Virginia Polytechnic Institute, plays
two more basket ball games before it
leaves Washington. Tonight the Blacks
burg men go against Georgetown and
tomorrow night play Gallaudet. Both
contests are booked to begin at s
O'Clock.
v. P. I. will not find the going so easy
tonight against Georgetown and prob
ably will have harder shedding against
Gallaudet tomorrow than it did last
night against C. U. The Blacksburgers
had the advantage of meeting c. L. on
a neutral floor, one which was just as
familiar to it as to the Brooklanders.
That floor is Georgetown's home floor,
kind of task confronts the team which
meets Gallaudet at Kendall Green.
:. After apparently Sewing up" the
game last night the V. Z. |. Quint came
mighty close to getting whipped by the
Catholic L. five. In the opening half
Coach Bernier'S aggregation started to
run away from the Brooklanders, run
ming up fifteen points while the local
men were getting three. In the last
half, though, c. u. prevented the Wis
itors scoring a point from the floor. Had
c. u. counted as much from the foul
line as V. p. L did the score would have
favored it Parrish of the visiting five
threw nine goals out of twelve chances
from the foul line, while GlaScott of
e. U. made good on only six chances
out of thirteen. v. p. l. won, Is to 16.
!. Central High and Business meet this
afternoon in a basket ball game that
may give Business the high school
championship or place Central in a
position to win the title. If Central
is victor it still will be we'll in the
running for the honor, but if it loses
the championship will be conceded TO
Business. The contest is to be played
at the Y. NJ. C. A at $3.50 o'clock.
!. Brooks, one of V. P. Us guards in
. the loss of his right hand. His play
ing does not cause it to seem that he
is under handicap at all, but if he
had two hands there is no telling
what he would not do. Coach Bernier
of ". p. l. says that he is one of the
best foot ball and basket ball players
In the south. Brooks is a lineman in
foot ball, and, according to Bernier,
was never outplayed last season
Catholic University and Georgetown
probably will resume athletic relation
ships within a short time. The way for
contests in all branches of sports has
been opened, and there seems to be no
gin to meet by scheduling base bali
games this spring. Charley Cox, grad
uate manager of athletics at George
town, favors renewal of competition be-
tween the schools, and says that George
town is willing to schedule games.
Charley Moran. in charge of sports at
6. O., makes the statement that c. u
has never been unwilling to meet
Georgetown.
Relationships in athletics were called
On years ago, following basket bah
game at the Arcade in which a C. L.
and g. o. player hooked up in a small
Size prize fight. It was thought best at
That time to drop sports for a while, but it
II felt that there viii not be repetition
of that little affair. At that, it is likely
the light Was given a great deal more
prominence and Importance than it de-
served. and it was questioned by many
~ the time as whether or not it was of
1zIi1cient importance to warrant a break
However. the break occurred and every
body connected with the two institutions
yill be glad to know that it is being
bridged
