GALLAUDET MEETS
V.P.L. QU|NT TODAY
Game at Kendall Green to Be
Played at 4.3O-Busi-
ness Defeats Central.
BY n. C. BYRD.

NFSinld Ioiylecnnlc institutes bdS-
ket ball team plays its final game here
this afternoon. when it meets Gallaudet
at Kendall Green at 80 O'Clock The
| Virginians have high hopes of getting
away with the last contest in Washing
ton, though they recognize from what
has been told them the difficulties to be
encountered in attempting to defeat the
Kendall Greeners on the latters' floor.
Gallaudet will start the same team
against V. p. l. that defeated C. L.
a week ago. The visitors have a
competent, well balanced aggregate
and can suit their style of play to the
Gallaudet floor. With the limitations to
the passing game at Kendall Green,
nothing else may be expected this after
noon but the hardest kind of close de-
fensive game on both Sides
Last night Georgetown ran true to
form in beating V. p. 1. in the Ryan
gymnasium. 1t was not thought that
the visitors would be able to get away
with the long end of the score against
the Blue a d Gray, as they would be
playing under greater disadvantages
than when facing Georgetown. For the
liTSL nan OF the opening perlCu the game
was close, but gradually after that the
Hilltoppers pulled away from their oppo-
nents
Georgetowns team played hard
defensive basket ball during the first
half, but as the game wore on began
to open up with some good passing.
Players of both teams got in and
fought hard for possession OF the
ball. and at times the play was not
any too gentle The score at the end
of the contest was: Georgetown. 80;
V. T. J., 81.
Parrish, center on the V. P. I. five.
is one of the best shots from the foul
limo seen here in many a day. He
seldom misses a free toss, and usual
ly drops the ball through the ring
without even touching. Parrish is
also pretty fair shot from the floor,
especially on long throws. The
young man in question is about s
feet inches and is built proportion
ately-
Yesterday mention was made in this
colu@n of the player at guard for
" P. J.. who is without his right
hand. He was spoken of as Brooks,
which was a mistake, as Henry Crisp is
the man who has been making such a
fine record despite the handicap. Crisp
was something of a star athlete at
Hampton Sidney before he entered V.
p. ]. 1t will be remembered that Crisp
is the second one-armed athlete who
has starred at V. p. L, the other having
been Hodgson. who was the best punter
in the south about twelve years ago.
While here on the basket ball trip
Charley Bernier dire ctor of athletics at
V. p. l. closed up with Georgetown,
Catholic University am. Maryland State
for six games of base ball, two with
each institution. The games are to be
played the latter part of May.
Business High. by defeating Central
yesterday. won the championship of
the high school basket bali series. So
far this season not one of the four
other schools has been able to chalk
up a victory against tie Stenographers.
Yesterday the Centralites were sent
down on the short end of q 22-to-17
count in what undoubtedly was the
best scholastic contest of those that
have taken place in the series this
season. Both teams put up fine basket
ball. and there was not dull moment
during the contest, nor single mo-
ment when it did not appear that
either quint might get the victory.
Goetz, one of the Business guards, was
the handspring of the Business de-
Tense, and in the last few minutes of
play shot three baskets that made
him almost the whole works" on the
oHtHsI'e- eSleiudy tohteSl Keeps
Business in front in the standing of
the teams, with six victories and not a
defeat charged against it.
While Business and Central were
contesting in the "Y7 gymnasium the
Technical and Western teams were
battling in the boys 'Y" gym in al
most as hard a game. Tech won from
Western by IS to IS.
Sexsmith of st. Adams in a game
with Westerns reserve quint shot
nineteen baskets from the floor. scor-
ing SO of 81 points made by his team.
st. Adams won by 81 to z. 1t is only
giving Sexsmith due credit to say that
he has been playing mighty fine bas-
ket ball for ST. Adams and, undoubt-
edly. classes up among the best scho-
lastic players in the city.
