Y30 . ONLY ONE REGULAR LOST FROM LAST YEAR’S NINE Coach Moran, However, May Make Some Shifts in His Line-Up—Brooklanders and Maryland + Uash on Court Tomorrow Night. BY JO HIS appears to be Catholic U combinatiens. The team that T nine, with the exception of one pla: season in 1923, The only basc ball team loss the Brooklanders sustained through graduation last summer was Roddy, an outfielder, and there are several promising recruits from the 1923 freshman nine ready to fight for that position. In fact, Catholic Universi ball this year, for it is not likely tha there were several good tossers developed among the freshmen. ‘Coach Charles Moran may have to make some shifts In his team this vear, however. In all likelihood the 1923 infield, which included Lawler at alrst base, Mulville at second, Denault at shortstop and Ignace at third, will Dbe changed. De Nault developed arm trouble toward the fag end of the Iaet season and probably will be sent to the outfleld. If this happens, Gar- vin, who was quite capable at short and third base for the freshmen, is almost certain to zet Into the varsity inner works. Breslin and Cummings, veteran out- flelders, gave promise last year of ng first-clas college players and are Ferarded ab fetures th thel | positions. Foley of the freshman nine, De Nault, should he be transferred from the infield, and several other less prominent players will be available for the remaining place in the gar- dens. For the battery task Catholic Uni- ‘versity has Neary, catcher, and May and Clark, pitchers, all known quan- tities, and McMahon, a receiver, and Bartley and Meehan, hurlers, gradu- ates from the freshman squad. Of the slabmen, Meehan is the only one that does his fliinging from the port side. Should these now pitchers make good, and their work of last year indicated . they should be valuable, the Red and Black will have a mound corps likely to baffle many college opponents. Coach Moran phuhs to call his bat- tery men to practice February 15, and 38 soon thercafter as the weather moderates the entire Catholic Uni- versity squad wil be on the field.” The Brokland nine is to play through a heavy schedule in the spring, its com- metitive season extending from March 31 to June 1. All of the big college Qompbinations of the east will be en- countered. Thase two basket ball games in- volving teams of Cutholic Universiey and the University ‘of Maryland, to be played at Brookland ‘tomorow night, promise to be spirited engage- ments. The tilt between the freshman quints of the institutions, due to start at 7:16 o'clock, 18 expected to “pep” the ‘spectators for the more impor- tant varsity battle to follow. ISverything points to an even break in victories, but with the main share of the honors of the eyening golug to Catholic University's Dig team. The Red and Black varsity probably will Drove too experienced a team for the Marylanders, who returned to basket ball just this winter, after forsaking the sport in the early part of 1919. The Brooklaud team of Breslin and Ebers; , forwards: . Fitzgerald. center, and Lynch and Lawyer, guards, upset everything hereabout last winter, and lLas been traveling at a dizzy pace this season. Maryland likely will start play with Faber and Ensor, forwards pplee, center, and Groves and Beat. B. KELLER. morrow night in the big basket ball game with University of Maryland is composed entirely of holdovers from last winter, and in the pring the Red and Black will be able to place on the diamond the same SPORTS. i niversity’s year for veteran athletic will represent the Brooklanders to- yer, that enjoyed a fairly successful ty should be much stronger in"basz t the veterans have “gone back,” and ty, guards. While several of these players are brilllant courtmen, they have not yet acquired proficlency In team play. The machinlike precision that has characterized most of Cath- olic Unifersity’s play this winter should tell agafnst the new Maryland { aggregation. Catholic University, at any rate, is sure to get a battie, and may be given a rude jolt. Maryland Is banking heavily on its freshmen team to overcome the Brook- land cubs. The Coliege Park young- ster have shown cousistent form, while Catholic University's freshmen have found going none too smooth thus far. Three former Washington high school boys arc to appear in the Maryland line-up. They ‘are Capt. Cardwell from Eastern, guard; Frisby from Western, center, and Boyd from Tech, forward, Compton, at forward, and Crosthwait, at guard, complete the quint. No collewe game other than that at Brookland is scheduled here tomor- row night, but both Gallaudet and Georgetowh have out-of-town en- | gagements. Gallaudet's tossers will |80 to Baltimore for a set-to with | Loyola Coilege, while the Hilltoppers jare to dourney to Annapolls for a { contest with Navy. Practice at Kendall Green this afternoon was expected to be left to the reserves, as the varsity squad al- ready Is in good condition. That set. back at Maryland Wednesday night did not discourage Gallaudet, for the team is primed to start another win- ning streak, its first being shattered after three victories were registered. Georgetown is not so well prepared to encounter its old rival tomorrow, but at that the Hilltoppers may give the Midshipmen an {tneresting after- noon. The squad has been doing 2 deal of Intensive drilling this week in Ryan Gymnaslum and all of the players are fit for the fray. Georgetown's strength in track athletics will be thoroughly tested tomorrow night when Blue and Gray runners will compete in the Knights of Columbus games in Boston and the Brooklyn Coliege meet in Brooklyn. Hilltop representation in both carni- vals has been materizlly weakened by splitting the squad. Mile yelay team men have been drafted to fill & two-mile quartet that will race in Boston and one man, Sullivan, who undoubtedly would have been given a place on the long race four, will be at Brooklyn. Georgetown also has organized a second mile team to run in Brooklyn and while Its ‘members are runners well above the average it does not compare with the regular four at the Hilltop. Bullding these relays has necessitated the with- drawal of runners from other events. If Georgetown wins in but one of the ithree team races tomorrow night, it deserves gr credit. | NEW Y BASKET LEAGUE STARTS NEXT THURSDAY LAY in the newly organized Y. M. C. A.

