Yankees Of "Y" and Alloy
sius Club Clash in Cru
cial Test in Independent
Rank Colleges are Busy.
By JACK HAAS.

The only basketball game OF
interest to be played on local
courts this week is the one SEIZED
uled at the Y. NJ. c. A. on Sat
urday night between the "Y''
Yankees and the Aloysius quints.
There is more than ordinary in
terest in this contest, as not only
IS it to be played for the benefit
Of the family of Detective Arm
strong, who was shot at Union
Station a few weeks ago while
attempting an arrest, but there is
L feeling of intense rivalry be-
.ween the two teams that will
be contestants in this battle.
6oth teams have been anxious to
get at each other and are being
2rin,ed for the match.
To Play Humphreys.
The Georgetown University five will
get back into the game after a lay
or Of several weeks. playing the Camp
Humphreys team on Friday night in
Ryan Gymnasium. This game was
scheduled to tune up the Hilltoppers.
but 1t is claimed that it will be a real
contest. The team representing Camp
Humphreys is composed of officers
who were former basketball stars at
West Point. They claim to have a
fast. aggressive and goal shooting
team that will give the Blue and Gray
quint = little more than they are
looking for.
II has been stated that the reason
for Catholic University's defeat at the
hands of George Washington Satur-
day night was because of the Brook
landiJes' hard contest with Lafayette.
played the night before. A direct and
accurate line on the two quints can
be obtained after their contests of
this week against the Navy at An
napolis. Catholic University plays
Navy on Wednesday afternoon and
George Washington plays them Sat
urday afternoon.
Navy Is Started.
After losing three games in success
sion to Washington College. Delaware
College and the University of Pennsyl-
vania, the Navy five got into their
stride and played great game
against Princeton which they lost by
only two points. They have won in
their last two starts, defeating Stew
ems Institute and also Lafayette. They
won from Lafayette by a margin of
seven points, while Catholic Univer-
sity was lucky to win by two. 4 large
crowd of loyal supporters will ac-
company both c. U. and G. W. U. to
Annapolis.
Catholic University received a set.
back that they did not expect at the
hands of the Hatchetites Saturday
night. A great deal OF credit is due
both the team that was selected to
represent George Washington and also
their coach. Harry Almon. As stated
IN The Herald last week. it is evident
that Coach Almon has at last struck
on a winning combination that has
lots of spizerinktum and is able TO
put the pill through the hoop at every
opportunity. The future contests be-
tween these two team and also with
the Kendall Greeners will be watched
with interest.
Gallaudet Going Good.
Last season in the intercollegiate
League, Gallaudet College trimmed
both Catholic University and George
Washington University in all the con-
tests played with them and it is ex-
pected that all four contests, two with
G. L. and the same number with the
Hatchetites. will be the largest at
tended basketball games this season.
Gallaudet has not had a game this
season iE which they had to extend
81 n, k.uf
have been able to run up large scores
in every contest. The deaf team cas-
lily defeated the Loyola College five
at Baltimore Saturday night, by tive
points more than scored by c. L.. at
Brookland against the same team.
During the past week another quint
has been organized in the District
that is expected to give some of the
quints that are already claiming the
championship among so-called anna
teuT teams a hard fight for the hon
ors. This five will represent the
Church OF Epiphany Gym. on G street
northwest, and have gotten together
a combination that will be hard one
to beat. Zeh. Dean. Alec Gill and
Hen Jawiss are working out at for
ward: Brubaker and PIummer are
after the pivot position and Reed.
Cruickshank. Boyd and Harris are
fighting it out for guard
All Former stars.
Zeh. Dean. Cruickshank. Brubaker
and Reed are products of Epiphany:
Jawiss is from the wilds of George
town: Gill and Plummer are former
teammates. having played together
at the Y. NJ. G. A, and with the old
Northminster team Sam Boyd was
one of the stars OF the old Terminal
Station League. and Harris. Rex
football star. formerly played at
Dartmouth and West Virginia Uni
versity. Games can easily be ar
ranged by addressing Manager Bru-
baker. 1917 G street northwest.
AS was expected by those who know.
Technical High defeated Business
High in the opener last Friday after
noon. Everyone interested thought
that these contests. including the de-
feat Of Western by Central would be
hard fought and they were. As far as
the seasons title is concerned il is a
question as to just which one of the
above teams will be able to land.
