MUCH INTEREST IS SHOWN
IN BASKET BALL CONTESTS
Colleges and Schools Are Supporting the Sport
More Literally Than Heretofore
Georgetown Loses Again.

/ TO appear LII fact, the team has not
Yet begun practice. and Will not until
after the holidays. when the players re-
turn to school. The work of the men
viii necessarily be Handicapped because
of lack of suitable training quarters at
present. and there is no doubt that the
team will be apt to suffer reverses at

pected that a temporary place tof prac-

The Georgetown University Quint may
not win game on its present TRIP anu
the probabilities are it will not unless IL
plays better basket ball than it has Yet
shown. 1t has lost both the games played
and it has yet to face even stronger
teams. 1t is probable that neither ford-
ham nor Seton Hall is as capapie as the
CUNTS which represent New York Uni
versity and St. Johns of Brooklyn. The

the number of games that they nave
and 4 has been disrupted by having to
play without its most dependable per-
former.
To judge by the accounts OF the game.
it would appear that Kelly did the best
work for the Hilltoppers last night. He
is given credit for having played excel
lent ball though Waldron must have
been above the average also.
The best of judgment was not shown
by the Georgetown management in ar
ranging four such hard games right at
the stars OF the season. 1t must have
been realized that the Blue and Gray
could not do it's best work without being
in good condition, and that il would not
be in shape TO play four such contests
in succession before II had fairly begun
practice was certain from the start. That
ing 70 play two or three of the hardest
games OF the season in the first three
weeks 1t is something that cannot be
done with success.
Something of what Georgetown has
been up against is shown by the fact
that the New York University quint had
played seven games before it came down
here to meet the Blue and Gray. and 1t
is probably true that the other teams
the local quint is playing have taken
part in just as many contests. IL must
not be expected that a five which had
met only one team, and that a mediocre
combination. could accomplish victories
over aggregatioHs in almost midseas on
form And yet that is just what the
team has mad to contend with.

Murphy would not admit that he was
after any player in particular from the
Reds. but did admit that he had the
long-distance conversation. The CONVEX
sation started with Garry Hermann on
the line. and the first question the Cub
boss asked Of the head of the Reds was:
How long is Herzos going to be
there" This query nettled the rotund
Garry and he allowed his ire to rise for

he had reference to how long the new
manager was going to remain i'll Cincin-

stay as manager of the Reds.

tween Hermann and Ebbets of the
