will almost give it a strangle hold on
the championship. while if Central wins
the proba blities that the cham
pionship will hinge on the final meet
ing of these two quints. With the fall
ure of Business to maintain its stand
ing because of the loss of two star
players. Central seems to be the only
quint strong enough to stand a good
chance against the Manual Trainers.
Central and Tech have been playing
much the same kind of game. and their
meeting should be productive of some
of the best basket ball of the series
Both teams number in their line-ups
clever players. and the teamwork
should be much better than the aver
age.
The other game in the school series
tomorrow is to be played between
also are good enough to warrant 4
prediction that their meeting will not
be uninterestins by any means.
in the second half of its game with
West Virginia Wesleyan last night. the
Catholic University quint went down to
defeat by margin of two points. The
visiting quint won by 43 to Al. c. U.
seemed unable to get started during
the opening half of the contest, but in
the second period played fine basket
ball. The second half opened with the
score standing &c to IA against the
Catholic University.
n
the foul line by O'Brien did much TO
keep the Brooklanders in the running.
O'Brien tossed thirteen goals out OF
fifteen free attempts. Rather mediocre
guarding allowed the West Nirginians
to score time after time against the
Brooklanders.
Georgetown completely outclassed
George Washington in the basket ball
game on the Hilltop. The Hatchetites
went down under d 43-to-23 beating,
the Blue and Gray getting the lead
early and increasing it throughout
The Buff and Blue did not register
single goal from the field during the
entire first half its five points being
obtained on free throws from the foul
line by Harmon. Georgetown's floor
work was far better than anything
evidenced in the play of George
Washington, and it's whole showing,
as a team and as individuals, was much
superior.
Fees of Georgetown was the main
scorer. The star forward tossed nine
goals from the foul line and got six
from the floor, making. d total of
twenty-one points.
Bob Folwell's appointment as head
coach of the University of pennsylvania
foot ball team has been ratified and an
nouncement to that effect was made this
morning by the university authorities.
Folwell is not the kind of fellow to submit
tamely to a denunciation implied or 9TH
erwise and when the faculty committee
decided he was not the man for the place
because of alleged indiscretions, he did
not accept it, but demanded a show
down-and won out in his fight 1t
would be extremely interesting to lea:I
lust who and what was back of the evil
demo attempt to GUST Folwell, despite
his success.
The athletic games scheduled under
the auspices of the New York Athletic
Club have been postponed from Saturday
until Tuesday, February -. The post
ponement was made necessary by the
order refusing the use of the National
Guard Armory, in which the games were
to be held. 1t has been necessary to
transfer them to Madison Square Garden.
This transfer of the meet will prevent
the holding of the 100yard invitation
race. which probably will be cut down
to seventy yards, the new floor not being
long enough for TIE century dash.
So far Georgetown has arranged only
two collegiate relay races for its meet
week from Saturday. The Blue and
Cray is to run against Washington and
Lee in the final event and Catholic
University meets George Washington
in the semi-final. Georgia Tech asked
for relay match, and there is posi-
blity that it will run against Mary
land State.
One of the features of the meet will
be a relay race between The high
schools. if present plans go through
Western. Central and Eastern are said
to have signified their intention to be
represented by quartets.
Two basket ball games were played
in the Phi Mu Sigma League last night
ri defeating Chi by Al to 10 and Gamma
Sigma beating Alpha Beta by 80 to 10.
AS might be judged by the scores. the
winners had things about their own
way. The Pi five further increased the
lead it holds in the race and indicated
sufficient strength to warrant predic-
ton that it will win the championship
unless some of the other uuints bolster
their line-ups considerably.
