Hot Hoya Five Bidding For National Rating; Colonials Step Fast By Merrell Whittlesey Georgetown’s basket ball coach, Elmer Ripley, Is going to throw away his cane If the Hoyas have any more weeks like last week throw it away and get crutches. He’ll need them. The Hoyas beat Denver, Loyola of Chicago and St. John’s. Two of the three games went Into overtime, the Hoyas trailed a number of times In all three games and in their two Washington appearances they couldn’t get started In the first half. Yet Is was an extremely profit able week for Georgetown In Its bid for national ranking. It defeated two Western representatives mak ing the Eastern swing, and won a third game In Madison Square Gar den. It’s second victim, Loyola of Chicago, bounced back to beat Syra cuse by 18 points Saturday night1 for Its ninth victory against a de feat by Georgetown. The Hoyas led a charmed week from the officials' point of view, both at home and on the road. In the three games 95 fouls were called against Georgetown opponents and only 58 against the Hoyas, and that didn’t hurt. Great Week for Koetecka. It also was a great week for Andy Kostecka. The unpredictable Andy scored 68 points In three games for a 22.7 average and he was playing against top-flight opposition all the way. He also played without sub stitution. According to Joe Sheehan In the New York Times, the first half of the Georgetown-St. John’s game in the Garden produced the best basket ball of the season—and Georgetown is capable of just that. Most of their long, rugged schedule is ahead, however, and the Hoyas hardly will receive as many breaks again as they received last week. Georgetown cannot afford to loaf i tomorrow night in its next game—'■ against the Quanttco Marines at Catholic U. The Marines will have Andy Zimmer, former all-America from Indiana, who did not play against George Washington and Long Island in the Marines’ only, ^" 11 ^ J defeats in ll games to date, me ‘ , Hoyas should not have too much ( trouble Friday and Saturday, how- * evdr, against a pair of comparatively 1 weak Southern Conference oppo nents. V. P. I. and Richmond. I Colonials Getting Along. I* Hie District has another unbeaten b combination in George Washington, ;c which owns a five-game streak, but e Coach Art Zahn probably will be the t: first to admit that the Colonials op position has been weak in three of 1 the fivg games. In the other two, 4 G.W, beat Quantico by two points ;1 and its victory over Virginia took ■ on added stature when the Cavaliers ’ thumped Duke by 10 points Satur- I day night. 11 American University has shown I - the unenviable knack of losing the * close ones in its three starts against ! really big-time opposition. No team 1 ■ in this section has played three op- i ponents as tough as C.C.N.Y., Muh- 1 lenberg and Connecticut, however. ' Connecticut won its 16th straight v over a two-season span by beating i Brown on Saturday. With Pete Neg- ' ley about 12 pounds lighter and fast 1 rounding into shape, and Reggie 1 Crockett having found his hook-shot eye, the Eagles still have a chance to avenge two of their three defeats. Terps to Bolster Squad. Maryland had little to cheer about after its opening games—a victory over Western Maryland and defeat by Loyola of Baltimore, but Coach Flucie Stewart said the Terps would be a little late arriving and after the four football players who belong on the- court squad turn up the Terps may be tougher. Coach Gene Augusterfer at C. TJ. also is looking to the future after his team’s first two games in which it defeated Gallaudet and lost to Loyola of Baltimore. The Cards step out of the conference Wednes day against Navy in their only non conference game, but after that the j picture gets rosier. Incidentally, how about this for an all-December 7-13 opponents j team that appeared here last week: Lou Alterman and Ken Jastrow of J Denver, Jim Kerris of Loyola of 5 Chicago, Harry Donovan of Muh- - lenberg and Jim Lacy of Loyola of Baltimore. _ Ten ytan ago—Two freshman proa Sammy Baugh of Waihington and Gayntil Tiniley of Chicago Cardinal!, were named by coaches to aU-atar Na tlonal Football League team^j A Christmas (Sift Jfar $mir Carl CUSTOM TAILORED AUTO SEAT COVERS .

Wisconsin Flash New Threat In Star-AAU Sprints Jan. 3 dick Houden of the university of Wisconsin, who probably will be the Westernmost entry in The Evening Star-AAU Games to be held at the Armory January 3, will be a definite threat in the sprint series, including the newly added 80-yard dash. Houden filed his entry yester day along with a list of his achievements, and Meet Director Dorsey Griffith also found Houden’s name scattered through the record books. The Wiscon sin flash has run 70 yards in 7 seconds flat, a world mark he holds with Loren Murchison and Ralph Metcalf. The 80-yard dash is a rare event and the world record of 8 seconds was set by Wendell Baker in Boston in 1886.

When A1 Lawler of South Texas Teachers set -a new Na tional Junior A.A.U. 100-meter record in 10.3, Lorenzo Wright of Wayne was second, a half step behind and Houden also was in the photo finish, in third place. In the National AAU senior, Houden was fourth in the event won by Mathis, the former Car dozo ace now running for the University of Illinois. Mathis was one of the first to enter The Star meet.

The schools are too small to field gridiron teams. Priory tried it last year with near disastrous results and from now un til conditions warrant a change the accent will be on basket ball. “The school will be enlarged eventually,” says Director of Ath letics Fattier Hugh Monmonier, “and then we can start thinking about football.” • Spirit at both schools is high, par ticularly at St. Anthony's where lack of a gymnasium requires extra efTort by all members of the squad. Hold Practice^Outdoors. Under the guidance of Coach Lou Pettey, former Tech High School athlete, St. Anthony’s quint began practice in the school’s back yard, which Assistant Director of Ath letics Father John Bailey describes as "just dirt with a couple of baskets added.” "We had a good team last year,” Father Bailey points out, “but couldn't get enough practice. We’re using me mtmci noys uiud court a couple of days a week and expect to hold some evening practices at St. John’s.” Team spirit at Priory also is keen. Coach Bob Dwyer says that out of 69 boys attending the school, ap proximately 40 are playing basket ball for either the freshmen, junior or senior teams. “We should have a fair club,” says Dwyer. "I think the only game in which we’ll be reaching over our I heads ds that with St. John’s. At 'least I believe we’ll win more than ! we’ll lose, which will be a great im j provement over last year.” Last season. Priory’s first in the court game, the school won only four of 13 games. “We have three boys back from last year’s squad,” Dwyer says. “We have George MacDonald at center and Guard Joe Hayden. MacDonald plays a good game at the pivot spot, while Hayden, who shoots both one and two-handed, so far is our high scorer with 39 points in four tilts. "Then we have Jack Duchesne at guard. We’re alternating our for wards with Clancy Beard, Charley Pahy, Jack Cahill and Joe Clancy all seeing plenty of action.” Priory opened the season with a ;/y< vw/r///'.' * •.•.trr.ypr ■■■•■ -.-rye. ■terfrtry For Juno PorformtMO in* ’l Doetmbor—6ivo It Now LHo • I "*** v'5» ov, uuiui uc mauia of Hyattsville, then went on to down Bell Vocational, Blair and Sherwood.
