more thas two points separated the
The first half wound up with the
and Gray, but it was not a minute
of the contest before Hayden had c
put 1t on even terms again.
Following that goal of Hayden's
both teams waged one of the fastest
and most furious basket ball strug-
giles ever staged on a Washington
floor, If the previous part Of the game
of last night be excepted. Point by
point the two teams climbed to where
the figures representing nineteen
stood opposite the name of each
school. Then it was great and even
battle for nine long minutes, the game
being waged for that unusual time
without either quint being able to
change the figures on the scoreboard.
Visitors Tire Near Close.
Then Florence threw a goal from
the foul line, which set Georgetown
students roaring with delight, only to
have them drop to their seats
moment later when Hayden got an
other point for the Blue Grass lads.
But then Zazallrs goal from the floor
put Georgetown ahead, and 1t grad
ually increased the lead over Quint
which was tiring and won by the
margin already told.
GeOrSeIO"n . VICTORY was UcSSTNcu.
1t outplayed the Kentucky team in the
floor game and its defense was brill
liant against a combination of fast
players. True, in the latter stages OF
the contest the kentuckianS suffered
because two of their best men were
sent to the sidelines on personal fouls,
but that did not detract in the least
from one of the most brilliant vic
tories a Blue and Gray five has scored
in many seasons in the Hilltop gym.
Had Georgetown possessed a goal
shooter from the foul line as accurate
as were Levin and Hayden, the game
would have been decided by a wider
margin. Levin threw five goals out of
the six attempts he was allowed, and
Hayden was successful in the same
number of tries for the same number
of points. Georgetown got only six
goals out of it's fifteen attempts,
neither Florence nor Smith being able
to locate the basket consistently.
kentuckians Are Outweighed.
Georgetown's quint outweighed the
Kentucky aggregation until two
heavier men were substituted near
men Kentucky sent in to take the
places of the lighter ones were not
near so capable, Toward the end of
the game Georgetowns superior
weight told on the visitors, and the
advantage of a home floor and no
travelling COuuleu ASdNAy Ia tuo oS-
cision won in those closing moments
of play.
Hayden of Kentucky and o'conneli
of Georgetown were the outstanding
figures. The former, hero of the
Southern Intercollegiate A. A. tourna-
ment at Atlanta last winter, was
everywhere and a dangerous factor
in every minute of the game. While
his name was handed to the scorers
as a guard, he never played the posi-
tion. Even before the ball was tap
ped OF he moved over to the for-
wards position and exchanged places
with Capt. Levin, whose name W>nt
in the score book as forward. De-
spite playing last night with leg
covered with adhesive tape as pro-
lection for Charley horse" Hayden
put up a brilliant exhibition. He was
good in everything he attempted.
O'Connell was not so spectacular
as Hayden, but none the less valua-
BILE to his team. There never was
moment when the Hilltop captain was
not in the game, and always ne was
the pivot around which the other
stern defense Of their goal or fought
their way to positions from which
they might attempt shots at the op-
posing basket. Others in the game
played well, but these two men stood
cations and as the keystones of the
defensive and offensive play.
FIavin's Floor Work Brilliant.
Jack Flavin's brilliant shooting
from the floor practically won the
game, considering the game only
from the standpoint OF the actual
shooting Of points. Several times he
dropped the ball HIgl through the sI3s;ans basket
Six times was he successful in scor-,
