Georgetown basketball team takes on
Virginia tonight at the Arcade in the
second engagement between these fives
this year. At their last meeting at
Charlottesville, Georgetown dropped the
game to the Southerners by Is to -.
Virginia lost last night to Catholic
University, score. 81 to Il, and is today
resting for tonight's set-to. Coach Col
liflower. of the Blue and Gray outfit.
Will hold light practice in Ryan gym
nasium just before he takes his prote-
ges to the Arcade. The Hilltoppers
have been undergoing constant practice
since last Wednesday. when they made
50 mediocre a showing against Mary
land Agriculture College.
As result Of having defeated Vir-
sinia. one of the most formidable bas-
ketbaH teams in the South. Catholic
University is today being touted as the
fastest quint ever developed at the
Brookland institution, and one of the
speediest fves that has ever been played
on any Washington floor. Certainly, no
game played here this season has ap-
preached last nights conflict in clean
liness and so much display of basket
ball talent.
Best He Has Seen.
After the game Pop" Lannigan. coach
of the Old Dominion quint, said: &C.
u. has the best basketball team have
ever seen in this section. ] figure that
my team lis as good as has ever rep
resented Virginia, but we have to bow
to these Brooklanders. The best hope
10 do now Is TO win from Georgetown
tonight.
Rarely in the largest colleges OF New
England has such superior teamwork
asserted itself as when the Brook
landers battled against Virginia at the
Armory gymnasium last night. But
single instance of rough work was
seen, and both players who figured in
this instance apologfzed profusely.
Late in the first quarter Virginia
nosed ahead of their opponents, but this
advantage was not to be held long. for
< L. went ahead at about the middle
of the second half and held that lead
throughout the remainder OF the con-
test
Right-forward Gill Of Virginia, was
instrumental in taking his quint to the
fore in the early part of the game
Gill picked up many difficult passes
and tossed the ball into the basket al
most at random. In the initial session.
the work of Virginia's guards attracted
the attention OF all. For while {. L.
seemed unable to approach the goal,
but this sturdy defense was soon brok-
en- by the latter's Uhirlwind attack.
Makes Substitutions.
AS soon as Coach Lannigan saw that
the Washington team was edging
ahead he made several substitutions;
and il was considerable of a question
among the spectators as to whether or
not this was responsible for Virginia's
decline.
Individually. the work of Horan and
Mcdonald. left and right forwards, re-
spectively, of the winning team. bear
particular notice. Few of the players
On either failed TO shine at times. but
the above duo were undoubtedly the
stars of the game. For the losers. the
work of Lyman and Churchman were
the notable features. The latter was
substituted at right guard for Camp
bell, who was unable to make the trip
from Charlottesville
