VICTORY TO VIRGINIA
Superior Team Work Defeats
Washington and Lee.
GENERALS FIGHT PLUCKILY
Capt. Stickley and Luck Prove Star
Players in % to 13 Vic
tory Registered.

LYNCHBURG, Va, February g.
Playing a brilliant offensive game that
was too intricately maneuvered through
superior team work to admit of even a
temporary halt, Virginia's basketers
tonight crushed Washington and Lees
hopes in their annual battle in the city
auditorium, registering an easy victory
by a score of % to 13.
Washington and Lee displayed signs
of weakness early in the game. In
passing and goal shooting but little
talent was made manifest. and Virgin
ia march was not a hard one, in spite
of the plucky fight made by the Gen.
erals in the face of overwhelming odds.
Young was disqualified after seven
minutes of play and his absence gave
Virginia another advantage. Seeley
and Strickling fell going after the ball
and Referee Sturdy banished both, Bal
ley and Gannaway, respectively, taking
their places.
Nirginia's pivot was upset in the loss
of Strickling, but the team did not fall
ter and kept playing a hard, consistent
game until the final shot.
Virginia Starts Slowly.
The first half ended in a score of 10
to 4, two field goals by Miles and Bal
ley being the best the Generals could
do against their rivals. Virginia start
ed off slowly in the final and did not
score for several minutes, Miles being
the first to count on a foul goal pre-
sented through Lucks generosity.
For Washington and Lee Pierotti
played a pretty defensive game and
also showed up we'll on the offense.
bested Miles while he was
in the game, but the general handled
Gannaway without any difficulty. Bal
ley was an able substitute for Seeley.

for Virginia, and Diettrick made

IOYOLA DEFEATS G. W. U.
Game Is Hard Fought and Replete
With Fouls.

BALTIMORE. February e.-The
Loyola College quintet kept In the
running for the southern championship
by defeating the George Washington
University team in their second meet
ing of the season tonight at the old
Central gymnasium by 26-to-11
count. The contest was sensational
and spectacular and kept the small
crowd in a tense mood throughout the
play.
The game was exceptionally clean
,iespite the fact that the referees whis-
tie interrupted the conflict thirty-three
times for fouls. Nineteen personal
fouls were committed, none Of which
was deliberate or serious. Joyces the
Loyola guard, was forced from the con-
test when he twisted his knee. and
John Quinn took his place.
The consistent teamwork Of the
Blue and Gold squad was the feature.
and the visitors at times showed some
speedy team play. The Washington
ians counted only five times from the
court. while the home team netted the
ball on nine occasions.
Capt. Corcoran of the Blue and Gold
was very unsuccessful in registering
the ball on the free chances, scoring
the additional point only twice in ten
times in the opening period. Alinon
was more fortunate. counting i've OF
his seven tries during the same time

George Washington itself Will meet
Washington and Lee University in a
dual two-mile race, for the south At

est events of the night is certain to
be run when Hopkins and Lehtgh face
each other, and the real feature will
be the contest between Virginia and
Cornell at one mile. The event In
which the Orange and Blue is to try
it's strength against the Ithacans
should be well worth seeing. in that
both schools are always represented by
very good quartets. The Maryland Ag-
gies, upon a direct challenge from St

to place relay four in for a dual race
at one mile with that school, and they

two-mile race is to be run with the
Baltimore Cross Country Club and the
Carroll Institute as the principals.
There is no question about the at
tractiveness Of the relay card, which
George Washington will present. Be-
sides the races already mentioned there
will be others of local interest, es-
pecially one in which at least two OF
the high schools will take part.
There probably is no basket ball
player in the District that has de-
veloped as much since the start of the
present season as Johnson. who is
holding down the center position for
George Washington University. John
son was extremely crude when he re-
ported for practice, but has shown i'm
provement with every contest, until
now he can be. rated among the steady
and consistent performers.
Johnson has one very great fault,
though, which is a seeming inability
to pass the ball once he gets it. The
lanky fellow either does not know
what to do with 1t or else he simply
tries to play the game himself by at
tempting to wriggle loose from his op-
ponent. johnson is not Of the build to
accomplish that very we'll, and 1t Is al
most useless for anybody to pass the
ball to him unless he gets out of that
habit.
Gallaudet put up the poorest eXhibi-
tion against Fordham yesterday that
1t has shown in any contest since the
holidays. The Kendall Greeners won.
