Y., January 3&‘:-— Chicago, with 155 teams, tops the list of entries outside of Buffalo for the international fournament, of the erican Bowling Congréss to be held in this city March 5 to April 6. Total entries from outside of Buffalo are 950 teams, b . task for the team of Blue Ridge College to accomplish this Winter. In December, the New Windsor men were nosed out in a terrific tussel by Catholic University, early last month Gallaudet just managed to take their measure and last night in the Hatchetite gymnasium George Washington’s quint scored over the Marylanders, although it had to play through two extra five-minute periods to get its 29-to-28 decision. While it failed to play basket ball of a etartling character, the Maroon and White team that had traveled by automobile for more than five hours over icy Maryland roads to arrive in Washington just a few minutes be- fore hostilities were scheduled to be- gin,.put up a gallant exhibition, and after a rather sluggish first half, fre- quently had the Hatchetites in hot water. George Washington was none too fast and never seemed to exert itself in the opening half, when it might have played into a commanding lead. At that, it came out of the session with a 12 to 7 advantage, but in the second half it was clearly outplayed by the visiting outfit. After increasing its advantage to one of 20 to 13, George Washington lost its poise, and with less than five seconds of the regular playing time to go was on the weak end of & 23 to 22 count. But Brown, Hatchetite guard, sunk a shot from the foul line to force further play. Dowd's basket after Sawyer had missed with a free toss put George Washington ahead at the outset of the overtime play, but Capt. Dunbar of Blue Ridge scored from scrimmage a moment later, and when Bowen's free toss, which if pocketed would have won for the Hatchetites, went wild, another extra period was or- dered. ~ In this second overtime round, Bowen. and Sawyer sunk. free shots before Blue. Ridge had a chance to score, but Gerlock evened the game with a snappy goal from the side court. Then a double foul, involving Dunbar and Dowd, was called, and Dunbar holed a free foss to bring Blue Ridge withth a point of another tie with less than a minute to play. It was_thée' fourth personal foul againgt Dowd, but after he missed his shot, the game's timer, although informed the Hatchetite was ineligi- ble to continue play, evidently was too excited to motify the referee, and the George Washington captain re- mained in the game to the finish, Although several players ofy each team performed well, Capt.
