FROM GALLAUDET
Buff and Blue Quint Is Defeat
ed In Close Game by
Brooklanders.
TRACY In THE LIMELIGHT
Proves to Be Star Of Contest-Derby,
of Catholic University, Has
Nose Rebroken.

Gallaudet's basketball club made a
game fight against the Catholic Univer-
sity outfit last night in the Kendall Green
gymnasium, but the BrOoklanders proved
too fast for the Bun and Blue. and cap
tured a game replete with fancy shots
and hard play. % to -
That the Brooklanders did not roll up
a larger score than they did was due to
the great defensive work Of Rockwell,
who, although playing a forward posi-
ton. was in every play, and time and
again broke up weIl-timed and executed
passes.
The Catholic University club looked
mighty good. far better than was ex-
pected, and Coach Rice can rest as
sured Of having another classy aggrega-
ton of basket shooters before the close
of the season. The defensive playing Of
Derby and Cartwright WAS OF the best.
while Tracy proved himself to be a star
in a forward position.
Early In the second half the Catholic
University club suffered its biggest loss,
when Derby. the great guard. fell. and
broke a bone in his nose. AS Derby was
wearing a head harness when he fell to
protect his nose, which was broken last
year. II was a surprise that the old in
jury was broken again Derby will hard
~ be able to play again this year. and
his loss will be big handicap to the
Brooklanders. He fell fiat on his face,
and the bone was snapped again.
Gallauoet was leading at the end of the
first half, q to Il. but soon after the
start of the final chapter. the Brookland-
ers got going. and then swept the Buff
and Blue outfit OF its feet. Keegan re-
placed Derby in this half. and displayed
a good knowledge Of the game. Keegan
