The Catholic University basket ball
team has begun practice. The BROOK
landers will not do any very hard
work as yet, but preliminary stunts
will be gone through until the men get
in condition to do some rough playing
Wake Forrest has reconsidered its
decision not to play Gallaudet this Sat
urday in Raleigh and has so informed
the management of the Kendall Green
eleven. The contest will take place in
Raleigh as per agreement.
The shift made in the Georgetown
eleven will undou.,ed make a stronger
combination to send against Virg MIA
than that which went in against Carlisle.
The Blue and Gray should have more
powerful offense and better defense
than have been shown at any time this
year. Fury is an excellent broken-field
runner, and Dunn was the best line
breaker in the south last year. The work
Of these two men should greatly improve
the offensive. Also the fact that Pc
tritz will play at tackle should mean that
that side of the line should be much
stronger, giving the team more evenly
balanced set of forwards. 1t would be
difficult to find two better running half
backs than Fury and Costello.
These two men stand in class by
themselves in this section in that re-
spect and they will be mighty hard to
stop. That they will do a great deal of
ground gaining is certain. 1t is also note
worthy that Fury has always been one of
the big factors in the winning of the
games with Virginia each year In 1910
and 1911 he was a very great factor

any other man. His work has been bril-
liant at times in each season he has
been at Georgetown, and he and Costello
should make as good a pair of running
backs as could be desired. These two,
with Dunn and Murray, should constitute
just as capable backtield. II not more

that which beat Virginia in that year.

should result in a very interesting contest
from local standpoint. While the Ken
dali Green eleven has shown itself to be
a whole lot stronger than the Brookland-
ers. the latter think they would be able
to do much better against it than would
be supposed on the strength. of the show
ing in the contests already played.
There is one respect in which Knode,
who plays quarterback for the Mary
land Aggies. excels any other quar-
terback in this section. the handling
of punts. The youngster is almost a
marvel at catching a foot bail. No
matter how or where the kick comes
he is under it and he never misses. 1t
is questionable If he has fumbled a
punt in the two years he has been a
member of the team.
