
who will be lost are Blumenthal and Pen
dleton. 1t may be that Logan and De-
Witt the punter will remain in school,
and If so there will be eleven men back.
all of whom were practically regulars.
Gallagher of Georgetown ought not to
have any great amount of trouble in fin
fishing first in the championship race in
Baltimore tomorrow. Gallagher has al
ways been rated as one Of the best dis
feated some of the most capable men.
The former Brown Prep lad was at
Yale last year and ran in the Olympic
meet. He took part in the marathon and
finished either seventh or eighth. His
work has been OF such character as to
place him in a class above the distance
performers in this section.

held by Elphinstone. Elphinstone has

runs to form there is not much reason
for thinking other than that he will be
able to hold his supremacy.
Jimmie Mulligan probably has better
material to work with than has been at
Georgetown in long while. with the
enrolment OF several men who came from
other institutions last winter George
town sprang to the front in track and
field sports astonishingly fast. This year

should go through the coming season,
both indoor and outdoor. with greater
success than has been attained since the
days Of Duffy and Wefers.
The squad will be in the hands of
capable man also. Jimmie Mulligan.
while he has not done much coaching,
has had lot Of experience in the sport
and knows the ms and outs exceptionally
well. Mulligan was one Of the greatest
indoor runners in the country at one
time. and what he does not know about
the little tricks which are so effective on
a small track is not worth thinking
about.
Indoor soccer foot ball will be tried at
the Y. M. c. A. in the boys department.
Just how it will turn out is a question
which cannot be answered until after the

will have to be content not to take part in
any Of the track events which are to be

Two games Of basket ball will be played
tomorrow night at the Y M. C. A. The
first will take place between the Y. NJ c.
A. regulars and the other between the
7. NJ c. A. Bull Moose team and the
Aloysius Club. Both contests should be
worth seeing.
There are three officials who will prob
ably handle all the basket ball games to
be played here this year. Jim Collifower,
who is coaching Georgetown: Shorty
Hughes and Jack Haas are the men who
will be on the job In the majority of the
contests. Jim Colliflower is too we'll
known among basket ball followers to
need an introduction: Hughes has been
one Of the most capable referees around
here In a long while, while Jack Haas
has had much experience as a profess
