Two of the local college basket ball
teams are scheduled to play tonight. Gal
laudet will appear on it's home floor
against the Baltimore City College quint,
and the Maryland Aggies will go to Bal
timore. where they will meet the five rep
resenting Mount st. Joseph's.
Gallaudet should be able to get away
with the contest with the Baltimore City
College The Kendall Greeners, while
they have not had a successful season SO
far as games won and lost are concerned.
have been playing fast quints. ones that
are out of the class. The City College five.
though. should not be able to do any
more against them than make a credita-
BILE showing.
Just what the Maryland Aggies will
accomplish against the Mt. st. JOsephs
oupt is a question. The Farmers have
been showing improvement, but the teams
they are meeting started play before the
holidays. a decided disadvantage to the
College Park men. who did not begin
practice until three days before they
PLAYED their first game. better show
ing was made IN Baltimore against the
Coast Artillery Corps quint than was ac-
complished the Saturday before and there
is every possibility that the work OF the
today. 80
Besides the two college teams that will
play there will be two local contests OF
interest The Young Mems Christian As
sOciatiOn will meet the West Branch
team from Baltimore and the AloySluS
Club will go against the Georgetown col
legians i'm the regular city league game
The local association quint should be
able to get away with a victory over the
Baltimore five. if its showing in Its re-
cent games is to be taken as a criterion
of it's strength. The Y. NJ. c. A. men
have one OF the fastest aggregatiOnS In
their history, and they do not hesitate to
say that they expect to make up for the
defeats sustained i'm the series with the
West Branch players last fall.
The -Collegians and Aloysius should
played between those teams resulted in
a very close score. OF course, 1T Is TO
be considered that the clubmen were not
in as good condition then as now and
have probably improved to a greater eX-
tent than have the Georgetown men, 1t
would be difficult to pick a winner, al
though the AloySius veterans would ap-
pear to have slight advantage, if there
really is any.
The Georgetown Preps defeated the
Business High quint yesterday in a match
that was surprising. 1t had been thought
that the Stenographers had the fastest
scholastic quint in the city. The Preps
had not played this season. and, although
they won the championship last year,
were hardly being considered. After the
defeat handed out to Business yesterday,
a new view must be taken of the Sltua-
ton. 1t is probable that the Blue and
Gray youngsters will come near winning
the best right to the title again.
Jack Haas will referee the Gallaudet-
Baltimore City College game tonight. 1t
will make the seventh time he has OFF,
ciated in games this week. and in each
instance perfect satisfaction has been
given Haas has been conducting games
here since the early fall. and his work
has been exceptionally good. There has
not been contest in which he has not
given satisfaction.
Haas has had a great deal of expert
ence in basket ball. Not only has he
played professionally, but he has also
done much work in coaching teams. He
mas been successful, as profess
sional player and manager and as a
coach. AS referee, Haas handles his
game and asks no odds His work has
been impartial and of a character which
caused one onlooker to say: That fellow
out there certainly knows how to run a
basket ball game"
The Eastern High quint came to the
front yesterday in a manner that was
totally unexpected and got away with
the Cathedral five in the regular contest
in the scholastic league. The Light Blue
and White won by margin of only two
points, but even that was not looked for
Eastern has not shown the strength this
season which would cause it to be COM
pared with Cathedral, and it was never
thought that ii would be able TO get away
with the Mount St. Adams five.
st. Johns five gave the WASHINGTON Col
Iege quint a trimming yesterday that
was about as bad as the one administered
to the Eastern Shore aggregation in foot
ball by the same institution. ST. John s
beat Washington College by score OF
something like Is to last Thanksgiving
day. and yesterday won in basket ball
by tally of So to 10.
The Washington polo five handed out
the worst beating of the year last night
to the Baltimore team 1t played. The
Arcade aggregation was entirely too much
