season rapidly approaching. the Dis
trict collegiate fioormen will put in
another busy week in filling dates
on the home courts.
This week may also see the wind
up of the high school championship
series, providing Central and Tech
select a date for the game post
poned two weeks ago. The final
games OF the schedule are to be
played tomorrow afternoon. when
Western meets Business at Central
and Tech and Eastern comes to-
gether at the Coliseum.
Second place will probably hinge
on the Central-Tech postponed date.
Tech holds second place with an
even break, winning three and los
ing the same number. Either West
ern or Business has a chance OF
deadlocking second place. il Tech
forfeits or is beaten by Central.
Those on the inside doubt
whether the game will ever be
played. Tech cancelled and Il will
be up to Central to choose a date.
II is said that Central will demand
that the game be forfeited.
Series Was Successful.
In spite of the unpopularity of
the plan of shifting games to Gen.
trail. the series was successful. Cen
trail. with its seasoned line up.
came through as was expected.
while the other teams played true
to form.
Several reasons may be assigned
- q ha ha
OF using Central floor for half of
the games. In the first place it
added an extra burden in the way
of expenses by having four officials
work instead of two. The shift pro-
gram also prevented the youthful
followers of the five clubs from
seeing all the games. And the
players Of Western. Tech, Eastern
and Business had a squawk COM
ing because they were compelled
to play at Central.
The court out at Mount Pleasant
is much longer than the Coliseum
floor. These four clubs had light
and experienced talent. The chas-
ing up and down the roomy ocurt
soon tired the young athletes. They
did not have the strength to step
along at the same pace they set on
the smaller court.
New Hall In View.
Before next season rolls by the
athletic advisers will probably have
a hall large enough to stage two
game sa day. They have one or two
in view and negotiations will be
carried on before next fall to lease
one OF these buildings.
Georgetown's unbeaten team Is TO
make its farewell appearance of the
season on the Hilltop court Thurs
day night against Bucknell. After
this game, the HiIltoppers will rest
a bit before starting next Monday
on a road trip. playing Crescent A.
C.. of Brooklyn; New York Univer-
sity and Rutgers.
Georgetown will likely start the
road journey with a clean slate. Up
TO date. the Hilltoppers won nine
in a row. Tomorrow night the Blue
and Gray tossers will be at home
against Marietta College. 1t Is
doubtful whether Marietta or Buck
nell can mark Georgetown's un-
blemished record
Coach Bryan Morse's George
Washington tossers face a tough
week. Tomorrow night the
Hatchetites will go to the mat with
the University of Kentucky at the
Coliseum. Judging by the way the
Colonels performed at Georgetown
Saturday night, the Hstchetites are
in for one OF the hardest games Of
the season.
On Friday night the Morse crew
will travel to Gallaudet College for
their second floor clash of the sea-
son with the Kendall Greeners. The
Hatchetites beat Gallaudet at the
Coliseum earlier in the season. but
they will find the Kendall Greeners
more troublesome on their home
court.
Catholic University is booked for
two games at home, meeting the
Mt. 81. Mary team on Wednesday
and entertaining Bucknell on Satur-
day.
Followers Of the Brooklanders are
eIated over the showing of their
pets in last Saturdays game at An
napolis. Though defeated. the c. u.
fIoormen gave Navy its hardest
fight Of the season at Annapolis.
The downfall Of the Catholic tossers
can be attributed to the banishment
Of Capt Lynch and Lawlor from
the floor in the final stages. The
Brooklanders won an even break
with the Middies in field baske cts,
but could not overcome Nays foul
tossing. Navy had twenty chances
