! The Georgetown basket ball team .will
not play the two games it has scheduled
with northern teams tonight and tomor-
row. The Hlltoppers We're booked to
meet F'ordham tonight, and Manhattan
College tomorrow, but the trip will not
be taken.
| 1t was announced at Georgetown this
morning that the teams would not take
| the trip for the reason that it was only
allowed two days off and those two days
had already been taken 1t was regretted
that the games had to be Cancelled, but
there was no way to get around the edict
OF the authorities regarding time allowed
| the team away from school duties.
! Had the games been played it is prob
able that Georgetown would have stood
an even chance to win both. The Blue
and Gray five has been going at such
great pace for the last two weeks that it
would stand fair chance of winning
from any of the secondary colleges it
might face, and would not run the risk
of losing by any large score no matter
/ what quint it was to go against
! The next home game for Georgetown
will be the Virginia Military Institute
next Wednesday. The Virginians are
said to have a strong enough team this
| year to make credtabe showing
against any of the southern institutions.
| The next home game to be played by
! the Hilltoppers will be with the Virginia
| Military Institute. Ii will take place
| January 90.
| The Business High and Western High
| quints will meet this afternoon in the
| Y. Nj. {. A. gymna stun in a regularly
| scheduled game in the scholastic league.
| The Stenographers should be able to get
| away with the long end of the score by
a fair margin. They have been showing
much better form than has the Western
| five, and it should not fail to go at it's
| best in the regular series. Western has
| not been able to accomplish much SO far.
! and 1t would be great surprise if it
were to win. With inexperienced play
| ers. Western has not been able to de-
| Veiop as capable five as have the other
schools.
The Business team is probably the best
| team of any kind the Stenographers have
ever turned out There was a base ball
ly more clever than the basket ball team
now, but il SO, the margin is slight.
The roller polo game at the Arcade
tonight should be the most closely con-
tested and the best played of the entire
series. The teams that have heretofore
been coming from Baltimore TO play have
been representing some individual club,
put the one which will be seen in action
tonight against Manager Writings men
Is picked from among the best talent the
/ Maryland city affords. 1t is team
winch VIII represent the city and not
one recruited from the members of one
| organization. The contest will be of the
nature of one between the two cities, in
asmuch as the most capable performers
f, in each will be members of the opposing
| teams.
No Toc
| team is scheduled to come here next week
| to meet the Catholic University quint.
| III comparative scores are to be consd-
| cred, it is hard to try to conjecture as
| to just what will happen. st. Johns Col
| lege of Annapolis won from the Wash
| lngton College aggregation by a score of
| So to 10, and Catholic University in turn
| defeated st. Johns by a margin of about
70 points At that rate the Brooklanders
should win the contest scheduled for next
| Thursday evening by a score OF some
| thing like 100 to 5. OF course that prob
| ably will not be the result of the game,
but the chances are that the local insti-
tuition will come out with victory by
| big difference.
| 1t is reported rather definitely that
| Gallagher, Horter and Terwilliger are
pretty certain to make places on the
Georgetown relay team. Those three men
| have class enough to make good under
almost any conditions if all the things
| that have been said of them are true.
Horter is a splendid lead-off man. while
| the other two men are capable Of making
the best Of college milers go their best
| to exc out victory
| If three places are fairly certain, then
the one position left will be contested for
| by several men. The most prominent of
those who are trying to land places are
! Chapman. Rawlings and Young. Every
| body knows just the kind of runner
| Chapman is; that is. anybody who saw
n nct <l,o IT,
GINA race last year. He is one Of the
! best performers in the south at any dis
lance over quarter mile Rawlings and
Young are local boys, and both are ca
| pable. Young was member Of the Ire
mont Athletic Club. the Gurley Athletic
Club and the Washington Grove A. A.
| With all three organizations he did some
very creditable work, winning many
| of the individual races and taking
part in several relay events. Rawlings
is probably the best quarter miller who
ran for club team last year, especially
on an indoor track. He takes the cor
ncrs almost perfectly, and is able to
make up a lot Of ground on any opponent
| simply by reason of that. 1t may be.
though. that Rawlings will not do well
this year AS is expected. Rawlings has
never done much training, despite the
fact that he has run brilliantly, and run
ming in quarter mile races without train
ing cannot be kept up very long. 1t may
he that running 44O-yard sprints without
will cause Rawlings to fail to show as
well as might be looked for in man
who had previously accomplished so
much.
}. 1t is not probable that two more capable
guards will be seen in the two games in
which Georgetown will play in New York
than those who wear Its colOrs. Foley
) and Wetzell have done brilliant work In
; the games recently played. Against New
York University and St Johns both men
played well as to cause q former Vir-
ginia player to remark that his school
would have to go some to get by those
two fellows, He went further and said
that they We're the two best men he had
j seen playing the back positions this sea-
son.
| Catholic University will get another
chance to show by comparison that 1t
has "a more capable quint than George
town. and the chances are that 1t will
make good The Brookland men are
scheduled to so against Loyola in the
armory gymnasium tomorrow night. and
the chances are that they will get away
with the contest by a fair margin. LO-
yola had absolutely no license to beat
Georgetown. as was shown by the fact
that Gallaudet won from the Baltimore
. team in its own gym. and nobody would
say that Gallaudet has as strong an az.
gregation as has Georgetown.
] Catholic University will likely get away
