catholic University should win from
the Trinity College quint tonight bv a

SHOWS better form than il did last night
( against Georgetown. the BrookIanders
VIII get away with the contest by a b-
score
Trinity was about the poorest team that
mas played here this year In tho first
pace ii did not know the game and
then it id not show any Of the qualities
! OF individual play that go with tho sue
cessful qunt. Its shooting for tho baskcf
Was very poor. In fact the majority or
chances It took at making goals in the
, first half We're at random
There WAS lust one feature of the plav
of the visitors worth noticing: that was
the throwing OF goals from the foul line
by Siier. the left forward. He did moi
miss more than two during the entire
evening. and eight times he placed the
/, ball through the net His work I'm that
department was more accurate than has
been that of any other player on a local
court this season.
The Trinity team did we'll in tho second
half after GEORGETOWN had substituted
several players for the regulars. The
Blue and Gray five did not work we'll at
all in that period. several of the men
being unaccustomed to the positions in
which they We're placed

No count was kept of the fouls COM

but II is certain that he had enough regis
tered against him to put him out of the

the question. Nearly every time the bail
was tossed i'm the center he fouled either
With one Of his knees or arms. Besides
that he WAS continually holding. and once
or twice he started TO begin a wrestling
match.
After Jim Collifower sent in team Of
substitutes last night the play of the
men ceased as far as smooth work was
concerned. Something seemed to he
wrong. there being absent the sureness
and confidence that have characterized
the play of the men during the season.
When Campbell was taken out of the GEN.
ter position and Marum sent in to take
his place the Trinity man got the bat
off to his players every time. Conse-
quently the Blue and Gray failed 10 work
signals at any period and all they could
do was to recover the ball and play il.
At times the Trinity men covered very
closely. and at others they did some fair
passing. But failure to keep after
their men and an inability to handle the
ball cleanly did away with an advantage
that might have accrued had the work
been consistent
The ten-mile run TO be held by the
Memorial Athletic Club this afternoon
will be the first open distance race OF
the year. The race is being held without
the sanction of the Amateur Athletic
Union, but whether or not that Will prove
an advisable action will not be known
until after the results are seen
The basket ball game scheduled to be
played today between the Maryland Ag-
sies and the George Washington quint
has been Cancelled by the latter institu-
ton. The attempt on the part of the for
mer to arrange contest with Gallaudet
met with failure.
The Washington Soccer Foot Ball Club
is scheduled to meet the Sons OF st
George tomorrow afternoon on the Rose
dale Fairgrounds. The game will start at
40.
The Friends School basket ball team OF
this city will meet the Friends School
quint of Baltimore this afternoon The
contest viii be the first of q series be-
tween the two institutions The next
game will take place in Baltimore Feb
ruary 10
Although Curley and Campbell Will he
the last two men to leave their marks in
the run being held this afternoon by the
Memorial club il is believed that one %
that pair Will finish i'm front Curlcy VIII
start from scratch and Campbell VIII
have twenty-five seconds handicap. Thes.
two men are very evenly matched and il
is thought that they will finish very close.
1t would not be surprising to see them
end neck and neck, almost.
