Three of the local college basket ball
teams have mighty hard games sched-
uled for tomorrow. In fact. so difficult
are the contests likely to prove that
not one of the trio can be considered a
pro ba Bile victor. Gallaudet goes to Bal
timore to meet the Loyola College
quint. George Washington is to appear
at Charlottesville in a contest with the
University of Virginia and Catholic
University goes to Annapolis to meet
the Navy. Georgetown has no game
| scheduled
| Playing against exceptionally strong
| teams on the home floors of those
teams, the local quints cannot hope for
much more than a good showing by
holding their opponents to close scores.
1t will be something of surprise if
either George Washington, Catholic
| University or Ga1laudet is able to get
away with the long end of the count;
! Loyola has team which has played
| brilliantly in all it's contests, and
among its victories on it's home floor is
! one over Lehigh The Navy had hard
| time beating the Baltimoreans, and un-
| less Gallaudet has improved wonder
| fully in it's shooting for baskets it will
not win
Catholic University and George
Washington will be against what
| probably are the strongest teams in the
| south. The Brooklanders know fun
| well what it means to play the Navy,
and any quint that has visited at Vir-
ginia can well realize the task which
confronts George Washington. If
either Catholic University or George
Washington were to win tomorrow a
great deal more credit than usually
| comes with victory would naturally
be deserved.
Two contests are to be played this
afternoon in the Interscholastic Basket
Ball League. Western High is to meet
the Army and Navy Props, and the
Central team clashes in a match with
the st. Adams quint. Western is the
favorite to win from the Army and
Navy five, but the game between Cen
tral and st. Adams should Ne closely
contested.
Two teams from Gallaudet are to en-
gage in basket ball games tonight It
the Noel House gymnasium. 18th and
Kramer streets northeast. The varsity
will go against the Rolands in the final
contest, and the reserves are to play
he Federals in the other. Both games
the Kendall Green varsity ought not to
have much trouble winning in its COM
bat with the RoIands. The two con-
tests will be for the benefit of the Noel
House gymnasium.
While the Gallaudet varsity is play
ing in Baltimore tomorrow, the reserve
team will meet the Rockville Academy
five on the Kendall Green floor. AS
many games as possible are being ar
ranged for the second team. in order
that men may be developed to take
the places of the several players who
are to graduate from the varsity.
The game between Georgetown and
| George Washington last night at
Georgetown was nothing more nor
less than what was predicted-a close,
grueling contest The players of both
quints went after the long end of the
score with greater determination than
they had shown in any previous com
bat. with the result that when the
| whistle blew to end the play only
four points separated the two quints,
Georgetown winning by q to %. The
Blue and Gray led at the end of the
first period by five points; the score
though, and. if anything, had a little
the better of the play the count for
| that period being 13 to 12 in it's
favor.
An important shift was made lin the
lineup of the George Washington
quint, Aimon going from forward,
which position he has played for sew
eraI years, to guard. Almon played
free and did some splendid work His
defensive and offensive performances
were extremely good Harry Kelley,
who has been the star guard at George
town for the last two years, was used
at forward and did just as good work
in that position
The game as whole was we'll played
The spirited work of the men made the
com bat very interesting of itself and
there were instances of fine teamwork
and excellent individual play. George
town proved the better at following
| the ball and was faster in which fac
! tors was to be found its small margin
| of superiority.
| The Virginia Medical offered little op-
position to the Catholic University last
| night in the basket ball game at the
| Arcade. The Brooklanders got the long
end o. the score by 49 to Il, and could
