Langdon won three from Loyalty

Amity No. 2, relinquiShing the
lead. Good scores were recorded
in these contests, with Doc Lewis
346 the highest. Ferguson rolled
we'll in both contests for Langdon,
with DeGlantz setting the pace
for Amity No. 2. Loyalty encoun-
tered no opposition from Federal
City, with Davis and Read betting
the naples to good advantage.
Mt. Pleasant took three
from Harmony and two from
Friendship. Excellent rolling
by C. F. Croft and Logan fea-
tured the attack, the former
turning in 349.
An unusual incident featured
the Columbia-Amity No. / match.

in action yesterday, and only
Business of the trio was able to
win.

The Stenogs ran roughshod
over the Emerson five. 20 to 10
in the Business gymnasium.
Western found the going none
too smooth at Manassas, losing
to Swavely, 20 to 13, while Cen
tral was no match for the
Georgetown University Freshmen,
81 to 18 at the Tech gymnasium.
Something must be men,
toned about Business game
against Emerson. The team
looked great from an early
season standpoint and flashed
. speed that could hardly be
realized.
With midget Captain Lucas
leading the way, the Stenogs
passed, dashed and hot-footed
their opponents into submission
long before the game had gotten
well under way.
Coach Uses Subs
At half time q IL to lead was

was % to 3. And mind you,
Emerson had not scored a basket

a chance to play.
Emerson counted IFS first

NEW MENTORS
GOOD IN
1890

What's become Of all the dis
gruntled old grads? Except at
Pennsylvania, there is little or no
squawking from the various
alumni.
A year ago the sports pages
were filled with reports Of In
vectives hurled by apoplectic
alumni who wanted their coaches
fired, and who in more cases than
one, had their wishes granted.
When the large number OF
coaches who started in new berthS
this year is taken into considera-
ton, the silence along the alumni
front this month Is unusual. to
say the least. And what makes
it even more startling Is the fact
that many trod anything but
smooth paths during the past
season.

ber : schedules the Broo kland and
Northern Red Bird eleyens on the
Brookland field, Fourth and Mich.
dgan Avenue Northeast, at 2:30
o'clock.
Each Of these contests has
. deep meaning to the teams
involved. The CeItics are play.
ing the Apaches in an effort
to upset the champions and
carry great laurels back to
Alexandria.
The Seaman Gunners and Mer-
curys are playing to decide which
team will play the Apaches on
December 81, while the Brook
lands and NorthernS are battling
to settle an old rivalry between
them for another year.
Interesting games should be
the rule in all three of these
meetings. The teams possess
players of the first order, for one
reason, and hold commendable
records for another reason.
Interest High
Even though the season is late
there is plenty of interest in the
tilts. Celtic followers especially
are on their toes for the Apache
meeting in that they firmly be-
ieve that the Seymour Hall boys
can be beaten.
The CelticS will enter the fray
ready to do or die. They have
practiced earnestly all week,
smoothing out this play or that
one for its better working.
The Seaman Gunner Mer.
curry clash will not lack for
interest. Here will be a case
Oc two teams battling for
b. cod and may the best team
win.
Such sandlot luminaries as Al
McAlwee, jake Lewis, Harry Wilt
shire, Cotton Clark, Dan Kelliher,
Ollie Girtno and the Limerick
brothers will appear in this con-
test. to mention only a few.
The Brooklands, rated the
underdogs against the Northern
Red Birds for some reason or
other, will be a fighting team
against Buck Grier's collection
of warriors.
Had Good Season
They have experienced one Of
their best seasons even though
they failed to win a champion
ship. At that they did not lose
q game in the recent Capital
City League unlimited series, ty-
ing four and winning two in six
played, to finish in the runners
up position.
The BrOOkIands have a
silent player i'm their lineup
in Johnny voorhees, who, as .
deaf mute, is one Of the most
capable sandIot players in
the city.
The NorthernS will be ready for
Vorhees and anyone else the
Brooklands have to offer, is the
report from their camp. All Of
which is indication they think
seriously about this rivalry even
though they might hold the
Brooklands sligtly inferior to
them in their minds.
