GORMAN'S WISE MOVE
Win City Championship Be Decided
This Year?-campbell Shows
Big Improvement.

For the nrSt time IN the history OF
Gsorgetown's basketball team the dark
green of Dartmouth will be seen here.
Manager Madigan. of the Blue and Gray
quint, has arranged a game with the
New Hampshire boys, TO be played at the
Arcade in the near future. This will be
one of the best games Of the year, as
the boys from up North have reputa-
tion Of being real bas<et-ballers. Coach
Jim Collihower will prime his men for
this contest, as he would like to have
big green scalp hanging from George
towns belt. BY the time that Dart
y mouth plays here they will have played
nearly all OF the big colleges, and this
game Will give the fans chance 10
compare the Blue and Gray quint with
all of the college teams in the Norm
Yale has been substituted in place OF
Manhattan College on Georgetown's
schedule this year. This was learned
Just lately and came as a surprise TO
most OF, the players. Thinking that a
game with the Dark Blue was out OF
the question, the boys had about given
up hope of going to New Haven, but
Coach CoIIIfower and Manager Madigsn
got together, and between them they ar
ranged a game with Yale.
= Manager German. of the George
washington basketball team, made
ten-stroke when he landed Schlosser for
coach. While rather late in the season
for getting a coach, the Buff and Blue
team will profit greatly by having such
a man as '.Schlitz" to teach them the
fine points of the game. Schlosser has
played long enough to know the outs
and ms of the basket tossing game,
and he undoubtedly will bring out the
good points in the George Washington
team.
As was stated exclusively in this col
umn not long ago that the fans of the
District would be surprised at the way
Campbell, the Georgetown center,
PLAYED in the next game, was brought
to light in the Princeton contest when
the lanky one Gagged the ball five times
and played a fine defensive game. II
was stated after the Mount st. Joseph's
game that Campbell was a good de-
fensive player but had no eye for the
basket He seerGs TO have overcome this
handicap and is playing the game or
his life for the Blue and Gray.
ARRANGEMENTS are being made by Prof.
Beckett with the Lynchburg, Richmond.
and Martinsburg basketball quints to play
in this city. II this plan goes through
the fans Of the District will see the
cream of the Southern cities stack up
against the Y. NJ. c. A. boys. Lynch
burg for a goodly number of years has
held the championship of Virginia and
it would not come as surprise II they
repeated this season
Billy Walk, who started the season
playing center for the Georgetown team,
but who was replaced by Campbell,
has gone back to the Y. NJ. Z. A, where
he will be given a trial at center posi-
ton. Hoppe, who held down the position.
he shit cd m
where he has always played.
The first big game of the season will
be played at the Arcade Monday night,
when the Georgetown qufnt lines up
against the New York University five.
This game without doubt will be Bit
terly fought from start to finish. and
when the victor is announced they will
have known that they have been in a
game New York University may be
weakened to some extent, as they played
heavy Saturday.
Another Charlie Allen has been I'M

This youngster has been playing crack
eriack game for the association boys
since the start of the season, and with
a little experience will give the older
members of the team rub for first

Another game which promises to be
one Of the fastest and most interest
ing contests that will be witnessed on
local courts this year will be between the
Georgetown quint and the st. Johns
College team from Brooklyn, n. Y. This
team has the reputation of having the
best all-around team work of any team
in the country. Not alone have the boys
from Brooklyn good team work, but
many good eyes for the basket will be
found in their ranks. All Of their play
ers are fast and aggressive, and 1t was
with difficulty that the lads from the
Hilltop were able to make good show
ing last season.
Will the city championship be decided
this year? That is the question that all
OF the fans are asking. To do this.
Georgetown. Catholic University, and
Gallaudet will have to meet and the win
ner Will have to meet the winner or the
Washington City League. II Georgetown
is the winner, how can they play the
winner of the City League IL they are
barred from playing against athletic
clubs. At present no games have been
scheduled between Georgetown and
Catholic University or Gsllaudet, but the
managers OF two of these teams have
signified their intention of trying to ar
range games with each other. ~
All the managers of teams in the City
League have expressed their intention
of trying to arrange a game with the
best college team If their team is winner
in the City League. A series OF this
sort would prove a big money-making
scheme and would decide at the same
time the city supremacy.
From the bright prospects ahead, the
Golfers Of the Georgetown basketball
team will be overfiowing this year. with
inauguration coming the management
tried to land the Princeton team here
on the Sd of March. but was unsuccessful
in their attempt and had to take Swarth-
more instead. Swarthmore has one OF
the best teams in the country and with
the crowd that the Inauguration attracts
10 this city and with such card as
Georgetown VS.. Swarthmore for the I'd,
there is no reason why the basket
ball team should fall oenind IN the
Inoney-making game. Right on top OF
this the Blue and Gray manager ar
ranged game with the Susquehanna
quint for the 9Th of March. There will
be enough of a--crowd left to help MI
the Georgetown money-bag. so taken as
q money-making process. the Blue and
Gray team ought to clear expenses for
the season on these two games
