Georgetown has not been defeated
thus far this season and has a
straight-string record Of ten games.
Judging their opponents on the COM
ing trip on their past form it is
hardly likely that the Hilltoppers
will be defeated on the Quaker
Jaunt as they appear to have the
edge on any Of the quints against
which they are to battle.
The Panthers appear to be the
only team which has more than just
a chance against the Blue and Gray.

Pitt by ten points and then came
here to be defeated by Georgetown

an easy affair for the Buff and Blue

into a real battle with the Virgin
