Columbia gymnasium for the basket
ball contest they found nine 200
Founders attired in foot ball uniforms
ready to start hostilities.
There was not much to the game.
The CoIumbiaS knew so little of it
that the referee had to tell them how
to line up for action. Once play got
under way all rules were cast aside.
TIL. Columbias were unable to do any
goal shooting. but they were bent
upon preventing their opponents
scoring and resorted to foot ball
tactics to keep the CAROLS from the

That the five-man defense in bas-

team using it, but not so good for
a court contest, was demonstrated
last night at Brookland, when Cath
Ollie Univerity defeated Duquesne Uni
versity of Pittsburgh. q to 21. After
the BrooklanderS scored a field goal
that gave them a 20-to-13 advantage
early in the third ten-minute quar-
ter they proceeded to give an exhi-
bit.on of that most important phase
of the five-man defense, known as
Freezing the ball" that continued
almost to the end of the period. AS
a result, there was little in that part
of the game to interest onlookers,
particularly, although it proved most
satisfactory to the Catholic Univer-
sity team When real basket ball
was resumed Duquesne made a des-
perate effort to overhaul its oppo
nent, but the task proved too great.
Much of Catholic University's sue
cess was due to Ed Lynch. He DOM
mated the game, covering an i'm
ing Duquesne scoring attempts and
setzing many opportunities to count
for the Red and Black. All told,
Lynch registered six goals from
toss line. Most of his field shots fol-
lowed dribbles to goal OF the WIS.,

best, but he was eliminated by per-
sonal fouls in the latter part of the
fray.
