High High School team of Alexandria

score of % to 10. The Preps were

spirited play in the middle OF the
second half.

HATCHETITE FIVE
Meets DoWntoWners Tomorrow
Night in Ryan Gym in
Return Game.

Georgetown will entertain George
Washington in a return basketball
game at Ryan Gymnasium tomorrow
night. The Hilltopper authorities
have come TO the conclusion that the
contest should be played on the hill
top. despite the assurance that a
packed house will be watching the
contest.
Some time ago, following the first
contest when standing room was at a
premium, II was thought that the re-
turn battle would be shifted down
town. Arrangements were tried but
it was deemed advisable to stage the
game in Ryan Gymnasium, because
too high a guarantee was exacted of
those in charge OF other places.
Teams Well Matched.
The teams taking the floor tomor-
row night are well matched. George
town at present seems to be in a
slump. The Hilltoppers were unsuc-
cessfuI against st. Johns, Seton Hall
and the Crescent \. c., in their recent
trip North.
The Hatchetites have been going
none too well, as they ran up against
snag in their recent game with the
Gallaudet team. Coaches O'Reilly and
CoIlifiower will put their charges
through signal practice today in
preparation for the game tomorrow
night.
LIne-ups Announced.
Fees and oLone will probably play

Bowlers who have been humping
averages deserve much credit, but
their performances have been over
rated by some. 1t is an acknowledged
fact that the new A. c. b. A. game.
consisting of the five-ineh ball and
pin on the order OF the Baltimore
duck, has been responsible in large
degree for the boost in averages as
compared with other seasons. Before
this season an average of more than
112 at this stage was unheard of. The
leading average of the city at this
time has never exceeded 112. Yet we
have bowlers now hitting the naples
around lis and the general averages
show evidence of the increase occa-
stoned by the new game.

derby and drags down twice as much

The Navy basketbalIers didn't re-
! quire that executive order that for
bids their playing any more games,
if they would have taken chances on
losing a game. All they had to do was
to have left their home court. Bas-
ketball is. distinctly. a home teams
game. 1t always viii be as long as
no regulation courts are provided in
the rules. II a football eleven at
home played on a field seventy yards
long and whenever it left home had
to play on different lengths, it might
seldom win game away from home.
And that's basketball. Until reguIa-
tion courts are required. it will ever
be home teams game. Until regu-
lation courts are demanded. basket
ball victories will never mean much

sports.

The Alexandria County A. A. did
