Lost But Eleven Contests in
Five Years..
By BRYAN MORSE.

There will be a decided lull in
basketball activities this week oc-
casioned by mid-year examinations
for the various local colleges, a post
ponement of the Interscholastic
Basketball League games, usually
held at the Arcade, on account OF
pure food exhibit, and a general
stock taking of schoolboy athletes,
marking the end of the first half of
the school year.
Outside of these few minor de-
fractions which are interrupting
the even tenor of athletics in local
circles the trackmen will have few
stunts to 60 through as the Hop
kins-Fifth Regiment meet is fort
night away and the Georgetown
games fall on the date of February
19.
II would seem pretty generally agreed
that Catholic University has the best
basketball team among the colleges in
these parts, that Georgetown ranks
second and Virginia third. with George
Washing ton. Washington and Lee, Vlr-
Sinia Polytechnic Institute, Loyola. V.
NJ. I. and Gallaudet scrambling for rec
ognition.
During the week the followers Of the
various teams will have plenty of time
to discuss tho merits of their favoriteS.
Catholic University has a long layoff.
Georgetown will not be heard from for
some time. George Washington. how
ever. is meeting Galiaudet Saturday
night in the Kendall Green gym. and
this is the only big game of the week.
