Capital Schools and Colleges Offer Fans Plenty of Basket Ball This Week HIGH QUINTS PLAY FOURTITLETILTS DEL RAY QUINTET FACING BIG TASK Central and Western Hope to|Plays Three Strong Teams Keep Slates Clean in Coming Battles. BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR. OUR games, the results of which | are expected to go far toward | settling the public high school | basket ball championship series, headline the big program carded for scholastic dribblers of the District area this week. Central now is leading the series race with two wins in as many starts. Western, the only other quirit of the five yet to meet defeat, has won its lone start. A total of 29 court games are sched- | uled for the week. In addition a swim- ming meet is slated. Tech and Western and Business and Eastern will clash Tuesday, and West- ern and Central and Tech will have it out Friday in the series games in the Tech gym. Action, as usual, will start each day at 3:30 o'clock. A host of other attractive court con- tests are carded, with action scheduled every day. Among the most interest- ing contests listed outside of the title series are those between St. John's and Eastern tomorrow afternoon in the Eastern gym at 3:30 o'clock, Swavely and Business at Business, and Eastern and Episcopal at Alexandria on Wednes- day, George Washington Freshmen and Gonzaga in the latter's gym on Thurs- day, and Eastern and Georgetown Freshmen at G. Uy and Devitt and Gonzaga on the Devitt floor Friday. Devitt will open its campaign against Georgetown Freshmen Wednesday night in the preliminary to the Hoya Varsity- Washington College game. Central’s undefeated swimming team | will go to Port Deposit, Md., Saturday to engage the Tome natators. Tech, defending public high cham- pion, which lost its opening series game last Tuesday to Business, 37 to 26, will be striving hard for a win over Western ‘Tuesday to keep in the title race. ‘Western, which made its series debut with a 36-32 win over Eastern Priday, will be battling just as hard to keep its_siate clean. Business, 22-24 victim of Central Friday, will put forth all it has to down Eastern in the other half of Tuesday’s double-header. The Stenogs cannot af- ford to lose if they would keep up with the leaders in the flag chase. Eastern will make a desperate stand against the Stenogs, as one more loss will just about remove from title chances the Lincoln Parkers, who have lost their two starts to date. in Week—Celtics to Use Revamped Gymnasium. LEXANDRIA, Va,, January 11.— Del Ray A. C. will meet three strong Washington basket ball teams next week, two of which will be played in Capital City gymna- | silums, while the other will be encoun- tered here Wednesday night in Del Ray’s first home game this season.

Gonzaga has 8| combination apparently of consider- able strength. Just what kind of a| team Devitt will have is uncertain in | view of the fact that the quint repre- senting that school is yet to show its wares in formal competition. Tomorrow, the lightest day of the week, will see only two games. In ad- | dition to the St. John's-Eastem tilt, St. Albans and Silver Spring High are to face at Silver Spring.

Brown gave V. M. I. the lead with a one-hander, but Baird, MacCartee and Fader dribbled successively down the floor to put the Johnnies well out in front. MacCartee ccunted twice more before the half ended with St. John's on the long end of a 17-to-10 score. The cadets came back strong in the second period to put on two rallies, each bringing them within three points of a tie. MacCartee proved too much to handle, however, and took care of the nconng. while his team mates played such tight defensive ball that the cadets rarely obtained open shots at the basket. V.M.

January 11.— Opening its basket ball season here this afternoon, the Naval Academy Plebes showed more speed and better shooting than their opponents, Emerson Institute of Washington, and won by 33 to 14. The high scorer of the game was Loughlin of the Navy, who was the leading schcolboy scorer of Pennsyl- vania, while playing with Episcopal High School last year. He netted the ball from the floor five times. Pisher, right forward, was the ace of the visitors and scored just half his team’s points, with three goals from the floor and one from the line. The Navy yearlings forged to the front in the middle of the first half, finished that period 14 to 7 and had no difficulty in keeping a substantial mar- gin ahead. Summary: Plebes (33). McAfee, 1f...

N most cities of the country a col- lege basket ball game is something of an event, but here in Washing- ton it is coming to be so common as to be almost lacking in any unusual interest. Local colleges are to take part in contests every night this week, four- teen games being listed from Monday till Saturday, inclusive. This is almost as many games as most citieg have in a year, representing as it does almost a complete home schedule for a season. Of the six local colleges having con- tests, cnly two face each other. Amer- ican University goes out to Brookland to meet Catholic U, tomorrow night. The other most important contests are between Catholic University and Navy at Annapolis on Saturday afternoon, Johns Hopkins and Maryland at Col- lege Park Friday night and Georgetown at New York University Saturday night. Here is the list of games for the week: MONDAY. ¥ American University at Catholic University. 3 TUESDAY. Loyola of Baltimore at Catholic Uni- versity. Maryland at Virginia. ‘WEDNESDAY.

Gallaudet at St. John's of Annapolis. A deal is being written of the ibility of so changing the rules of ket ball that the big man will not have such an advantage over the small- er player. It is expected that these changes may take the form of raising the baskets higher from the floor and of eliminating the toss from center in tting . It is argued he baskets higher will . big, tall l{ahyen from vir- ually putting the ball in, but it seems to be discounted that moving the bas- kets higher moves them just as much farther away from the small man as from the big man, and from a stand- point of geometrical angles actually makes the small man's job compara- tively more difficult. Also, if many years of observation of basket ball coynt for much, too much stress is laid on the value of jump plays from cen- ter, When one center all the time gets the tap off, that is unquestionably an advantage, but it is not so much of an advantage as is sometimes thought. Rule makers may try to get some code that will make the good small man the equal of the good big one, but so far not yet been devised to ac- complish that, and it is not likely that anything will, as far as physical con- tact games are concerned.

QGeorge Washington used to have in George Collifiower one of the greatest gua that ever stood on & local court and Charley Wetzel of Georgetown was_ another wonderful guard and so was Fowler who held down that job for the Y. M. C. A. when that organization was represented by one of the strong quints of the South and when games between it and Georgetown marked the high light of local schedules. Fred Rice, now coach at Catholic University, was said at one time to be the greatest college center that ever played basket ball anywhere, and Catholic University used to have a for- ward named Tracy who knew exactly what he was doing and did it. Ed Lynch of more recent years at C. U. was a great guard. Of course, compar- ing old players with men now in the game is more or less of a hazardous proposition, but it probably is true that during the years that have gone by some men have stood out as better men than now are playing, but it also seems to be just as true that basket ball as a game as progressed and that teams now Ell,vlng are probably better versed in e:;lfe:hlzlll and better as teams. How- ,there are many stars of yesteryear wRo would dispute that. s THREE SOCCER MATCHES FOR D. C.
