Curry got away from Mcdonald Just
long enough to land a ringer through

points ahead. Then GiOvanona, the husky
captain of the Guards, came down the

In game of basket ball marked by
sensational and spectacular plays, Gal
laudet College defeated George Washing
ton University last night at the Kendall
Green gymnasium the final count being
80 to 30 The contest was the best one
seen at Kendall Green this year. The
records of the teams this winter showed
that both were about evenly matched,
and when they took the floor to start the
battle every player was determined to
play for all he was worth, as the game
was to decide which of the two would have
the right to third place in the race for
the District intercollegiate basket ball
championship.
The score about indicates the compare
tive strength of the teams Both hNes
were experienced and UNDERSTOOD the
game equally well. Gallaudet was a Mt
tie better off in passing, and this maybe
accounted largely for its victory. Inc
George Washington five would often pass
the ball around the floor without sendlns

to be off color in shooting. Its fault was
that it took too many chances at the
basket from the center OF the moor ana
from difficult angles.

Win Brilliant Victory From
Mount St. Joseph's Five.
THE SCORE IS al TO %
NJ. A. c. Quint Shows Its Best
All-Round Form of the
Year.
THE SCORE IS al TO 20

The Maryland Agricultural College
basket ball team secured a complete re-
venge over the Mount st. Joseph's quint
yesterday for the defeat suffered in Bal
tmore three weeks ago. The Farmers
played In brilliant form, completely out
CHASING their opponents from start to
finish in nearly every department of
play. The score was Al to %.
Inc work OF the two teams was eX-
cellent. despite the fact that the Aggies
won by decisive score. Mount st. Jo-
seph's played really better game of
basket ball than it did when it defeated
the Farmers by score of n to =. The
Aggies have shown a vast improvement
since the time they lost to the Baltimore
flve i'll that city In every particular
they looked like a different team yester-
day.
The play of the Aggies guards was the
feature of the game, Day especially do
ing some of the best defensive work ever
seen in College Park. He seemed every
where. and besides blocking innumerable
passes he tossed two goals from difficult
angles. Morris also did some mighty
good work on the defense, and he scored
the majority of the points made by his
team. He made thirteen goals from the
foul line, and secured five from the floor.
The Aggies built their offense around
Cole and Morris, their two best shots,
and these men secured five goals each
from the field.
Farmers Show Good Team Work.
The Farmers really showed we'll as a
team for the first time this year. Their
work in passing was clean cut and would
have done credit to a much more expert
enced bunch of players. They worked
the ball down the floor time after time
with the visiting players Dowerless to
stop the fine play. One thing that aided
the Agg!es much in getting off their
plays well was that Huntemann, at CEN
ter. got the bat off his opponent every
time. and he used quite a little Judgment

basket ball game even until he started
to play just after the holidays
| The Aggies started off as though they
were going to win In the first five
| minutes they had tossed four goals while

| from the foul line. The st. Joseph's
team began to creep up on the local men
until at the end OF the second half it
was behind but two points, the score
| standing II to 10.
| When the second half started the Farm
ers began to play a stronger defensive
game. and so closely did they guard their
| opponents that they allowed but two
goals from the field to be scored against

about the same number of goals as they
