GALLAUDET TO PLAY
G. W. U.FLOOR TEAM
Kendall Greeners Entertain
Hatchetites in Only Local
Game.

With Georgetown In northern COM
petition in Cambridge playing Bos
ton College and Catholic University
players resting and studying for mid,
year examinations, Gallaudet and
George Washington are holding the
center OF interest tonight.
The Hatchetites are playing a re-
turn game in the Kendall Green
gymnasium. Just before Christmas
George Washington handed the Gal
laudet team a 81 to 21 defeat. Since
then the Kendall Green team has
shown strength in several battles and
can be counted upon to put the
Hatchetites to the test tonight.
Has New Center Man.
George Washington appeared to be
siackened up last week in playing the
Davis-EIkins team, of West Virginia
The Hatchetites were lucky to get
away with the game, and chiefly be-
cause of the technical fouls COM
mitted by the visitors.
Since last week the George Wash
ington players have worked in Har-
mon, a new center, man, who has all
the ability necessary to make the
team stronger. Harmon had worked
out but twice up to last Saturday
and was in no condition to play. His
work was about the best on the floor,
however, and he has gotten in shape
for tonight's battle.
Has Rested Ten Days.
GaIlaudet has been out of competi-
tion for about ten days, but Coach
Haas has been putting his charges
through some grueling practices in
preparation for tonight's contest.
The probable starting line-ups are:
Gallaudet-Schowe, left forward: r.
Wenger, right forward; A Wenger,
center; Claud, left guard, and Will
man, right guard. George Washing
ton-Almon, left forward; Giacomo,
fight forward; Harmon, center; Hills,
left guard, and Groesbeck, right
guard.
The game is scheduled to start at
s:15 p. m. James Collifiower and Bry-
an Morse are to handle the game.
This afternoon at Epiphany gymna-
sium the GaIlaudet girls team and
that from George Washington are
scheduled to meet.

MAY KEEP BOXING
Legitimate Clubs Allowed to Stage
Contests in New York.

NEW YORK. Feb. 3-Boxing fans
were somewhat surprised today to learn
through an interview from Governor
Whitman his belief that bill to repeal
the Frawley boxing law In this State
would not mean the end OF boxing.
Governor Whitman declared bouts be-
fore members OF clubs could not be pre-
vented, although he admit ed that II the
clubs" and their members became too
numerous police laws would be used to
control them. He asserted amateur
bouts would not be affected.
II had been the general belief that the
repeal OF the law would put an end to
bouts OF any class. No promoter could
be brought to see today. however, that
he you'd be able to stage bout that
would bring in many dollars without
invoking the laws OF the State.

Regard IL Az Failure.

We have had so little trouble IN
getting our regulars into line that
we regard the strike as a total fail
ure. There Ia no reason why other
clubs in the big leagues should mot
engage their men with equal facility.
But in case the National League, as
whole. should experience enough
trouble to cripple some OF Its teams
believe the American League should
go to its assistance. The majors are
in the same boat. co-partners In pro-
noting baseball. and they must stand
shoulder to shoulder In this tight for
principle.
"If the union should come out on
top. # would be a case OF good bye
baseball for the public no longer
would regard the national pastiine
with feeling of confidence. But the
union Is doomed and when the soaso1
opens the fans will enjoy real base
ball unless. as said before. we have
a rumpus with the Kaiser"

CENTRAL AND TECH
MEET NEXT FRIDAY
Championship May Be Decided
by. Issue of Coming
Battle. F..

Central and Tech, rated as the
strongest of the high school quinIs,
now battling for the title in ,he
newly formed league. are expected
to furnish the thrills next Friday at
the Y. NJ. c. A when these teams
get together, Judging from yester-
days performances when both fiv-s
went over the high score point for
the season the game will be produc-
tive OF some of the best basketball
seen this season.
Tech got in some clever work
against Western. The Manual Train
ers hung up a 35 to 16 victory over
the Red and White, winning all the
way, and preventing Western from
scoring more than points in .he
second half.
Makes shift In Team.
Technical made a shift in the team
at the last moment which appeared
to give it strength. Tabb and Catlin
were played in forward. and Biggs. a
husky six-footer was moved into CEN
ter. Pfeiffer and Schneider played
the guards.
Western was never dangerous, and
fell far below the standard set IN
the recent Business game. Tabb
proved to be quite a team in, himself,
scoring seven baskets from the fioo-.
The westerners lost chances to IN
crease their total by failing to shoot
more than four baskets out of seven
teen trials on free tosses.
Central In Form.
Central appeared to be in foron in
the nightcap. Eastern played con-
sistently well, but Centrars passing
earned a SO to 20 victory.
The Mt Pleasant players hung up
the seasons mark set by Tech in the
opening engagement. Central has
played better basketball in every
engagement and the coming Tech
Central battle set for next Friday
should be a whirlwind affair. Ross
White played at center yesterday
and the team went along at a fast
clip.
For some unexplained reason Cen

was obtained on Eastern, otherwise
new figues might have been set.
individuals Do Well.
Centrars teamwork stood out in
contrast to the straggIy efforts of the
other teams, yesterday. Only when
the ball had been worked up to the
basket did Central display weakness.
Several baskets were missed after the
ball had been carried up to. within
scoring distance.
Thomas, of Eastern; Cummings, of
the same school; DAILY and Solomon,
of Central; Chamberlaine and John
stone, OF Western, and Tabb and
Schneider, of Tech, were the stars Of
yesterdays battles.
Standing of Teams.
Central gets within striking dis
tance of the top by virture of yes
terday's win. The Mt Pleasant lads
are expecting to either win the league
or tie up with Tech at the conclusion
of the series.
