Displaying unlock ed-f for Aggressive
ness, the Georgetown University basket
ball team defeated the five from tho
University of Maryland last night By a
score of &c 10 IL. The play of the
Georgetown team was a distinct sur
prise in a way. as there were periods
when its work. i'm spite Of its lack OF
practice since the holidays. would have
done credit to any aggregation of
players. After three or four minutes
OF play the Blue and Gray men cut
loose with an aggressive style that
simply swept the Marylandcrs off their
feet. and kept them going at Other
times during The game. IL was 10y
better all-around work that George
town won the contest 10y the decisive
score.
At the start OF the contest the Mary
landers put up an excellent article IF
ball and for two or three minutes had
the Blue and Gray five on the go, but
after that the Hilltoppers found the :nselves
and scored four goals i'm quick success
sion. Just as fast as Schlosscr could
put the bali in play four plays worked
without hitch. and four goals were
scored without the Maryland team
ever getting the heather in it's possess
sion. Those three or four minutes
showed about the best brand of basket
ball that has been seen on a local court
in long time.
Georgetown Gets Lead.
After Georgetown took the lead in
the first five minutes of play. the Baiti-
more team failed to get in the run
ming, there not being a time when the
local school did not have several points
the advantage. The Blue and Gray five
played well Extensively after it had
secured a good lead. and kept the game
safe. There was one or two instances
when it appeared that the Marylanders
might make the contest close and in
teresting. but after some good passing
in the middle of the floor easy shots
at the basket would be missed
The play of the Georgetown team
a whole was good. although there were
some crudities that will have to be
eliminated before the big teams on the
schedule are met At times some OF
the players failed to follow up their
shots. and at others did not cover up
as well as they might. One or two of
the men showed a disposition to be too
conservative in their play, Heiskell es-
peciaIly hesitating with the ball too
long once he recovered IL. There was
great deal of inaccurate shooting at
times. but at others difficult losses
were made.
The Maryland team passed. the ball
fairly well. but it failed miscrably
when it came to tossing IL into the
basket. There were many chances that
it had to score which were lost simply
through inaccurate goal shooting.
Game Well Played.
The game was much better and faster
than was expected hinder the circum-
stances. Neither team had had much
training since before the holidays and
neither was supposed to be in very good
shape, and yet they both stood the fast
pace exceptionally. The players on both
sides showed more Of disposition To
rough it than has generally been the
case in basket ball in this section, there
being many times when two men would
go to the floor together with an abandon
that caused 1t to look very much like
wrestling match.
Individually every man who was sent
into the game by Georgetown did some
good work. and as soon as more teamwork
is developed. an even better article OF play
will be shown. Perhaps the best per-
formances OF the evening were by Coli
flower and Schlosser. Collihower played
a dashing game. and was generally the
first to recover the bali once ii got into
the possession of the Maryland team.
SchIosser did some good all-around work
all thorugh the contest Foley and Hoi-
lander both showed much aggressivenesS
am, did good work at different times.
Ruhl and Timanus played better than
did any others of the Maryland team.
