Notwithstanding the fact that it lost
to Princeton last night the Georgetown
University basket ball team made a
showing that was not only creditable,
but which also tends to create the i'm
preston that the Blue and Gray has
about the strongest aggregation that has
ever represented it. That it was able
to play Princeton to as close a score as
id did, and that ona strange floor, after
not having had real practice in about
three weeks, would indicate that the
quints which come here this winter are
going to go up against what is probably
the strongest five in the south.
To judge by the reports, Princeton did
not have great deal on the Blue and
Gray team. The latter played the Tigers
to a standStill during the first half. but
allowed them to jump into the lead by
of the second. The score at the end OF
the first half was % to ID, not a long
margin for big university to have over
a much smaller one, by any means, but
at the start of the second half the
Princeton five got away with four goals
in rapid succession. After that it as
sumed the defensive during the majority
of the time and there was little chance
for Georgetown to make up the ad-
vantage.
that his team did exceptionally we'll I'M
der the circumstances. 1t was reported
that Princeton played its best game of
the year. and the Georgetown tutor stated
that, considering the lack of practice and
the strange floor on which 1t was play
ing his men had put up splendid eX-
hibition against much heavier quint.
From now on the Blue and Gray five
will settle down to hard practice in prep
aration for the difficult schedule which

According to reports Wetzell must have
played a wonderful game for Georgetown
against Princeton last night The Blue
and Gray guard played exceptionally we'll
on the defense and also did some great
work at advancing the ball on the Of
Tense. His all-around performance was
said to be among the best on the Tigers
floor this year.
Also Campbell the new center did
some very creditable work. He not only
was able to keep his opponent from scor-
ing decisively, but he managed to cage
five baskets himself Campbell is much
the best center who has been used by
Coach Colliflower this season.
