Joe Wise probably the best center in
the local schools, has played his last
game with the Business quint. 1t was
generally known throughout the scholas-
tic ranks that Wise would be lost to his
team in February. due to midyear Gradu-
alton, but it was announced yesterday
that Allan B. Davis. principal of Busi-
ness High. has given Wise permission
to leave school now and graduate with his
class a few weeks hence.
Wise has been shining star at Busi-
ness during his four years and will be
graduated with high honors. He is presi-
dent of his class and captained the best
football eleven in the history of the
school last fall. Wise has Won his letter
in basketball and football at the Rhode
Island Avenue School.
Two of the teams of the newly or
ganized league came together Immediate
ly after the meeting yesterday, when
the Georgetown Props won over the
Army and Navy Academy five by a Il
to 10 score.
This game was not a scheduled contest
but merely served to show the compara-
tive strength of the teams. The first
league contest will be played by the same
teams next Friday in Ryan gym.
Catholic University is meeting the 10y
ola quint from Baltimore at Carroll Insti-
tute tonight at $50.
The local COllegians will try to even up
for the defeat it suffered at the hands of
Loyola in Baltimore just before the holi-
days. The Brooklanders played the Balti-
morcans to a standstill in their last meet
ing, but lost out in an extra five minute
period, as the result of an even score at
the close of the allotted time.
This is the first contest for the local
quint since the holidays, but they are
counting upon winning over the visitors.
Coach Rice will make no change in the
lineup, and he is we'll satisfied with the
showing of the combination which was
doing duty before the holidays.
