Orange and Blue Quint Shows Eff

olic University.

Georgetown gained a creditable victory
over Its most formidable rival last
night at the Arcade, winning by the
score of 26 to 10 in a. game that was ex-
citing in spots, but was listless and
lacked team work by both qulnts. The
fact that Rixey and Gill showed the ef-
feet of their hard game with c.. L. was
probably the reason why Virginia q
work was so poor. Georgetown showed
streaks of rather brilliant work, but in
in the main It did not play the game as
well as it has done several times In the
past.
Campbell, WetZel and Kelly played bril-
liantly at times and it was through their
great work that Georgetown was able to
win out.
The game was cleanly played through
out and very few fouls We're called, both
teams playing d careful game.
Campbelfs great work this season
for Georgetown stamps him as one Of
the best centers in the south. He did
not report until after the season had
opened, and after having several
chances at the position he showed such
good form that he easily beat out all
other contenderS for the place He is
a good jumper. dead shot from under
the basket and has good luck in shoot
ing from distance. On the defense
he is a tower of strength, and is quick
to get away when his team gets hold
of the ball. When the South Atlantic
quint is chosen he will surely have to
be considered for the pivot position.
Gill, the fast forward on the Virginia
five, is one of the greatest basket ball
player i'll the south. He is sure shot
and to keep him from scoring it would
be necessary for one man to do moth
ing else but guard him at all times
for If he is once let loose it would
mean that the scorer might as Well
tally up two points, for he is bound
10 get the ball and sure to score. To
stop him guard would have to COM
nit many infractions of the rules, but
that would be better than to let him
tally TWO points from the field. In
choosing the South Atlantic team he
should be the choice o. all the critics,
for he has been the sensation IN basket
tall so far this season. Put Gill and
