The game ought to be one of the dest played of the yvear. George Washington, while it may be defeated, should be in there battling for all it 1s worth, because it an opportuni- ty to earn a place in the sun. A vie- tory for the Buff and Blue would be & great achievement and would estab- lish it as a far better basket ball team than it has generally been given credit for being. One thing about this Catholic Uni- wversity team th ar is that it is not only a fine basket ball team, but is made up of about as fine a group of men as one could find on any univer- sity quint anywhere. And not only that, but, as might be expected from the type of men who make up the squad, C. U. has one of the cleanest teams in the country. Fred Rice's style of play is conducive to clean basket ball, but with fellows like Har- vey, Foley, Carney, Long and Keale, nothing but clean basket ball would be expected anyway. C. U.'s basket ball team 1s a credit to its coach and to the university. University of Maryland’s basket ball team is the only other local five in ac- tion tonight, and it goes to Philadel- phia to meet University of Pennsyl- vania for the first time in this sport. Maryland realizes it will be up against a tough proposition in the Quakers, because the latter have won just 10 straight games on their home floor. Penn now is tied for the lead in the Intercollegiate League.

American University had little dif- ficulty taking the long end of the score in ils game with Gallaudet. The Methodists got going right off the reel and soon ran up a margin which indicated that the size of the score was about the only question. The count at the end of the first half was 15 to 9. Banta and Kessler led the Methodists in_scoring, the former hanging up 18 points as his total, probably the highest made by any col- lege player here this year. Banta's scores were the result of nine goals from the floor. Dyer and Bilger led Gallaudet in toasting, the former with 4 points and the lattgr with 10, In the all-college track and field team recently selected by Fred Rubien, editor of the annual track and field annual, appear the names of Bill Dowding and Tony Plansky of George- town. Dowding gets his place by vir- tue of his excellent record as a broad jumper, while Plansky is picked for the all-round championships, which he has won at Pennsylvania for the last two years. Another man now at Georgetown who has his name in one of “all” teams is Wildermuth, a member of the freshman track squad. He was picked as the best scholastic sprinter of the year on account of the record he made in a New York high school. University of na he tables on - | ryland ment game were Hardman’s Idea Effective Play BASKET BALL. E=H TR T — BY SOL METZGER. Bill Hardman, Union's coach, who has practically grown up with the game, developed a corking good scoring play a few years back when his team ranked as one of the leaders in BEastern colleglate circles. This play is just as effec- tive today and opponents of Union are finding it outevery week. When one of Union’s men would get a pass and be in position to shoot he was instructed by Hardman to pull a perfect fake in the way of shoot- ing, but, in the same motion to start a dribble around his opponent. The play will work in this position better than anywhere else on the court for the simple reason that the opponent guard will beé mor inclined to jump in order to inter- cept what he thinks is going to be a fairly easy shot at the basket.

NEW YORK, February 9.—A pro- test against the appearance of Edvin Wide, Swedish middle-distance star, in a speclal event at the national indoor champlonships of the Amateur Union in Madison Square Garden, February 28, has been lodged with the A. A. U. by Albert Geiger of Boston, on the eve of Wide's American debut at the Newark A. C. games, in Newark, 2 tonight. The_ Swedish schoolmaster, conqueror of Paavo Nurmi, is sched- uled to race from scratch in a 2,500- yard handicap test against a mediocre field. Geiger, chairman of the membership committee of the New England A. A. U., opposed Wide's running at the national champlonships “unless he is willing to enter the same as other athletes in the competitions. The idea of exhibition races should be, in my opinion, eliminated.” Secretary Frederick W. Rubien, in answering the communication, said that no protest had been received from the N, E. A. A. U. as a body. “I can only attribute the protest of Geiger to a mistunderstanding of the nature of the competition in which it planned to have Wide participate,” Rublen said. “There never was any intention of having Wide engage in an exhibition. He consented to race four rivals at a dis- tance suitable to his convenience. “We decided to have him appear in a non-championship event because it is unreasonable to expect him to run for a title when he might not be in shape for races against the caliber of opponents he would meet. He could not be expected to agree to run now against men like Lloyd Hahn of the B. A. A. at a mile, or Willie Ritola and Leo Lermond at two miles.” HOWARD FIVE WINNER OVER LINCOLN, 27-16 With Spears and Berry doing most of their scoring Howard University basketers last night triumphed over their keenest rivals, Lincoln Univer- sity, 27 to 16, on the local floor. The Bisons early took a commanding lead that was never menaced.
