JRS. PROMENADE TOMORROW NIGHT Effective A Season's End

by Paul Curran The afternoon of Monday,

February 11, 1952, marked a day of vital importance in the history of Georgetown athle- tics. It was on this date that Buddy O’Grady announced his in- tention of resigning as basketball

coach at the conclusion of the

present cage season. Thus, on

March 7, following the New York

Athletic Club game, Georgetown

and Buddy O'Grady will part com-

pany. Far more than one HOYA article would have to be written if

the entire O'Grady story were to

be told. Perhaps it never will be because Buddy O’Grady, a true

gentleman of Georgetown in every

sense of the word, is not the type of person who would ever even

consider turning on his Alma

Mater. Frances “Buddy” O’Grady, an

all-time Hoya court great, was

graduated from the Hilltop in 1942.

While an undergraduate he cap-

tained both Freshman and Varsity

basketball squads. Buddy was also

elected to the office of Treasurer

of the Yard. After serving for three years as a commissioned of-

ficer in the U. S. Air Force, Buddy

starred on the championship Wash- ington “Caps” and St. Louis Bomb-

ers in the Basketball Association of America.

In 1949, O'Grady came to Georgetown as Head Basketball

Coach, replacing Elmer Ripley. In

his first season at the helm, Buddy took over a demoralized quintet

and guided them to a successful season of 12 wins and 12 losses.

In his second year at the reins,

O’Grady’s sophomore squad finished its season with a record of 8 wins and 14 losses. In compiling

Forum Rates A 7.5

The Georgetown University Forum has received the second highest popularity rating in a sampling of five discussion-type television programs taken last month by ‘Pulse Rat- ings.” Only “Meet the Press,” an

established fixture on the networks, surpassed the Georgetown show in

viewer-interest with a rating of twelve. The figure for the George-

town Forum was 7.5

Following with lower percent- ages were “American Forum of the

Air,” 7.0; “Keep Posted,” 5.0, and Johns Hopkins Science Review, 4.5.

The program, heard on the Du-

Mont network Sundays at 6:30 is an informal and educational discussion of all aspects of American

life. The keynote of the program,

directed by Rev. Daniel E. Power, S. J, and moderated by Frank

Blair, is clarification rather than

controversy. The guests are men

who are best qualified to speak on

the variety of subjects discussed.

Viyman Has Lead In Drama The Mask and Bauble’s plans to stage the Broadway play “A Sound of Hunting” have

been put into action with the all male cast of eleven polishing their lines for the Feb. 25

curtain call. With three years experience with the Hoya a group, Director Tony Manzi hopes to make

“Sound” as successful as his last production, “THE MALE ANIMAL!” After a regular

Mobilizer Wilson Speaks

On His Dept. at Gaston Mr Charles E. Wilson, Director of the Office of Defense

Mobilization, discussed the aims and problems of his agency Monday evening in the fifth in the current series of Gaston

Lectures. Mr. Wilson, who is a former president of the General

Electric Company, stated that he took his present job in De- cember 1950 because he believes in the principle which is at stake in Korea “The challenge had to be met in Korea,”

stated the mobilizer; other fron-

tiers would have been violated if we had not intervened.

Although sacrifices of comfort will have to be made at home, Mr.

Wilson reminded his audience of the “immensely greater” sacrifices

{ \ p !

Honorable Charles E. Wilson

required of those doing the actual

fighting. The Defense Mobilizer

sees our task as being one of

“building the might of the free

world” That might includes not

only physical output, but also spir-

itual and moral mobilization; to-

gether they form an “invincible combination.”

The aim of mobilization is four-

fold, according to Mr. Wilson: to

prepare military equipment for our

fighting men and their allies; to

establish reserve production lines

in case of a total mobilization is precipitated by total war; to ex-

pand industrial capacity so that

the economy will be able to sustain

the drain imposed on it by military

and civilian needs, and to maintain

the civilian economy at reasonable levels

We took a ‘“gamble” when we

decided on limited mobilization

after the outbreak of hostilities in

Korea, stated the mobilizer; we

gambled that the fighting would

not spead, and the nearly two years

that has lapsed since June 1950

have “borne out” that decision.

Millions of workers unemployed

and closed factories are the con-

comitants of unlimited mobilization

in a time of limited crisis.

Concerning the 52 billions of dollars President Truman has re-

quested for the military establsh-

ment, Mr. Wilson believes we cannot afford to spend less. He feels

ths figure is better weighed as 15% of our gross national production.

We must scale down the economy

for a long-range program. We are

at present stretching the burden

of mobilization over a period of

years.

One of the problems faced by the

Mobilization Office is that of ma-

terials in short supply. Mr. Wilson

mentioned the lack of nickel and

copper; to meet these difficulties,

extraordinary means have been em-

ployed. He cited a South American

scource of nickel which was utilized

in World War II and then aban-

doned; this source is again being

employed to succor our military

needs. The lag in production is not

discouraging to the mobilizer who

informed his audience that “it

takes twenty-one days to hatch an

egg, no matter how many hens lay

on:it.”

BULLETIN All eligibile students who intend

to take the Selective Service Col-

lege Qualification Test in 1952

should file applications at once for

the April 24 administration, Selec-

tive Service Headquarters advised

today.

An application and a bulletin of

information may be obtained at any

Selective Service local board. Fol-

lowing instructions in the bulletin,

the student should fill out his ap-

plication immediately and mail it

in the special envelope provided.

Applications must be postmarked

no later than midnight, March 10,

1952. Early filing will be greatly to the student’s advantage.

Results will be reported to the

student’s Selective Service local

board of jurisdiction for use in

considering his deferment as a student, according to Education Test-

ing Service, which prepares and

administers the College Qualifica-

tion Test.

run on Holy Trinity Stage, the “ANIMAL” trekked to Tarry- town, New York where it was presented before a Mary- mount College audience.

Harry Brown, little known author

of the Movie script, “SALERNO

BEACHHEAD,”” brings to the stage

the story of a squad of infantrymen

stationed among the frontline ruins

of Casino. Like a Greek drama, the action

of the play is centered in one place, a combination dug-out and

Pvt. Dino Collucci in the coming production of “A Sound of

cave. In the course of a patrol, one

of the squad is pinned down by

enemy fire. Having received the long awaited news to withdraw,

the men face the dilemna of aban-

doning their compainion or diso- beying orders. To add to their

troubles, a conscientious war cor-

respondent comes upon the scene and tries to make an epic stand of

their trials.

Pete Vlyman, who plays the lead

as the ribald hero who solves their

problems has become well-known

on campus, not only for his beard, but also as WGTB’s chief engineer

for the past four years.

A B.S.S. Senior whose home is

in Long Island, Vlyman graduated

from Brooklyn Prep. After a brief

sojourn with the Army, he entered the College where he majors

in History and Government.

Although this is his first appear-

ance on the stage, Pete is suited

for the role of Pvt. Dino Collucci

both because of his Army experi-

ence and the required Brooklyn

accent.

Among the supporting cast are

M. & B. President, Jack Craig (Pfc.

Karl Muller), Tom Kelly (Capt. Trelawney), Joe Sickles (Sgt. Car-

ter), Ed Riley (Pfc Saul Shapiro),

James Krill (Sgt. Mooney) and

Pete Carroll (Pfc. Morris Fergu-

son). Tickets for the show, which will

run February 25 and 26, may be

purchased from members of the

cast, M. & B. corridor represen-

tatives, or in the Cafeteria. Stu-

dent tickets are $.75, general ad-

mission $1.20.

Statler Dance

Opens Weekend The leading Georgetown so-

cial event for 1952 will com- mence its festivities tomorrow night at 9 o’clock at the Stat- ler with this year’s edition of the Junior Prom.

Focal point of a three-day week-

end, the dance will be held in the

Presidential and Congressional Ball

rooms of the Hotel from 9 to 1.

Approximately 400 Hoyas and their

dates will dance to music provid-

ed by Art Mooney and his Orches-

tra, with Stan Brown filling in dur-

ing intermissions to provide con-

tinuous music.

For the first time since the war, the Junior Prom of 1952 will be a real Junior Promenade. At about

11 o'clock, there will be a Grand March of the Juniors through the

twin ball rooms. In announcing the ceremony, Prom Chairman Gene

Shearer asked the Juniors to fol-

low the instructions of the ushers

and the Committee so that the pro-

ceedings will go without hitch.

Soon after the Prom, at about

midnight, the Prom Queen will be

announced and crowned. The

choice will be made by the Com-

mittee itself, and so secret is this

aspect of the proceedings that even

the method of selection has not

as yet been revealed.

Further features of the dance

will be the rather striking program

ad a favor which, according to

Favor Committee Chairman Paul

Curran is the “most expensive

ever.”

Feature of Saturday will be the Cocktail Party in the Main Ball- room of the Hotel Shoreham from

2 to 5. Stan Brown will provide

music for dancing and the George-

town Chimes will appear to provide

their own brand of harmony. Those

who wish to attend the Cocktail

Party alone may obtain admission

for $3.00. Extra tickets for cock-

tails can be obtained for the same

fee.

That evening, there will be a bas-

ketball game in McDonough Gym

at 8:30 between Georgetown and

Richmond.

The proceedings will close Sun-

day with a Mass in Dahlgren at

10:30 followed by a Breakfast in Maguire. That afternoon, at 1 Gas-

ton Hall will be the scene of a sort

of musical contest, billed as a con-

cert, between the harmony of the

Chimes and the “harmony” of T. Riley’s Dixieland Combo.

