ONLY ONE CONTEST
IN COLLEGE LEAGUE
GaIIaudet and Maryland State
to Meet Tomorrow Night.
G. U. VS.. G. w. Today.
BY II. G. BYRD.

Only one game Is scheduled tomorrow
night in the District intercollegiate Bas-
ket Ball League. Gallaudet being booked
for its first setto with Maryland State
George Washington has only one contest
this week, that being due tonight with
Georgetown. Catholic University Is not
playing this week because Of examina-
tions.
Gallaudet and Maryland State played
their last basket ball game in the winter
Of 1914. The score Of that contest was
something like 65 to 10 in favor Of the
Kendall Green Ave. Gallaudet Is not as
strong now as it was then, but its oppor-
tunities for play and Improvement have
been far greater than those Of State. II
the two teams play tomorrow about the
same way they have in the games against
other teams Gallaudet ought to win
George Washington goes up to the
Hilltop tonight for a battle with
time the two quints have met. the other
contest, last Saturday, having resulted
in an overwhelming victory for the
Blue and Gray. Georgetown, IL 1t could
win SO easily on the Hatchetites' home
floor, ought not to have much trouble
negotiating victory in its own gym
nasium.
This afternoon two games are listed
in the high school basket ball series,
both of which may result in real strug-
giles. The one between Western and
Central should be brilliantly played,
and that in which Eastern and Business
face ought to hold considerable of in
terest. In the previous contests in
which these four teams met as they do
today the games were decided by sim
gle point margins.
Western and Central may fight out
the struggle for the championship. The
two teams are running a mighty close
race for first honors, with Western in
the lead. Either of the teams which
wins today's contest will be holder of
top position in the standing of teams.
No more interesting scholastic strug-
gle of the year is likely to be seen
than that in which the Red and White
and Blue and White are listed to take
part.
Central High makes announcement
that it has scheduled a foot ball game
with Tome School for next fall, Novem-
Der 16 Central is following just the
policy, which will make it the repre-
sentative scholastic Institution of
Washington; listing all the big prep
ball and other sports Some of the
games Central is playing this year
takes precedence over all it's other con-
tests, except the foot ball struggle with
Tech.
Frank Wolfe. Penn States star bas-
ket ball player, is out of the game
because Of an attack Of German measles.
Penn State students probably hate the
kaiser more than ever.
1t is understood that Yale, Harvard
and Princeton are to hold conference
to determine the best course to pursue
in carrying out a conservative pro-
York newspaper. here are some of the
things Yale will outline as its idea of
the best policy to be carried out:
NO record-breaking crowds are de-
spectacle.
mo lavish expenditures in coaching
or training table.
mo big commencement games YaIe's
commencement this year will be of a
decidedly patriotic and not athletic ma
ture.
"No long trips for any Yale athletic
teams. Probably rule will be passed
requiring teams to return to New Ha-
ven the same night of the events.
only three days practice a week
will be allowed. the other three being
taken for the military drill.
Only members of the military COM
panies will be eligible for Yale athletic
teams.
Sports will be kept in the back
ground as a decidedly military tonic
and ASA means for Strengthening,
physically, the military units.
mo definite plans for the athletic
events will be made till the beginning
of the spring season in April.
In case of a national crisis all ath-
letic activity will cease and every ath-
letic event will be Cancelled.
"Al spontaneous events in base ball.
rowing and track athletics will be en-
couraged. like class and interdepart-
mental games, but intercollegiate
events will be scant and infrequent.
yale has only 1.500 students left in
college, and they form not an athletic.
but military camp"
