G. w. u. DEFEATS STATE
BY 81. C. BYRD.

Catholic University suffered ItS
first defeat in the District Inter
collegiate Basket Ball League last
night when it succumbed TO Gallaudet
by a score of II to 10. The Brook
landers started poorly and did not
begin to play their usual hard fast
game until about the middle of the
second half In the other contest
George Washington defeated Mary
land State by % to u
Nothing slow developed in either
contest, the players of all four teams
going about their efforts as if the
weight of both games rested on the
shoulder of each individual. Gallaudet
early in its contest with c. L showed
greater aptitude for shooting baskets
though il did not get near as many
opportunities to place the ball in the
basket as did the Brook i@nders,
George Washington and Maryland
State fought nip and tuck for SIX or
seven minutes. but after that the
Hatchetites gradually began 10 forge
ahead, and maintained d comfortable
lead until time was called. after the
whistle blew the last time
Loses Chances to Score.
The first half between c. L. and
GalIaudet was peculiar in many ways
The Brookland players once got SIN
chances 10 TOSS the Dali INTO Nle
basket without budging from posi-
tons directly under the goal, but not
once did the ball drop through. On
the contrary. il seemed that every time
Gallaudet got fair shot 1t made good
the points DowneS particularly got
two exceptionally difficult goals from
the floor in the first half. Once he
raised and showed his way up of the
floor and made goal by tossing the
ball into the basket over his OPP
moments head and the time he
made an almost straight shot FOR the
rim. barely cleared it and registered
his goal because he had shot with re-
verse english
The first half ended with the count
standing 10 to 4 in Gallaudet'S favor
Downes shot two goals from the field,
Dohrman and Bouchard one each and
Downes also registered two goals from
the foul line. Against these points C.
u had been able to get only lone
|, field goal, thrown by Hopke. and two
goals from fouls by Glascott.
c. o. Five Takes Brace.
In the second half McDonough took
Hendricks place at center for c. L.
and Corwin wen in at forward TO fill
AcDonoughs position. The change
seemed to better the teams play and
put more life IN the work. H0uze, ~
took DohFman's position at forw4T1
for Galiaudet. got in some accurate
the four field goals registered by his
quint in the second half of the play.i
Catholic University APPEARED too
confident in the opening half Of the
that Galfaudet was in TO fight for "a
whole hide or none" il was too late.
Twies< the Brook flanders tied up the
count once at fifteen all and again
at seventeen all, but could not get
the point or points needed to put
them out in front.
Glascott hardly played UP To his
usual standard II any particular
fault could be found with bin, il was
that he tried to do too much Gailau-
Diet was watching him every minute
TO prevent TIE brilliant shots that he
usually makes following an advance
of the ball by himself three quarters
the length of the floor. He did not
shoot fouls as accurately as in
previous contests, and Il was not
until the second half that he pulled
his team together. as he usually
shows himself capable OF doing.
Gallaudet Men Determined.
Every man in the Gallaudet lineup
went into the contest to make good,
il the spirited nature of the work
of the team could be taken as true
criterion There were moments when
the play was exceedingly rough. much
too rough for basket ball, though
both teams were at fault in that.
George Washington and Maryland
State began as if they were going TO
put up a hard close game, but the
Eatchetites soon proved Themselves
superior and got lead which the
Marylanders were never able TO over
come George Washington piled up its
points for the most part through ex-
ceiient shooting by Witt and Laid.
The former got six goals from the
floor aud four from the foul line.
whilA the latter registered four from
the floor. Both men displayed such
accuracy in shooting that practically
every time they got under the basket
for a clear shot they made good.
