1t will be the Blue and Gray's nrst
game in more than week:
The Hilltoppers would also nave
taken a Northern trip for three
games, but cancellation on the part
of one of the New York teams listed
resulted III a decision to abandon the
Jsunt.
Though William and Mary fell be-
fore George Washington last night,
1<to 22. the Williamsburg lads showed
considerable strength and tonight
likely will provide Georgetown with
plenty of opposition. In Snyder the
visitors have an eagle-eyed forward
and they have other tossers of ability.
In vanauishing the Indians from
Williamsburg last night George Wash
ington continued It's recent sterling
work. The Colonials played smart
basket ball and showed that their re
cent victory over American I. could
not be considered in the light of
fiuke, but that they really have an
improved combination.
Legs" Goodson, latest acquisition
to q. w. team, has proved to be the
cog needed to round out well bal-
anced machine. He played rorking
good game last night, as did Jim
Carey.
Snyder Ga silly was the star for VII
liam and Mary, scoring of his team S
IA points.
Catholic University ended its North
ern trip last night by taking the short
end of q 1921 score from Fordham.
The victory was particularly sought
by the New Workers as the Brookland
quint is one of two that have scored
this season over Fordham. The home
club held decided advantage last
night and after a strong start by
Catholic University after the first few
minutes. Catholic University began
briskly registering three points in the
opening minutes, but Fordham soon
swept to the front and maintained the
pace. White and Do gherty were prin-
cipal scorers for Fordham, while Long,
Foley and Harvey did about all of
Catholic University's counting.
Little time will be lost by Catholic
University In reSuming activities on
their home court. Determined to re-
deem themselves for the rather dis
astrous trip during which they won
but one of four games Coach Fred
Rice's men win take the floor at
Brookland tomorrow night entertain
ing William and Mary.
However, the most interesting game
from local standpoint tomorrow
night is that bringing together Ameri-
can University and Galiaudet at Ken
dali Green. The Methodists con-
Quered Gallaudet recently, and, smart
ing under this defeat, Coach Teddy
Hughes men can be counted upon
to put up stiff fight tomorrow night
In an effort to even the slate with
Springston's proteges.
With Jim Birthright again in the
game, American University toyed with
Shenandoah College last night as it
piled up 40 points against Is for the
Old Dominion lads Capt Sawyer
showed a particularly keen eye in
caging seven goals from the floor to
lead the Methodists' attack,
While Catholic L. and William and
Mary and American L. and Gallaudet
are entertaining college court fans
here tomorrow night Maryland's five
will be flashing its wares at Raleigh,
n. c., agai.st North Carolina State
State has a sturdy team that is GER
tain to provide the Old Liners with
the stoutest sort of opposition.
Karl Wildermuth, Georgetown
sprinter, who gave a sensational per-
formance in the New York A. C. last
Monday night when he showed his
heels To a crack field also is fine
student. Rev. Charles w. Lyons, $.
j., president Of the University. at a
meeting of the faculty and student
body yesterday presented Wildermuth
with "a testimonial for excellence in
studies. President Lyons referred to
the fact that the majority of the Blue
and Gray athletes were doing well in
