Two games are scheduled tomorrow
at the ''Y'' in the high school basket
tall series. Central meets Technical
and Western hooks up with Eastern.
The Blue and White should whale the
the latter show whole lot better form
than they did in their opening game
with Business. The Georgetown young
sters and Eastern ought to engage in
a real struggle.
Right now two teams are tied for
first place in the standing of the
schools. Central and Eastern each has
won one game and neither has been
defeated. Business stands third with
one victory and one defeat as. its
record Western and Tech have ap-
peared once each and both contests
were lost to Central and Business. re-
Central and Eastern will continue in
the lead after tomorrow. The former
certainly should be h rather easy victor
over Tech, and the latter may win from
Western. It would not be surprise.
though, if Central tops all the other
schools after the two remaining con-
tests'this week are played.
Catholic University's quint went
against the Navy yesterday and showed
lack Of practice, as compared to the
Navy five. the latter having been work
ing all through the holidays. G. U.
had previously taken part in but one
game, while the Navy had played sew
eral. Also the Midshipmen did not
have their practice interrupted by two
weeks Of holiday, as did the Brook-
landers; Nay %9n Dy 81 bens 6e su
perior to that of the Washingtonians.
|OBrien, c. U. star. threw eight goals
from the foul line. but the Navy play
ers had him pretty well corked up as
far as tossing goals from the foul .ine
was concerned.
Central High engaged in practice
game yesterday with Gallaudet ana
got the lead in the early stages Of the
contest and completely outplayed their
heavier opponents.

ital City Basket Ball League last night,

Epiphany had the Newports on the
short end Of the score, but was not
able to keep up the fast pace 1t had
been setting In the other game the
Columbias took the lead shortly after
the whistle blew to start the contest
and they were never headed. Column

While there have been many fore
casts that rowing among the colleges
would be totally abolished, 1t probably
will be carried along in some of the
eastern institutions as long as the 9TH
er sports are. Many of the universi-
ties have big rowing plants that 1t
would be more or less foolish to allow
to remain idle. Probably very few in
tercollegiate races will be rowed. but
competition between classes and crews
picked at large from the student body
is likely to be carried on most largely.
Fred Moore, graduate manager of ath-
letics at Harvard. recently stated that
rowing was the one sport with which
Harvard had considerable success last

Princeton also did better with that
