was the victor Girkin and Scott of that
five were the stars. The former threw
five goals from the field and the latter
four. The general playing of these
Schnare and Brumbaugh of the Nc
Kendree team proved the most consist

that combination
The Western High auint without the
services of two of its regulars, dropped
game yesterday to the Army and
Navy Academy five by a margin of
three points. The Red and White out
fit did not play anywhere near Up to
its usual standard because the absence
OF two men broke up the splendid
teamwork it previously had shown.
Rondell was the main factor in the VIC
tory won by the Army and Navy
Academy. He threw seven goals from
the f1oor and two from the foul line,
scoring sixteen of his teams twenty
eight points Peck and Peine led the
western five in scoring. getting five
and four goals, respectively
Company I was able to score only one
point against the Naval Battalion team
in the National Guard Basket Ball
League last night The Sailors swamp
ca their opponents, getting twenty
eight points against the one lone count
registered by the soldiers from the
foul line.
A decision vas reached by the ath-
letlc board of the University of Vir-
gtnia at meeting last night that no
entries would be sent to the George
town meet to take part in the indoor
South Atlantic intercollegiate events
awarded the games to be held by the
Blue and Gray. 1t was stated that no
invitation had been received from
Georgetown, and that none was ex-
pected. Whether the Orange and Blue
would send representation if George
town forwarded an invitation TO be
present is questionable. Athletic rela-
tlons were broken between Hopkins
and Virginia. yet Virginia sent a track
and field squad to Baltimore 1t might
possibly do the same thing in case
Georgetown were to make it knoen
that Nirginia's entries would be ac-
ceptable
VI course. 1t can plainly be seen that
both schools arc in delicate position.
Georgetown could not afford to send
virginia entry blanks or an invitation,
Tor fear 1T would be humiliated by
having its offer ignored. and Virginia
cannot send entries to the meet with
out such an invitation, because il, in
turn, might be placed in the undesir-
able position of having it's entries re-
Jected. That is the position the two
Institutions are in and neither is ready
to take the chance of being Inundated.
/ now. since Virginia has come out
with the statement that it has not re-
celved and does not expect an invita- :
ton from Georgetown, the Blue and
Gray could. consistently with its previ-
Gus attitude, send the Orange and Blue
entry blanks. If the Georgetown man
agement would send to Virginia entry
blanks for this meet it might be an
entering wedge which would ultima tc =
ly result in the resumption of athletic
relations. Virginia and ,;eorsetow n
competed against each other in the
outdoor South Atlantic intercolIe gia I q
events at Baltimore last spring and
there appears no reason why they
should not do so indoors All that
seems to be lacking is AN invitation
from Georgetown, and the Blue and
Gray probably would be doing some
thing that would result in much good
to itself if it could decide to extend an
unqualified invitation to Virginia