Interwoven with this framework

of formal prom festivities will be

the usual series of less formal,

more spontaneous parties, suppers,

ete. But below, is summarized the

events, times, places of the week-

end proper:

Thursday, February 14, 1952

Editorial

Time Out This week the HOYA is without

the services of half-a-dozen of its

Senior editors, men who have been

the backbone and skeleton of its

staff. As editors and managers,

their names have been significantly

absent from the pages of the

HOYA, for their job was to record rather than to make news. And yet,

this is in a sense unfair. Like men in a dozen other ac-

tivities on this Campus, they have

sacrificed their leisure time and as-

sumed the added burdens that are involved in extra-curricular office.

In their jobs, like others in other extra-curriculars, they have been giving to themselves and to G.U.

that extra bit of work and of ac- hievement that means, for George-

town, better public relations and

opinion, and for the Georgetown student body, better student-faculty, better student-student relations,

in addition to those moments of

entertainment that Glee Club and

Band concerts, M. & B. plays, WG-

TB broadcasts, even Journal ar-

ticles, provide. The HOYA has tried to give

these other men the recognition that is due them and to provide

some mass medium for publicizing

their activities and so aiding in the

success of those activities. And it

has tried too to seek out new paths,

or to find ways of improving old

paths, toward those goals of better

Student Government, better spirit,

better intra-school cooperation, etc.

that are summarized in the some-

what overworked phrase—a great-

er Georgetown. This has been a big year for

Georgetown in many ways. It saw

the first peacetime February Class,

the first Peacetime Acceleration. It

saw the completion of the long-

awaited McDonough Memorial

Gymnasium. It has been a tragic

year with perhaps the worst dis-

aster in the University’s history

taking the lives of four of its stu-

dent leaders. It has been an aver-

age year with the usual number of

dances, picnics, parties, examina-

tions, conditions, flunks . . .

In all these aspects of George-

town life, it has been the aim of

the HOYA to report the news as it happened soon after it happened.

That its success was not inconsid-

erable is due in large measure to

the efforts of men like John Cas-

sidy, its Editor, a succession of

Sports Editors, Ed Conway, Charlie

Steele, Ed O'Neill, Photo Editor

Harry Briegs, production experts

Charlie Perotta and Bob Mersch, and, on the vital financial front, to

money changers Fred Bricker and

Tony Math,

Like all things new, this se-

mester’s staff feels it has a better answer to certain problems than

its predecessor, that in some ways, it will find a smoother, faster road,

will push farther, will pioneer more

fully. In the issues to come, it will

learn, as others have learned be-

fore, that some of these goals it has set itself are impossible. In others,

if it is at all worth the trouble pu

into it, it will be able to make some progress, which someone has des-

cribed as a pigmy standing on the

shoulders of the giant.

It is of the top of that giant that

we speak today and to it that we

give our thanks—to those who have

come before us. Before we go back

to the business of covering what

other people do, it is only right

that they should be recognized

now for what they have done, for the hours of each week devoted to

te coverage of all that Georgetown

has done or been in the last twelve

months, for their attempt to give

you, the Student Body, a record

and a preview of those activities, a

forum for your opinions of them, and, we hope, some creative pro-

posals toward the improvement of

those activities now and in the fu-

ture.

With this then as its thanks to the old and preface to what is to

come, the new staff will hereby

cease to contemplate itself and re-

turn to the paths of its predeces-

sors, to quote one of them, “per-

haps paving some of the rough

spots where we are still not satis-

fied, we hope striking some new

frontiers still untried.”

Sophomores Revue '51: Prevue 2 nd Semester

by Al Giordano and and Frank Heck The Sophomore Class began preparing for the Spring semester with a policy-planning

meeting in the Dorm last Thursday evening. Soph President Tom Early called the meeting specifically to discuss social affairs in the near future. He also reviewed the record of the Class up to date.

In reviewing the Soph activities during the school year of 1951-52, it is, of course necessary to mention the functions that took place during the Summer session. The Sophs opened the eyes of the entire student body by staging a dance on the lower tennis courts.

Everyone was very surprised by

the large number of girls present

for this “Tennis Ball” and equally

surprised that “T-Bone” Riley and

his crew didn’t shake odwn the

Japanese lanterns with his, let us

say, “real” music. Much of the success of the affair was achieved

throught the tireless efforts of Fr. Edward Powers, S. J.

The other function in which the Sophs took part during that mem-

orable summer was to co-sponsor

a Prom Weekend with the Junior Class. The Weekend was composed

of a Summer Formal, picnic, Cock-

tail party and Communion Break- fast. Undoubtedly this weekend.

was a hugh success both financially

and socially for the Junior and

Soph Classes.

After three weeks of basking in

the sunshine for some, and three

and a half months for the more

fortunate, the Sophs returned to their new quarter, the Soph Dorm.

Although some of the students

found their rooms to be old op-

erating rooms, closets, etc., the

sophs took a great liking to the

Dorm almost immediately. The new semester saw the Sophs

get off to an eventful start by shouldering the rather dubious

honor of hazing the new Men of

Georgetown. Angelo the Barber re-

ceived a little unexpected rival

business from some ‘scissor happy”

Sophs, but those ‘customer

thieves” were soon back in line. Following the hazing, a Smoker

was held as a general get-together.

This was the Sophs’ first introduc-

tion to the K. of C. Hall. The formation of interclass

teams in the new intramural foot-

ball setup gave the Sophs the

opportunity they wanted to show

their spirit. The knickname “Graul-

ers” became the symbol of Class unity. Armed with a mascot, class

songs, and ‘“‘Grauler” cheers at the

rallies and games the class went

all out to back its representative

on the field. The season ended with a three way tie with the Seniors as the only ones not wearing the

title “Champions.”

In order to show their apprecia-

tion for a job well done, the Sophs

honored their team and coaches at

their second K. of C. Smoker.

The Christmas Banquet provided

the Sophs with the opportunity of

showing their gratitude to their

Director of Student Personnel,

Father Grau, for his ever-present

guidance and assistance in each of

the Class ventures. As a token of

the Class’ appreciation, gifts were

presented to Fr. Grau, Fr. Delmage

and Fr. Betowski and to the wait-

ers and waitresses.

But past laurels do not guaran-

tee future success, Tom Early pointed out to the gathering of

Sophs. He presented the social cal-

endar of the next few months

with the reminder that much work

was in store to make each affair become its expected success.

The outstanding event will be

a Frosh-Soph Dance on April 25th

in McDonough Gymnasium. A poll

taken in the Freshman and Sopho-

more classes indicated they desired

to be the first to hold a dance in

the new gym. Plans are now being

completed and the various Com-

mittees will soon be formed from

both classes. It was pointed out

that complete cooperation and sup-

port are going to be essential to

the overall success of the dance.

The Soph Class,

with the Sodality are tentatively

in cooperation {a guest speaker in the early Spring.

NFCCS Opens Recreation

Center; Starts Saturday Manuel E. Monserrate, Georgetown College’s Senior Dele-

ROTC Starts Flight Program

The Air Force has institu- ted a special Flight Training Program for Advanced ROTC Students, designed to prepare them better for entry into reserve Air Force flight schools. This the course does by giving the stu-

dents subjects usually taken in

ground training at flight school.

The Air Force hopes to get 10,-

00 students from this course by June 1954 from the several univer- sities in which the course is being

offered. Here the course was begun in

September, 1951. Students are chos-

en jointly by the PAS&T and the

Dean (or the Regent of the Foreign

Service), and are given a special

physical exam at Bolling Field.

Students are chosen from the Jun-

iors taking the Advanced Course.

Captain Eric Linhoff, USAF, a rated pilot, teaches the course.

At the completion of the special

course in College, the students go

to a flight school run by the Air

Training Command. Here they may take a course in Pilot Train- ing, Navigator Training, Bombard- ier Training or Radar Observation. Their courses at Training School

last one year, during the course of

which they receive flight pay. The

cadets graduate wtih a commission

as a Second Lieutenant in the Air

Force Reserve.

Eighteen months after they have

begun active duty students may

compete for a commission in the

Regular Air Force.

some tangible service with more universal appeal.

The Center is to open Sat- urday, February 16, at the Knights of Columbus Hall on 16th and R St, N. W. It will be open that evening from 7:30 to 11:30. The admission price is set ° at $.50, and for this very nominal fee music a la juke-box, plenty of

dancing space, a snack bar with sandwiches, coffee, soda, etc., tab-

les for card-playing, and, of course,

plenty of lounging space. If the

opening is a success, great things

are planned for the future: dances,

bridge tournaments and a more

ambitious and expanded schedule of hours.

The Recreation Center is desig- nated to appeal to a collegiate

group which is looking for an informal, inexpensive manner in

which to spend a Saturday evening.

The NFCCS asks its members who feel that this venture is worth- while to do their best to support

the initial effort this Saturday, and

the organization promises to take

its cue from there. So see your

NFCCS senior delegate in room 122 Copley today in order to buy

an admission for this week and an

investment for future weeks.

Dr. Briefs Reports on Unique Labor Movement

Dr. Goetz A Briefs, professor of labor economics in the Georgetown University Graduate School, returned February 6 from an extended research tour of Western Europe. The educator’s trip, made possible through a grant to Georgetown by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation for Industrial Research, was to make a study of union participation in the management of industry.

In Germany, Dr. Briefs learned, the unions have se- cured practical parity with the

shareholders on the boards of di-

recters of the mining and steel in-

dustries. They have the right to

be represented on the board of

managers by a so-called labor di-

rector, who is on an equal basis

with the business manager and the technical director. The aim of the

unions is to extend the same pattern to other industries. NEW TYPE

“This new German type of labor

participation in industry is unique,”

Dr. Briefs stated, “in that no other

industrial nation has gone this

far. The very structure of the Soviet and Satellite economies pre- cludes any union autonomy what-

ever. The German experiment, if

successful, might well invite imita-

tion by other industrial nations

where unions are strong.” Regarding the dynamics of the

new German experiment, Dr.

