The Georgetown basket ball team will
present a changed lineup in its game with
the University of Maryland tonight. 1t
is thought that the five will show great
er strength than in the previous con-
test with the Baltimore Medical School
due. in a measure. to the changes in its
personnel. and also in the elimination OF
many of the crudities- that appeared
in the first real game and the practice
contest that was afterward played.
Sch.osser will appear at center in a
regular role, the position he held down
last year with such credit to himself
Hollander will start in one of the for
ward positions, while Foley will play the
other. Barriscello. who displayed lots OF
individual talent in the games last sea-
son, will be used for a while in place OF
Hollander, and Mccarthy will relieve
Foley. Gibson is not likely TO be in the
game. George Collifiower will be in the
game tonight, his broken hand having
healed sufficiently to allow him to play
Heiskell will hold down the other guard
position.
The quint has shown much improve
ment during the past week, and it will,
barring the unforeseen, appear at bet
ter advantage than at any time this year.
There is a hard schedule of games in

their rivals during the early and latter

Gallaudet has signified its intention TO
make some entries in the indoor track
meets to be he'd here this winter. Just
what success the Kendall Green school
will have in this branch of athletics is a
question, it has failed to run in any
of the meets i'm recent years with the
exception of the University of Pennsyl-
vana relay games. where it has had
more or less success.
There are some fast men at Gallaudet,
though, and with the proper development
they would undoubtedly make as good IA
reputation on the track they have
been used to doing In the other branches
of athletics.
In practice games the Friends School
quint has defeated both the Eastern and
Western teams by good margins, and as
Western has won from Cathedral III
would appear that the championship of
the league would lie between Friends and
Army and Navy Prep School But COM
parative scores are just about as pro-
ductive of real results in telling the rela-
tive strength Of two basket ball squads
as they are in any of the other athletic
branches.
Even though one team in the league
may be better at present than are the
others. that does not say that aggrega-
ton will come out in the lead at the aud
of the schedule because some OF the
teams will develop more rapidly than will
others and are liable to upset calculations
at any time.
The University of Maryland has been

with Georgetown tonight. The Baltimore
team Is banking on making the Blue and
Gray quint go a. fast gait to win, and
that it will probably have to do. The
Baltimore aggregation believes that the
contest will be close, so it went SO
far as to take up the matter of officials
with Manager Fortune Of Georgetown,

one of the men who will have charge of
the contest. AS a result of the conference

There was nothing surprising about
the report OF the national commission
OF its investigation Of the ticket scalp
ing scandal. It was conceded weeks
ago that the entire affair would be a
whitewash, and that is exactly what 1t
was. No one ever believed that there
was collision between the scalpers and
the club officials, but there was no
doubt that many OF the tickets fell into
the hands of spectators from some
source or other. The charges were
originally made against the New York
club. but 1t was found that the Ath-
letic management was even more in

taken charge Of the ticket sale in
both cities there would haye been no
occasion for the investigation. Not
until authorities in the various cities
pass a law prohibiting the sale OF
tickets at advanced prices will there
ever be a chance to prevent ticket
speculation. There is no way to- pre-
vent these tickets from being bought
by spectators. In its finding the
commission does not recommend a plan
for preventing this evil in the future
SO that the entire investigation really
amounted to nothing.
But the finding is in keeping with all
similar documents issued by the COM
mission. 1t has absolutely failed on
