Swift, accurate passing, with perfect
coordination between the three fields,
accounted for the victory Of the Florida
avenue basketers. Holton Arms was
crippled by the absence Of Elizabeth
Breckenridge and Jane Wallis in the
center field. which contributed material
~ to defeat, but even had these two
been in the lineup. the II. A. tossers
would have had their work cut out for
them to check the speed uncorked by
the Gunston machine after a rather
slow start in the opening session.
Anne Cameron and Jane Disney
formed so strong q defense for the win
f1ers that, although the ball was at
the Holton basket two-thirds Of the
time during the second half, the latter
found few scoring opportunities.
Christine Ekengren and Helen Davis.

- GEORGETOWN University's bas-
ket bali team rallied gamely IL
n the late stages of Its game
~ with West Virginia in the
American u. gym yesterday
afternoon. but the Mountainous he'd
gained too big a lead and they won
49 to A, In a stirring encounter.
Coach Elmer Ripley's charges can
blame their defeat on their failure to
net the ball from the foul line as with
only fair craftsmanship from the Is
foot mark, the Blue and Gray might
easily have emerged on the long end OF
the count They had 10 chances, but
made good only g.. west virginia had
8 and they shot 7.
Real Battle at First.
It was nip and tuck battle for the
FIRST 10 minutes, then with Glenn and
Taylor forming the wrecking crew, the
Moufltaireers went on scoring spree
and when the half ended they were In
front by 20 to 20.
When the teams took the floor after
the rest period. the Mountaineers, taking
It leasurely In passing the ball and
forcing Georgetown to battle for its pos
session. kept getting men free until they
hsd run the count to 43 to "a in their
favor.
At this stage, Georgetown, taking on
new life and playing smoother basket
ball than they had previously displayed.
began to otitscore the invaders In SEN
sational fashion, and with three min
utes to 60. had reached within Ave
points of their rivals at 44-49. Coach
Stadsvold Of the .Mountaineers had
taken some of his regulars out a short
time before and he shot them back to
defend their lead, which they did TO the
finish.
Pair OF Accurate Shots.
Sleeps Glenn and Taylor, two rangy
forwards, who seemed able to put the
ball through the netting from almost
any place within shooting range and
from almost any position, were the pair
who spilled the beans for the Hillt0ppers.
Glenn ainaSsed 10 points and Taylor Is,
each sending the ball through the loop
seven times from scrirnmage. Several Of
Gienh's came when he stole" the sphere
and speedily dribbled down the floor to
score spectacularly.
Maurice Mccarthy, who swings a
wicked 4golf stick was the ace of the
Georgetown quint when 1t came to scor-
ing, the intercollegiate links champion
making six baskets for a total Of ~
points. Mesmer. who played the best
floor game for the Hoyas. also Melted
the ball four times from scrimmage.
