SP —_—— . Entertain Lynchburg Colle, Navy Tonight Also Wi v BY H. C. BYRD. Georgetown opens its basket ball Season tomorrow night with Lynch burg College as its opponent. The contest is to be played in the Ryan Gymnasium and begin, at 8:30 o'clock A second game also is scheduled this week, Mount St. Mary's being booked to appear on the Hilltop floor Satur day night. Practice for the Georgetown squad has been going on since just after Thanksgiving, ~the players having been coming along gradually and now are in excellent shape. Coach John O'Reilly” has not been very optimis- tic over his team’s chances, but with the gradual improvement shown is beginning to think his team may not do =o badly after all. In fact, O'Reilly fast is reaching the point of believing that his quint may make an excellent shogwing during its entire schedule. Only two members of last year's team will be in the line-up tomorrow night. They are Nork, star forward, and Donovan, guard. Glenn is to be at the other forward, Gilio at guard and Mountain center. The last men- tioned was a member of the freshman five a year ago. The Hilltoppers pught not to have any difficulty getting away with their game with Lynchburg.” How ever, the one with Mt. St. Mary's is @ different proposition and that may develop into a real contest. _Catholic University’s game with Navy tomorrow is likely to be one of the best plaved hasket ball affairs of the vear in this section. The anklnndam have a real team, one hat is just about as good as any other college outfit. One weakness they are likely to experience against the Navy is lack of strong reserve material. The reserve strength shown by them in their games so far has not been anywhere near the standard of the first-string plavers, while, on the contrary, Navy has two teams between which there is a little difference. Catholic University will start in the game with Foley and Harvey guards, Long and Keale forwards, and Carney, center. These men are flikely to stick in the game unless disqualified through personal fouls or they hecome exhausted. Every sub- stitution Catholic University makes will weaken its arra; On the contrary Navy will start the game with a heavy, strong team, caculated to wear down the opposing five, and then every substitution it makes will speed up and make het- ter its quint, especially on offense. Hull and Miller are due to begin at forwards for Navy, Lloyd, center; Shanley and Matley, guards. The five that will take this team's place after Coach Johnny Wilson figures the opposition is geting tired, will ORTS.’ ge—Catholic U.’s Game at Is Attracting—American U.-G. W.