Briefs continued, are the questions:

Is this innovation an end in itself?

Is it but a stepping stone toward

socialization? Or does it presage

a third system—a system between

capitalism and socialism? The lat-

ter view is taken by a number of

union intellectuals who deem the

antithesis of capitalism and social-

ism to be outdated. Hence, capital

and labor have to cooperate in run-

ning the firms.

BALANCE WITH LABOR

Professor Briefs personally

thinks that such a joint dominion

is impossible, or at least highly

improbable. The actual balance of

power and influence is too strongly

on the side of labor. However, so

much of the belief in the magic of

socialism has survived that many

labor groups take the present form

of co-management as a down pay-

ment on future socialization."

PREDICTION “The new experiment,” Dr.

Briefs added, “was started under

favorable external conditions. Ger-

man basic industries are booming. The real test of co-management

and its true dynamics will appear

as soon as the boom period slows

down or a depression replaces it.

It may then turn out that the

unions have bitten off more than

they can chew. However, the Ger-

man experiment bears close watch-

ing.”

TV Forum Airs Experts On

Aid to Curtain Undergrounds “The only way we can avoid an atomic war with Russia,”

said Dr. James Burnham, author of “The Coming Defeat of

Communism,” “is to win over the Soviet peoples by aiding

and fostering revolution behind the Iron Curtain.”

Dr. Burham participated on the Georgetown University BEE t

GEORGETOWN]

Seen on last Sunday’s Georgetown Radio Forum were (L. to R.)

Frank Blair, John Gerrity, Hon. Harry J. Auslinger, Major Robert

V. Murray, and Dr. Clifton H. Himmelsbach.

Forum with Representative Charles Kersten (R., Wis.), Mr. Henry O’Connor, Displac- ed Persons Commissioner, and Professor Dobriansky of Georgetown University. The panel

discussed the important subject, Will Aid to the Underground Crack

the Kremlin wall? The topic under

discussion was Representative Ker-

sten’s Amendment to the Mutual

Security Act providing for aid to

the underground in Russia and the

satelites. Representative Kersten opened

th Forum with an explanation and

summary of his Resolution. He

pointed out that the greatest en- emies of Communism reside be-

hind the Iron Curtain and that the

Soviets had already murdered 30,-

000,000 of their own people. Rep-

resentative Kersten explained that

his Resolution provides up to one hundred million dollars aid for

the formation of military units composed of escapees and for di-

rect aid to the anti-Communist

underground.

Photo by Harold Briegs.

Mr. O'Connor added that he had

personally talked to literally thou-

sands of escapees and had come to

the conclusion that the weakest

link in the Communist system is

the people under its control.

Dr. Burnham noted the interest-

ing fact that the Communists in the

U.N. are complaining more about

the comparatively small amount of

money within the Kersten Amend-

ment than they have ever complain- ed about the multi-billion dollar

economic and military programs of

the Administration. Professor Do-

briansky, President of the Ukrain-

ian Congress Committee, stated

that there are quite a few pockets

of resistance in various areas of

the Soviet Union. Dr. Burnham and

Rep Kersten both recalled the fact

that millions of Russians had de-

serted to the Germans during the

last war, in the belief that they

were being liberated.

Rep. Kersten said that his Res-

olution emboided the principles of

Chief scource of trouble, economically speaking, results from the need for rearmament. Russia’s military strength is five times that of the United States, according to Illinois’ senior Senator. This need for rearmament results in an anticipated budget expenditure of 71- 73 billions of dollars. Since only 63 billions of this can be raised by taxation, the re- mainder is a deficit. Our economic woe results, “not from the welfare state but from the war- fare world.” Senator Douglas main-

tained that unless we reduce a

great portion of that deficit, infla-

tion will result. People with fixed

Senator Paul H. Douglas

incomes always are forced to bear

the burden of such deficits, stated

the Senator who speaks with a

wide background as Professor of

Economics at Chicago University

and former President of the Ameri-

can Medical Society.

Senator Douglas favors paring

down the budget in many of its

important facets. We can cut 1.5

billions from the non-military ex-

penditure, 4 from the military with-

out hurting efficiency, and 2 from

foreign aid. Last year Congress

effected a cut in the expenditures

of non-defense agencies simply by

cutting the number of paid days

of vacation from 26 to 20.

The State Department was cited

as an example of dispensible mis-

management. While 4,000 persons

were on the Department’s payroll

in 1942, 28,000 are employed to-

day; in particular the Senator ex-

pressed the view that the informa-

cluding the Russians, have the right

to determine their own form of government, and that it is Ameri-

ca’s duty, as the bastion of democ-

racy, to help those people to gain

freedom Commissioner O’Connor pointed

out that all we must do to win the

friendship and support of the Iron

Curtain peoples is to promise them

freedom and self-determination of

government. Representative Ker-

sten concluded the Forum with the

statement, “Communism can be

beaten without a shot if we can

only prove to the Soviet peoples that we will help them to gain

liberty and freedom from their

dependence, that all peoples, in-' chains of slavery.”

tion department was overstaffed.

The Department of Agriculture

was termed a ‘loose federation of sovereign bureaus’; while the Vet-

erans’ Administration maintains

188,000 employees to carry on its

operations. In one of his most emphatic re-

marks of the evening, Senator

Douglas verbally castigated the

block of southern-border-mountain

states which possess one quarter of

the population yet ‘control the Sen-

ate and the country’ for the pork-

barrel tactics they employ on mat-

ters of appropriation. ‘“Socializa-

tion of losses” was the only term

the Illinois legislator could apply

to the fiscal policies followed by

the Reconstruction Finance Cor- poration. Needless to say, he fav-

ored reform in that agency.

The 300 million dollar subsidy

expended for farm conservation

came under attack on the ground

that its benefits were not felt by

the poor farmer but practically by

the wealthy. Senator Douglas cas-

tigated the hypocritical attitude of

the newspapers and magazines in

objecting to subsidides, maintain-

ing that they themselves receive

the greatest amount of federal

subsidy.

A chief obstacle in considering

the military aspect of the budget

is that you can’t get information

on it, according to the former pro-

fessor at the University of Chicago.

“When you want to get informa-

tion, you find it is classified. Doc-

tors bury their mistakes. Military

men classify theirs.” The fear of endangering national security is

another impediment faced by those

intent on reducing the expected

deficit. Inefficiency was attributed

to the Quartermaster Corps; over-

purchasing: ‘the navy has anchors

for fifty years’; buying luxury

items: 11,000 oyster forks; over-

specification: ‘five and a half pages specifying a ping-pong ball.’

About his ambitious program of

savings, Senator Douglas stated: “We can do it if the nation is will-

ing to do it.”

N.Y. Site For GW.'S Birthday Events

The quickly approaching Washington’s Birthday Weekend will be one of the most eventful weekends of the year for the Hoyas of Georgetown. At present the Student Council is in the process of endeavoring to extend the three day holiday to a four day weekend by taking the one Student Council holiday granted each year and utilizing it on Thursday, Feb- ruary 21.

Commencing the weekend’s festivities will be a Glee Club Concert and Dance to be held at

the Hotel Biltmore in New York

City on Friday, February 22. This

will not only be a social event for

Georgetown, but will also afford

an opportunity for the Faculty,

Parents and Friends of Georgetown

to become acquainted.

Featured on the evening's pro-

gram will be the Glee Club concert

beginning at 8:30 P. M. After the

reception, following the Glee

Club’s performance, there will be

continual dancing until 1:30 A. M.

Evening dress will be optional and

the price of the tickets is $5.00 per

couple.

That same evening, Madison

Square Garden will be the site for

the IC4A Track Meet in which

Georgetown placed third last year.

Georgetown will be represented

this year by our famed two mile relay team along with individual

participants in the middle and long distances probably running in

the two mile event.

The Sophomore Class of Mary- mount College of Tarrytown, N. Y.,

has extended an invitation to 75

Hoyas for a formal dance to be held

on Saturday, February 23, at 71st

St. and 5th Ave. in New York City.

All those interested in the dance

should sign up in the Sophomore

8S. P.O.

Since the majority of the activi-

ties will take place in New York,

Yard President Dick McCooey, has announced that a special train will

be run on the Pennsylvania Rail-

road for all those Hoyas interested

in taking in the New York week-

end. As the Student Council holi-

day is still in the offing and has

yet to be approved, the scheduled

time for the train hasn’t been defi-

nitely published.

Letter to the Editor Dear Sir:

Mike Driscoll, a freshman pre-

med student in the College, went

out for and made the J. V. Basket-

ball team. After the first term Mike

came to the conclusion that the

daily practice of the J. V. took too

much of his time, and as a result

his marks were not as high as they

could be. For this reason, Mike quit the

J. V. and wished to join the “Words, Wors, Words” intramural team.

There have been objections to his eligibility, especially from the Nic-

otine Nine team, who along with

the Words are undefeated. Mike

Driscoll receives no A. A. aid, he

pays full tuition and fees, and as

such has a right to all facilities of

the college which are open to any

other student. To prevent Mike from playing

because he had enough school spir-

it to make a try at the J. V. de-

spite a pre-med schedule would be

a gross injustice. Although we can

appreciate the reluctance of the

Nicotine Nine to see a player of

Mike’s caliber join a rival team,

we do not think there is or can

be any just reason for keeping

Mike Driscoll out of the league.

