BY Georgetown Quint After To-

Are Over.
MOUNT ST. JOSEPHS is TO
BE MET TONIGHT

to Get Away With a
Victory.
BY II. C. BYRD.

georgetown will play its last basket
baI game tonight until after the holi-
Gays. The contest with ST. Josephs this
evening will be the last in which the
Blue and Gray quint is scheduled to ap
pear until 1t meets the five from LOyola
College. January TO-
The game tonight should result in
another victory for Georgetown. The St.
Josephs quint is not apt to prove as
strong as the Hilltoppers in any depart
its start in that school and it is not prob
able quint of the caliber Of that of
Georgetown Will be brought over.
1t is probable that the Georgetown five
will start with the same lineup as that
which 1t put on the floor against the
University of Maryland last week, with
the possible exception of center. If there
is change, Waldron will be sent in to
play that position and one of the other
men. either Walk or Whalen, will hold
down the forward position.
Georgetown will show much improved
form over what it did in the contest
against the University of Maryland. The
Blue and Gray quint, with the experience
which has been given it during the last
week Of practice and the fact that it has
appeared in a regular contest, will add
much to it. 1t was generally remarked
that the University of Maryland showed
to much better advantage in passing the
ball and in team play, but that was to be
expected, especially when it is considered
that the Baltimore five had played five
games before it met Georgetown, while
the local school was in its first.
1t may be, though, that much closer
contest will be played than is looked for.
The St Josephs five may show greater
strength than is expected, and in such
case it will do whole lot better work.
The margin should. in any case. be much
more in favor of the Blue and Gray than
in the game against the University of
Maryland when it had all it could take
care of to get away with the victory.
While Georgetown will play it's last game
this evening until after the holidays, the
Catholic University has two more con-
tests scheduled. The Brooklanders are
qunt and also the Navy, both
Of which are liable to make the Brook
landers go at their fastest gait to make
the right kind of showing, they being
almost sure to meet defeat in the last
contest.
The George Washington game is
to take place Friday night
but the management of the Catholic
University team is endeavoring to have it
changed to Thursday. it being feared
as it might be to play the Navy Satur-
day if it engages the G. w. L. aggrega-
ton the night before.
To judge by the reports that are coming
from Charlottesville, the University of
Virginia is expecting to undertake
next fall for it's foot ball team
which will be hard enough for one of the
big five, almost. 1t is alright to be am
bilious, but the idea of the Orange and
Blue playing a schedule which would en-
body meeting one of the big three and
one or two other northern schools besides,
then playing Vanderbilt, Georgia, George
town and Washington and Lee in addition,
looks as though it is undertaking a prop
ositiOn too big for it to carry through to
a successful conclusion.
For Virginia to get away with such
schedule as is reported it contemplates it
will have to have much stronger eleven
than it did during the past season. In fact.
no team Virginia has had in quite awhile
would be able to face such list of
games and win a gOodly share of them.
1t is reported that the Mount st. Jo-
seph's five won from Washington College,
the school which Georgetown was orig
inally scheduled to play tonight, by
large score last week.
The Pickup team which met the Wig
ilantS eleven yesterday made a really
better showing than would have been ex-
men had never played together and had
not practiced at all. The work
of Dave White and Hegarty for the
mixed team was exceptionally good, the
former carrying the ball down the field
almost alone during the first quarter for
the only touchdown scored against the
club He took the ball time
after time and carried it anywhere from
) To ID yards in rush until it was taken
across the line.
The VigilantS had the more seasoned
eleven, though, barring Hegarty and
White, and it was only to be expected
that they would get away with the game.
The showing made SO far by the Cath
Ollie University quint seems to indicate
that. it is stronger than any that has
ever represented that school While ii
suffered defeat at the, hands of the Bal
timore Medical College, the Brookland
ers' quint made a showing which pre-
sages a loss for the Baltimore aggregation
when it appears here. Accuracy in shoot
ing goals is proving very valuable asset
to the play of the &. u. men.
