Scores Two Victories.
During the past week Georgetown
University played and defeated
West Virginia Wesleyan and Johns
Hopkins University. The'latter con-
test was one of the most bitterly
fought games of the season. Some
one must have informed the Hill
toppers that the Doctors were out
to hand them a beating, for there
was blood in their eye right from
the start of the rough and tumble
affair. Luckily every one came
through the contest without any
broken bones but not without quite
a few bruises.
