GUARDS PLAY
WINS FOR C. U.
Wonderful Work of Foley and
WetZeII Gives HiIItopers
Victory Over Bucknen.
A. A. U. MEN NOT TO
COMPETE IN GAMES
Even Barred From Closed
Event in National Guard
Meet Tonight.
BY II. G. BYRD.

The great work of the GEORGETOWN
guards won the final basket ball game of
the season for the Blue and Gray last
night. There is not one particle Of
doubt that had it not been for the Won
derful playing Of Foley and Wetzel
Georgetown would not have had a victory
to It's credit as a result of the last meet
ing scheduled for the year.
Throughout the entire season the Blue
and Gray guards have played exceptional
games and their work last night was not
in the least bit inferior to that shown
in other contests. Time after time 1t
would appear that q Bucknell man would
either Foley or Wetzell was upon him so
quickly that he would not have the least
chance Of making an accurate toss
Foley's work was almost. If not quite,
as good as it was in the Princeton game.
and that IL saying a great deal. In that
contest the New York boy played one
of the greatest games ever seen on a
local foor,s and last night his work did
vious exhibition. Wetzell played the
same kind of game he always does,
only 1t seemed to he q little above the
average. Working hard all the time and
playing steadily, he kept his man COW
cred and did some very clever work on
the offense at times.
1t was the fine play of the guards that
gave the Hilltoppers the victory in the
last game Of their schedule.
The winning Of the contest last night
meant much to Coach Colli1ower and
the rest OF the team. Bucknell won from
Georgetown rather easily last year in the
fnal game, and there was a determined
effort to finish in front in order that the
loss of 1912 might be retrieved.
The game was tribute to the sticking
ability of the Blue and Gray players.
Their work was excellent from all
standpoints. although they did not per-
form up to the standard set against
Princeton, Playing during almost the en-
the Hilltoppers came back and did some
very brilliant work in the last few min
utes OF play that scored enough points to
win. Bucknell led In the scoring until
in the closing moments of the contest,
and 1t appeared that the HilltOppers were
going to suffer defeat.
A mistake was made In these columns
two days ago, when 1t was stated that a
man registered in the Amateur Athletic
Union would be able to compete in the
closed events in the National Guards
meet without being liable to suspension.
1t was stated this morning that any man
giving an exhibition or competing in any
manner In the games. II not held under
A. A. U. sanction, could be suspended
without question.
Attention is called to the following
paragraph from the code OF rules govern
ing the Amateur Athletic Union:
Amy person competing or exhibiting at
open sports, or any athletic entertain
ment that is not given under the sane
ton of the Amateur Athletic Union or Of
one of It's allied members. shall thereby
sports given under sanction Of the Anna
teur Athletic Union"
This means that any man who takes
part in the games tonight will be sus-
pended. Not only will a person that is
registered under the Amateur Athletic
Union not be allowed to take part in the
games, but he will not be eligible to COM
pete in the closed events, without being
suspended.
