AND GRAY MAY
CANCEL BASKETBALL
Suitable Floor Cannot Be OBJ
tanned at Present and
Games May Be Called Off.

Although candidates have been or
dered to report for practice and Man
ager Conroy has already arranged an
extensive schedule, il is not improbable
that Georgetown University win not be
winter. as trouble Is being experienced
in finding floor suitable for stageing
intercollegiate games.
In recent years the Hilltop quint has
played all of its hoaae games at the
as several changes have been made at
the amusement place It appear doubt
ful whether Manager Conroy will be
able to secure permission to resume the
now being held on the old skating and
basketball floor, and, although arrange
ments may be made, prospects do not
look particularly bright at the present
time for the West End basket tossers.
The Ryan gymnasium on the Hilltop
has not a sufficient seating capacity TO
warrant its use for intercollegiate
games and even IL it had, il is too far
removed from the business section to
be utilized for that purpose. Negotia-
tions are under way for the use of
other floors in the downtown section
of the city, but chances are that if the
use of the Arcade floor is refused. that
the great winter sport will be stricken
from the list of athletics, INDUCED in
by the Hilltoppers. for the present year
at least.
II the Blue and Gray school fails to
put quint in the field. il will be the
first time in many years that the Hill
toppers' have failed to send a fast, ag
gressiye five out after the basketball
championship of the South Atlantic sec
ton, and their absence is likely to af-
feet the interest in the game, that has
been growing steadily during recent
years. in this part of the country.
Despite the fact that the situation
looks dubious, Captain Foley will con-
tinue to have his men practice regularly,
and it may be that some out of town
games will be played, even though it is
impossible TO play games at home. Ex-
Captain Waldron, Harry Kelly, Wetzell.
and the majority of last years squad
are still available, and prospects for a
fast quint are very bright so it is sin
cerely TO be hoped that the Blue and
Gray lads will find suitable floor. IL
not, Captain Foley and Waldron have
represented Georgetown for the last
time on the basketball floor as both will
be graduated from the West End school
in June; Waldron with an enviable rec
ord for three years service, and Foley
with a fine reputation acquired during
the campaigns of 1872 and last year.
