BY JACK HAAS.

There will be seyaral baSket-odfl
contests played on local courts this
week, but the one at the Y. NJ. c. A.
Saturday night, between George
Washington University and Gallaudet
College. is attracting the most atten-
ton Gallaudet won both games from
the Hatchetites last season in the To-
cal collegiate league, and the latter
quint is just waiting to get back at
them.
Georgetown University is scheduled
10 play two contests at Ryan gym on
The Hilltop. going against West Nir-
sinia Wesleyan on Tuesday night and
Johns Hopkins University Friday
night. They should come out victori-
Gus in both contests Catholic Tri-
sersity is going up to South Bethle-
hem. Pa. to take on the fast Lehigh
University five.
As an opener to the local contest
at the " Saturday night, the Yam
KEGS are slated to go against Gal
Iaudet's reserve strength. This makes
a double bill that should not be miss
ed, and it is expected that one of the
largest crowds of the season will be
In attendance.
Independent Clubs.
The Epiphany Comets" after their
defeat of Gallaudet's reserves last
Friday night. believe that they are
just about ripe TO tackle the best that
the District affords, and will stack
Up against Aloysius tonisht in the
Gonzaga College gym, and will come
back Friday night with Peck Stars as
the attraction in the Epiphany gym.
The Yankees played three games
ISain last week and were Victors in
al of them. On Tuesday night tney
.sfHa;ed the Triangles; Wednesday.
R,re mess High School, and Saturday
gnt they went way down into, oil
Alexandria and walloped the Dread
loughts. leaders in the Alexandria
,ity League. This makes twelve
straight wins for the Yankee quint.
rhis week they will take on the War
Risk five on Wednesday night at the
Boys ~" and Saturday they fight
out in the big ~ with Gallaudet
reserves.
DOwnes Is Missed.
Gallaudet College certainly has
missed Downes in their last two con-
ests. Although the big fellow was
rot in the game a~ain~- job wv
Sirs University, this was not the
eat. Dutch" Weiner. the Yale Uni
'ersity star. practically beat the
Kendall Greeners all by his lonesome.
lie got two double pointers from the
enter of the floor and two from back
Iver-his-head shots that were mere
uck. pure and simple. Then again
a Fountain. upon whom Gallaudet's
lefense Is dependent, went into the
;ame sick and this was the main
-ause Of the defeat of the Buff and
Blue quint. DOwnes has about re-
:overed his strength and will start in
his afternoon to build himself up for
h same against George Washington
University Saturday night.
Catholic University showed that
hey were made of the right stuff
when they came back in the second
session of their game with the fast
3ucknen University quint, defeating
he latter = to ., after being at the
hort end of the count of Is to s at
he end of the first period. Dunn is
.howinS that his shift from forward
o the pivot position has practically
rade the team. as before he was
,laced at center the five did not pos
'ess the punch.
Mcnamara Made Good.
Mcnamara is another lad who has
made good for the Red and Black
i've Right from the start this lad
ras been a big factor in the Brook
anders offense and may be depended
Ipon to get a few two-pointers in
very match "Scotty" Glascott.
Who is playing his final year at the
:. is one Of the best, IL not the
-reatest. hooT-playing guards in the
;outh. "Scotty' can always be de-
Iended upon to get a couple double
'ointers and he is right there on de-
ense.
As was expected Georgetown
University outscored the Hatchet-
tes at the ~" last Saturday night
After the first FIVE minutes the
;ame was never in doubt. 1t is a
,ood thing for the HilItoppers that
hey were not up against a strong
r bunch. as they were away OFF
olor. They did not show their
rsual "spizerinkIum." arI seemed
more or less out of the spirit of
Ilaying. They got the game. so
hats all that counts.
c. W. Must Improve.
George Washington will have to
.isclose some better basketball
han they disclosed against George
own or they will not stand a ghost
r a show against their opponents
n the good old State of PennsyIva-
tis, when they take their extended
SortheTn trip. They show lots of
'ep. but outside of Gilman. the rest
t the team does not appear to be
n. a par with other collegiate
UNITS.
They will have a good chance to
