S. A. |. A. A. Colleges Will Talk
Over Possibilities of Circuit
at Friday Meeting.
BY II. C. BYRD.

| One question sure to be brought VI
at the South Atlantic Intercollegiate
| Athletic Association meeting Friday
night in Richmond will have relation
ship to the organization of baske,
ball league, somewhat along the lines
of the Intercollegiate League. com
posed of Yale, Princeton, Cornell
Dartmouth. Syracuse and other big
| schools. That and the outdoor cham
pionship track meet are the main
questions to be discussed. However
! pertain to athletics in general may be
! taken up.
J Right now there seems to be no real
reason why a basket ball league COM
posed OF South Atlantic intercollegiate
Athletic Association teams should not
make good. A schedule involving two
games for each team with every other
team in the league would develop
good seasons for all the teams and
prove more or less inexpensive. For
instance, if V F. l. We're due to come
to Washington to play Georgetown it
could meet Georgetown. Cathoilc Uni
yersity and Maryland State on consec-
utive nights. and probably George
Washington also. In that way only
small guarantees would have TO De
paid by the home teams. Also that
would hold true when teams here ap-
peared down through Virginia Tor
contests. Schedules could be ar
ranged by officials of the league, ana
there is no doubt that there would De
more prominent college basket ball IN
the south Atlantic section than there
now Is.
GEORGETOWN and Gallaudet are to
meet tonight in the Hilltop gym
nasium. Critics are prone TO say tnat
Gallaudet is not able to put up the
whirlwind basket ball on other floors
that II docs at Kendall Green. and
tonight the Buff and Blue Will get an
ouportunity to disprove that. DoWnes
is a mighty fine player Wherever ne
appears. and he would snow Wen on d
concrete floor or on a cake OF ice.
GEORGETOWN is strong enough, too, 10
make the Kendall Greeners prove
their worth from start to finish. ana
If the latter win few will doubt that
they have one of the best quints IN
the south. However. Georgetown
should get away with the long emu Vi
the count.

mix-up between the two qulnts as TO

p,ciness High has a contest today
with a ouint composed of it's alumni.
Harry Harris, former star at the school
and later a star on the Dartmouth
freshmen team, is expected to be in
the lineup of the alumni.
Toe siegert, probably the best base
ball player Maryland State had IN
1916, surprised everybody by showing
up Yesterday at the college. returning
from France only few days ago. Sle-
CERT was drafted in the fall OF 1915
when he was just entering the junior
class. He did well enough IN the
ARMY to earn himself commission.
When he was asked how he liked the
trip to France he replied: More or
less. with accent on the latter.
Johnny Bowling, former State Col
llege lacrosse player, was at the col
Ilege Yesterday fer the first time since
he left in 1916 to take a commission
in the Marine Corps. Bowling was in
France from Chateau Thierry to the
Argonne, except for a month he spent

wounds. one high explosive shell
wound, and the effects of having been
gassed. He gave an hours talk yes
ferday to the student body, in which
he not only told of his fighting expert
ences but gave lot of experiences
that were very humorous.
