BY n. C. BYRD.

Georgetown lost the last game Of its
basket ball schedule last night to tile five
from Bucknell University by the score Of
Al to % Outplayed at all angles in the
last half the Blue and Gray qaint lost the
lead 1t held at the end of the first period
and drew the losers end of the contest
The Pennsylvanians. while they failed TO
show impressively during the first part
OF the game. came to the front In the
second half and played the best basket
ball that has been seen on local court
this year
When the game started the Georgetown
five looked to be the better in almost
every department of play. They shot
goals more accurately and passed the ball
with greater facility. and played a better
all-round game. The score at the end of
the period was 10 to IL in favor of the
Hilltoppers, and the difference in the
score did not really show the superiority
OF the Blue and Gray's play.
The second half started as though It
would be a repetition of the first. with
the odds much in favor of Georgetown.
but the advantage was short lived The
Bucknells soon found their feet and PLAYED
basket ball such as has not been seen
here before this season. Their passing
was perfect. and. while they did not shoot
goals to perfection, their work I'm general
came about as near that mark as il ever
does along any line. Twenty eight to
fourteen was the tally made by thu two
teams in the second period aud the adj
vantage that was Bucknelrs was de-
served. as II clearly outplayed the Hill-
toppers. On the game as it was played
there should have been no other score.
The Hilltoppers. for the first time since
fh0Ny fo nnd thc I.1t s,,
the first games OF the season. were plain.
ly outciassed by a better team.
Last Game Disappointing. :
The result of the game was rather
disappointment in a way. Ii was the
last on Georgetown's schedule, and it
was especially desired by the Blue and
Gray adherents to get away with the
winning end of the game but they were
disappointed. The players themselves
also wanted TO end the season with q
victory, but the spoils were denied them.
No other defeat received by the Blue and
Gray five has been received as bitterly
as that which the Pennsylvanians hand
ed out to the Blue and Gray players Ic
was keen disappointment for the men
to have to end as successful season as
they have with a defeat.
During the second period Bucknell was
not to be denied. 1t had not shown
its best play in the first part of the
contest, but 1t came out with some bril-
liant work during the last ten min
utes. Bartholomew and Fisher played
exceptionally well during the closing
moments of the game, seeming able
to drop the ball into the basket from
almost any angle. The teamwork OF
the Bucknell crew was excellent and
the way it executed the passes kept
the Blue and Gray players guessing
nearly all the time.
After it had forged ahead a few
points the Bucknell crew showed that
it knew how to play the game, when
1t covered SO quickly when placed on
the defensive. Whenever Georgetown
got the ball during the last few min
utes of play there was generally some
Bucknell man hanging to him before
he had a chance to pass it.
Bartholomew Makes Six Goals.
Bartholomew tossed six goals in the
last half. while Fisher his teammate,
scored TOUR. Fulmer and Gdaniec got
two each. For Georgetown Schlosser
was the best scorer. the Blue and Gray
center making six field goals and tossing
three from the foul line.
Whafen also did good work in shooting
baskets after he was sent into the game
in the second half, but In the other de-
partments of his play he was not up to-
the standard usually set by him.
In the first part of the contest the
game was not very fast, but after Buck
nell had tied the score, about the mid
die Of the second half some fast hard
play developed. Georgetown tried futile
~ to regain the lead it had lost while
Bucknell seemed just as determined that
it would hold what advantage it had.
Once Georgetown crept up to within two
points of the Pennsylvanians. and the
score was II to 80. but three goals in
rapid succession placed it at a disad4
vantage from which it never recovered.
