W_ BEATS GALLAUDET Competition in an active week of collegiate basket ball was brought to a close last night when Catholic Univesity scored a stirrng 25-to-23 victory over Bucknell at Brookland, and George Waslfington nosed out Gallaudet, 34 to 30, in a slow con- test at Kendall Green. No more_exciting game has been staged in_Washington than the one at Brookland. Both teams played good basket ball throughout and at no time did either have mo a_three-point lead, the locals bei ahead, 14 to 11 at half time. The score was tied three times in the last portion, a basket by Fasce, with ten seconds to go, deciding the issue. Despite the strenuousness of the play the game was exceptionally clean. Better foul shooting gave George Washington the edge on Gallaudet. Gosnell_and Altrup, between them, caged the ball in twelve of the fifteen attempts from the 15-foot mark, while Bradley, who preformed in this line for the Kendall Greeners, made good only eight times in fourteen chances. While (he game was not well played, it had the redeeming feature of being close all the way, the downtowners leading, 21 to 17, at the conclusion of the first half. D. C.

EW YORK, February 18—Boxing fans were clamoring today to know just how good Jack Britton and Benny Leonard really are, and there seemed a general concensus of opinisn that the best way to find out would be to match them together for the welterweight title.
