ALLAUDET'S basket ball team, which is on a trip that will wind up its season, was_defeated in_the first game of the jaunt by Ursinus at Collegeville, Pa, last night, 32 to 18. Boatright kept Gallaudet in the running by five goals from the floor, but the shooting of his teammates was poor. The Kendall Greeners will engage Temple University: of Philadelphia, Fordham, New York Silents and St. John’s of Brooklyn before return- ing home. The Kendall Green basketers have had a shorter schedule than usual, the number of games being comsidered but have made a fairly good record. They have not any outstanding ac- complishment, such as their victory one year over Virginia, but split even with George Washington and took the measure of several other schools. T team has labored somewhat under the disadvantage of losses sustained be- cause of graduation last year of such stars as Wilson and Downes. Only one collegiate basket ball game is to be played here tonight, Marietta College being due for a contest at Georgetown. The Ohioans usually have a strong quint. The visitors will have to present a real team, though, if they are good enough to take a fall out of the Hilltoppers. Thirteen battery candidates for Georgetown’s base ball team reported to Coach O'Reilly yesterday and were sent through a light workout. Ken- yon and Ward. catchers, and Reynolds, Hyman and Formosa, pitchers, were the veterans of the squad. Those re- porting for the first time were King, Cunning] and Clifford. catchers, and Bissonette, McCarthy, Ryan, Cro- inin and Middleton, pitchers. +If the present weather conditions continue, three Unjversity of Maryland squads will go out for practice next Monday—track, lacrosse and base rear, but plans now practically make ure of a team, which will have a schedule of five or six games. PENN DOWNS COLUMBIA Gains Undisputed Lead in Col- legiate Basket Ball League by 18-to-18 Vietory. NEW YORK, February 17.—In a game that was desperately fought through every minute of play and in which the result was in doubt until the final whistle, Pennsylvania’ basket ball team triumphed over the Columbia five last night in the strug- gle for leadership in the Intercol- legiate League, 19 to 18. period closed with the tally 8 to 8 in favor of the Quakers, but before the closing half had progressed six minutes Columbia had taken the lead at 9 to 8. as the result of two floor goals by Johnson and one by Watson. As a result there was some shifting in the standing of the teams. Penn became the undisputed 'leader, with three glmel won and one lost, while Columbia, which had been tied with the Quakers for first place, dropped into third position in a three-cornered tie with Cornell and Princeton, Dart- mouth moving up to second place. It was a nip and tuck game all the way. and was particularly hard fought through the second period. The first A few seconds later Capt. Mc. Nichel, whose foul goal shooting prac. tically decided the issue, tied mat- ters with a successful effort from the penalty line. Johnson again gave Columbia the advantage shortly after on a foul goal, but this was wiped out when McNichol made good on a double foul. Once more Johnson came to the rescue for the local cohorts, bagging one from the foul mark. A pair of floor goals by Reilly and Tynan gave ‘.o‘l‘\’xm" "=;t hlptpz‘;red a IIvlnnlnl : o ut Grave, t center, sandwiched 2 from round a two goals from ul “basket b: McNichol, and once again Penn vaz in _front, 17 to 16. Here Johnson bobbed up with a foul that deadlocked matters at 17-all. Two minutes were left and Penn call- ed time. Upon resumption of play Huntsinger. who had taken Miller's place at right forward for Pemn a few minutes previous. shot a floor goal that spelled defeat for the Blue and White with less than sixty sec- onds to play. Just as the whistle blew Johnson netted a foul. Columbia played an exceptionally brilliant guarding game and made one more floor goal than did Penn, the count being 6 to 5. However, Danny McNichol was in there shooting fouls for Penn. and in the eleven chances afforded him he came through with nine points. while Johnson, acting in a like capacity for Columbia, only made six in twelv C.

If he can do as a coach what he accomplished as a player he will indeed be a great asset. The meeting of the foot ball rules committee 1s scheduled for March 11, and by that time there will have been a pretty thorough threshing out of the innumerable suggestions which have come up since the close of the last season, and the commit- tee will be in a position to act. There scems to be one great advantage sbout airing the discussions of foot ball changes in that many of them, although appearing reasonable on the face, when they get before the pub- lic in print go through an analyzing process that in many cases proves them impracticable. Others gain adherents, and some of the very best of the changes that have been made in the past are those that had hardly been thought of a year before their adoption, Recent events show that it is not going to be clear sledding to clean up base ball and restore it to pub- lic_confidence.

Spalding said: “Another class to be dealt with was the gambling element, and this opposition (to properly organized control) was not to be lightly con- sidered.