We take this opportunity of us-

ing the Hoya to make known our views on this matter, and this let-

ter is written before the meeting

of Captains which was to decide

the matter. In view of what is said

above we don’t believe the team

captains have any jurisdiction in

this matter, and that in reality

there is only one possible solution,

eligibility for Mike Driscoll. Sincerely,

Dave Scotton & Charlie Steele,

Co-Captains of the Words, Words,

Words.

Dear Sir:

On behalf of the Philodemic De-

bating Society, I would like to use

the medium of the Hoya to thank

Dean McGrath for his recent gift

to the Philodemic. Fr. McGrath has

presented the society with a new

gavel, made of wood which was a

part of the White House. A Dept.

of Commerce Official gave the ga-

vel to Fr. McGrath, who in turn

gave it to the Philodemic. The ga-

vel was used for the first time to

open last Tuesday's meeting. The

Philodemic was without a gavel,

and is very grateful to the Dean for a gavel with such an historical

background.

Sincerely,

Charles J. Steele, Treasurer, Philodemic Society.

February 8

Dear Sirs: x William Dougherty, Day - Hop

Representaive, introduced a reso-

lution at the Student Council

meeting of February 6 the conclud-

ing paragraph of which read as

follows: “Therefore Be It Resolv- ed: That the Student Council go

on record as not preferring or en-

dorsing that political party which

held a ceremonial diner in Me-

Donough Gymnasium on the night

of February 4, 1952, and further

that they do not prefer or indorse any individuals who might have addressed this assembly.” By an overwhelming vote, Mr. Dougherty

alone dissenting, the motion to

adopt the resolution was struck

from the minutes.

The only logical explanation for

this amazing course of action is

that the Council is unable to per-

ceive the pressing need for such a resolution. A review of the facts

will show that this need most cer-

tainly exists.

The dinner held by the Republi-

can Party in McDonough Gymnas-

ium received nation-wide publicity,

and every report duly mentioned

the fact that it was held on the

campus of Georgetown University.

Whether we like it or not, the

name of Georgetown has been in- timately linked with that of the Republican Party on every radio

station and in every newspaper in

the country. President Truman, in

speaking of the dinner, mentioned

the fact that it was held at George-

town. It is not too hard to imagine

how a misinformed or bigoted per-

son could accuse the University of

abandoning its traditional policy of

impartiality towards political par-

ties and personalities.

We believe, therefore, that the

student body, through their elected

representatives, should go on re-

cord as expressing no preference or

endorsement of the Republican

Party, or any other party.

Yours sincerely,

Jerome Walsh, Jr.

Thomas F. Ferris

Senior Reception The President of the Uni-

versity, Father J. Hunter Gu- thrie, S.J. and College Dean Father Brian McGrath, S.J., were honored at an informal reception given by the Senior Class

last Sunday. Martin O’Brien was

the chairman of this reception, the

first where Georgetown’s Presi-

dent attended a purely student

sponsored reception.

Besides nearly two hunderd Sen-

iors and Student Council mem-

bers, twenty faculty and administration officials also attended. Fath-

er Guthrie and Father McGrath

headed the receiving line. The idea of informality was stressed by the

fact that there were no speeches,

the only entertainment being a few

songs by the “Chimes”.

Senior Class President, Gene

Stack called the affair a great suc-

cess and expressed the hope that

this kind of reception will become

a Georgetown tradition.

Air Force Commissions Offered Young Grads

The United States Air Force announces that reserve commissions are now being offered to young men under twenty-seven years of age who have already graduated or who are

due to graduate from college in June 1952. The commissions are

in the grade of second lieutenant

and are available to individuals

majoring in engineering, physics,

mathematics or chemistry. Anyone interested and qualified

can obtain further information

from the Air Force ROTC office in

the basement of Copley Hall.

WGTB Finds Record Mine

During its Exam vacation, WGTB discovered two new and important sources of records, very new and very old. Through one of the Faculty members, WGTB was able to ac-

quire a colection of 12 inch 78

R.P.M. discs, mostly classical, but

including some of the classics of

Jazz,

Included were many of the stan-

dard classical works, including

quantities of Bach and Beethoven,

and ranging through Schumann,

Tschaikovsky, Prokofief, as well as

some of the more novel and little

heard works in the same field. The Jazz works include several

of the V-Discs, recordings made

during the War and never released

commercially.

The second source of records is

an agreement with the Super Music

Stores of Washington whereby that

company will provide every week

at least six of the latest top musical

releases, including always the ten

best sellers for the week. Of course,

since best-sellers have the habit of repeating for several weeks in a

row, not all the six releases a week

will be in that circle.

WGTB is at present compiling a

new schedule for the coming se-

mester which will be released and

published in the HOYA next week.

by Frank McLister After the ball is over, seems to be the tune now-a-days

with exams, long, gone and forgotten, and a new semester booming ahead of us, so party if you may, but let not a! book go astray . . . Congratulation are in store for the, fine dance held over the holidays by the Washington Club, and as usual everybody seemed to have a smashing good time . . . Now

that the Knights of the Blessed Sacrament have fully gotten under way, *

its very pleasing to see about sixty boys turn up weekly for their Mass |

and Communion day, which incidently, is every Friday at 8 o’clock in }

St. William’s Chapel . . . This should be an example for the rest of the |

Day-Hops to follow, After all, if sleepy Charley Garrett can make it, I know you can! . .. By the way, the K. B. S. is also sponsoring a dance ««

in the near future, so join now and be glad some night that you are a

Knight . . . Phil McInerney, it has been noted, is now majoring in

Spanish diplomacy due to his engagement in several social affairs with‘

the Embassy . . . The Day-Hops are being given a concert for their

parents by our ardent glee club next month, so let’s all get behind

this and let the folks know . . . It seems with all the bronze colored"

boys returning after the holidays, Miami must have had qutie a time

entertaining our Hoyas . . . Terry McGuire and Bob Cahill seem to =

think it’s the only place for a real education . . . In New York, recently, Dale Painter ran across quite a nice dish in

the automat. It’s funny what a nickel can buy these days . . . Jack Furai:

thinks that after meeting Elizabeth Taylor in Florida, he is destined for

a Hollywood career ... Now that the Casino has it’s pool table open

again due to the fact that the Day-Hops were blamed largely for vandal-*

ism in Copley Lounge, the only thing lacking now is the ping-pong

table and it’s accessories. This should be taken care of because many, idle moments are spent in the Day-Hop lounge and it should be a place

of amusement instead of a studying room such as 108 White Gravenor, |

which, incidently, we are very grateful to the Dean for his donations

of lounge chairs in which we may study as well are relax . . . Sal Quin-

noes seems to be forgetting to Dee emphasize many of his social ac-

tivities lately . . . The Mask and Bauble cast is expected to turn out’

another outstanding play next month, featuring three Day-Hops, in it

this time. Maybe this would be an sinspiration for some of us to look, .

into this organization. After all, an activity a year may save a tear! . .. The Intramural Basketball league looks to be in top form now with

the Half Safes and Riptide A.C., again stealing the limelight in both*

Junior and Senior leagues . . . These Day-Hops are talented—ask John Kish about that . . . Rumor has it that the boarders wish to challenge

an all-star team of Day-Hops to a basketball game in McDonough Gym \’

and the losers to throw a party for all . . . What do you think fellows? Hymar Schutte was heard making another groaning appearance lately y-

and as an aftermath wound up singing at Precinct No. 7 . . . A local

restaurant is featuring not only bologna for lunch but also our own Otto Graham as chief connoisseur of fine foods and wines . . . The"

Gonzaga Alumni Dance is coming up this month also and it looks as | though many Day-Hops will again venture to their I Street Alma Mater

. . . Well here’s looknig forward to a fine Junior Prom weekend and *

let’s hope that Joe Muldoon and Bruce Brennan distribute that large ,

box of goodies to all concerned . . . So stick close to your host and.’

Council By Bob

Tom Riley is one of the few Council members that needs no introduction. Tom is that versatile personality of the band. You probably remember him as the emcee at the

Senior Variety Show in Gaston

Hall last semester where his ad-

libbing shined. A proud product

of Loyola of Chicago, he calls

Grosse Point, Michigan home. T. Riley

While at Loyola he distinguished

himself as president of the band for two years and a four year dra-

matics man — “without a part”.

A writer for the school newspaper,

his one article appeared in its last

issue. Tom also adds, “I flunked

out of track and lightweight foot-

ball”, thus depriving future gener-

ations of tales of his athletic abil-

ity. He also played in three dance

bands out Chicagoway and appear-

ed in many variety shows, “win-

ning trophies no end”. WIDELY ACTIVE

Here at Georgetown he is the president of the band, Music Di-

rector of WGTB, member of the

Glee Club, Mask and Bauble (in all his twenty years of dramatics he has had only one rehearsed part

Sketch Shafter and that was eleven words in “Theree Men on a Horse”, and

even then he fouled that eleventh

word). He is also a member of the

Collegians, Gaston Lecture Com-

mittee, founding father of the

Dixie Band and Chairman of the

Barbershop Quartet Committee.

Naturally I probed for his views

on the Student Council, because

as leader of the Band he holds a seat on the Council. Tom said, “The Council should lead the Stu- dent Body actively; you have the

twenty-four Council members and

then a chasm between them and

the students.” The end should be

more school spirit. T. Riley says

G. U. is potentially the greatest

university. It never can be big in

size, but it can be big in its own

dsitinctive school spirit.

ON HONOR SYSTEM On the honor system, Tom ex-

pressed the opinion that we should

either have a complete honor sys-

tem or none whatsoever. If you

have a complete honor system, you

could even take your exams in

your room or even “the bathtub”

(not that Georgetown goes in for

bathtubs but you get the point).

