BR0OKLANDERS GET LEAD
EARLY IN THE CONTEST
First Score is Made in Second Half
in Less Than Six
Seconds.
BY H. C. BYRD.

Barring once or twice toward
the close OF the game, when
play was stopped because OF
wrangiing. the basket ball game
between Catholic University and
New York University at the Car
roll institute gymnasium last
night resulted in splendid eN-
hibition on the part of the former.
Setting the pace from the begin
ming, the Brooklanders went right
on scoring rather easily through
out the entire contest. The final
count was 81 to 1o.
The general passing and floor
work OF the local quint was even
superior to that shown FRIDAY
night against Fordham, the per
formances of White and Keegan
being exceptionally clever in this
particular. Time and again it ap-
pearcd that White was about to
make a shot toward the basket,
would have everybody on the op-
posing five off guard, but instead
would throw the ball to one of his
teammates standing under the
basket. who would in turn toss
the ball into the net.
Keegan and White Star.
In fact, Keegan and White passed
and shot and did about everything
good basket ball players should. Their
play was excellent. and little fault
could be found with the manner in
which they held down their positions
and covered the floor in general.
One play which the New York Uni
versity aggregation seemed unable to
solve was when one of the guards OF
the Red and Black came down from his
position. took the ball from the CEN
ter and made the toss for the basket
himself. Both Keegan and Cartwright
are accurate shots, must better than
the average guard, and the way they
executed that play last night several
times was as near perfection as could
have been.
Catholic University nearly broke the
record for a quick score on just one of
those plays at the beginning of the
second half. The ball was barely
thrown into the air at center when
Donnelly got the bat off his opponent
and Keegan, taking the bal direct, shot
down the fioor and tossed the ball into
the basket without being touched. Only
Ave seconds elasped from the time be
gan until the goal was made. The first
score a the start of the contest Was
made almost as quickly. White shoot
ing the basket in just forty seconds.
c. q. Gets Good Lead.
The first half ended with {. L. having
the long end OF the score by 2e to \.
The Brooklanders outolayed their op-
ponents in this period very decisively
and it looked as if a big margin might
be run up. The visitors took a brace
at the beginning of the second period,
however, and managed to hold things
about even. In fact, each team got
the same number of points, though G.
U. registered four goal from the fiela
against only two for New York L. Both
quints guarded closely. c. U. being in
clined to take less chances with GOOD
lead.
Keegan led in the scoring for his
team, getting seven goals from the
floor. His work stood out at all times
too, in other ways just as much as IN
the making of points. Levy and Cum
mings did about the best playing for
the visitors.
Fouls were numerous coward the
close OF the contest ana real frii-
liant battle was Ilarred considerably
by wrangling between the players and
between the players and the officials.
