Giant Georgetown Guard Is in
Every Play-Waldron Furnishes
Sensation of the Evening.
By c. w. SWAN.

Before the largest crowd that has
ever witnessed an athletic contest in
the Arcade, the Georgetown Univer-
sity basketball team humbled the five
from the University of Virginia last
night. in the first game of the series
- to 10.
The Hilltoppers won the game in the
first half, going after the wearers Of
the Orange and Blue from the start
and sweeping them off their feet with
whirlwind tactics.
Pop" Lanigan's boys made just one
half the number of points scored BY
Jim CoIlifower's charges. but that does
not tell the entire story The Blue and
Gray clad athletes guarded better, shot
truer, and in every way outplsyed the
FIVE from Charlottesville
GEORGETowN's PASSING GOOD.
GeorgetoWn's passing was almost per.
feet. CoIlifower and Schlosser working
like a well-oiled machine, and whalsH
and waldron being the lads TO take thC
long throws. The Virginia forwards
were way OF color In shooting for thS
baskets. time and again missing what
looked to be dead sure goals. KeaTns
vas che biggest disappointment OF the
battle, the Virginia leader falling by far
10 play up to his usual fast game. al
though at that he was easily the best
Of the Orange and Blue quintet.
The HilItOppers' speed seemed to dazzle
the Yirsinisns, CoIHhower and waIdror
being able to distance the field every
time when going down the floor. Church
man was unable to guard Waldron, tht
Blue and Gray forward csging sever
baskets
BY far the most sensational PLAYS oi
the evening were furnished by waIdron
who, thrice in succession, tossed the bal
into the netting from the center OF tbs
floor without even touching the rim oi
the basket These shots drew tremendou:
applause from the crowd, and the Hill
toppers deserved every bit OF IL.
George Collifiower. although trouble,
with an ankle that caused him intens,
pain every step he toOh played the fea
ture game of the evening, the Gian
Georgetown guard being the prime mover
in every scrimmage, and always getting
the ball down the floor for a forward
to shoot at the basket The work o
this star stamps him as being one OF tn,
best backs ever developed around thu
District. and one who Will be able q
give the best in the country a stin rub
Whalen and HeiskeIl put UP fast bas
ket-ball. the former being the hghtest
man on the floor. and being in every
mix-up. Schlosser played his usual greai
game in center, OuUumping the Nir'
ginia center and caging three baskets tC
w. Rixey's none.
Fury shoots Two Baskets.
Tug" Fury replaced whalen In the
latter part Of the second half, anc
promptly threw two baskets. both being
difficult shots. Lanigan took out his en-
tire team with bH seven minutes &c
play and put in fresh men, but the
Hilltoppers were going at n fast clip
and nothing could stop them. GIL re-
placed E. Rixey and brought the score
up to 1s, from Il, by caging the ball with
a long toss from the center OF the
floor.
Virginia's backs seemed lost playing
the speedy Georgetown forwards, as time
and again Waldron or whaIen would
break away from the field and go down
the floor, only to shoot for the basket
and have the ball roll around the edge
and drop to the floor. Both team had
hard luck shooting, Virginia losing many
goals by being too anxious.
The second and last game between
Virginia and Georgetown will be- played
at Charlottesville, February u
