one may use the term in connection
with scholastic athletics, for the de-
feats in foot ball and base ball they

Georgetown's basket ball team must
have played an excellent defensive
game against the Navy at Annapolis
Yesterday. While the Hilltoppers were
defeated by a score Of % to 13, the
fact that the Navy was unable to
count more points than % is indica-
tive of some sterling basket ball by
the Blue and Gray in protection of
their goal. The Navy has many ad-
vantages over the teams it plays in
basket ball. and the result of the
Hilltoppers' trip to Annapolis reflects
credit on them as whole.
Georgetown is to open its base ball
season March 20, with Maryland State
appearing here as its opponent. This
will be the first meeting between the
two schools in major sport in about
seven years.
Georgetown. besides holding the
Navy so well in the basket ball game
yesterday, had to play about three
fourths the contest without its two
regular forwards. Fees and FIavin
were put out of the play about the
middle of the opening half because of
personal fouls.
West Virginia University is said to
be having a hard time arranging the
kind of foot ball schedule for next

managers want their 1919 elevens to
buck against the kind of teams the
Morgantown institution has been
turning out of late.
