G. U. GOES DOWN
In RED-HOT GAME
Georgetown Captures Basketball
Game in Arcade by
20 to II.

Georgetown took the lead last night IL
| the race for the collegiate championship
Of the District by defeating their rivals
from Brookland. the Catholic University
. to Il. Fast and furious waxed the
contest until It developed into the best
| and fastest game ever witnessed at the
Arcade. II had been rumored that Sam
Foley would quit the basket-caging game
to don the short pants and try his luck
on the cinder path, but had Il not been
for Foley last night Georgetown would
have gotten the worst scare rendered
the five this season. While only caEin.
the ball once, he over made up for tina:
fault by playing the best defensive game
Washington lovers OF the sport have seen
in many days. q
As Referee Hughes called play, both
teams knew that they were in a game
for blood. SchlosSer got the jump on
Lambert, but GeorgetOwn's lead was not
for long. as Mcdonnell. the speedy for
ward Of the Brookland Quint, got the
hall on a long pass from Clancy. and
Catholic University was in the lead by
two points. This was the only time during
the contest the Brooklanders were in the
lead.
On the next toss up Foley got the ball
on the side lines and Gagged IL with ac-
curacy. Whalen followed this up with
two baskets in quick succession. giving
Georgetown lead Of four points.
Schlosser added one more by caging the
ball from the foul line. The score after
ten minutes OF play was TO in favor
OF the Blue and Gray. Horan. the big
forward of the Red and Black team, sent
the ball through the meshes soon after
play started, following the basket up
with another on a long pass which he
received from Rice. Then came the SEN
satiOn of the evening, Whalen getting
the ball soon after the toss up, Gagged II
ending the first half with the score II
to 6 in favor of the Hntoppers.
Second Period.
The second half opened up with Nc
Donnell caging the ball for Catholic Uni
versity. Rice followed suit. SchIosscr
came back for Georgetown with a long
shot. while .Collifiower sent the ball
through the basket shortly afterward.
The unexpected happened then. which re-
suited IN WaIdron taking Foley's place
and Lynch taking McDonnelI's. Rice
went to center for Catholic University,
Trumbun taking Rice's place at guard.
This change seemed to affect the Brook
land team, as they went to pieces on
teamwork. Waldron inaugurated his ap-
pearance by caging the ball from near
the side lines. Rice. on the toss up. got
the oval and by clever dribbling man
aged to get the ball in the basket.
On a pass from the out side by Wal
dron to Heiskel, Georgetown scored
again. Trumbull added two points to the
total of the Red and Blacks score when
he Gagged the ball while uncovered.
Schlosser aided his team by throwing the
ball through the basket. which was fol-
lowed up by Rice, for the losers, with q
shot hard TO duplicate. With a man on
his back, Rice lifted up with his back
toward the basket and heaved the ball
through the strings. Schlosser added a
few more points by. caging the ball from
the foul line three times and ended the |
game with q toss from the side lines. |
