Catholic University undoubtedly has one
OF the best basket ball teams in the
south. The manner in which it won from
the Baltimore Medical College last night
dispels any question that might have
been previously raised as to that fact.
So far this season the Brookanders
have lost only two games, and they were
dropped unoer conditions which were very
excusable. The first contest lost was to
the same team which was defeated last
night. It was stated at the time the c. U.
aggregation was defeated in Baltimore
that the chances were it had lost to a
team less strong than itself. The decisive
victory Of last night proved that to be
true. The other defeat was received at
the hands of the Naval Academy five.
which is stronger an any that has rep
resented the school since the sport was
adopted. A better showing was made
against the Navy than has been accom-
plished by the great majority of quints
that have appeared at Annapolis.
In Keegan. Derby and Clancy the
Brooklanders have a trio Of guards who
are very capable. Not only are they able
to cover their men successfully, but they
can play the ball as we'll. The two for
wards. Koran and Mcdonald. are &C.
curate goal tossers, and are fast enough
to worry any pair of guards with their
rapid shifts. Lambert and Donnelly. who
are being used alternately In the center
position, are both creditable players
and are sure to show we'll against any
man they face.
To judge from the work of the team
SO far, 1t certainly appears that the
Brooklanders, for the first time in their
history, are represented by a basket ball
team capable of playing on even terms
with any other quint in the South At
lantic section, barring the Midshipmen.
Horan's work in tossing goals yester-
day was exceptional. The big forward
made good on almost every occasion he
attempted the throw. Also the work of
goals was exceptional. 1t is not often
that a back throws five baskets in one
contest and yet he did that last night.
The boys track team at the Y. NJ. c. A.
will start training Immediately. 1t is
planned that the work for a time shall
consist of a long cross-country hike once
a week and also three evenings Of work
on the indoor track.
There is quite a little material in the
Y NJ. c. A. boys department, and it is
thought that very capable squad will
be developed. GorgOn Law, the former
Y NJ. c. A. runner, is in charge of the
squad.
The game Georgetown had scheduled
for tonight with the University of North
Carolina quint has been called off. The
North Carolina quint was unable to make
all arrangements for the trip and de-
cided to call off the contest it had partly
scheduled.
The next game in which Georgetown
will appear will be that against the St
Johns College quint Of Brooklyn. That
school Is said to be represented by even
IA -
II so, the contest should be worth see
ing. because the players who wear the
Blue and Gray are not likely to perform
in a mediocre manner.
The Maryland Agricultural College
night to meet the Coast Artillery Corps
five. The Farmers will use practically
the same lineup as that which appeared
against the Y. NJ. c. A. last Saturday
night. and 1t is thought that much bet
ter showing will be made this evening
because of the practice had this week
Just what kind Of a team the Artillery
Corps has Is not known. although 1t is
said that 1t is represented by some of the
best amateur players in Baltimore. I'm
be able to put up better exhibition than
they did last week in their opening con-
test. which will likely be shown by the
result Of the game.
Gallaudet is scheduled to meet the Bal
timore City College quint next Saturday
at Gallaudet. The Kendall Green five fig
ures 1t will be able to get away with a
victory in rather an easy fashion. The
team lost to the University of Virginia in
Charlottesville last Saturday. but tina,
was to be expected in view of the fact
that the Orange and Blue is represented
by one Of the strongest quints in its his
tory.
Western High will have a better track
team than has represented it in some
time. Jimmy Mulligan. who is in charge
OF the youngsters. says that he has sew
eral likely looking lads who are very apt
to make good. He is very much pleased
! with the outlook for successful squad.
It is his intention to develop a senior
and junior relay. and also enter several
men in the individual events.
With Mulligan in charge Of a promis-
ing squad at Western. Bill Foley with his
bunch at Central and Gish developing
eighty boys at Tech. there Is sure to be
one Of the most closely contested scho-
lastic meets this season in the history
of the sport here. provided. of course.