Increased interest in basket ball indoor track and fleld meets, swim- ming, wrestling, hand ball and other inside. athletics has doomed the old form of gymnasium and made the spacious fleld house essential.

By the Associated Press. EW YORK, January 25—American participation iu the 1924 Olympiad will start tomorrow, when America’s contingent of speed skaters swing into action in the opening events of winter sports program at Chamonix. The controversy between William Taylor, manager of the America: Olympic team, and Allen H. Muhr of the French Olympic committec, which threatened to prevent the participation of the Americans, was settled today. . Clarence Carman, who had requested recognition as _an addits trainer, withdrew his request, asserting that he was unwilling to be ti =ause of the disputc. Taylor had insisted that Carman, who is an American professional bi- cycle rider, be permitted to help train the Americans during the Bames. The French Olympic commit- tee refused on the ground that it could not favor the American athletes by permitting the addition of a trainer to their staff. The skaters upheld Taylor's position, asserting that they would not compete in the opening events on Saturday if he was not upheld. The 500-meter events are scheduled for tomorrow, and the 1,500 and the 10,000 meter races for Sunday. Joo Moore of New York, Charles Jewtraw of Lake Placid, N. Y., and Harry Kasky and Willlam Steinmetz of Chicago are entered in the 500 meters, the opening event. The 5.000- meter event, with Valentine Bialis of Saranac Lake, Richard Donovan of Johnson City, N. Y., augmented by Jewtraw and Steinmetz, is carded to follow. On Sunday, the 1,500-meter race, with Moore, JeWtraw, Kasky and Steinmetz as entries, will be followed by the 10,000-meter event, with Bialis, Donovan, Moore and Kasky. Tomorrow brings the first meeting of the international speed skating specialists, and little or no Informa- tion on America’s rivals is available. Unfamiliar racing conditions confront the American skaters, who are ac- customed to assuming the same formation for ice skating as that em- ployed in track athletics. But at Chamonix only two skaters start in euch heat, and the race is against | time. There is no personal b between the skaters and no eet of a pace. Another condition which {s differ- ent, but not expected to be any handi- cap to the Americans, is that t track at Chamonix is a 400-meter oval, or about twice the size of ui ordinary American track.

Stars might have been picked from several citles where hockey is ex- pertly played by various teams, but the American olympic committee wisely, as it may appear, decided to select @ unit; that is to sav, that had played together as a splen- did mechanism.
