"SPORTS. PLAYS LAST GAM AWAY FROM HOME Contest Will Wind Up Great Campaign for Six Local College Squads. BY H. C. BYRD. Gallaudet plays the last game of the pasket ball season tomorrow night, when it meets Shepherd College at Shep- herdstown, W. Va. Catholic University and George Wash- Sngton wound up their schedule last night, Georgetown. American Univer- | sity and Maryiand finished last week. and it only remains for the Kendall Oreen five to put on the last touches to wind up perhaps the greatest court | season in the history of local colleges. Gallaudet defeated Shepherd College In a recent game here, and it expects to take the leng end of the score to- morrow night. And it might be men- | tioned that the Kendall Green five | needs the victory in order to break even in victories and defeats. So far 1t has won 6 and lost 7. Basket ball in the local colleges really attained a high mark this sea- son. Three universities, Georgetown, Catholic and Maryland. have had re-| markably strong quints, and Gorge | Washington also possesses an excellent record. Georgetown won 12 out of 13 es, Catholic University and Mary- Bod cach won 14 and lost 4, George | Washington captured 10 victories out of | 16 starts. while Gallaudet probably will| finish with an even break. American | University wound up its season with a | losing record, dropping 8 and winning | 8 contests. ‘The three strongest teams won 50 out | of 59 games they plaved against the | formidable quints of the South and North, while all the teams, including Gallaudet, George Washington and| American U. took part in a total of 92 | contests, and won 62. This constitutes a | remarkable record and could not be du- | g}luted by any other city. In short. | ‘ashington teams won approximately two-thirds of the games they played nst schools from other sections, and fashington possessed three of the strongest quints in the East. Catholic University last night con- tinued the brilliant form it displaved against Mount St. Mary’s Monday night by completely swamping George Wash- ington, the final count being 52 to 19. During the first half of the contest the Buff and Blue put up a great game against Fred Rice’s combination, but eould not hold the gait. The score at the end of the half was 13 to 11, but the Brooklanders broke loose with an offense in the second part of the game that the losers simply could not stem. Foley and Harvey again went on a scoring spree for Catholic University, the former getting seven goals from the floor and one from the foul line and the latter six from the floor and three from the foul mark, giving each 15 points. Johnny Long made three from the floor and seven from ouls, and rang up a total of 13 points. Allshouse was leading scorer for George Washington, with 9 points.

About the only poor basket ball Catholic University has played this season was when Harvey was out of the line-up and one is thereby led to believe that he comes mighty close 10 being the key of the team’s success. Harvey is not a flashy performer, but one of thosc steady players who always does so well that nobody ever gives them credit for neing 25 'good as they are. And, incidentally, nobody, not even the coach, ever realizes how valuable such a player is unti] he once gets out of the line-up. Many times in foot ball, base ball and basket ball only one or two men will be lost from a great team, such as | ‘was the case with Brown's undefeated eleven of 1926. Everybody expects the team the following year, with appar- ently the same men back, to be just | 88 good or better, but for some un- | explainable reason the team slumps, as | Brown did last Pall, and nobody ex- plains it. | The whole thing is explained, though, | in the fagh that in the one or two men who left was lost the key o successful performance. It is like leaving an auto- | mobile engine in an automobile after taking out the electricity. Everything is :{.‘m except the stuff that will make | uch & part has Bill Harvey played in | Catholic University’s basket ball team. | University of Maryland plans to get| ts foot ball squad out today for Spring | practice.

CHICAGO, March 1.-—Northwestern University has two athletic grudges against the University of Illinois, and it will attempt to settle one of them tonight on the basket ball floor at Pat- ten Gymnasium, Evanston. When Northwestern's foot ball team seemed destined for a Big Ten title last season, the Illini invaded Evanston and upset the Purple. From that date Northwestern failed to flash its crush- ing offensive and lost several games. During the present basket ball season Northwestern had a grasp on the con- ference basket ball title, when Iilinois again engineered a setback. Tonight's game is the only one on the conference schedule. If North- western wins, it will still have a mathe- matical chance to tie for top honors in the Big Ten title chase, providing Pur- due, Indians and Wisconsin drop an- other game. es are on Saturday night three the Big Ten Mhedule-mm at I- at Wisconsin. .

The 20,000 fans who packed Madison Square Garden also saw the sensational rise of Barney Berlinger, 19-year-old Freshman at the University of Penn- sylvania, into the top rank of America's | all-around athletes.

C. team- | mate. Makes His Own Pace. Hahn's failure to realize his ambition to break the indoor record for the mile of 4:12, held jointly by Paavo Nurmi and Jole Ray, was due chiefly to the fact that he was forced to make his own pace the whole way. Taking the lead with the gun, he pounded away steadily at a pace his rivals did not care to better. For six laps the three | runners hung closely together, with| Conger second and Peltzer third. At this stage Hahn began to draw away | At the close of the ninth lap, Hahn| flashed & spurt that carried him to the | tape 25 yards in front of Conger, while the Teuton champion, exhausted, jogged into the finish line.

Untversity of Kansas and Auth By the Associated Press. 5 N the 1909 sport classic of the Mid- dle West—the Missouri-Kansas foot ball game—a 6-vear-old tow- headed lad saw his red-headed Kansas gridiron hero injured by a bad tackle. Bill Roper of Princeton was coaching the University of Missouri that year and Tommy Johnson, long recognized Kansas' greatest all-time all-around athlete, was the injured player. Tommy was & wizard in the cleated shoes, on the basket ball court, in base ball, track and tennis; and was the school’s great- est player both at checkers and at chess. He was a finely co-ordinated mental and physical machine. Two years after this injury, to the | very day, Tommy died. ‘Tustan Ackerman was the 6-year- old tow-head. His childish mind dwelt incessantly upon Tommy's death. Er- roneously, he felt that the injury was caused intentionally. Later, facts r vealed that a constitutional weakne was always present and that only tb discipline of athletic training had glven Tommy vitality to carry on. But this young hero worshipper vowed he would some day avenge the | death of Tommy Johnson. For 13 ycars he dreamed, played, trained, lived the fine clean life of Tommy Johnson. Dally he literally steeped himself in the valorous deeds of his unfortuiite knight. “Thirteen {enrs n‘ preparation—with the thirteenth year lucky.

Larry Schneider, who was just about the best pitcher in the public high title serfes in 1927, has been lost, as has Bohby Stevens, crack little shortstop and generally conceded the best player in scholastic circles heareabout a sea- son ago; Wolcott, clever second sacker, and Shorty Hilleary and Pred Owens, exceedingly capable outfielders. Bob Wiison, outstanding three-letter athlete at Western will again be on the job as catcher, and right now Bates, who saw considerable service last Spring, and Fletcher, formerly of St. Alban's School, loom as the best box material. Quincy Owens, first baseman, and Bill Luney, third sacker, are 1927 infielders again at hand., Turner is the lone gar- dener of experience available. An interesting Iintramural basket ball tournament is now in progress at West- ern under Ahern’s direction. Many teams are competing. Play is expected to be completed Friday.

Willle Watt, who handled the public high base ball championship series games last Spring in efficient style, has again been picked for the job the com- ing Spring. Central is planning a base ball sched- ule of more than 20 games. A tiit with the Princeton Freshmen at Princeton April 18 is a bright feature. Gumes ar- ranged thus far: April 3, St. Alban’s at St. Alban's; 10, Emerson: 13, St. John's . Princeton Freshmen, away: Catholic Univer- sity Freshmen; 27, Eastern.
