THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MARCH 2, 1930—PART FIVE, D. C. Colleges End Basket Ball This Week and Schools All But Wind Up Lists ONLY ONE VARSITY FIVE HAS HAD A Lack of Material Is Evident in Catholic University’s Top-Heavy Loss—Hoyas Do Well, but Maryland Has Made Best Showing of Lot. BY H. C. BYRD. ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY apparently is the only local college basket ball team that will finish its seasop with more games lost than it has won. Incidentally, this is the worst year the Brooklanders ever have had on the court, and probably they never will have another as bad. At least, the latter part of the fore- C going sentence voices the fervent dinals. So far, the C. U. five has lost 19 more contests to play and probably to leave it with the remarkably poor record of 21 games lost againt 2 C. U. winds up its season this week with a game against St. John's at Annapolis Tuesday night and one here Thursday night The Brooklanders’ record so far has not victories, with George Washington. been such as to hold out only slim these games. The record of the C. U. team is a good criterion of how much material means in & won and lost record. Fred Rice, for many years coach of basket ball at C. U. always has had good quints and has had such remarkable and consistent success that he has es- | tablished himself as one of the best coaches in the country. However, a record of 19 games lost against 2 won would seem to indicate that the coaching was way below | stantiard, which it has not been. Rice is just as good a coach this yesr as he | ever was and he has tried to teach his | men the same basket ball that has| proved successful with his former | quints, but he simply has not had the personnel to carry cut his instructions To put it in another way, the best car- penter in the world could not.build a house without lumber and nails. Rice Will Come Back. What C. U. has done and is doing in basket ball this year, however, should | not be taken as a criterion of what may be expected of it in the future. Rice | probably will be back next Winter with an outfit just as strcng as some of his previous teams. George Washington is the only other | school that can possibly do as badly as | break even, and it is almost certain to | finish with more games won than are lost. The Colonials meet in their two final games this week Delaware and Catholic University. They would have to lose both games to wind up with eight games won and eight lost, but they probably have an éven chance to beat Delaware and certainly ought to take the measure of C. U. wn so far has won 13 games | and lost 10. The Blue and Gray has| not had as successful & season as was enjoyed a year ago, but it has phyed1 a longer and harder schedule and also suffered through the ineligibility of one or two of its best men. Gedrgetown has two more games, one with New York Athletic Club and the other with Columbia. The worst that can hap- pen to Georgetown is to finish with 13 victories against 12 defeats. Three Ended Season. Gallaudet, American University and Maryland wound up their schedules last week. Gallaudet nng American X.I‘ hardly played as many strong teams Georgy?ww% and Maryland, but both deserve credit for their accomplish- ments. Gallaudet won 11 games and lost -only 5, while American U. had 9 contests in which scores were on its side of the ledger'and 7 on the other side. Maryland probably has the best rec- ord o;ythe local schools and in all like- lihood the strongest team. mm’old Liners played a good many strong teams and met difficult opposition throughout the season, yet managed to win 16 games while losing only 5. If the defeat by Kentueky in the Southern Conference tournament be added in with the regular schedule, Maryland has & record of 16 victoriés against 6 losses. This week marks the end of the in- door season, with the e: of the track meet to be held by Ca o versity on March 12. Incidentally, it is understood that the Brooklanders’ first attempt in several years to stage a set of indoor games is meeting with considerable response and probably will be_very successful. Probably the most -important event of this final week of basket ball is Georgetown's game with Columbia. The Blue and Gray, if it can make the right kind of effort against the New Yorkers, will do much for basket ball in this section. Columbia stands as about the strongest of Northern fives and George- town's efforts against it should be watahed with a good deal of interest. Boxing Bouts to Draw. Locally, the most interesting event is likely to be the boxing match between Catholic University and Bucknell in the Brookland gymnasium Wedn night. Whatever may be said of box- ing as a sport, it seems to interest the people, and larger crowds go to watch it than to see any other kind of indoor competition, No event of any kind is scheduled to- morrow night, but Tuesday Catholic University's quint goes to Annapolis for a game with St. John's and George Washington travels to Newark to play 'EVENTS SCHEDULED | FRANKLIN AND MARSHALL Delaware. The George Washington freshman team also makes the trip to Delaware to meet Delaware’s first-year men. No basket ball game is listed Wednes- day night, and the boxing match at Brookland will be the sole attraction for followers of college sports. Thursday, Georgetown goes to New York for the first of two basket baill games, the clash that night being with New York Athletic Club. Friday night Columbia will be met. Catholic University meets George ‘Washington in two games of basket ball, varsity and freshman, both at George ‘Washington. As a climax to the week, the George- town boxing team will invade West- minster for & match with the strong Western Maryland aggregation. There should be plenty of action in this en- gagement. | G.

Of the 14 points scored by the Cap- ital players, 10 were credited to Cen- ter Legg, with 4 field 1s and 2 suc- cessful foul shots.

During the campaign it also lost Tech, as well as to Business, Central and Western, twice to the latter two. Against high schools in Maryland and Virginia Hyattsville made a fine show- ing, winning seven of eight games against such opponents, Catonsville (Md.) High, Charlotte Hall (Md.) Mili- tary Academy and Oakton (Va.) High each were twice beaten. Hyattsville won one and lost one to Rockville. Hyattsville fared not so well against District prep school quints. It broke even in two games with Woodward, but bowed to St. John's, Devitt and St. Al- bans. Though they have completed their regular schedule the Hyattsville tossers are still active W preparation for the State scholastic championship tourna- ment, which will soon get under way. It is likely that the Blue and Gold, which will automatically represent Prince Georges County in the tournament, being the only high school in the county to have a quint, will face Takoma-Silver Spring High, Montgomery County title holder, in its first game.
