28 SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1920, SPORTS. D. C. College Basket Ball Teams Will Figure in a Trio of Conlests Tonight PAIR OF BATTLES ARE LISTED HERE Gallaudet Visits Catholic U. Maryland Entertains Randolph-Macon. HREE games are carded for col- lege basketers of the Capital group tonight, two at home and one aw Catholic University will en- tertain its old foe, Gallaudet, on the C. U. floor and University of Maryland will play host to Randolph-Macon Col- lege of Ashland, Va. at College Park in home games, The game at C. U. will start at 8 o'clock and that at Maryland at 7. American University will appear against Gettysburg College at Gettys- burg in the other encounter. Catholic University is expected to find Gallaudet the worthiest sort of an opponent. The Kendall Greeners, with Capt. Louls Dyer, sharpshoot! for- ward, again in the line-up following his recovery from & foot ball injury, form a stalwart club. The Cardinals, without the exper- fenced players of other recent years, have not shown a great deal so far, but Coach Fred Rice has been working them hard this week and they may do better tonight than is generally ex- pected. In Randolph-Macon it is expected that Maryland will encounter all com- petition, if not more, that it is looking for. The Ashland, Va. quint drubbed Virginia, 36 to 21, last Saturday at Charlottesville, indicating that it is an unusually formidable five for a school of its size. The game is to start at 7 o'clock to make way for another affair to be held in the Maryland auditorium later in the evening. Randolph-Macon was not originally listed by Maryland, but the former asked for the game, which was ar- ranged yesterday. Radice and Evans or Gaylor will be at forwards for Maryland tonight, with Capt. Dean and Heagy at guards. There is doubt as to who will start at center, bu]t] either Allen or Hetzel will get the call. ‘Woodson 1is the star of the Randolph- Macon team. All he did in the Virginia game was to score 23 points, or two more than the total registered by the Cavaliers. Word has been reteived that the Elizabethtown tossers, who come here Friday night to play American Uni- versity, will be unable to meet George ‘Washington Saturday as asked by the latter. As the result the Colonial bas- keters probably will be unable to get formal action until January 16 when they are listed to meet American Uni- versity. Coach Crum'’s big problem still is the finding of a capable center. Georgetown _ basketers had little trouble taking Duke University to camp, 48 to 33, last night in the American University gym. Ld eby Freddy Mesmer and Don Dutton, the Hoyas proved too clever all the way for the Blue Devils from North Carolina. Mesmer registered 17 points and Dutton 11. Other G. U. players also showed strongly, particularly MecCarthy, who played sturdily in all departments. Bill Werber, former Tech High ath- lete, was the ace of the visitors’ attack coming through with 15 points. Cand- ler, a mate, reigstered 10. Councilor, another erstwhile Tech player, also played a time for Duke. Georgetown was in front, 28 to 17, at the half. Duke rallied briskly in the first stages of the second half during which it cut the Hoyas’ lead to 6 points through some effective shooting on the part of Werber and Candler. At this stage, however, the Blue and Gray began to step out and soon it was plain that it was a question only of the mar- gin by which the home quint would win In a preliminary Georgetown Fresh- men triumphed over Emerson Institute, 36 to 32. The Hoya yearlings were furnished their stoutest opposition thus far this season. Reilly, with 18 points, was the win- ners' big scorer, while Alvin Buscher, former Western star, led Emerson on attack with 17. Georgetown (43). Duke G.F. i Gouncilor; a3). ' Shea. 1.

In 1925 and 1926 the Hilltoppers won the cup, but lost to Syracuse in 1927 and to Holy Cross in 1928, Potomac Boat Club basketers downed George Washington tossers, 25 to 14, in a practice game last night in the Colonial's gym. Lilly and Wiler did most of Potomac's scoring, with Alls- house and Barrows proving most con- sistent for G. W. Those visiting the Catholic U. gym will be glad to learn that the road- way leading to that building now is being improved. LERMOND, 2-MILE STAR, RETURNS TO BOSTON A. A.

