Catholic University Meets Loy-
ola and GaIIaudet Goes
Against B. c. c.
GEORGE WASHINGTON DOES
WELL AGAINST W. AND l..
Hatchetites Spring Surprise by De
feating Generals on Their
Own Floor.
BY II. G. BYRD.

The two basket ball games scheduled
here tonight should result in victories
for local quints. Catholic University
ought to defeat the Loyola College out
fit and Gallaudet should not find much
trouble in getting a good margin on
the Baltimore City College quint Both
the visiting combinations are from
Baltimore. The games will be played
at 8:15 o'clock. the one between Cath
olic University and Loyola being book
ed for Carroll Institute and the other
at the Gallaudet College gymnasium.
1t Is not likely that there will be any
change in the lineup Of either of the
local teams. Coach Haas of Gallaudet
and Fred Rice, who is in charge at
c. u, both appear to be well satisfied
with the present arrangement of the
players. Donnelly will be at center for
c. u, White and Caffrey at forwards
Gallaudet's five will take the floor in
this wise: Rasmussen, center; Kelley
and r. Wenger. forwards; Rockwell
and Classen, guards.
Gallaudet has yet to win game this
season. The Kendall Greeners have
and Catholic University. but they are
pretty sure to break into the won col
umn tonight. Catholic University lost
to Loyola in an extra period game at
the Baltimoreans are not apt to be SO
formidable when they get on the Car
roll Institute floor. Loyo.a, though.
has a good team, and no mistake need
be made as to that.
The George Washington University
quint sprang something Of q surprise
last night when it defeated Washing
ton and Lee University in the Wash
ington and Lee gymnasium. at Lexing-
cities would accomplish much more
than a good showing. but that they
came through with a victory under
such conditions is all the more remark
floor Is a mighty hard team to defeat.
That 1t was the first game for W. and
L. probably worked to its disadvantage.
although 1t also was the first contest
for George Washington for nearly a
month.
To Frank Schlosser should go great
deal of credit for the team he has de-
veloped at George Washington. Schlos-
ser has not had very good material.
yet he has made the best Of it so
an exceptionally close game and de-
feated Loyola and Gallaudet. Almon
Is the only player on the George WASH
ington quint of more than average
and does good work, but the other
three are not better than the average,
and two of them probably are a little
below the ordinary run OF college
players. That Schlosser has been able
to turn out what bids fair to be an
exceptionally successful quint from only
fair material is a tribute to his ability
as a coach and his knowledge Of bas-
ket ball.
At a meeting held yesterday in the
gymnasium at Georgetown University
a new scholastic basket ball leag ~

effected after a meeting OF representa-
tives from the Georgetown Prep
