Lynchburg presented a huskier and taller bunch of tossers than John O’'Reilly showed, but the visitors did not play as smoothly the locals. Georgetown led at half time, 13 to 5, and added two floor goals at the outset of the final half to make the margin apparently safe, but here the invaders took a spurt and shot six baskets in quick succession to make the game anybod However, Georgetown with Nork leading the way, the Hill- toppers displayed enough® punch to gain the upper hand. Catholic University wasn't beaten near so badly at Annapolis as the score would indicate. In fact, if the Brooklanders had been able to shoot with anywhere like their usual ac- curacy they would have been very much in the fight and might have won. As some one said at the game, “The C. U. players couldn’t throw the %all into a hogshead today.” That Just about hit the nail on the head. On floor work there w: littie, if anything to choose between the teams, but when it came to markman- ship, the Middies had it all over the Brooklanders." It is safe to say that the Navy players made good on 70 per cent of their shots, whiie it is @ certainty that the Brooklanders did not net the ball a third of the time on open chances at the basket. It ‘was about as poor an exhibition of shooting as any C. U. team ever has put on view. Navy used 15 players while C. U. , depended on the five men it started, Coach Fred Rice being perfectly well satisfied with the way the boys were playing the game and there was no way in the world in which he could help them put the ball through the g nelt\ung. . Navy has an array of tall ana husky talent, but it was Dennett, who appears small in compa'rison to most of his teammates, who set the pace for the midshipmen, both in floor work and in point getting. Navy got 17 goals from floor to 8 for C. U., and basketed the ball 6 out of 8 ‘times from the foul line, while the best the Brooklanders could do was to make good in 4 of 13 tries. In fact, the marksmanship from the 15-foot line was indicative of the rela- tive way in which the teams were shooting yesterday. It was a fast and interesting game, and, as said, the one-sided s not by any means give C. for the game it put up. Catholic U. will have to show bet- ter marksmansip _tomorrow night against American U. if it is to fore- stall the clever Methodist aggregation. American U., too, will have had the benefit of three days rest since de- feating George Washington, while it usually takes more than the day that the Brooklanders wifl have to recu- perate from the effects of the hard floor on which contests are staged at Annapolis. It has been the experi- ence of local players that their legs are “dead” for two or three days after performing on the Middie court. American U.’s chances certainly we not hurt by the battle at Annapolis. On the other hand, it is not likely that C. U. will have another year in which it will shoot so poor Maryland is bampered in its tice for the Navy game Saturday the indisposition of Faber, who I a bad cold, and the fact that Adams A 18 suffering from blisters on bis feet.
