Greeners Not in Form.

The George Washington duint
won out in listiessly played bas-
ket-ball game with Gallaudet Col
Iege at the Central Coliseum East
night by the count sf 32 to 90 the
losers making a dying effort to win
in the last few minutes of play.
The Kendall Green men showed very
little in the way of classy basket
ball, and the effect OF this made the
game rather slow and uninteresting
at times. The Hatchetites had a
star in Eskew, a player whose fu-
ture this season Is rosy. But for
him the contest would have Jagged
along until the forty minutes Of
play were up.
The Tangy forward only regis
tered one goal from serimmage. but
his classy passing and quick often
siye play counted in the scorfn e
of many baskets by his mates. He
follows the ball, not the man. and q
keen eye puts him at an advantage
many times during the game. Bailey
Springston, the other varsity for
ward, turned in a good account of
himself before making way for a
substitute in the final minutes OF
play, with four baskets. This man

G. w. Has Good Defense.
George Washington's guarding
game was well worked out, few
slip-ups being made by them on the
defense. The guards, Daily and
Capt. BOteler, played an exception
ally clean game, just one foul bel ng
registered to a G. w. U. guard, and
that to Daily when he and Boteler
were guilty of hopping the same
man. Coach Aorse's men play the
tive-man defense in fine stye. Ev-
cry game they play finds an i'm
rrovement in 1t.