“The honor system wil lead to the

fostering of honor in the individ-

ual, eventually therefore, no need for a discipline system”. The only

thing the Council will have to

change if (it does take action) in the honor report will be the tech-

nicalities, the idea of an over-all

honor code for each student should

remain.

If you can’t find Tom asleep or

in the cafeteria, look for him in

the new gym; he’ll be there super-

vising the construction of the Band

room. Tom Riley is a History ma-

jor and has no future, for he feels

the Navy will take care of that.

Fielding Memorial Barn Dance

A Barn Dance will be held in Ryan Gym on February 26, to raise funds for the Jim Fielding Track Trophy. Den- ny Scott and Ernie Fritz will be Co-Chairmen of this dance. It is open to the entire student body,

stag or drag, with all the girl

schools invited. The Jim Fielding Trophy will

take the place of the Al Blozis Tro-

phy which was discontinued by the

Class of 1951. The Al Blozis Trophy

and dinner was dropped because

Georgetown had dropped football

and it was felt more appropriate

to place it in the McDonough Me- morial Gymnasium as a memorial

to Intercollegiate Football and one

of its great participants, Al Blozis.

Jim Fielding was a sophmore

track sensation when he died in

Georgetown Hospital in the au-

tuum of 1950. Fe was twice Na-

tional Scholastic Sprint Champion

and was named to the Look Maga-

zine Scholastic All-American Track

Team for his accomplishments on

the cinders. It is expected that the

proceeds from the Barn Dance will

pay for the Jim Fielding Memorial.

Placement Opportunities

According to the George- town University Placement Bureau, several national concerns will be interviewing the students here in the coming months. Most of the concerns call

for graduates and they offer elabo-

rate training programs.

The National Broadcasting Com-

pany is to bere some time between

now and June, a representative of

the International Business Ma-

chines Corporation will be on the

campus on March 11th at 9 A. M,,

the Vick Chemical Company will

be here in April, Sears Roebuck

and Company will be on the cam-

pus February 17th and 18th; the

Commercial Credit Company will be here the 14th of February, as

will the General Electric Company.

The Firestone Tire and Rubber

Company will have a representative

here February 19th, and the Guar-

anty Trust Company will have a

representative on the 19th of Feb-

ruary. The Proctor and Gamble Com-

pany will have a representative

here the 15th of February. Many

concerns have not announced the

dates of their interviews, such as

the Hoyt Advertising Agency, Stan-

dard Oil, Armed Forces Security,

Civilian Personnel Division of the

Air Force, the Tremco Manufac-

turing Company, the J. C. Penney

Company, and the Radio Corpora-

tion of America. The Office of the

Placement Bureau suggests that

students interested in the announc-

ed or un-announced interviews

contact their office for further in-

formation as to times and dates of

appearance.

'‘God and Man at G. U. The Seventh Sodaliay Forum, presented tonight at 9 on

WGTB, will offer the topic “God and Man at Georgetown.” Participants in the Panel will be Fr. Lewis Delmage, S.J., Senior Psychology teacher, Seniors Gene Stack and Ed Small, and Sophomore Bob Cahill.

Fr. Delmage, who transfer- red to Georgetown this Fall from Scranton, should be able to afford a more objective view of Georgetown as com- pared to other Colleges in the

Colleges in the country. Gene Stack, President of the Senior

Class, and Ed Small, Chairman of

the Senior Gift Committee, as well

as Bub Cahill, who is a Sodalist

and ex-HOYA reporter, will pro-

vide the Hoya view.

The title of the discussion is clearly drawn from the recent best-

seller “God and Man at Yale,”

written by the former Editor of the

Yale daily paper, William Buckley.

The forum is a new feature of

Campus Sodality activity, intro-

duced this year by Prefect Fred Bricker to give the student body

an opportunity to become familiar

with the relation of their Philoso- phy to modern problems. On pre-

vious forums, such subjects as

cheating and probabilism have

been discussed by such professors

as Fr. L. C.. McHugh, S. J., Mr.

Thomas Garrett, S.J. and Father E.

Paul Betowski, S. J.

GOP Invades Gym

For Lincoln Ralley The pride and joy of Georgetown University lent itself last

Monday night to a loud and vigorous expression of the Ameri- can Way of Life. From all directions 7,000 Washingtonians, or at least those of Republican sentiments, converged on the recently completed McDonough Gymnasium to give vent to their feelings about the present administration, why it should be changed, and who should do the changing.

The beautiful building just off Canal Road literally reverber-

ated with speeches and demon-

stration in favor of Taft or Eisen-

hower, all of which lent itself to

the general exuberant and con-

fident spirit that could be felt in

the air.

Among the speakers were: Repre-

sentative Martin, House Minority

Leader and former Speaker, who

forcast “a great Republican vic-

tory,” Senators Ferguson of Mich-

igan, Bricker of Ohio, Mundt of

South Dakota, and Bennett of Utah. The master of ceremonies was the screen star Adolph Menjou.

Since its opening, McDonough

Memorial has had a number of

large crowds, but never before has

it been necessary to turn away so

many people. By a little after 6:00

P. M. the large parking lot in front

of the Gym was completely full, so

that police permitted cars to park

on one lane of Canal Road. By 7:30

P. M. admissions had to be stopped.

SPONTANEOUS? The Taft supporters had the

floor to themselves in the begin-

ning since the busses carrying the Eisenhower campaigners were

caught in the hugh traffic jam

that formed on all roads leading

to the gym. Banners, slogans, cam-

paign buttons, all proclaimed Taft

as “G.. O. P.’s best het for ’52.”

Eisenhower boosters finally did get there, though, and immediate-

ly proceded to try to boost the

stock of their candidate. A large

group of girls distributed 7000 “We

like Ike” buttons as supporters sang

“We Like Ike” to the tune of Ir- ving Berlin's song from “Call Me Madam.”

The program opened with a re-

citation of Lincoln's Gettysburg

Address by R. W. Bellamy.

Hoya Tankmen Split In Last Two Meets

The hard fighting Hoya tankmen have split in the decisions of their last two meets, taking a solid win from the | Gamecocks of South Carolina University and dropping a heart-

breaker to Loyola in Baltimore on

Saturday. In both meets George-

town’s ace medley relay team of Tobin, Tietje, and McSweeny en-

tered the record breaking class. At

South Carolina they broke a pool

record held by Clemson with the

time of 3:18. At Loyola the Mason- Dixon Conference record was sur-

passed by a 3:16 performance.

GAMECOCKS TAKEN

Against South Carolina the Ho-

yas were in command all the way

with seven out of ten firsts. It

was Rowan in the 50 yd. free style,

Tietje, breaking a pool record set

by the University of Florida in the

individual medley, McSweeny in

the 100 free style, Tobin in the back stroke, Tietie again in the

breast stroke, with the 400 yd. re-

lay team also winning. South Caro-

lina was strong in the distance

events and diving but the final

score was Georgetown 57, South

Carolina 27.

LOYOLA WINS

Saturday saw another story fold at Loyola as both teams

terly contested every point

victory went undecided until

last event. Following the close

of the medley relay team,

Hoyas lost their advantage as Lo-

yola gained a string of firsts and

thirds which Georgetown’s sec-

ond places could not match. Mac-

Donald took a second in the 220

yd. free style; Rowan, second in

the 50 yd. free style; Tietje, sec-

ond in the individual medley; Mec-

Sweeny in the 100 yd. free style

and Tobin in the backstroke could

do no better. The Hoyas swept

back and evened the score with

Feeney winning in the diving, Tie-

tje and de Rochefort placing one

and two in the breast stroke with

Fizzini and Flaherty doing the

same in the 440 yd. free style.

The score stood at 40 for Loyala

and 38 for Georgetown going into

the last event, the 400 yd. free

style relay. Its six points to the

winner would decide the meet. At

the end of 200 yards both teams

were even but Loyola’s last two

men were better than their first

and it was Loyola’s meet 46-38.

On the coming Saturday the Geo-

getown natators will journey to

Norfolk, Virginia for their next

test against William and Mary's

junior but better division.

Bolger Sparks G. U. As Scranton, Canisius Bow

The “Mystery Five” of Georgetown U. played two games in McDonough Gym over the holidays, and won them both in just about the same way. The U. of Scranton Royals were the first to arrive, and the Hoyas wasted no time in showing their Pa. guests just how good they could be and how bad they can get. Bill Bolger and Barry Sullivan took turns dropping through two pointers as the game got underway, and G.U. quickly piled up a 19-3 lead. From this point on Scranton actu-

ally outscored the Hoyas, who sud-

denly went into the Mr. Hyde part

of the act. If it weren't for Bolger’s

deadly shooting (he hit nine for

nineteen) and strong rebounding

the Hoyas could have blown their

early 16 point lead completely. As

is turned out, the Hoyas took a 70-

56 win.

CANISIUS TAKEN

The second quarter was the big

Two Mile Relay Combo

The Georgetown 2-mile relay team, in the persons of Dick Saunders, Charley Cap- ozzoli, Dave Boland and Carl Joyce, extended its winning streak to fifteen at the New York Athletic Club Meet on Sat-

urday last, and at the same time

lowered its own mark for the year

another notch. Still far and away

the best 2-mile relay to appear

before Eastern track audiences

this season, Frank Sevigne’s finest

turned in a swift 7:44.5 for the 22

laps on the Garden track. Though

the team is a long way from being

in top form, and despite the fact

that it was a patchwork affair in

the A. C. Meet, due to the absence

of both Tom Vorhees and Joe La

Pierre, it still came home in front

of Yale, Penn and Navy to prove

again that adequate competition

does not yet exist on the East

Coast for the high-stepping Hoyas.

Denied the extensive television

audience which last year’s championship team so thoroughly capti-

vated, this year’s team is under-

rated, though potentially capable

of bettering last year’s mark.

