George Washington is to open its
basket ball season tonight with game
against the quint representing Loyola
College of Baltimore. The Hatchetites
claim they have one of the strongest
teams that have ever represented them,
and that they are due to have a very
successful year. The contest will take
place in the National Guard gymna
SUM.
Loyola defeated George Washington
last winter in both contests which the
two teams played, but just the oppo-
site is looked for tonight by the local
institution. Three members of the
| team of last year are back in the line
up. while the two new men are more
capable than any the institution has
had since it rejuvenated the sport. with
| one possible exception. Hall and Hoppe
are the players who will be seen In
the lineup for the first time. both
having been star players for the Y. NJ.
{. A. Hall is brilliant forward, While
Hoppe undoubtedly is one of the most
capable all-round players in the south
The quint will line up as follows:
Hoppe, center: Hall and Almon. for
wards: Shaver and Grossbeck, guards.
That these men make formidable
combination is not denied. a combina-
ton which should make Il splendid
record against the other clubs in this
SECTION.
Catholic University and Gallaudet are
printing for the contest tomorrow
night. and each is working desperately
to get it in shape for what probably
will be one of the hardest games of the
year for both. Gallaudet will have
great advantage in being in it's own
gymnasium, which particularly bothers
teams not used to it,
Neither team will be in the best shape
possible. according to authoritative
statements. Catholic University will

the Gallaudet forwards, Mellis, will not

Culligan, quarterback of the Business
High eleven last fall, has been chosen
to lead the team in 1915. At meet
ing of the letter men yesterday Guilt
gans election was unanimous. Brief
addresses We're made by Principal
Allan Davis, Coach White and others.
Culligan should make good leader.
The consensus of opinion was that
the eleven of 1914 was the best ever
developed at the school and that next
, years prospects arc very good. Only
two or three players will be lost off the
squad and, while they have been very
capable, it is felt they can be replaced.
1t has been determined that the Uni
versity of Virginia will not play any
foot ball games on territory other than
the home grounds of one of the con-
testants. There has been q growing
demand for the Virginia eleven to meet
those of other institutions on neutral
territory. in order that friends of the
school might the in
Wishing to make it plain that this
could not be done, and to give a solid
reason for refusing, the faculty passed
resolution which forbade the team
other school unless on the home
grounds of one of the institutions, the
contest with North Carolina University
at Richmond being barred
