DR.. Robert Moran and DR.. John
LYONS, Georgetown alumni, last night
entertained the Blue and Gray boxing
team at dinner at the Occidental Hotel
Successes attained during the last sea-
son and prospects for next constituted
the major part of the conversation dur
ing the evening.
The opinion was voiced In this col
unn last week, said opinion being based
on the showing made here, that the
Oxford Cambridge lacrosse team had
very little chance to take back to Eng
land the Flannery Cup, trophy pro-
vided many years ago for competition
between England and the United
States.
visitors will run up enough points in
some easy games to give them margin
that the stronger schools never will
be able to overcome. The cup Is
awarded on total point score. In
other words, II the EngliShmen score
20 points against all American colleges
they play and the American colleges
abroad. Right now the visitors are
so far In the lead by virtue Of their
scores against two very weak twelveS
that it is doubtful If their lead will be
overcome. The chances are 1t will not
be. Eighteen points against Washing
ton College against q zero and 8 yes
terday against Virginia with another
zero for the American college Is run
ming up a lead with vengeance. So
far the Engiishnen have scored a total
of "a points, while the points scored
against them total only II, This means
that in the remaining II games the
teams In this country must win 10
games by an average of 2 points per
game and ! game by margin OF 8
DO1nCS. ana II Inc showing OF LIE
visitors against Navy is q true cri-
terion, that Is not likely to be accom-
plished. ~
Another rather interesting angle to
the surprising performances of the Eng
lish lacrosse twelve in its three games
since it made such poor showing
here against st. Johns Is given by Q
man who has followed 1t closely. Here
Is his statement:
"The greater strength shown by the
English lacrosse team since 1t did such
poor work here in the opening game
of it's trip may be accounted for BY its
switch from the English style OF garse
to the American. English teams haNS
only six men in the attack, while Amer
lean teams invariably use eight. In
their second game, that with Wash.
ington College, the Englishmen turned
to the American style and were sue
cessful.
Another point In connection with
the trip the English team Is making
Is that since the first game they have
virtually been coached by an American
Louis Korn, American referee, has been
with the team and doubtless Is Eespon-
sihle for the shift In style OF play.
In other words, If the Flannery Cup
goes abroad Il will not be for any small
measure because an American u tutor
ing the visiting team In the much more
effective American style of play"
