SHOULD PLAY
GREAT GAME
Georgetown-V Virginia Basket
Ball Contest Should Be
Best in Years.
VIRGINIA is AT A
SLIGHT DISADVANTAGE
In Having to Meet Catholic u.
Friday Night-Western to
Run Episcopal.
BY H. C. BYRD.

The Georgetown-V Virginia basket bal
game Saturday should be one of the
greatest contests ever played on a local
floor. Georgetown is in excellent condi-
ton. and Virginia will be pointed to win
from the Hilltoppers if there is any posi-
bic chance to do so. While the South
Atlantic championship is not at stake.
that will not cause the two quints to
strive the less when pitted against each
other.
There is a possibility that Georgetown
will be considerably weakened for the
game, although it is not likely. There
are several of the men who are out of
the game for the remainder of the year
unless they can pass one or two con
ditions they have received in the class
room. These men did not even report
for the game last night with Nj. A. G.,
and they VIII devote the remainder OF the
week to reviewing their work in order
that they may he able to pass an eNami-
nation they to receive Saturday
morning. 1t will not be known whether
or not they will be eligible to play until
that time.
1t is certain though, that if the entire
team is eligible TO represent the Blue and
GRAY one of the hardest and most evenly
fought basket ball games that has ever
taken place here will be the result or the
meeting between the two quints Saturday.
Virginia won from Georgetown in the
game in which they met at Charlottes-
vile, but the margin was so small that
it was probably only that which came to
it because of it's familiarity with the
floor This time that condition Will be
reversed and Georgetown VIII nave the
margin.
Also, there will be another margin that
will come to Georgetown this time. and
that is the fact that Virginia will DE
compelled to meet the Catholic Cnlver-
sity in what will likely prove to be q
grueling contest the evening previous.
That will not leave Virginia in as good
shape as it might be if it did not have
to meet the BrooXanders. But even at
that it will put forth it greatest effort
against the Blue and Gray
While Campbell, one of Nirginias crack
guards. will not be in against Catholic
University, it is certain that he will play
against Georgetown The full strength
or the Orange and Blue will be used In
any contest in which 1T figures with the
local institution.
1t should be a game worth seeing.
The MARYLAND Aggies failed to give
Georgetown more than a good workout
last night Once in awhile they would
show flashes of form, but they could not
consistently check the Blue and Gay
bunch for any length of time. The moor
was much larger than the Farmers are
used to playing on. anu tneN seemed ioSl
lot of the time, as the Blue and Gray
team played one of the best passing
games they have showed this season.
There was one noteworthy feature to
the pay of the Georgetown quint. That
was the throwing of goals from foul
by Campbell His losses We're very ac-
curate He not only made nine out of his
ten attempts. but nearly every time the
bal went through the net without touch
ing the rings.
The Carroll Institute will hold ten-mile
run February 22. 1t will take place on
the afternoon OF the day of the George
Washington meet. The race will be held
/ under the sanction of the Amateur Attn
letic Union Every effort will be put
forth by the members of the club to make
he affair a success. Subscriptions have
been asked for medals. the club stand
ing for all the expenses. The course Will
! be as follows: Starting on 10th street at
TIE Carroll Institute, the men will go
out to Massachusetts avenue, thence to
J Connecticut avenue, out Connecticut ave-
| nue. to the bridge, then to Chevy Chase:
| they will turn the circle at that point
! and return over the same route to the
4, Carroll Institute.
| 1t is thought that a fairly large entry
| list will be secured. 1t may be that the
event will be hurt somewhat by some OF
the men refusing TO run in the afternoon
when they will have to compete in the
| long-distance event in the George Wash
tnSton games at night And also the
suspension of the Memorial Athletic Club
men will take from the race fourteen or
! fifteen entries. Even at that, though.
it is figured that the event will be sue
cesSful.
| peculiar condition of affairs with ref

| suspended for running i'm the Memorial
Athletic Club run has arisen. Warner
Curley was one of the participants in the
| event and he WAS suspended. 1t happens
| that Curley's registration in the A. a.
