Catholic University and Gallaudet Col
lege basketball quints opened up festivi-
ties Of the year in collegiate circles last
night with the former coming out OF the
fray with the long end OF the score.
IS % q
Sounds very much like one-sided bat
tie. but IL was far from that. The Brook
IandeTs had to travel the entire distance
at their fastest pace, and had the Cal
laudet boys been less free with their
fouls the score would have had a differ
ent aspect No less than twenty-three
fouls were committed by the wearers Of
the Bun and Blue. and before they can
make real good showing they Will have
TO forget il Is basketball they are play
ing instead of football
II was the old team work that counted
mere than anything else. and for this
early in the season the Catholic Unive--
sity boys showed that they have been
well versed in that department Of the
game. II was up and down the floor,
with the ball always with a Gallaudet
man In the wake Of the sphere. Moth
ing could have stopped the fast team
work displayed by the Red and Black
boys. but despite this great advantage
the Gallaudet boys showed that they werI
well versew in that department>of the
game. and when a chance presented il
Rockwell Is shifted.
Covered tighter. than a drum the Gal
| laudet forwards were unable to get loose
but a very few times and they had to
hurry their shots when ever they did
get the opportunity. Rockwell. who was
shifted to a guard position, got away
4 several times and II was his great play
| ing for the wearers OF the Bun and Blue
that they made such a good showing as
they did The little blonde boy was all
: over the floor covering his man and
bringing the baH[to within striking dis
Z tance OF the goal.
! The absence Of Tracy. who last sea-
son was the bright particular star Of
| the Catholic University team, was not
! felt in the least. White. who has taken
his place, brought joy to the followers
| OF the Red and Black in the clever man
ner in which he Gagged the ball from
I the foul line. Out OF possible twenty
three chances at goals he Gagged the ball
| fourteen times. It was this that gave
| the BroOklanders such a commanding
] lead and had the Kendall Green boys
! been able to do less fouling the Brook
! landers would have had to show more
| than they did to get away with the
/ long end Of the score.
! It was the same old machine that won
! so many games for the Catholics last
! season. Cartwright and Keegan, cover
| ing their men so that they did not have
| a chance to get loose for q try at goal
/ and then getting possession Of the ball
( and bringing II up the floor where they
= would either take a shot or pass II to a
man who was>nearer to the basket. This
: stun has won more than one game for
: the Brooklanders and Fred Rice can feel
! assured that he has two OF the best
! guards in the game and ones who know
( their business.
DOnnelIy Substituted.
DonneIly who has taken Lamberts
place in center. although a sick man.
stuck in the game and played with the
rest of them He was always loose and
| Il was rarely ever that he was covered.
! He got the jump on both Rasmussen and
Classen and 1t can be said that he
proved a winning factor for the Brook
landers.
1t was not a slow game, il the fouling
was omitted, but that was the only mar
ring feature. Had the game been more
cleaner there could not have been a
better game. Both teams were kept
on the jump and the only real redeeming
feature was the team work displayed by
both quints.
Considering that it was the first real
game either team has played both quints
deserve a great deal OF credit for the
showing they made.
Catholic University took the lead at
the very outset Of the contest and were
never so much as once in the rear. At
the end of the first half they were lead
ing q to L. The second half was closer
in every respect. both teams were fully
warmed up and every inch Of the way
was contested. Gallaudet took spurt
in this haff and il looked for few
minutes as il the Brooklanders were
having their hands full holding their
own, but then the fouls, It was all on
then the Brooklanders took new lease
on life and with the help OF fouls kept
the lead and won the game hands down.
