Frank Schlosser, former Georgetown
player, who is coaching the George
Washington University basket ball
team, thinks he will turn out one OF
the best quints the school has ever had.
Schlosser has very little veteran
material with which to work. but that
does not deter him in his efforts to
build up a winning combination. Says
Schlosser:
While We do not have much vet
eran material j think We are going to
turn out a good team. The boys have
the fight in them, as you have seen
tonight, and that is enough to carry
Il quint along if there is average in
telligence, and We have more than the
average. These boys have just beaten
Loyola decisively, team which de-
feated US a year ago. Loyola had ex-
actly the same players in its lineup
tonight who made such a fine reputa-
tion for that school last season, and ii

pearance / feel pretty confident of the

George Washington had two new
men in its lineup last night, Bryant.

one weakness, though, handling the
ball. He made repeated fumbIes of
perfect throws. Bryant is an energetic

upon, have been disqualified for awhile
by the faculty.
The George Washington five showed
excellent form against Loyola, and 1t
was very meritorious performance to
defeat that school, The one defect in
the play was poor passing, but that
can be remedied by constant practice.
Almon will again be the star of the
George Washington quint if he keeps
up his work of last night. There are
few more accurate goal shooters in
the south than Almon, and 1t is ques-
tionable If he has a superior when it
comes to tossing goals from the foul
line or from "cinch" shots from the
floor. He Is a star of the first rank
when it comes to scoring. He is fast
enough. too. to keep out of the way

The University Of Virginia obtained
4 date on the Harvard foot ball sched-
ule for next year as well as one with
Yale. The Charlottesville authorities
game last fall that they thought they
would attempt to accomplish even big
ger things. SO arranged a contest with
the Crimson An Associated Press dis
patch of last night states that Har-
ward is considering Virginia for one of
three open dates, but an announcement
of the schedule from Virginia seems to
indicate that the negotiations have
gone far enough to warrant a state
ment that Orange and Blue will make
the journey to Cambridge.
Beside the games with Harvard and
Yale, Virginia will play Richmond Col
lege, Virginia Military Institute, Uni
versity of South Carolina, University
of Georgia, Vanderbilt and North Caro-
lima University. This undoubtedly con-
stitutes one of the hardest schedules
ever played by southern institution.
The showing of the Catholic Univer-
sity basket ball team last night bears
out statements from that school that
the ouint will be one of the best in
its history. That the Brooklanders
could go to Gallaudet and defeat it in
its own gymnasium by such decisive
score as they did is indicative of real
capability-

At a meeting of the foot ball and
base bali letter men Of the Maryland
Agricultural College yesterday captains
for next spring and next fall were elect
ed. Z. Il. Hindman was chosen to LEAD
the 1915 eleven, and K. T. Knode was
the choice for the base ball honor.
Both received a unanimous vote.
Hindman has played three years on
ha1 fvun at rf<rh
and one at fullback. He has been
brilliant performer in both positions.
Hindman was shifted from tackle to
fullback early last season and showed
until at the end he undoubtedly was
one of the best in the state. Hindman
played three years at Tome Institute
at time when Tome was represented
N. A. c.
Knode is one of the few really good
college inielders in Maryland. He can
field well, hits the ball hard and is
generally a capable player. Both boys
are exceptionally well liked and among
the most popular in the school.
For the first time IN many years. pos
sibly in the history of such mythical
eIevens, this is the first season when
Yale failed to get man on Walter
Camps all-America eleven. 1t was
thought that LIE Gore would certainly
be a selection, as he was conceded a
position by most everybody that has
selected such a com mbination. but Camp
seems to think otherwise. and nobody
IS in better position to Judge than he
Yale started the season with almost an
entirely green team, in that few OF
the players had had much collegiate
experience, and the chances are that
their failure to accomplish more
against Harvard's veterans lost them
one or two of the honor positions.
Georgetown's basket ball team this
year Is not going to be as strong as
those of past seasons, but the Hilltop
pers are pursuing the same course in
their development of the quint that
they have in foot ball-making the

son. The Blue and Gray will not have
a poor quint. but il will be one that
should be whole lot stronger in
