INHOLIDAY CLASH
WITHTHEUSAAC
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Bob Zuger, Georgetown's sturdy
guard, will not be able to face the
Usaacs Thursday at American
League Park. This announcement
was made today by Physical Director
John D. o'Reilly, and there is cor
responding gloom at the Hilltop, for
Zuger was expected to put up q
whale of a game against the Bsaacs'
star forwards.
Pat, Finnegan, the tail freshman
from HayerhiII, Mass, viii start at
left ~uard, facing Captain 0'Don-
nell, former Susquehanna University
guard. Finnegan is going TO make
Georgetown's cohorts forget Zuger,
II he has his way.
Zuger suffered a broken nose in
the Lehigh game, but that rapidly
healed and would not have kept him
on the sidelines. In addition, he was
mauled badly about the thighs, de-
veloping a charleyhorse that has
stubbornly resisted al treatment. 1t
kept him out of the Navy and Wash
ington and Lee contests and now pre-
vents his playing against the Usaacs.