EASY VICTORY

Saunders led off for Georgetown,

and his 1:57.5 half was enough to

put the Blue and Gray into first

place from the start. Charley Cap-

ozzoli received the baton from

Saunders, and with the impetus of

this running start the versatile

turned in a 1:54.6 half, and the

cumulative effect of this fine run-

ning appeared in the 80 yard

margin which Georgetown had

over second place Yale as Joyce

sagging third-quarter brought the

total up to 3:10.6. After that, Wilt

took over the lead and stayed in

front till the phototimer called

him the winner in 4:10.4.

BROPHY SURPRISES A surprise boost for George-

town was provided by Ray Brophy,

who succeeded in capturing a

fourth place in the 60-yard high

hurdles. Brophy, though listed as

only a provisional starter, managed to finish closely behind Dart-

fared better had he not unfortun-

Hoyas Drubbed In Two Road Games

The Hoyas had two reverses over the week, dropping a heart-breaker to St. Francis of Loretta, 85-79, and losing to Penn State by a walloping 83 to 55 score. The upset by St. Francis was a toe-to-toe battle all the way with St. Francis garnering a decisive lead in the latter part of the fourth quarter and holding it until the final whistle. The Nitany Lions broke three records in humbling the O’Gradyment on their home court.

ST FRANCIS OF LORETTA

Bill Bolger scored ten of his 16

pcints on four field goals and two

fouls to lead the Hoyas to a 21-14

first quarter margin. St. Francis

showed little spark and from all

appearances did not look as if they would give the Hoyas too much

trouble. However, the St. Francis

boys caught fire in the second quar-

ter and outscored the erratic Hoyas

by nine points to leave the floor

at half-time with a neat 43-43 tie.

The third quarter was as close

| as anyone could want it. The Hoyas

|came out on the long end of a 62-

60 score but had to fight off the staves of an upset-minded oppon-

ent all the way to maintain it.

Barry Sullivan, Bob Makatura

and Lou Gigante all fouled out in

the fourth quarter. This came as

a hard blow to the Hoyas for the

middle of their scoring punch was

torn badly with their loss.

The 24 points garnered by Stokes

was high for the night for both

teams while Bill Bolger’'s 16 was

the best for the well-balanced Hoya

scoring attack.

PENN STATE

The Nitany Lions had a field day,

at the expense of the Hoyas, break-

ing three records in the process.

Jesse Arnelle, 6-5 center who came

to Penn State on a track scholar-

ship, amassed 40 points to break

the all-time individual scoring rec-

crd at Recreation Hall. Formerly,

the record was 32 points. By win-

ning their thirteenth straight game,

the Lions broke the old 12 game

win streak and the third record

came in the way of the team high

score at Rec Hall of 85 points.

The tight zone defense of Penn

State, considered as one of the

best in the nation, bottled the Ho-

yas around the key forcing the

O’Grady cagers to fire from out-

side.

State out-gunned the Hoyas from

the start, jumping to a 9-2 lead

and, then, continued to pour it on

until the never-doubted end.

The only bright note in the sec-

ond half was the set shots of sub-

stitute Bob Stuhr who hit for four

fine goals outside of the reach of

the close-guarding State zone de-

fense. Otherwise, it was all Jesse

Arnelle and Co. with everybody in

the over-crowded house pulling for

Arnelle to crack the individual

scoring record.

one in the Canisius game. The

Hoyas turned a tie score into a 13

point lead by half time, and then

played on just about even terms

with the Griffins in the second half

to win the game 75-67.

Barry Sullivan and Denny Mur-

phy played stand out ball in the

Canisius encounter,” but it was a-

gain the amazing Bill Bolger who

dominated the play. Bolger hit on

10 shots out of 18 attempts, led

the rebounders of both teams with

18, and was credited with four as-

sists. It was the second night in

a row that Bolger scored 21 points.

Thursday, February 14, 1952 THE HOYA Page Seven

N Currant Events

by Paul Curran

This column wishes as its first official pronouncement to

thank former Sports Editors Charlie Steele, Ed O’Neill and

Denny Scott for the confidence which they have placed in the

new Sports Department and for the great help and advice

which they have given me. The Sports Department will en- deavor to do its best to carry on the excellent quality of work which

the Department’s more experienced predecessors have established.

DETROIT AND DAYTON It was this writer’s privilege to accompany the basketball team on

the trip which saw Georgetown play Detroit, Dayton and the University

of Pittsburgh. Seldom before has the squad looked so good in three

successive games. The Detroit game was the biggest steal since last

year’s game. The high school referees were either entirely incompetent

or else direct descendants of Jesse and Frank James. In spite of the

officiating, Georgetown outplayed the U. of D. “Titans” for most of

the way, in a game which was Georgetown’s except for the all-important

final score. Dayton was another story. This game was by far Georgetown’s best

effort of the season and one of which we have no reason to be ashamed.

The final score was 80 to 74 in favor of Dayton, but Georgetown

played superb basketball against one of the best college basketball

teams which this writer has ever seen. Our fast break was working

beautifully, as was also the regular pattern of play. Bolger was never

better in the bucket. Bill hit for 25 points. The evening preceding this

game the local Georgetown alumni had a party for the team at the

Dayton Country Club. They really went all out to make Georgetown

feel at home. The Dayton newspapers had nothing but praise for the Hoya squad the day after the game. This is something with which

the local Washington newspapers rarely favor us, and from which they

might well draw a lesson.

FAVORITISM? While on the subject of local newspapers and Georgetown’s athletic

team, it might be poined out that the manner in which the Washington

Post covered last week’s track meet in Baltimore was little short of

atrocious. It seems that Post “reporter” Herb Heft was conveyed to the meet in the Georgetown bus and was returned almost to his front

door in the same vehicle. To show his gratitude, Mr. Heft in the write-

up of the meet made much of the fact that Georgetown’s half-miler Joe

LaPierre was defeated by Tyson Creamer of Maryland in the Blue and

Gray Half Mile. This fact was headlined in the Washington Post, al-

thought the winner’s time was a rather slow 1:55.7. Very little mention

was made by Mr. Heft of the fact that Georgetown’s Carl Joyce won the

mile run going away in the fast time of 4:15.9, and also that Racely

Saunders set a meet record in copping the Collegiate 1000-Yard Run in 2:17. Both of these times are excellent for a flat track, Apparently Mr.

Heft was more impressed by the Terrapins blazing time of 8:03.3 in the

two mile relay. After all, this is only 14 seconds slower than George-

town’s slowest time of the season for this same event. This column would like to point out that Joe LaPierre has run 1:52

and 1:53 half-miles on innumerable occasions. He has proven his ability

time and again, and although it is a fact that LaPierre was beaten by

Creamer, it is also a fact that LaPierre was out of his element on the

flat armory track. It is this column’s firm belief that if LaPierre and

Creamer ever compete on a regulation banked track, Tyson will do

well to be within 20 yards of Joe after a half-mile. The important meets

will not be run on flat tracks; and even thoroughbreds like Joe LaPierre

can’t win every race. Mr. Heft actually passed over the victories of Joyce and Saunders

While accentuating Maryland’s less brilliant times. Definite favoritism

was exhibited. Hardly sporting, Herbie! After all, we did transport you

to and from Baltimore.

RANDOM NOTES Politics is something which this writer is not at all familiar. However,

I cannot help but feel that if the Grand Old Party can do to the Demo-

crats at the polls next November what they did to the basketball floor

of McDonough Memorial Gymnasium ten days ago, there will certainly

be a change of administration in 1953. To become great, a basketball team now and then has to get what

are called “the breaks.” If ever there was a hard luck team, this year’s

Georgetown squad is it. Other teams always manage to get hot against

us. Fordham in our last game, G. W. and St. Francis are all out-

standing examples of this. It happens almost every time. “The breaks”

just never seem to come our way. Sometimes it almost seems that fate

is against us and Lady Luck refuses to intervene. However, such bad

luck, and I assure you that many of this season’s losses are a result of

just that, cannot continue indefinitely. It is this column’s belief that

the day is not far off when the Georgetown Hoyas will come out of the

basketball wilderness into which a series of “bad breaks” has helped

throw them. There is a great deal of truth in the statement that it is

always darkest before the dawn.

Open Letter

To Buddy O'Grady This is an open letter to

you, Buddy O’Grady, to say “Thank You,” and ‘‘we are sorry.” Thank you for giving G. U. everything you’ve had. Thank you for doing all the things

you’ve done, which were beyond

what could ever be expected of a

coach; for going all the way to Cali-

fornia on your own expenses to try

to strengthen the team; thank you

for making the Hoyas a team with

class at all times, for making them

run off that court at game’s end,

win or lose; thank you for at all

times being a credit to Georgetown.

We are sorry. We are sorry that

everyone, without reason, expected

the present team to be a real world

beater, thus putting great presure

on the coach; we are sorry that the

present way of thinking in the

world of sports is to blame the

manager or coach for loses, espe-

cially since the present team has

never proven itself as good as their

freshman press notices. This is not

said to detract from a fine group

of athletes who may yet hit their

hoped for stride, but as a matter

of fact; we are sorry that you are

leaving, Buddy, because you as a

coach, or as a person, give to

Georgetown hat Georgetown needs

and can be proud of.

We wish you the best of luck in

the future and God’s blessing al-

ways. We hope you wont become

a stranger to Georgetown. We wish

the best of luck to your successor.

We hope he instills in the team

proper values, proper motives and a keen sense of sportsmanship. We

hope the team always fights their

hardest for the new coach. We

hope your successor fights for his

players, and will make Georgetown

proud of him. We hope next year’s

coach, in other words, has true class. Because if he doesn’t, he wont

live up to his predecessor.

