In one Of the widest and fastest
basket ball games played here in many
years, University of Virginia last night
sent Catholic University down to its
first defeat of the year. after 10 con-
Secutive victories by - to 81. From
the first whistle until Harvey shot a
goal from foul line Just as time was up,
the teams went after each other hard
and fast. and not even for the space OF
10 seconds was there let-up.

goals in from the foul line and brought
the count to 81 TO 20. With their team

the ball in for another point. Just as

II was a hard defeat too. because In
the last two minutes Foley and Long
each missed a goal that was so close
that the ball trimmed the basket twice
before dropping outside. But, for that