BY CORINNE FRAZIER ASTERN High School athletes preliminary basket ball series which will be succeeded by the interclass tournament. The Freshmen have four teams in their loop, the Sophomores five and the Junior-Senior tossers four. The Sophomore series has progress- ed farther than either of the other two. The Sophs have named their teams Giants, Nationals, Olympics, Mercury and_Vikings, and according to Miss E. Fosdick, their coach, the Giants are in the lead, with three vic torfes out of as many starts. They defeated the Olympics, 7-5. in the opener; outclassed the Nationals, 15 | to 6, in their second encounter, and nosed out the Vikings, 87 Two games have been played in the Junior-Senior series. Team B, cap- tained by Marion Gardiner, defeated Team A, led by Zemma Hawkins, in the initial conteset, while Alice Law led Team D to victory over. Team C, | captained by Jeanne Stevens, In the | second game. In the Freshman series a victory has been reported for Team B, which scored over the A tossers, 14 to 7. Teams C and D played to a tie in their first meeting. Mrs. Virginia Woodin is in charge of the Freshman bas- keters, and Miss Imogene Stockett of the Junior-Senior aggregation. First and second class teams will be picked from these preliminary groups after each of the present series has been completed, whicl should be the latter part of Februar Play in the championship loop will begin about March 1, according to the coaches. Full line-ups have heen reported for the Sophomore and the Junior- Senior teams. They are as follows: Junior-Senfors: Team A—Zemma Hawkins, captain and forward; Helen WOMEN IN SPORT | center; Holly, are in the midst of the three | Roloff, guard |in Seitz, forward; Catherine McCaffery center; Roberta Willard, side center Ervilla Rolff and Eugenia Thompson, be made up of Dennett and Schuber, forwards; Smith, center; Hamilton and Graf, guards. Most of these Navy players are foot ball men. Llovd and Smith were the six-foot-two pair of ends on the Navy eleven last Fall. Schuber and Hamilton both distinguished them- selves in the backfield of the Army game in Chicago last Fall, and sev- eral of the others are of lesser quali- fications on the gridiron. Catholic University, though, has a fine basket ball team and should put up a great game. Odds favor the Navy beeause of floor conditions and =su- periority in reserve strength, but, even so, the game ought to be bril- liantly played, especially during the first half. Tonight the basket ball team of American University, victor in every game it has so far played, meets George Washington in the latter's gymnasium. On a basis of past scores, the Methodist school ought to be vic- tor again, but the old saying that the “pitcher can go to the well too often” may be applicable in this case. George ‘Washington is far from easy to beat in {ts own gym, but the American University gym is very similar to it, and the strange floor may not bother it =0 much. George Washington expects a big crowd at the game tonight. Its seat- ing arrangements have been enlarged so that more than 1,000 spectators can be accommodated, and fully that large a crowd should be on hand. George Washington has changed its line-up, shifting Sapp from guard to forward. Bland is to hold down the other forward position, with Haun at center and Carey and Wallace, guards. | American University will have the same men on the floor that have played s> well in previous games, Sawyer and Schloss, forwards: Banta | and Kessler, guards, and Birthright, center. If American University beats George Washington tonight, in all probability the largest crowd to watch a hasket ball game here this season will jour- ney to Brookland Friday night to see the Methodists meet Catholic Univer. sity. 1f George Washington is victor, the result undoubtedly will kill 90 per cent of the interest, and thereby add greatly to the interest in the games guards; Betty Bayliss and Margaret Jordan, reserves. . Team B—Marion Gardner, captain and forward; Ethel Smith, forward; Beryle Edmiston, center: Teresa Breen, side center; Mary Kelso and Thelma Courtney, guards; Laura Willlams and Margaret McGarvey, re- serves. Team C—Virginia Daiker and Marion Mcllvaine, forwards; Mildred McLaughlin, center; Rhoda Hatton, side center; Ruth Greenwood, guar Jeanne Stevens, captain and guar Margaret Payne and Grace Walther, reserves. Team D—Ella Rexnec and Madeline Reed, forwards: Alice Law, captain and center; Lucille Bixler, side cen- ter; Helen Manning and Helen Hughes, guards: Bill Newman and Carol Meads, reserves Sophomore teams: Olympics— Misses Thomas and Elliott, forwards; Thorn, captain and center; Hughes, side center; Snyder and Alexander, guards; Birkhead, reserve side cen- ter.

Defensively the Maroon outfit is much on the job it proved in its game with Willlams last month Walsh proved himself a good guard, and though his man occa- slonally got clear a few yards and started a dribble, Walsh usually saved the day with his fast foot work. Walsh under such conditions, uses the best of strategy, as he puts on full speed, rushes up the middle ‘of the court and drives at his man so he is hound to force him toward thé sideline. Then the offensive player is less dangerous, and, if the guard is aggressive, he can always spoil an attempted shot and at the worst force the opponent to pass backward The three sketches show Walsh's driving his man to the sideiine and the diagram to the left (Walsh the black dots) illustrates just how he does it. el by STANDING : Clevelan R é Baltimore ... ..

WALLINGFORD, Conn., Janua 11.—Employment of the pen to re what the pen helped to kill—the ath- letic relations between Princeton and Harvard—is a suggestion which has come out of a conference of repre- sentatives of the Yale Daily News, the Harvard Crimson, the Frince- tonian and the Dartmouth, undergrad- uate newspapers. “A raporochement hetween Prince- ton and Harvard. with a velw toward ultimate restoration of athletic rela-, tions. is not beyond the realm of pos- sibility,” said Dana Bartholomew, chairman_of the incoming board of | the Yale Daily News, after discussion at the Choate School vesterday. “It was the consensus that natural rather than artificial means wbuld be resorted to in order to heal the breach. “For example, the Crimson should run articles and _photographs of Princeton, and the Princetonian could return the compliment. In this way men of both institutions would gain better ideas about each other. “Such methods would help dispel | the idea in some Harvard minds that | Princeton is a country club, and would show Princetonians that Harvard is | not merely a Boston society group.” | The break between Princeton and Harvard followed closely upon the | publication of a special Princeton | number of the Lampoon, Harvard un. | dergraduate comic magazine, distrib uted to the crowds at the Princeton- Harvard game DAY | ing.
