Georgetown, American and Maryland,
the other college teams scheduled for
games, all are to show their wares on
foreign floors. The Hoyas, victorS over
Canisius last night, % to &c, continue

New York University tomorrow The
Eagles leave today on a two-day jour-

College and Hampden-Sidney. The Old
Liners take the train tonight for

public support, but it should. If there

be glad to lend aid in the development
of athletics, that is Gallaudet. The
Kendall Greeners are as coura-
geous in their attitude toward athletics
as any of the other colleges. In fact,
most of the others might call it day
and let it go at that if they had the
difficulties to overcome that are en-
countered at Gallaudet.

A MEXICAN UNIVERSITY probably
"A will meet two pretty fair basket
ball teams at Virginia Medical
School and Hampden-Sidney. The Vir-
ginia Medics are likely to be older and
more experienced while Hampden-Sid-
ney usually is represented by about as
good five as Is found among the small
colleges.
If the local school comes back with
an even break, it will have done well.
CEoRGEToWN faces two strong
~ teams in Colgate and N. Y. U.
The latter especially turns out good
basket ball teams, and any time any
five from this section goes up to New
York and brings back a Violet scalp it
may well be excused for bit of swag-
gering.
To face Canisius College, Colgate and
N. Y. U. on consecutive nights is about
as much Of basket ball assignment as
any college wants.
MARYLAND engages in its first game
4vl since it lost to Wisconsin in its
opening contest here December
%. The team probably has not i'm
proved a good deal since that time, as
practice sessions have been limited by
the holidays. The Old Liners, though,
expect to come along fairly well from
now on, and Coach Shipley gives an
opinion that they will be mighty hard to
beat in another two or three weeks.
IT begins to seem that there will be
i very little indoor track and field
work among colleges in this section
this Winter. From the present out
look none is making much preparation
for a Winter schedule. Lack of train
ing facilities and virtually no opportu-
mites for competition are the reasons.
Georgetown is about the only college
that has an outdoor track Some of the
others have indoor tracks large enough
to do some training on, but many are
without anything like adequate facilities,
and none has such facilities as some of
the Northern schools, which, with their
big cages, can do almost as good work
for indoor meets as when they get
outdoors in the Spring.
But the biggest stumbling block is
the lack Of opportunities for compett-
ton. So far as is known, the possi-
biIty of North Carolina holding its
indoor games is about the only meet
in which the colleges will get chance
to take part, unless they go North to
Philadelphia, New York or Boston, and,
with the present financial situation in
most Of the colleges, indoor track teams
are not going to do a whole lot of
travelling.
BASKET ball observers, surprised by
ID Catholic US victory over North
Carolina State, today were hailing
Coach Forest CottonS rejuvenated
Cardinals as a smart Quint.
1t was vastly different c. U. team
last night than that which encountered
so much apparent difficulty downing
the much-beaten Maryland State Nor
NAL quint and which lost to Seton Hall
and La Sale. Against the best team
the Cards opposed this season the Cot
ton coached tossers played heads-up
ball
The benching of Capt. Lou Spinelli
and Dick Galiher, who had been per-
forming in regular roles, was vindicated
when Abe Rosenfleld and Gene Angus
terrier, sophomore requirements, fitted
in well with the veterans Bus Sheary
and Eddie White, and another soph,
Babe Gearty. Ability to convert free
throws, of which they cashed in on 10
of IS, coupled with smart passing and
defensive work, won for the Cards.
The Wolfpack took a 6-1 lead, but
c. U. rallied and the lead changed
four times and was deadlocked twice
during the first half c. U. pulled
away with only minutes of the game
remaining. With the score l5-all, Au-
gusterfer and White sunk fouls and
Augusterfer and the smart-playing
Sheary scored from the field to give
the Cards a 22-to-15 lead, which never
was relinquished.
