GALLAUDET QU|NT
FACES HARD TASK
Kendall Greeners Meet
Georgetown Tomorrow and
C. U. Saturday Night.
BY H. C. BYRD.

Gal1audet's basket ball team is to
get a chance twice this week to show
it's mettle against strong quints- To-
morrow night it goes up to George
town to meet the Blue and Gray, and
Saturday night the Catholic Univer-
sity five is booked to oppose the Ken
dali Greeners at the Y. NJ. c. A in the
fourth game of the District Intercol-
legiate League. In both contests CAL
players more experienced than its
own.
Georgetown probably will be the
hardest proposition for the Kendall
Green five. John O'Reil1y's men have
been working out in fine form in all
their games. and even against the
Navy. with both forwards out of the
contest after the first few minutes,
it fought harder than any team
that has faced the Midshipmen this
season
Neither is Galaudet going to find
Catholic University. asleep at the
switch Most Of the scoring done by
GaAaudet- has been the result of the
proWess of one player, DowneS. Not
one of the teams Gallaudet has met
this season has produced guard good
enough to smother the big center, but
Catholic University has in it's lineup
a back who will give him lot to
think about before the game is fin
ished. 7Glascott is the young gentle
man referred to in the foregoing sem
ttence, and, while to Gallaudet fol-
lowers it may seem just a little I'M
fair to Downes to credit the Brook
lander with sufficient prowess to stop
the man two Virginia guards failed
to prevent tossing baskets, it might
be well to state that the tosser- has
not yet shown up around here that
Glascott has failed to stop if sent out
to do that task especially. And no
body familiar with the C. L. quint
doubts for a second that Glascott will
be in the game with some such idea
as that buzzing around in that part
of his anatomy some individuals are
pleased to call bean" Gallaudets
weakness lies in the fact that its
other players cannot shoot; at least,
except Wilson, they have not shown
much aptitude for that kind of work.
The funniest thing in basket ball
in month of Sundays around here
is likely TO happen Saturday night in
laudet. 1t should be Gleason going
to the floor with Downes. Downes Is
about six feet two and Gleason, c. U. s
little guard, beside him probably will
look about two feet six.
Central and Tech. Western and
Eastern play this afternoon in the
High School basket ball series. The
former are to meet on the Y. NJ c. A.
floor and the latter on the Central
High court To retain even an out
side chance to win the school cham
pionship Central must defeat the
Manual Trainers. Western and East
ern already are out of the running.
After meeting Technical today, Cen
trail faces another hard scrimmage to-
morrow, when the Tome School outfit
is to come down for another game
with the local scholastic aggregation.
The two teams have met once this
season, in which meeting Central was
the victor by three points. That took
place in the Tome gym, and, of course,
Central ought to be more favorably
situated tomorrow than 1t was when
it fought Tome on the Port Deposit
floor.
BUSINESS High. in lieu of regular
contest tomorrow intends to play a
school The Stenographers have a
game Friday with the Y. NJ c. A.
boys
Western High is to play Loyola
High School of Baltimore Thursday.
The game probably will take place
in the Central High gymnasium.
West Virginia University has
scheduled a foot ball game for next
fall with Princeton This is the first
time a West Virginia eleven has been
booked by either Princeton, Yale or
Harvard.
