Settling unrest has taken the
place of the usual calm OF the
Gallaudet campus, and for good
and sufficient reason. In the same
breath, it should be chronicled
that George Washington Univer-
sity is also nearing the point OF
indispensable energy.
TWo-fold are the reasons for
the distemper in the two scholarly
institutions. Tomorrow night,
George Washington's brand new
gym is to be dedicated to its
athletes, and the basketball team
viii spend the evening with Gal
laudetss silent quint. For those
two schools enough has been said
when the mere mention Of the
game has been noted.
George Washington's palatial new
gym Is expected to give that school
some much needed room. Hereto
fore, the Ratchet boys have been
as homeless as a leper. They
were sent from gym to gym and
from defeat to defeat. Now, with
lockers, showers and everything
the boys would be derelict in their
duty If they. did not take on a new
lease on something substantial. like
q successful season..
GaTIaudet has been working its
basketball hopes for some weeks.
Coach Teddy Hughes has tOiled
long and diligently with his men:
He has been playing any team Of
acheduIe the Kendall GreenerS.
He is ready and raring to 60,
and George Washington may be
given the surprise Of its young
life. About ten games have been
played.
On the other side Of the fence,
there il George Washington with
a new gym to be dedicated. The
boys can hardly afford to bust open
the place with a dismal defeat.
Therefore, it behooves them to play
basketball and play it all the time.
Gallaudet has enough reserves to
man a battleship. The starters I'D
the last game were Gyouk ana
Scarvie, forwards; Miller and Clark,
guards; and Riddle, center. FIRE.
ouent substitutions were made. and
some Of the men who got into the
game were Strauss, Wondrack,
Lain, Dickson and Massinlon.
Practically another team, and the
RargiA Of victory for the Gallau-
deters was not close.
George Washington has also
been putting In some preparatory
ticks for the game. The coaches
and graduate managers and
advisers and OnlOOkerS have
thrown down the word that the
team will not stack up with some
Of the George Washington teams
Of the past. This stuff may be
Just so much bunk.
One thing Of great importance In
the outcome Of the game is the line
which will be obtained on where the
best team Of the city halls from.
Both Gallaudet and George Wash
ington have been casting envious
eyes at the mythical basketball
championship Of the city. A win
for George Washington would be a
nice running start. All that would
be necessary to give the impetus
another start would be a victory
over Catholic University. This last
is not the easiest thing to accom-
plish one might think Of.
Bowen and Collar are the point
scorers on the varsity team at g
W. u. Brown takes care of the
center place and Dowd and Reynolds
do the guarding. This lineup is
subject to change and alterations

He's coaching the team.
At any rate, tomorrow night The
collegiate basketball season gets It.
