lie Cathollc I University basket
ball team won from the quint rep
resenting Trinity College last
night by the score OF $ to p.
The game WAS poor exhibition.
1T being marred continually bv
fouls on both sides and generally
poor play on the part OF the visit
ing five.
1t was a contest in which one
team greatly outclassed the other.
and which was absolutely devoid
OF features except for the number
OF goals tossed from the foul line.
1t is seldom that any basket ball
game is played in which both
teams get as many goals from
penalties as were registered bv
{. |. and Trinity LIN the first
half Siler had twelve chances to
make good on fouls that were
committed BIZ the BrooklanderS.
and he sent the ball into the net
ten times. Mcdonald missed
more chances than did Siler. but
he Gagged the ball seven times in
the opening period. In the sec
ond half C. |. did not foul 80
much, and Siler got but five free
losses into the basket McDon-
old made six goals from fouls in
this halt Fifteen points on one
side and thirteen on the other just
about makes a record for the num-
Der of goals thrown from the fiji
teen-foot mark this season.
All Goes c. US Way.
The ball had not been i'm play more
than five minutes when it was seen that
it would he all Catholic University. The
Brooklanders. while they did not do much
scoring i'm the early moments of the con-
test. worked the ball down under the
basket continually, and il WAS due to
their inability to get il i'm that they could
not register more points. Time after time
a {. L. man would have the ball with a
clear shot from a point of advantage and
il would be missed. On the contrary, the
visitors could not get chance TO throw
a goal from a good position. The guard
ing of the Red and Black players was too
close for the visitors TO accomplish much
with their poor offense. and as they were
exceptionally poor shots. they got only
one goal from the field during the entire
twenty minutes of play.
Trinity played a cleaner game against
the Catholic University quint than il did
against Georgetown. While it committed
many fouls in both contests, it did not
go after the Brooklanders in as helter-
SHELTER manner was the case in the
contest Friday night.
The work of Siier, left forward of the
Trinity five. was about the best that has
been seen here in a long while i'm tossing
free goals. He Gagged the ball fifteen
times from the foul line, and his tossing
was of the clean-cut variety. that was al
most perfect. He was exceptionally ac-
curate in his work, and many times he
brought out applause by the clever losses.
1t was about the only department in
which any of the MEN showed equality
with the local players.
Koran did a lot of accurate shooting
from the floor for the c. L. team I'm the
Srst half. He threw five goals and sew
eral of them We're from difficult positions.
Derby also did some good work I'm shoot
ing goals in the first period. although the
losses made by him We're not from as dif-
;icult angles. White was the only Trinity
man to score a goal from the floor in this
period.
Local Men Slow Up.
While the local men practically ran
away from the visitors during the first
half they slowed somewhat in the Sec
ond and failed to show great a mar
gin i'm the comparison of their play In
the opening period the Brooklanders ran
ND a score of thirty-seven points TO
twelve for Trinity, but in the last the
Trinity men did more capable work. be-
cause their opponents were less active.
and managed TO tally fifteen points
against eighteen.
The Catholic University team did not
have to go at its best gait TO win. anG
there was never a time when ii was do!nS
its best. 1t seemed to be playing easily
all during the contest Even when ii ha.:
things going its own way in the iirst
half ii did not appear to be working very
hard.
The Brooklanders had a guard play
that they worked continually. and the
Trinity team did not seem 10 be able to
get on to IL at all. The forward simply
moved up and took the ball from the
center and made short pass In the
guard, who came down the floor anu who
dribbled the ball the remainder Of the
way to the basket before making the
shot More goals were thrown in this
manner than were allowed, as fouls Were
committed either I'm dribblng or in taking
too many steps with the bali.
