VIRGINIA T0PLAY
GALLAUDET QU|NT
Charlottesville Basketers Due
to Appear at Kendall
Green Tonight.
BY H. C. BYRD.

University of Virginia is to appear
here tonight in a basket ball game.
the first varsity contest in which
Virginia team has taken part in
Washington in three years. The
Charlottesville Quint is to meet CAL
laudet in the Gailaudet gymnasium.
Play is scheduled to begin at o'clock
Practically nothing is known of the
strength Of the Virginia quint. The
Charlottesville institution has played
no important games. If it has, the re-
ports of them that have reached
Washington have never found space
in the newspaper columns. The team
is said to have on it at present three
members of the 1918 aggregation. but
the team then hardly played a sched
u1e broad enough to allow it to be
satisfactorily gauged.
Virginia will be compelled to put
up a mighty good article of ball to
defeat Gallaudet in the Kendall Green
gymnasium The Kendall Green men
are good basket ball players anyway,
and on their home floor are just about
twice as strong. comparatively, as
elsewhere.
Georgetown and George Washing
ton tomorrow night stage the first of
their two annual basket bail contests,
the game being listed for the Hilltop
gymnasium. Georgetown won both
will capture the long ends of both
scores this season. While the Hatchei-
ties have just about the same COM
bination that wore their colors a
year ago, the team as a whole does
not seem to be near so strong as that
which fiaunts the Blue and Gray.
Another game is to be staged to-
morrow night in the District Inter
collegiate League, Catholic Uniyer-
sity and Maryland State being due to
oppose each other. These two teams
in the opening of the schedule, and
a victory for either will put the win
ner in the lead. Last week Catholic
University defeated George Washing
ton without much trouble, and Mary
land State barely got away with the
laudet. The odds seem to favor
Catholic University, it having the
most experienced combination, but
the contest ought to be hard played
and well worth watching.
Two scholastic basket ball games are
scheduled today, Technical being due
to meet the Y. M. c. A. boys quint
and Western to play Gonzaga. So far
this season the work Of the Technical
and ~" boys has been pretty much Of
the same kind, 1T Gonzaga has a bet
ter record than Western.
Central goes to Alexandria tomorrow
to try its strength against the Episco-
pal quint. Episcopal won from Central
Wednesday in the Central gymnasium
by q small margin and on its own
floor should be the favorite.
Two more games are liste today In
the high school freshman series.
Techs first.year men go to Western
and Centraps to Eastern.
Harvard is going to develop foot
ball next fell on a basis that dates
just little farther back than a pre-
war" basis. Percy Haughton IS going
to coach the team. Harvard evident
ly is not so well satisfied with the
brand of teaching it's squad got in the
year before the war, when it was not
under Haughton and when Yale de-
feated it by two touchdowns.
Maryland States basket ball team
is fortunate in that it has three men
who are more accurate shooting at
the basket than the average player.
Eiseman and Gilbert. the forwards,
are good at tossing the ball through
the rings. and Raedy. center, also can
locate the goals pretty well
Pop" Lanigan is back at the Uni
versity Of Virginia. Lanigan again
has charge Of basket ball and track
athletics He also acts as assistant
to DIR. Lambeth in physical education.
Lanigan has spent his time during
the war as physical instructor at an
aviation camp.
