GALLAUDET'S FIVE
DOING GREAT WORK
Kendall Green Basket Team
Now Appears to Be S1ronq-
est in Section.
BIZ n. c. BYRD.

Gala .fdet seems to have about the
pest collegiate basket ball team in
TIE section. if it's recent performances
are to be taken as a true criterion
And certainly there is no better way
or judging the worth of a quint thar
ny wat 1t accomplishes in its games
After winning several contests by big
scores the Kendall Greeners yesterday
handed the st. Johns College auint a
very one-sided beating, SO to "a. St
Johns presented a veteran five, but
could not accomplish anything against
The Kendall Green men.
Unless Catholic University shows
greater strength than it has claimed
Gallaudet probably will wade through
the District Intercollegiate League
schedule like a small boy through a
puddle of water. Catholic University
played Il game and Maryland State
has not been able TO get suits to equip
its players, and consequently has not
even practiced Gallaudet, having
been playing since before Christmas
and apparently playing we'll, ought
array such as is to be presented by
the other three quints.
Downes took another spell in the
game with St Johns yesterday. ring
ing up fifteen baskets from the floor.
The AnnapoliS men could not begin
TO stop him. despite the fact that he
was opposed by Recher. reputed to
have been the best basket ball center
in Maryland last year. Wilson also
got in some heavy counting for the
team. dropping the ball through the
basket eight times.
Business High yesterday scored an
other game to its list of victories. de-
-feating the Georgetown Props by IA
to IS. The Stenographers seem to
have penchant for winning games
by one point. having captured their
big contest with Tech the day before
by just that margin. Colburn led in
the scoring for Business, registering
five goals from the floor.
Western High Reserves yesterday
won from the Business High Re-
serves by 25 to 10. Nordlinger and
-Altemus of Western led in the scor-
ing.
Another Western team did not fare
so well, though, the five representing
the Sophomore class going down be-
fore the quint wearing the colors of
the Eastern High Sophomore class by
10 to Il. The game was as hard
fought and as spirited as II 1t had
been a varsity struggle.
Central got going in something like
its old-time form yesterday, when it
trounced the Y. NJ c. A. boys quint
by so to TO- The Blue and White
played rings around" the "Y" young
sters. rolling up big margin early
in the contest. Central led at the end
of the first half by 16 to 8.
In the Interclass Basket Ball League
at Central High yesterday the Fresh
man class won from the Junior class
by to 4.
Operations failed to make much of
a showing against the Aloysius Club
last night in the game played in the
GonZaga gymnasium Tommy Deg
mans men failed hardly to get start
ed against the clubmen. With more
or less of a new lineup the Opera
lions quint seemed unable to develop
much in the way of teamwork Nc
Nancy of AloysiuS was the star of the
contest, his floor play being excep-
tional and his throwing of goals very
accurate.
In the Service Basket Ball League
last night the Fort Myer basketers
took the measure of the Navy Yard
men by a score of 10 to IS. The SOL
diers displayed general play that prob
ably was somewhat superior to their
good work of previous contests. How
ever, both the quints were evenly
matched and played hard, fast basket
ball from beginning to end.
