~ EoRGETOWN's basket bal
team goes North tomorrow fol
a game with New York Uni
versity, right now the leading
quint in the East The Blue and Gray
Notwithstanding that it realizes it i!
hardly up to some of its former court
standards and also that it will bt
against a school strong in all branches
Of sports, expects to carry the fight tc
the Gothamites.
In the last four or five years George
town has been building up quite q
rivalry with New York u. of course. this
rivalry has found expression to a
greater extent in foot ball than in any
other sport. but in basket ball, track
the competition has been keen, though
not so spectacular.
Georgetown'S five against Mount st
Mary's Wednesday night, which it de-
feated easily, exhibited better offensive
form than in any previous contest. II
made good a greater percentage of its
shots and its floor work was of a higher
order.
The only other game this week end
Is that in which Gallaudet goes to
TowSon tonight to play Maryland State
1ve should win about as it pleases. II
1t fails to run up a big score it will be
only because 1t does not care to do so
American University, with substitutes
playing three-fourths of the game, won
by big margin, and Gallaudet is just
about as good as the Methodists.
CEORGETOWN'S 1-mile relay team
" is due to run tomorrow night ir
the Brooklyn College games in
Brooklyn. The Blue and Gray is tc
be matched against Holy Cross, Boston
College and New York University, it is
reported, and either of these three
usually is a match for any opponent
In fact, some of the greatest relay
races that have ever been run in Madi-
son Square Garden have been between
Holy Cross and Georgetown, and some
Of the fastest times made have been
hung up in races between these two.
The relay team will be made up just
IS John O'Reilly stated some time ago
1t would be. Vic Burke, Jim Kelly,
Jack Mara and Chuck Carlin are Stat
ed to carry on their shoulders the bur-
den OF Georgetown'S prestige, and they
have confidence in their ability to make
good. In addition to these men
Georgetown will be represented by A
Kelly in the sprintS. Kelly, sophie
more, has great things predicted for
him by O'Reilly.

night in Baltimore in the first of
two games scheduled with that school,
50 10 20.
The Old Line five had a real struggle
during the first half, being held to a
1912 score, but in the second part OF
the contest had little difficulty register
ing the points necessary to get far