Then the chances are you'll be double-crossed by No. 2. The lat- ter, after using the other play, the one shown yesterday, will often make a direct dash for the basket, as shown in the diagram, coming in at top speed and leaping high for the throw in from No. 1. ‘When he gets this throw in, No. 2 is in front of the basket. 8o, to score he uses a straight in one-hand shot in order to curl the ball just over the near rim of the basket. That's the way to shoot from straight ahead. From this side you use a bank shot. (Copyright, 1920 PROFESSIONAL HOCKEY. Springfield, 1; New Haven, 0; (over- time TPoriland, 2; Victorla, 0.

BASE BALL SCRIBES ELECT THOMPSON LEADER Denman Thompson, sports editor of The Evening Star, heads the Washing- ton chapter of the Base Ball Writers' Association of America this year. He was elected at the annual meeting of the chapter yesterday to succeed Louis A. Doy ‘Thomj IN SCHOOL ECH High's quint today is out in front in the public high school basket ball championship series with two wins against no de- feats. Business stands second with a victory in its only start. A 25-24 triumph over Western in a stirring battle yesterday in the Tech gym put the McKinley quint ahead in the flag race. Business came through with a 22-16 win over Central to gain the runner-up &osn and virtually elim- inate Central, the defending champlon, from the title scramble. Seldom has a public high basket ball game been so furiously waged as the battle between Tech and Western, which was won by the former in the dying moments when Capt. Jake Goldblatt of Tech came through with a smart goal from scrimmage. In addition to Gold- blatt, outstanding players for Tech were Bob MacCartee, center, who despite that he was hurt and did not hold forth the whole game showed a keen eye for the basket, and Paul Brown, guard, who not only gave a stalwart defensive ex- hibitlon at guard, but came through with & couple of goals from scrimmage and a foul goal. Jimmy Thompson. forward, with seven points, headed Western's attack, with Freeman, center, and Hunt, guard, each counting five. From the outset it was a battle in the truest sense of the word. Tech Gets Good Start. Tech was ahead, 6 to 2, at the first quarter, MacCartee accounting for four of McKinley’s points. Western, how- ever, with Hunt doing most of fits counting, registered 10 points in the second period and at the half was in the van, 12 to 10. Battling continued at a furfous pace in the third quatrer, with the teams fighting tooth and nail, but with Western contriving to gain the edge at 19 to 18, as the quarter ended. Western held a slim edge for the first few minutes of the final period, with Tech then taking the lead, only to lose it in the late going when Freeman came through with a goal from scrimmage for Western. Shortly afterward, how- ever, Goldblatt took & cleverly executed pass from MacCartee and zoomed the leather through the net for the points that gave Tech its triumph. Business' victory over Central, the first in several seasons, was well earned. Nathan Newman, forward, was the ace of the Stenogs’ attack, coming through with four goals from the floor and two from the foul line for a total of 10 points. It was Newman who headed the vietory-producing spurt loosed by Busi- ness in the last minutes of the game. Romig, guard, did most of Central’s scoring. Until the late stages this game, like the Tech-Western contest, was bit- terly fought. Central was holding a 8-to-7 edge at the half after overcoming an early Bus- iness advantage and also was in front, 12 to 11, at the end of the third quarter. in the final period, however, the Stenogs, playing as though inspired. came through with a flock of baskets that gave them victory. In addition to Newman, timely shots were made dur- ing this drive by Sigman and Lucas. Tech (28) P. Western (24) Talburt, Woods, 1f.. Johnson.

Si- BY CORINNE FRAZIER. ORD received from the co-ed rifle team of the University of Pennsylvania reporting the result of their telegraph- ic encounter with the George ‘Washington markswomen, fired just be- fore Christmas, gives the Colonials a decisive victory, 495 to 464. This was the third match fired by the local squad, but the first to be reported. John Tarlton and Gettysburg teams have not been heard from. George Washington registered 496 against Tarlton in the opening match on their schedule and 494 against Gettysburg.

Capt. Teddy Capelll, Eastern's forward, was the big scorer of the game. He ran wild to count 26 points on nine goals from scrimmage and 8 from foul. Kane, with 18 points, and Tibbitts, with 132, topped the winners on attack. University of Maryland Freshmen handily defeated Baltimore Poly, 58 to 13, yesterday in the opening game of the season for the Old Line youngsters.
