Georgetown Develops Eleven Even Stronger Than Supporters Expected and Holds Lead in Track—C. U. TANDING on the threshold of another calendar vear in &th- Jetics, colleges and universities here have much to look back upon in their accomplishments of the last 12 months to serve as i spiration to even greater things. N inatitution that makes its home here has anything over which many regrete, and all may look with pride on at least a good deal of their records. And even those schools that had” teams in some sports that failed to reach heights in remarkable vic- torles still may find a xood deal of satisfaction in having dene their best. Many of the colleges maintain other aports, but as far as the general pub- | lic is concerned only four of them at- tain places of real worth—foot ball.| base ball, track and basket ball. Thesa| are the sports that get the headlines throughout the newspaper world, and usually headline§ of that kind gen- erally are given because they are sto- ries of things in which the public takes Rreatest interest. | | Foot Ball Biggest Sport. And of these four sports which prac- | tically all colleges maintain as their| major lines of athletic endeavor, foot bali in the public mind reigns supreme. A college may have great teams in other sports, but if it fails to turn out 4 good foot ball aggregation it does not get the credit it really desefve: And so it is foot ball that will be first mentioned in this all too brief review of activities in local colleges during the last year. Teams generally were stronger than in some years. Erratic foot ball was played at times by all, but as a whole the elevens reached hitherto unat- tained heights. Georgetown had one bad spot in its season, nothwithstand- ing it had the strongest eleven of the group. It expected to defeat Syra- cuse, but failed in its invasion of the New York city, failed to win in a game in which it gained double the ground its opponent gained. But barring that contest with Syracuse, the Blue and Gray was good all year. It defeated West Virginia and Lafayvette decisive- ly, it won from Fordham and Boston | College without difficulty, and actually | was much stronger tha porters ?Epectvd it to be. It would be difficult to pick any one game in which Georgetown stood out above the others. After it learned its lesson at Syracuse, it set an even galt and held it, mowing down all op- position with consistent brilliancy. Considering everything, the season was one of the best Georgetown has ‘Washington, notwithstand- ing it lost to Catholic University ‘Thanksgiving, day, probably deserves greater credit for what it accomplished on the gridiron than any of the other five elevens. The Buff and Blue start-| »d with an exceptionally small squad, with even its own coach feeling biue, | but came through with flying colors, | playing through some of its games | without a substitution. George Wash- | ington had some experienced material. but what it had in quality it lacked | in quantity. A defeat by Penn State by two touchdowns and by Catholic University by one were the only met- backs received, while the main vic- torles were won over Fordfiam and Rutgers. | Catholic University had a strong eleven. It had a hard schedule for ‘which 1t got little credit for the good showing it really made. It played theough a schedule against elevens that it would have got little credit for | beating, but elevens whieh were ex- veptionally strong. St. Xavier, for in- | stance} hardly is known here, yet out | in Cincinnati everybody recognizes it as a tough nut to crack. Yet Catholic Tniversity scored three touchdowns | that eleven, while the Marines could get only two, only to lose by | | vard in the two big games at College Park. | guards, finished third in the Ameri THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €.

It took part in several northern meets, and, while it never made as good time in any race as Georgetown did in some of those it won, it nevertheless was zood enough to number among its victims Harvard, Yale and Penn State. During the outdoor s on George- town had a good dual meet aggre tion and scored well in events in th Penn relays and in_the: Intercol- legiates. Maryland, George Wash- ington, Catholic University and Gal- laudet went through outdoor sched- utes. but none accomplished anything wenderful, Maryland beiug best of the four. Lack of good tracks is one of the big handicaps for local colleges in their outdoor schedules. Ahout the only good quarter-mile track aréund here, except that at Central High | School, is at Maryland. College Base Ball Lags. College hase ball, playing as it does in_competition with big league ball and semi-pro and amateur ball, does not attract the attention here that it does elsewhere. Big teams from the North and South play on local flelds, but poor crowds watch them usually. especially after the Washington club | begin, Georgetown had a good team and went through a fairly successful Catholic Universit were pretty much in the same boat. In fact, all three schools did_very creditable work #€ a rule; but all had slumps. Cathglic University, perhaps, may feel betfer satisfied than any of the others, because Coach Moran took rather mediocre material and de- veloped out of it a team that made a good record, that stood up as a t¥p- jcal winning C. U. nine. George Washington had no team, while Gallaudet was about its usual strength. Maryland was the only college to develop lacrosse, and it went through a year that was successful, barring the fina game—with Hopkins. Mary- land won from Princeton and 1. PRO TOSSERS STILL HOPING| In professional basket ball, Wash- ington, represented by Ray Kennedy, manager; Rusty Saunders and Georga Glasco, forward: Tillie Voss, center, and Teddy Kearns and Elmer Ripley. can Basket Ball League at the end of the 1926.7 season. ' The champion- ship was won by the New York Cel». tics, who, in a three-game series with Cleveland, took every game by a de- ciglve margin. The 1926-7 season of the league was divided into halves, with the winner of the first half playing the winner of the second for the werld title. In the first half Washington closely pressed Cleveland all the way, but wobund up in second plice.: The local aggregation was well on the way to the championship in the second half when it struck a slump while touring the . Western cities, where four successive defeats put it out of the running. This brought an upheaval within the ranks thaig re- sulted in Owner George Marshall trading Voss, Glasco and Kearns to Philadelphia for Chick Passon, for- ward; Stretch Meehan, center, and Harry Riconda, guard. whom he ex- pected would considerably holster the Capital City quint for the 19278 campaign. However, Riconda and Meehan failed to join the team, while Passon four t‘fluchdowm to three.
