SPORTS. A~ 'SCORING ABILITY LACKING IN KENDALL GREEN QUINT Coach Hughes Striving to Improve Aim of Usually Dependable Shots—Co-Ed Sextet Plays Satur- day—C. U. Victor—G. W. Beaten. BY JOHN B. KELLER. UCH work remains to be done by Gallaudet's basket ball squad M before it is ready for Saturday night's engagement with the Fort Humphrey's quint at Kendall Green, and Coach Ted Hughes is not permitting his charges to loaf. While the Kendall Greeners revealed some good basket ball at times in their initial contest with the Old Dominion Boat Club, their tutor was far from satisfied with their show- ing and does not want a repetition of some of the slovenly performances of which his men were guilty in that fray. Apparently there is considerable room for improvement in Gallaudet’s play. . Its weakest point has been shooting from scrimmage. Usually dependablé¢ shots have been throwing wildly, but if practice this week means anything, the fault will mot crop out in the next tilt. Passing has not been any too good, although in this department of play the Kendall Greeners are well ahead of their scoring ability.

Al told, Lynch egistered ix goals from scrimmage and three from the free- toss line Most of his fleld shots lowea dribbles to gonl. Of the vi ftors, Harrison, a forward, appeared best, but he was eliminated by per- fondl fouls in the latter part of the ay.
