HAVE GAMESAWAY
Georgetown and GaIIaudet
Play Hopkins and Camp
Humphreys Tomorrow.
BY II. &. BYRD.

Local colleges are to take part in
two basket ball games tomorrow.
Georgetown being scheduled to go to
Baltimore to play Hopkins and Gal
laudet TO Camp Humphreys for a con-
test with the Engineer quint. 1t will
be the first real game for either team
since the middle OF last week
Georgetown is strong enough to
beat Hopkins. but. of course. will be
under the disadvantage of playing
on strange floor. And basket ball
is distinctly a game for the home
team. Gallaudets showing will de-
pend considerably upon whether
Downes is in shape to play. If the
big center continues out of the game
the Kendall Greeners should consider
themselves lucky to win, considering
what they have been doing in games
in which Downes has not taken part.
Georgetown is to send relay team
and Connolly to compete in the Brook
Ign College games Saturday night. 1t
is not known what team the relay
four will be matched with, but Con-
molly is to run in the 1.000-yard in
vitation race. Griffith. ARRAY. Nc
Donough and LIE Gendre are to make
up the relay quartet.
According to Charley Cox. the
Georgetown squad which competed
in the meet in Buffalo last week did
exceptionally well under adverse con-
by about five yards in a medley race
for which it had not been specially
trained. and Connolly was whipped
in the mile run by a man who had
handicap of 165 yards. Connolly used
up so much of his energy in catching
great handicap that he did not have
the strength in the stretch to keep
ahead of the same man.
Such a handicap as that given the
Hobart College runner who beat
Connolly is utterly ridiculous. That
tends to kill all desire on the part
of the best men in the game to COM
pete. as their chances of winning are
almost nil. Big handicaps indoors
always mar races. and the stars in
such events have little chance to get
through the crush" Handicaps in
doors should not be so large as out
doors because of the different run
ming conditions. and 165 yards is too
much of a handicap to give in mile
race under any conditions
Georgetown's basket ball game with
George Washington Saturday night
in the Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium Will
be watched closely by followers of
improved showing against Catholic
University. a little more than a week
ago foretells possible victory.
While nothing would stimulate attn
1eticS at George washington as mucn
as a victory over Georgetown-and
for that reason it is hoped such
victory is attained-it is improbable
that the downtown school will win.
Georgetown is not going to be so
much bothered by the Y. NJ. c. A.
floor as by some other floor on which
it might play; the ~" gym Is very
similar to the one in which George
town plays, though little longer
Practically the same kind of out-of-
bound plays prevail, and conditions
governing the teams are much the
same as in the Georgetown gym.
Georgetown playing in the Y. NJ. c. A.
gym is not near So much at d1sad-
vantage as the average team playing
on a foreign floor.
Johns Hopkins has sent Maryland
State a challenge for dual boxing
tournament to be held early in March.
State has not yet signifed its inten-
ton to refuse or accept the invitation.
Catholic University shortly will get
J out formal announcements of its meet.
to be held March 6, with official state
ments relative to conditions of the meet
and the events. About the only prob
I, lem worrying Charley Moran. athletic
director. is the matter Of seats. Moran
(, has a lot of collapsible seats ordered.
but has been scurrying around to locate
some circus seats in the event some tie
up in freights prevents the arrival of
, the seats in time for the meet
