The point trophy in the George
Washington University games, to be
held Saturday night, probabl will lie
between the University of Virginia and
the Johns Hopkins University. No
other institution will be represented
as strongly in the intercollegiate and
open events as these two schools, and
If one of them does not get high honors
it will be something of surprise.
Virginia generally is represented by
more capable men than Hopkins. In
fact. the Orange and Blue probably
will be the favorite- 1t probably will
use its best men in the relay race
against Cornell. but should still have
enough left to score heavily in almost
every form of competition.
None of the big institutions is to be
represented TO any great extent in the
open events. and it is not likely that
there will be any heavy scoring except
by Virginia and Hopkins. Catholic
University is liable to place two or
three athletes, and may win once or
twice, but it will be Virginia and Hop
kins men who will furnish most of the
point winners.
Just as was expected. Catholic Uni
versity and Georgetown proved the
between the local colleges last night.
The Brooklanders took the long end
Of the score III the contest with George
Washington, the latter being no match
for the Red and Black in the Carroll
Institute gym. Georgetown finished the
frs: half of the game with Gallaudet
only one point to the bad, but braced
in the second and won by a margin of
eleven points.
The Catholic University game was full
of rough hard work, and a great many
more fouls could have been called had
the officials been so minded, particular
ly in the first half. The Brooklanders
played the better basket ball and de-
served to win. Their work was supe-
rior in nearly every particular. Their
shooting for the baskets was much
better than that done by George Wash
ington, and there were few times when
they failed to show greater strength.
Eeegan played remarkable game for
c. t. his work standing out above that
of every other man in the game He
shot well. passed well and did every
thing else that came III the category
of good basket ball.
Jim Tormey and Harry Kelley played
the biggest parts in Georgetowhs WIN
over Gallaudet. Both men gave spien-
did exhibitions, Kelley's defensive work
featuring and Tormey getting Off some
long shots for spectacular scores.
Rockwell starred for the Kendall Green
ers. his play being brilliant. Neither
both paying more attention to defen-
sive play than to making consistent
offensive efforts.
The men who will represent George
Washington University in the two-mlie
relay for the south Atlantic lntercol-
legiate championship race with WASH
ington and Lee are K. kluge, T. 5. Her
ring. L. G. Connor and l., A; MaNsol''
All these have had considerable expe-
rience in track work and are hgurlhg
on getting BACK in good enough shape
TO give the Lexington four battle.
If Washington and Lee measures up
to the standard it has set in other
branches of sport in the last two or
three years. though, 1t is not llkeiy
that the Hatchetites will get away with
a victory. Louis Connor is runner OF
exceptional worth. but whether the
other men will hold their own is ques-
tionabIe. Anyway. if the G. w. L. four
ekes out a victory it will be an agree
able surprise.
The Naval Battalion and Company l.
quints were victors in the two basket
ball games played last night in the
armory. The Sailors won from the Bat
terry five, and Company NJ went down
before Company l..
Scott, who held down the center po-
sition for the Company l. team. and
Esler, who played center for the Bat
terv. proved the heaviest scorers in the
two matches. Each man registered
seven goals from the floor. Their work
in general, too, was above the average
