When the Gafiaudet basket tos-
sers scored their victory over
George Washington last night, the
followers of the team saw the close
of what undoubtedly was the most
successful season the Kendall
Greeners have ever had on the
court. The teams record consists
of eleven victories and only four
defeats. However, it is not so much
the figures themselves as the power
of their opponents that appears
most impressive. for among the
teams the Kendall Greeners met and
defeated are some of the strongest
in the South Atlantic section. II
must also be borne in mind that Oh
the four defeats the team suffered.
two were later avenged by over
whelming victories, and one was tho
result of a return game with the
University of Virginia five at Char
lottesville, Va. after the Kendall
Greeners had won the first fracas
The only instance where the team
was beaten beyond question was in
its second start of the season when
1t ran up against the strong Navy
FIVE. a team that went through its
season unbeaten.
In downing George Washington
University last night the Kendall
Greeners proved conclusively that
they were the class of the District

his debut there on the opening day
OF the Spring meeting of 1918 in the
first race of the meeting, a dash of

right handsomely from no less clever

won in August at Saratoga.