Lacrosse Team Shapes Up

Georgetown’s stickmen, veterans of one season in intercollegiate competition, open practice Monday, Feb. 25. A hopeful squad of approximately thirty-five is expected to ans-

wer the call. From this group, after

selective tryouts, about 25 men will

be held as a varsity squad. Every-

one is welcome and even urged to

try his hand at ‘“Amercia’s first

game.” The only prerequisites are

two good legs, a barrel of wind, and

a little of that better known ocm-

modity, guts.

The opening practices, concen-

trating on fundamentals and exer-

cises will be held on the hard sur-

face tennis court. This is necessary

because of adverse weather condi-

tions and consequent muddy fields.

However, it affords an excellent

opportunity to acquire the use of

the stick before scrimmages begin

on the upper field about the fifth

of March. All scrimmages will be

played under game conditions and

high-lighted weekly by a Wednes-

day ‘game scrimmage” with out-

side teams in the area.

Returning this season, veterans

of last year’s and prep school competition, are: at attack, Bagliani,

Fritz, Hagen and Daly; at midfield,

Bradley, White, Ramish and Pag-

luca; at defense, Sulkins, Windish,

Slowey and Shwinler; in goal, Stack

and Cohan. A lot will be expected

of these men as well as of the

others on this year’s squad.

a. With the advent of a new and

far better intramural policy, the

Hoya sports’ staff felt the need

for a new and far better intra-

mural news coverage. As one can

readily see, a writer of reputable

ability had to be chosen. The trail

ended at Healy Tower where the

author was trapped while referee-

ing a boxing match between G.U.

and Visitation. Enough about the

origin of this column; now for the

contents.

As you all know, the intramural

basketball league is divided into

two parts, the Fast League and the

Slow League. This division was

made in order to allow teams with

little experience to play others

teams in the same category, rather

than play a team made up of form-

er high-school players. The score

of one of these mismatches last

year was 68 to 3. It was obvious

that something had to be done to

kssure a reasonable amount of fair-

ness to all teams. Thus Mr. Mur-

tagh and Fr. Michelman conceived

the present two-league system.

Entries came in fast and furious.

Decisions had to be made as to what league each team belonged

in and the final tabulation revealed 17 teams in the Fast League and

27 in the Slow League. Everyone

anxiously awaited opening tap-up.

The beginning of a new era in

Georgetown intramurals.

FAST LEAGUE FACTS The Fast League drew some fam-

iliar names in the Nicotine Nine,

the Leo Rocca’s, .Riptide, Words,

Words, Words (formerly The Mom-

mies Boys), the Belevederes and

the Scroungers.

The first week of play saw Bob

McGiff’s The Mob beat Joker A. C.

46-24, and Semang trounce Ang Batos 61-18. Other games before

exams saw the Atom Bums beat the

Pikers 35-23, the 3-Words edge out

Riptide A. C. 26-25, last year’s

champs, the Belevederes, squelch

the Foreign Service Fonies 57-25,

the Nicotine Nine beat Joker A. C.

43-33, and the Inorgs beat the Pik-

ers 51-30.

CROWLEY HOT Tom “Crazy-legs” Crowley of the

Riptide A. C. thus far is leading

the league in scoring. Tom has net-

ted 21, 12, 10 and 16 points re-

spectively, and is expected to lead

his club into the playoffs. In the

first game of the second semester,

Scotton Squabbles

by Dave Scotton

the Nicotine Nine overwhelmed

the Pikers 59-16 with a brilliant display of fast breaks, along with

the sharp eyes of Charlie Bohle

and Jack Leonard. The Semang, an

all-Freshman team, eked out a 35 to 21 victory over the ‘“never-say-

die” Leo Rocca’s. The Words,

Words, Words captured their fourth straight victory by trounc-

ing the previously undefeated Mob

38-19. Jim Quigley’s hook shot

from the circle will never be for-

gotten. The Riptide won two, the

first to the sorrow of the Atom Bums 40-35, and the second over

the Foreign Service Fonies 39-25.

Two of the highly touted teams

were victims of forfeits. The Bel- vederes and the Jiggers failed to

show in games'with the Inorgs and Joker A. C., the latter teams gaining a win.

SLOW LEAGUE SLOP The Slow League began with

a flock of upsets. Unheard-of teams

and players stepped onto the hard-

wood and calmy proceeded to

knock off the top seeded quintets.

The first of these was the Ramblers

victory over the Squires, 43-31.

Led by Joe Mascaro, the Ramblers

came from behind and poured on

the steam in the final quarter to

walk away with the contest. The

Fallen Idols, led by Clem Reiger,

and ‘“Punchy” Paglucia, downed

the Daisies 48-40. Other games

that week found the Half Safes

beating Dohony’s Phonies, 42-40, Deluge A. C. turning back the Dix-

ie Dawg A. C. 19-17, and Ang Batos

topping the Dukes 42-30.

After the vacation, it was plain to see what teams held the power

in the league. The Los Panchos

battled the Fallen Idols to win in

the final minutes 39-33. Once again

Clem Reiger took game honors with

21 points, followed by Bill Preston

bagging 17 for the winners. The

non - frustrated Frustrated Five

trounced the Wazoos 47-13 to lead the league with four wins. Bron

McNeirney and Ed Novak led the victors while Cootie Connors dump-

ed in 4 to set the pace for the van-

quished. The Deluge A.C. beat the Dukes 24-15, the Doogie Five top-

ped the Juicy Fruits 27-24, the Ang

Batos beat the Chouse Diplomats

in an overtime contest 28-24, the

Hairy Horde clobbered Dohony’s

Phonies 32-15, and the Daisies up-

set the Firehouse Five and Five

48-43.

Ram Second Half Spurt Downs Hoyas Again

Riding the crest of a three game winning streak, the Georgetown basketball team invaded New York on Satur- day, February 2, to do battle with the Fordham Rams. This marked the second time the two teams faced each other this season. Fordham had defeated Georgetown December 7, by the score of 57 to 50, here in McDonough Memorial Gym- nasium. The second game was played in the Rose Hill gymnasium before an S.R.O. crowd of some 4000 fans.

Fordham displayed an uncanny

exhibition of shotmaking through-

out the entire game. Led by their

6 ft. 8 inch center Bill Carlson,

team Captain Fred Christ and Ed

Parchinski, the Rams were vir-

tually unbeatable and at the end

of the first period of play they en-

joyed a 7 point lead, 27-20.

In the second quarter, George-

town managed to pull within five

points of the Rams, and at the

intermission it was 37 to 32 in

favor of Fordham. The Hoyas must

be given credit for even managing

to keep within striking distance,

because Fordham’s shooting per-

centage for the first twenty min-

utes of play was well over 50 per-

cent.

The third period saw both ball

clubs exchange baskets on even

terms. For Georgetown, Barry

Sullivan had 9 points in 10 minutes,

and Parchinski led Fordham with

8. The quarter score was 56-50. It was in the final period that the Rams began to pour it on with

their truly amazing demonstration

of shooting. It was Fordham’s hot- test night, percentage wise, of the

season. They broke the backs of

the never say die Georgetown

quintet with a 14 point barrage

while holding the Hoyas to 8. The

final score was 70 to 58 in favor

of Fordham. High scorer was Bill

Carlson of Fordham, who hit for

22 points. His teammate Ed Parch-

inski netted 18. Leading the Geo-

rgetown offensive were Barry Sul-

livan with 19, Bill Bolger with 15

and Hugh Beins with 12.

LaPierre, Joyce Star In Boston Meets

Since the last edition of THE HOYA, the men of Frank Sevigne have made two trips to Boston. On both occasions they made their customary fine showings.

Their first appearance in the Hub was in the Boston K. of C. Meet on Saturday, January 19, and the most memorable performance from a George- town standpoint was the 4:11.2 mile turned in by Bos- ton’s own Joe LaPierre. Mak- ing his debut in the mile for this indoor season, Joe was pit-

ted against Don Gehrmann and

Fred Wilt. LaPierre led field for

almost three-quarters of the race,

before giving up the lead to Wilt,

and wound up a flashy fourth.

However, his performance must be

considered brilliant in view of the

fact that he was making his first

individual appearence of the year.

Joe impressed the Millrose of-

Carl Joyce

ficials too, for they extended an

invitation to him to compete in

the mabed Wanamaker Mile the

following Saturday. Unfortunately,

Joe had to turn down this bid.

In the same meet, the one mile

relay team of Vin Kelly, Dave Bo-

land, Don Stonehouse and Carl

Joyce ran fourth in a very close

race won by Villanova. The Hoyas were only 8 yards behind at the

finish.

JOYCE TRIUMPHS Two weeks later, New England

track fans were talking about an-

other Georgetown runner. Carl

Joyce, the strong boy from Bean-

town, really went to town in front

of his Boston admirers at the B. A. A. Games. He successfully de-

fended his title in the Lapham

1000-Yard Run by handing Millrose

880-yard winner, Roscoe Browne,

his initial loss of the season in the

time of 2:14.2. Joyce's margin of

victory was only four feet, and for-

mer Hoya, Ray Wheiler, of Villi-

nova, ran third.

RELAYERS DO 7:44.9 Carl was laso a vital factor in

preserving the 2-mile relay’s un-

blemished record. The Hoya four-

some, comprised of Bill Clark,

substituitng for the iniured Voor-

hees, Boland, Joyce and LaPierre,

was running second when Joyce re-

ceived the baton. Carl's great leg,

and an even faster one by LaPierre,

enabled Georgetown to win over

Princetown in the time of 7:44.9,

the fastest 2-mile relay yet run this

winter.

