enc next game between c. q. and

f5sast night Catholic University
pdAyed in many ways the best game
fEhas played this season, and gave
eI{aence of having put in some hard
lieks at practice in the last week or
tkMdays. Individually and collective

u. W. q. Team Looks Weak.
IN contrast to Catholic University,
George Washington was lamentably
&k in teamwork. The Hatchetites
usfee in while showed flashes OF
gCUd basket ball, but seldom could
KEEp 1t up for more than two or three
Niautes at time. Shortly after the
Gxsning of the second half the team
fKced and pulled up within striking
dGfance, but could not hold the pace
within ten minutes after the game
Ian Catholic University had the
l1ng five on the short end of an
IL to B score, and was out
ihfvery department. The disparity
hokween the two quints did not show
uREo much after that, but was sufi-
cunt at all times TO indicate that
a66ut the only way George Washing
tem could win out was to be con-
sEerably favored by Dame Fortune.
3me after time the game was
n1rred by rough play, at times un-
y10alized by the officials. AS a
tier of fact, toward the end of the
ARn3 half the game began to get out OF
NE4d. and in the second half If went
I'm bad to worse Finally two Of
t. players, the worst offenders, were
gSl1t from the floor. After that the
MY proceeded without any apparent
affompts at open roughness, but there
y6ee a lot of fouls that were not
pnalized
might be said in this connection
he that there is an inclination
aaHong officials toilet fouls go with
of calling them whenever they do
neE actually interfere with the direct
p1lJ. This practice results in the
p48yers feeling that they can take
liberties, and they do. with the result
th1f often the game is out of hand
bGfore even the officials realize it. If
eTery foul, however small and lncon-
sSpuen initial, drew its penalty. there
would be a whole lot cleaner basket
ban between colleges here than now
is-played. Certainly such strict ac-
cssuntability for the players would
tkA Marquis of Queensherry cham
pfoaship.
NAsket ball at it's best is a good
g6ne to watch, but when it is inter-
rvnted by frequent fouls ana rough
ply and wrangles it is just about as
p34f a game as can be Imagined
Which is not far from the class in
which the contest of last night be-
lo4ged. And that is said with all due
rlSpect for those periods of the con-
tel that were free from fouls and
featured by clever passing.
e McDonough Is Star.
a least one individual who took
part in the contest did work of such
cafiber that he would have starred un-
G6k any OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Tko Brooklanders' center seemed all
otxf the floor. and did everything that
Xpod basket ball player should do
He. followed up his passes and his
sksts for the basket, and when the
contest was finished he had Gagged the
bah eight times, scoring sixteen of
bis~team's % points.
94ascott's defensive play was good
ann he started most of the offensive
c6mbinations that resulted in goals
for Catholic University. He was par
ti1MlarIy successful in working a
gN6rd-forward play. which twice re-
sn4eed in "snowbird- shots and goals.
Incidentally, he was the leader of his
team at all times.
Gleason, Glasscotts running mate at
gfHrd, left the game at the end of
thA first half with a twisted knee.
The injury is not likely to keep him
ONT of the game very long.
10th teams presented somewhat
caz1nged line-ups OBrien, star at
CT. last year, appearing in the line
un,-for that team, and Wilson, Cen
tfD& High center a year ago, doing the
htrfors at center for George Wash
ir2ton Wilson showed a lot OF
speed at times, but as far as cover
idaS McDonough was concerned he
fs1ed signalIy. In reality, he tried
to4<lo too much and consequently his
direct duties suffered thereby.
