1t was a very disastrous trip that the
Georgetown team made North-defeat
ed in every game. This does not speak
well for the management of the team
or the man in charge of making up
the schedule. These trips are all right
but for what reason was a trip ar
ranged that would take the team away
and line it up against such strong
teams as they have up North so early
in the season?
Georgetown played but two games
on its home floor before attempting TO
go North and defeat such teams as
New York University. ST. Johns Col
lege, Of Brooklyn and others which
have very high ranking in the North
ern collegiate circles. Being defeated
in every game came as no surprise, as
