Vfrginia's basketball team had little
trouble in defeating the five from Catho-
lie University last night at the Arcade,
winning q rough and tumble battle, 80
20 20.
The Rrooklanders were outplayed by
the Orange and Blue aggregation from
the start and the result was never in
doubt. Catholic University was weak
ened by the absence OF two regulars
Toran and Fred Rice-the former being
sick in bed, while the latter was hob
bling around the floor with a bad ankle.
lad these stars been in the fray, a diff
rerent story might have been told.
Hearns. the fast leader of the Char
lOttesville crew, put up a great game,
being in every scrimmage and fighting
all the time. Nefr also showed up well,
caging four balls from hard shots. The
team work OF the Virginia quint was not
up to the standard set by the fast St
Johns five, who played the greatest
game ever witnessed in Washington in
late years.
Many fouls were called on each team,
Virginia doing most Of the offending, but
the Red and Black basket shooters could
not cage the ball, losing no less than
eleven points by this. Mcdonnell was of
was Clancy and Lamberth. Mcdonnell,
however made up for this by playing
hard throughout, and was in the battle
10 the last.
Lynch Stars for c. L.
Lynch, the lad who played an end OF
the eleven, put up a corking good game
at forward, considering the size Of the
Virginia backs The Red and Black
team was outweighed about fifteen
pounds to the man. the weight of their
opponents often throwing the Brook
landers TO the floor. The game was en-
tirely too rough, and the men suffered
as a consequence. Lynch led his team
with baskets tossed, having four to his
credit.
W. Rixey, VINO played center the first
part OF the game, presented the Red and
Black team with two points, when he
tossed the bah into his own basket. Ne1
practically did the same thing a few
moments later. when he threw the ball
TO Lynch, who tossed IL into the basket
from under the netting.
r. RiXcy. the crack twirler of the
Orange and Blue, showed up well at the
left forward. tossing the ball for a couple
OF baskets and holding his man safe.
The game tonight between the Vir-
Einia quint and Georgetown should prove
10 be fast and exciting, as the Hilltoppers
witnessed the contest last night and are
posted on the Charlottesvillians' style of
play. The Blue and Gray will be weak
ened by the absence of George CoIlifiower.
the big guard, but Manager Fortune is
confident OF handing the five from Vir-
Einia a good beating. The game will be
called promptly at 9 o'clock.
