HATCHETITES beaten
BY Middle TOSSERS
George Washington Is Handed First
Setback of Season.

Annapolis, Nd. Jan. 3-George Wash
ington University furnished the opposi-
ton for the Navy in the mid-week basket
ball game here today and the Middies
reeled on another victory. thus maintain
ing clean slate so far this season. The
game was fairly fast. the visitors fighting
hard all the time, but they were out
classed and the final score was "a to Is.
The visitors had a slight advantage in
weight They showed flashes of good
work, but their greatest weakness lay in
their inaccuracy in shooting for the bas-
ket- As result they missed many op-
portunities, some of them very easy Nu-
merous fouls were charged against both
teams and 1t was through this channel
that the Washingtonians were able to
tally as many points as they did, for In
Allmon, their star forward, they had a
champion in cag1ng the ball from the
FOUL circle. He was successful in nine
out Of fourteen chances. Captain CAL
houn played in his usual brilliant form.
He retired from the game toward the
close OF the second half, after he had
thrown four goals from court and the
same number from the foul circle. Two
Of his field goals were OF the spectacular
order.
The Middies gathered most of their
points in punches, that is they hit up a
Iapld pace on three or four occasions
and registered two or more goals in quick
succession. The visitors looked a bit
dangerous in the early stages of play,
when they led by a two-point margin,
but once the sailor lads overcame this
they had things pretty much their own
way. The lineup and summary:

DEATH TRAPS TWO IN
AUTOMOBILE TRAGEDY

The planned pleasures of an after
noon picnic were turned into deepest
sorrow and mourning Saturday evening
at Sis, after Mrs. Anna Farmer White
had been instantly killed and her hus-
band, William F. White, fatally in
iured, when Milwaukee, Racine and
Kenosha interurban train crashed full
speed into the automobile in which
they were riding. The third occupant
of the death car, Miss Eleanor Cava-
naugh, the ffteen-year old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Cavanaugh of Sher-
idan Road, miraculously escaped injury
by jumping from the rear seat of the
car, when she saw the electric driving
down upon them. The accident oc-
Cured at the crossing which leads to
the beach about two miles north of Ke-
nosha on the Lake Shore Road. With
in fifteen minutes after the crash, am
balances were carrying the mangled
body of Mrs White to the nearest
morgue. The husband, who received
serious internal injuries, in addition to
compound fractures Of both legs, was
hurried TO the Kenosha Hospital, where
he died at five CLOCK Sunday morning.
White Talks In Ambulance.
In the ambulance White in broken
sentences told his story Of the tragedy
when he said "that something broke
and that was all he knew. Motorists
who saw the gruesome accident from a
distance agreed that the car, which
was IN charge of Conductor John Meyer
and Motorman Sam Nobner, was ap-
preaching at rate of twenty-five miles
an hour when White at the wheel back
ed onto the track in the very path of
the death dealing train. The automobile
was struck Just a little back of the
center of the car ard carried at least
fifteen feet, where it was completely
turned around and hurled against a
telephone pole with such an impact as
instantly to crush out the life of Mrs
White. The fact that he was at the
wheel protected White from the full
force Of the crash and for few hours
slight hopes were entertained for his re,
covery. The car was totally demolished
and from the wreckage the bodies OF
the victims were taken with difficulty
by the ambulance men and helpers
The body of Mrs. White was dreadful1y
