washington's scholastic cham
pionship basketball series formally
opened yesterday at the Coliseum
Ninth street and Pennsylvania ave-
rue, when Western ran away from
the Business aggregation, trimming
them 30 to s, and Eastern, flashing
one of the cleverest guarding COM
binations ever seen in a high school
cage game, trounced Coach Metz

Westerns tossers swamped the
Stenographers in the first game of
the double bill. The game was one
sided from the first whistle the re-
suit never being in doubt. At. no
time were the Business lads able
to break through Westerns clever
defense. Coach Green had a well
balanced combination which romped
through the Stenographers at will
and which, on form shown yester-
day, will have plenty to say about
the disposition of high school toss
ing title this season.
Western showed Glass.
The first half of the Western
Business game ended II to Z. In
the second half the across s-the-creek
boys went out and got their re-
naming points while holding their
opponents to a single point, a foul
counter thrown by Walker. Green
uncovered a capable bunch of sub
stitutes when he threw his entire
second team into the fray in the
last few minutes of the game. All
in all it looks like Green has an
aggregation which will take a lot
of beating before it is ruled out
of the title fight.
The nightcap event of this lid
cracking dOuble-header turned ont
to be the feature game of the bill,
and to the majority of cage fans It
was, to say the least, a big surprise

Central, having romped through
a hard preliminary set Of practice
games, seemed to have a slight edge
over their much lighter opponents

had scored it appeared that the
team flashing the Best guarding

cause they had been already filled.

that the University of Pittsburgh

TORY SCORED
BY HATCHETITES
In FIRST BATTLE
Buff and Blue Five Downs
William and Mary,
40 to 81.

George Washington, playing its
first basketball game of the season,
won a hard-fought victory from the
William and Mary College tossers
last night in the Coliseum, Ninth
street and Pennsylvania avenue.
The final score was 40 to 80.
Though the william and Mary
collegians showed a fast and clever
passing game, they were unable to
cope with the heavier and more ac-
curate Buff and Blue tossers. In John
Loehler, Coach Morse undoubtedly
has one of the best centers who
ever played in this section of the
basket ball woods. LOehler, former
Tech High star, was the mainstay Of
the Buff and Blue football team last
year and seems to be destined to
play the same role this year in the
cage game. He is built for a cen
ter. He has height, reach and
weight and when he gets the ball
within the 15-toot line it is rare
that he misses a shot at goal.
HatchetIte Machine Effective.
Coach Morse uncovered an ex-
tremeIy good cage combination
when he shot Eskew. Stevens, Loeb
Ter, BoetIer and Daily into the fray.
However, he will need more student
supporters than he got last night
before the athletic program ar
ranged for the Buff and Blue school
can hope to be a success.
The local collegians started on
the game with a rush, Loehler,
Stevens and BOetler each getting
floor basket before their opponents
had counted. The invaders then
scored and from then on in the hrst
. half neither side was able to get
any advantage. The half ended with
a 21-to-I6 score.
The Williams and Mary tossers
scame out in the second half pre-
|pared to play the local cOllegians
1ofr their feet. They succeeded for
about FIVE minutes and came within
points of tying the score when
Morse's combination hit their early
stride and stepped out and left their
opponents. They were never headed.
BoettIer and Daily Fine Guards.
In Boetler and Daily Morse has a
couple of capable guards. LOehler
is a star center. Eskew and Stevens,
on form displayed last night would
make better guards than forwards
However. both of them are very ag-
gressive, and may have been of
shooting form in last nights fray.
Tech High tossers defeated the
George Washington Freshmen in the
preliminary game. 10 to Il.

the edge.
During the sponging Off period
Coach Guyon slipped his proteges
plenty OF skull-chatter. Guard
those forwards" and Take your
time on foul shots, Faber," were the
two phrases heard most often as the
Light Blue and White boys listened
to the big Indian.
Essternsrs' Guarding Great.
The Capitol Hill youngsters came
out in the last half and did as they
had been told. Instead of Just a
pair of guards there were fye of
them, and instead of two forwards
there were five. Central got only
one field basket in the second
half, while Eastern got two. Faber
got four of six free shots and My
ers one Of three, while Lemon, for
Central, got one of three from the
l5-foot line.
The ability OF the Fasteners to
cover Centrars fast forwards, cou-
pied with their wonderful physical
condition, which enabled them to
play straight through at top form,
undoubtedly won the game for them.
