BY II. c. BYRD,

George Washington scored a some
what unexpected victory over Cath
Ole University at the Y. NJ c. A last
night in the first of two games be-
tween the two universities, 90 to IS
The Hatchetites went into the con-
test with everybody expecting the
Brooklanders to roll up a comforta-
BILE count, but from the first second
or play put up desperate, fast game
instead OF the rather weak opposition
Which would have characterized their
play had they done no better than in
their previous engagements.
Within five minutes after the two
teams TOOK the fool Il was the opinion
OF more than half those present thai
neither could stand the pace which
mad been set during that time. How
ever, both We're in far better condition
than usual so early in the year and
all the players were going Just as
hard at the finish as when they were
Two minutes after play began in the
first half
With all due credit toNhe fine. hard
game put up by George Washington.
catholic University showed a slug
gishness at times, which undoubtedly
was due to the strenuous struggle
through which they were compelled to
night against Lafayette Friday night.
The players did not put the same
fiery aggressiveness into their play
that was evident against the Penn
sylvanians because they had not had
sufficient time to recuperate.
Gilman Inspires Hatchetftes.
George Washington played better
basket ball than it has shown in
long time. The team was made up
mostly of young fellows. and they
did not seem to know that Georae
Washington was not supposed to be
filled with pep" and consequently
oh in hoi \,
the contest from start to finish. Gil
man, the youngster who held down
the right forward position for the
Buff and Blue, was particularly ag-
sressive. and it was the spirit which
he put into the play that served as
an inspiration to the disciples of the,
Father of his Country.
Dunn and Glascott were in the
game for Catholic University every
second. the former putting up fine
floor play and the latter being the
biggest scorer. Glascott threw four
teen goals from the foul line out of
a total of twenty attempts and toss
ed four goals from the floor. thereby
scoring twenty-five out of twenty-six
points made by his quint- Gilman got
ten points for George washington out
of nineteen attempts.
SchlOsser n Good Referee.
Referee Schlosser called a total of
players every few minutes to penal
ize an infringement of the rules. Some
of the players did not seem to like it
and once or twice indicated that they
did not know enough about the rules
to realize for what fouls had been
called.
1t was a well refereed game, free
from unusual roughness. and much
faster than any collegiate contest
played at the "Y" in two years. And
at this point it might be well to inter
ject this comment-that If all basket
ball officials in this section would call
fouls just as Schlosser did last night
basket ball would be improved thirty
per cent within four weeks.
Catholic University held the lead
during about half of the first half. but
the Hatchetites then forged ahead. the
half ending with the count standing 10
to against the Brooklanders. George
Washington went well to the front
during the second half, the score at
one time standing % to IL in its
favor, but a great squirt by the sub
urbanites in the closing few minutes
pulled them up to within two points
of the victors-
