Fdrdham may not win game OF the
four in which it figures in Washington
on the present trip. The Gothamites
have dropped two contests already. one
TO Catholic University and the other to
George Washington, and that they VIII
have their work cut out for them to
win from either Georgetown or Gal
laudet is certain.
The New Workers are to play Gal
laudet this afternoon and will meet
Georgetown tonight. Unless they show
great deal better form against these
two quints than they evidenced last
night against c. L. or the night before
that against George Washington they
will not go home with single victory
10 their credit. AS n matter of fact, it
viii be something of surprise if
either game is won, because the team
is not as capable as either Of the local
combinations There is only one player
in the lineup capable of shooting goals
accurately, and he does little else be-
sides that, and it is not a very difficult
matter, by any means, to cover him.
Catholic University played better
basket ball last night than it has for
some weeks The BrooklanderS worked
better together, and incidentally Bill
DoRnelly gave a splendid exhibition
which was very much responsible for
the victory He took few long shots,
watched out for the work of his team
as whole. and really did better all
round work than in any of his pre-
viodS contests.
The Brooklanders took a good lead
right at the start, and there was never
a time thereafter when the local five
was pushed. Splendid offensive play
and close covering when on the de-
fensive gave the game to c. L. by a
big margin Fordham men were not
very accurate in tossing the ball for
the basket. and their work in general
was not of as high class as that
usually shown by the local teams.
Cartwright did some remarka BILE goal
shooting for Catholic University, toss
ing the ball into the basket from all
not to be able to miss the basket, no
matter when he took the shot Incl
dentally. Cartwright was kept covering
Walsh. rated as the star of the visitors,
and Walsh did not register a single
goal from the field for his team.
Lehigh University is matched to run
against Johns Hopkins University in
the George Washington games to be
held next week. The Hopkins quartet
way pitted against that of Catholic
University. but the refusal of the lat
ter to run, on the claim that the men
were not in condition. compelled the
change of plan. The race between
Hopkins and Lehigh shhould be note
worthy event and ought to cause a lot
of interest. Hopkins generally puts out
very capable one-mile team and Le-
high is never represented by a slow
combination, by any means
Western High had an easy time de-
fearing the Army and Navy Props in
the contest yesterday in the gymna
Y, NJ c. A The Red and White basket
eTs played rings around" their oppo-
nentS, not being pushed at any time
after the first two or three minutes
The work of both quints was spirited,
but the high school boys were much
more capable as individuals and had
their teamwork developed efficiently
Peck did some remarkable work for
Western. shooting twelve goals from
the floor. His play was about the best
shown by any schoolboy forward this
season.
Two Epiphany basket ball teams were
victors in the church gymnasium. The
FIRST quint defeated the boys team of
the y NJ. c. A. and the Junior five got
the long end of the score in the con-
test with the junior quint of the
Friends School Epiphany obtained the
lead at the start in the game with the
Y NJ c. A. youngsters and had little
trouble holding II, but the contest be-
tween the junior aggregations was
very close. the church boys winning
by margin of only four points.
Business High was an easy victor
ovss the ST. Alban's School in the for
merS gymnasium. The Stenocraphers
more than doubled the score on their
opponents. Culligan and Buck Wise
led.in the counting of points for Busi-
ness. each registering seven goals from
the floor. Holmes and March played
best for ST. Adams
In the other basket ball game be-
tween prep schools the Gonzaga team
won from the Georgetown Preps very
easily. The Blue and Gray was able
TO get only 10 points. while Coma ga
made 81
o'Lone and Folliard played better
basket ball than any of the others,
leading in the scoring and doing the
best general work They held down

,alion in the National Guard Basket

was fas- and rough. and the result was
much in doubt until the last whistle
blew.
The Memorial Athletic Club easily
won the wrestling tourney held under
its auspices last night. Gallaudet and
Y. NJ c. A. were the only other con-
tending clubs The Memorial club won
all the events except the 145-pound
and heavyweight classes. The results