The little Hilltop ace, Charlie

Capozzoli, placed third in the 2-

Mile Run behind winner Curtis

Stone and FBI sleuth Horace Ash-

enfelter. Stone’s time was a scorch-

ing 9:00.6, while Capozzoli was

clocked in 9:11.8.

By virtue of his outstanding per-

formances, Carl Joyce was voted

this record the team failed to live

up to pre-season expectations.

At the present writing, this

year’s quintet boasts a .500 record

of 9 wins and 9 losses. However,

there is no reason to believe that

a winning season will not be en-

joyed. Thus, up to this date, the

Georgetown varsity basketball

squad under Buddy O’Grady tute-

lage has compiled an overall rec-

ord of 29 victories and 35 losses.

At first glance, it might be judged

that this is a poor record for any

coach. However, when all the cir-

cumstances are brought to light a

vastly different conclusion will be

arrived at.

The true value of a coach can-

not be summed up by a cursory

glance at records. Many other fac-

tors must be considered.

Buddy O’Grady instilled in G.U. teams the same spirit and indomi-

table will to win with which he is

endowed. Moreover, he taught the

Hoyas everything that can be

taught about the game of basket-

ball, in both its offensive and de-

fensive aspects. No coach could do

more for a team than O'Grady has

done for the present Georgetown squad.

Buddy O’Grady is an inspiring

leader, greatly respected by all

Routs The Jay-Vees had a success-

ful week on the hardwood winning over Bullis Prep, 72- 61, Tuesday afternoon and then soundly trouncing Mont- gomery Junior College two nights

later by a 92 to 63 score. Big John

Vail had a 51 point total for the

two tilts collecting 25 against Bul-

lis Prep and 26 in the Montgomery

Junior College tilt. BULLIS PREP

In the initial game of the week,

the Hoya Juniors clipped Bullis

Prep by 11 points. The Jay-Vees

led all the way by a non-too-com-

fortable margin, getting their big-

gest score in the later part of the

fourth quarter when Bullis cut

their lead to four points. However,

the Hoyas came back on three fiield

goals and a foul to kick the spread

back up to a final 11 points. Tippy

Larkin played a tremendous floor

game holding the team together over the rough spots.

Jack Vail tied with Carden, hook

shooting Bullis center, for high in-

dividual scoring honors for the

night each collecting a bulging 25

point total. Neil Conway connected

for 16 points to come in second

high in the Hoya scoring.

Backboard control proved a big

asset in the victory. The Hoyas had

little difficulty against the smaller

Bullis Prep cagers. MONTGOMERY JR. COLLEGE

The Hoyas held Montgomery

scoreless for the first three min-

utes of the game meanwhile col-

lecting six points for themselves on

field goals by Storz, Vail and Car- roll before Collins, Montgomery’s

husky center, pumped in two to

start the scoring for the Montgom-

eryites. The Jay-Vees easily pulled

away from a less organized op-

ponent to a 43-32 lead by the end

of the first half.

With their fast break working

smoothly, the Hoya Juniors fre-

quently caught Montgomery's zone

defense off guard, particularly in

the third quarter wherein the Jay-

Vees increased their lead to 23

points. The game was marked by the

fine shooting of Billy Wolfer and

Jack Vail who hit with remarkable

regularlity for 27 and 26 points, re-

specitvely. Bill Wolfer combined

his talents of good shooting and

fine floor play to become the regu-

lating cog and spark in the Juniors

line-up. He left the game with 4:15

remaining to be played under a

strong ovation of applause by an

appreciative crowd. Francis was

high for Montgomery with 15 mark-

ers. The GU Juniors controlled the

backboards from the start of the

game although Montgomery floor-

equal height with the Hoyas.

nity An even greater tribute to

his ability is the respect and ad- miration with which he is regarded

by all his players. One of George-

town’s greatest assets will depart

with Buddy O’Grady. She will lose

an athlete and a leader, who has

always stood out as the prototype

of a Georgetown gentleman.

In Baltimore Meet | Coach Frank Sevigne entered 13 men in the 175th Regi- .

ment - South. Atlantic Association Games last Wednesday night in Baltimore, in a range of 9 events. The Blue and | Gray was conspicuous by the.running quality of the men who wore her colors, and the crowd gave the Hoyas their de- | served applause. All the G.U. entries were individuals; nei- ther the mile nor the 2-mile relay team was entered in this meet.

Ray Brophy and Jack Zinckgraf,

runing the 60-Yard High Hurdles

both placed second in their heats,

and then in the final of the event

registered fourth and fifth in the

above order. Don Stonehouse

dropped down from his usual

quarter mile to compete in the 60-

Yard Dash, but a lack of practice

at this distance caused him to bow

out after failing to place in the

heat. Dave Boland, facing George

Rhoden in the Black and Orange

600, ran third throughout the

course of the race and finished in

the same place, 15 yards behind

the powerful Morgan State runner.

Vin Kelly, in the Collegiate 600,

held third place for most of the

race, but faded at the end to finish

last in his heat. Ray Dongelewicz,

entered in the second heat of the

same event, moved along in second

place until the gun lap, when he

fell off the pace and dropped to

last for the finish. Charlie Craig,

having his first go at the shot put

thus far this season, managed to

pull down a fourth place with a

39 foot 5 inch heave. Tom Flaherty,

entered on a wing and with a pray-

er in the high jump, left the ranks

of the contenders at 5 feet 6 inches.

Bill Clark and Ed Kirk, running

together in the second heat of the

Collegiate 1000, finished in second

and fourth place respectively, the

former in 2:29.4.

Joe LaPierre’s attempt to defend his title in the half mile brought

only a half measure of success.

Breaking second, Joe moved into |

first place during the first lap,

dropped to second again at the ©

quarter mark, then back to first after the next hundred yards.

There he stayed till Tyson Cream- er of Marylind overtook and out- |

distanced him, going into the final (« turn, to win in 1:55.7.

However, the best was saved to |

the end. Racely Saunders, running |"

a smart race, was able to capture

the Collegiate 1000 in 2:17.0, for a new meet record. Saunders hung in second place during the entire distance, behind Maryland's Al ¢

Buehler, then beat him by a yard

on his stronger kick at the tape.

Likewise, when Carl Joyce and ° Charlie Capozzoli lined up toget-

her in the National Mile Run, =

against Browning Ross, Curt Stone

and Ronald Haynes, the field was | prepared for the battle of the night.

Joyce broke in front and Capozzoli

took over at the one lap mark,

where he remained till Joyce

politely took it back from him just

before the half-way point was pass-

ed in 2:09.7. Thereupon Haynes of

Navy made his bid, and, gaining

the first position, stayed there un-

til Joyce charged in front of him

with a half-lap to go, gradually

lengthenen his lead to 15 yards,

and finished a strong first in 4:15.9. |

Capozzoli, for his part, found the

pace too hot and finished last.

The public press to the con- trary, Georgetown runners turned

in some excellent preformances. |

Saunder’s and Joyce's wins were

objectively more impressively than

the vaunted Creamer victory over

LaPierre, as the cheering of the non-partisan crowd testified. They

recognized champions. ‘

Hoopsters Whip Pitt Lose To Detroit, Dayton On Monday evening, January 21, while most residents of the

Hilltop were engrossed in a stiff exam schedule, the George- town basketball team went west for a three game road trip with encounters against the University of Detroit, Dayton U. and Pittsburgh.

The first stop was Detroit where on Tuesday, January 22, the Hoyas were defeated by an overrated Detroit quintet by the score of 80 to 74. The game, played in the Detroit

U. High School gymnasium was

very similar to the Gannon affair

of last season in that the two ref-

erees were of the high school va-

riety. Their conduct throughout the

entire game was definitely pro-

Detroit and anti-Georgetown.

The game reached farcial pro- portions in the fourth quarter when

after Georgetown held a 15 point

lead late into the third period, four

of the five Hoya starters as well

as Lou Gigante were put out of

the game because of personal fouls.

The four ejected were Bill Bolger,

Hugh Beins, Barry Sullivan and

Denny Murphy.

Although the refereeing was not of the highest caliber, Georgetown

could still have won had she not

crumbled in the fourth quarter.

However, the fact that Detroit cag-

ed 60% of its second half shots contributed greatly to the Hoyas’

downfall.

The first three quarters were

all Georgetown, with Bolger, Sul-

livan and Co. holding a halftime

lead of 12 points. However, the

second half saw Detroit whittle

away at the Georgetown lead, and,

with about five minutes remaining

in the game, the Titans forged ¥ ahead of the Hoyas to win by 6

points. J

Two evenings later, on Thursday,

January 24, Dayton U. played host .

to the Hoyas before a capacity

crowd of 5500 partisan fans. This |

was undoubtedly Georgetown’s

best basketball effort of the 1951-52

season. Dayton, presently ranked ¢*

eleventh nationally, got off to a

quick lead and at halftime the

Ohioans enjoyed a 43-31 lead. In

the second half Georgetown prov-

ed the superior team, but after t

coming within a point of tying the

score at 69-68, the Hoyas wilted &¢

under the force of a Dayton rally |

to lose 80-74. :

Saturday evening, January 26, the Hoyas engaged Doc Carlson’s

Pitt Panther in the University of ° Pittsburgh Field House. Pitt, un-

able to crack the zone defense «

thrown up by the Blue and Gray, was defeated handily. The final |,

score was 74-59. Georgetown, paced ’

by Bolger and Sullivan completely

outclassed a Pitt team, which was |

unable to cope with our fast break.

The Hoyas split Pittsburgh’s zone,

defense wide open from the game's

outset, and after three quarters

had passed there was little hope ‘

for the Panther’s chances.
