STATUS OF BASKETERS
IN SCHOOLS UNCERTAIN

Four teams are to swing into &C.
tion tomorrow afternoon in the high
school basket ball championship
what boys will be in the line-ups
is somewhat uncertain. Tech Is to
face Central in the first contest and
Western will meet Eastern in the
second. Each of these schools was
affected by the decision on rule of
the athletic eligibility code handed
down by the board of principals last
week. but the board was expected to
reconsider that decision at a meet
ing today.
If the players barred from the
series last week are restored. both
Tech and Eastern will be repre-
scented by greatly strengthened
quints. Should the board uphold its
be as bad off as before, and Central
and Business. which does not enter
the series again until Friday, are
likely to lose some of their star
tossers. Western. too. may suffer
further if the decision is not re-
versed.
With the teams lining up as here
tofore, Central should not find II
difficult to beat Tech. nor should
Western have to extend itself to
| overcome Eastern. The Centralites,
| though somewhat spotty in team
play, have in Dey and Birthright two
! OF the best floor players and goal
shooters In the series, while Western
has its teamwork so developed that
IT scores easily and keeps the opposi-
! ton away from points.

In May Georgetown will enter the
Legion games here, the South Allan
tic championships, a dual meet with
Navy at Annapolis and the intercol-
legiates at Cambridge, and in June
the national collegiate games at
Stage Field. in Chicago.
The Hilltop squad. now containing
about fifty men, has been working out
since September. Because of the un-
usually favorable winter weather it
has been possible to send it into daily
drills on the cinder track.
Preparations are being made for
the Georgetown indoor varnival to
ment is in communication with all
of the leading colleges of the east
and expects to have a number of ath-
letic stars in competition.
Lacrosse players at the University
of Maryland are to be quite active in
the spring. Manager Elliott has ar
ranged a pretentious schedule for his
charges. among the games being those
with Lehigh and Johns Hopkins, who
tied for the Middle Atlantic cham
pionship last year; Army and Navy.
The schedule follows:
March 20, Stevens Institute, at Philadel-
April = Lehish, at Bethlehem; a. Navy.
at Annapolis; ~. New York University, at
New York (pendins); ss. st. Johns. at An
napolis.
May 8. Penn State; 12. St. Johns (pend-

Army, at West Point.
Georgetown University will send a
delegation to Philadelphia January
80 to receive from the Veteran Ath-
letes' Association of that city a cup
emblematic of the Hilltoppers' sue
cess in collegiate base ball last year.
For the past seventeen years it has
been the annual custom of the asso
citation to award trophy to the foot
ball team regarded as eastern inter-
collegiate champion. and from now
on the same plan will be followed in
connection with college base ball
along the Atlantic seaboard. Prince
ton is to get the foot ball cup at the

Tips on Playing BASKET Ball;
Correct Rule interpretations
BY ED THORP.

~ ENTER. Tell ME how good
I is your center and | will tell
you how good is your team. "
The pivot man on the team. il pos
sible, should be tall, so he may d.
rect the "tap-off" to his own men
or. at least, keep the opposing center
from directing it to his teammates.
The advantage OF height is great
and counts for much, but the center
must have other virtues. He should
be a good shot. able to cover great
distances fast. and possessed OF an
endurance that will carry him at
top speed through the forty minutes
of playing time. There may be
breathing spells for the guards and
forwards, but the center is on the
go all the time When his team is
, i'll possession OF the ball he must be
maneuvering to open shots in order
10 receive passes and help work the
ball up to the basket. He always
follows up his own shots and, on
account OF his height and ability to
Jump. he should follow up the shots
of his teammates either by taking
the missed ones and shooting them
up again. or by passing to a free
man. When his team loses the ball
he must at once get on the defense
md use his height and reach to in
tercept passes and to take the
missed shots of opponents off their
blackboard.

Arthur Saxon, the German. was
the best litter of weights ever pro-
