Kendall Green Quint Has Advan-
tage of Two Goals Over
AdverSaries.

In battle royal in the Kendall
Green gymnasium last night Gallaudet
defeated George Washington's basket
ball team, 3S to 80. 1t was the closest
contest which either team has played
this season and the score indicates very
we'll the strength of the contenders.
Gallaudet was off to an early lead in
the first half and were leading George
Washington with but few minutes re-
naming by eight points. The Hatchet-
ties braced and Gagged four goals which
put them on even terms with the home
team. The advantage in the next half
went back and forth, one team taking
the lead. only to be overcome by the
other: Gallaudet proved the more ag-
gressive as play went on and finished
with Just two goals ahead.
In Battiste and Rockwell, the win
ners had pair of players which aided
them wonderfully. They were ever in
the game and were the strongest par
ticipants In the contest. Noonan per-
formed best for George Washington.
