With one of the best prospects for
q successful basketball season ever
at Catholic University, coach Fred
Rice is daily sending his varsity
squad comprising twenty-five men
through their PAGES in preparation

uled for Washington, that with
Loyola College, of Baltimore. on De-
cember IL.

winning combination last year that
triumphed over the Navy, Wash.
ington and Lee, Bucknell, and La
fayette are in excellent shape and
together with a host of likely look
ing substitutes insures a team that
should rank among the best in the
East
In Lynch, Catholic University un-
doubtedly possesses the strongest
player in district collegiate circles
and 1t Is around this staiwart that
Rice will build his team. Lawler.
who was elected captain again this
year, makes an ideal running mate
! for Lynch and has q keen eye for
the basket, ringing eight counters
against Bucknell last year. These
, two guards are the bulwark OF the
five-man defense OF which system
Rice is a keen exponent.
Breslin. although a midget in
size, proved last year to be one OF
the best forwards yet to don q
Catholic University uniform, and
with last years experience should
have banner year.
In Eberts, Rice possesses a clever
floor man and a whirlwlnd on the
passing game. Fitzgerald the cen cen,
ter, although playing his first real
basketball last year. developed into
| q steady pivot man and around him
much Of the Offenge is built. He Is
Ia tall rangy lad and e. hard man
to beat on the tap.
Garvin, who starred last year on
the freshman team and who was
Vermont alI-State forward two years
ago. leads the rest in competition
for q. berth on varsity. Donohoe'
Mcintyre and Bailey are also OF
ferinR keen competition.
Manager Mulville has compiled
strong schedule, playing some OF
the best teams In the east, includ-
ing the City College OF NeE York,
which yearly ranks among the first
three IN collegiate circles, West
Point. Lafayette, Bucl1nell, Ford
ham, North Carolina, ST. Francis
Of Brooklyn, Johns Hopkins, and
two games apiece with Maryland
and George Washington.
On December 10 the team plays
its first game on It's annual north
ern holiday trip with the Crescent
Athletic Club of Brooklyn, and
plays Fordham. St. Francis and
Hartford K. of G.. on successive
dates. Rice is confident that If he
can get his team in shape by that
time that he should cop at least
three out of four. This year is the
first year that he has had vet
eran combination to work with and
with four out of the five men just
finished with football training the
| team is in good shape physically.

How About These.

~ UT how about the unfortu-
nate young man who swal-
lowed his chew while playing
in sandlot game? Is it quite fair
to charge that against the game OF
football, even as palyed on the
sandlots?
How about the unfortunate lad
whose automobile collided with a
truck as he was going to play foot
ball? Is it fair to charge his
death against football, even as
played anywhere?
How about the unfortunate
young man who died Of injuries
received in soccer game at Pas
sale, N. j.? Why, that's a diffe--
emit kind of football altogether.
Who can say anything of the
physical condition Of him who died
of injuries in a game between the
married men and the single men
at Pembroke, Pa?
No, the gents who keep their tab
on the cruelties of football are as
fair as usual. Like all reformers,
they see but one side of their own
argument and only then through
blue goggles.
Football is a mans game. Only
those in good physical condition
should play it. AS performed gen.
orally, with coaches and trainers
and physicians ever on the watch,
it seldom brings fatal injuries.
That it does at all is unfortunate,
but football as q game should not
be blamed, for instance, because
a sandlotter swallowed his chew
or a motor truck killed a lad on
his way to play somewhere. Any
body but reformer could under
stand that.
