For on - -
thing, the Vio- George A. simpson
let's will not be playing under
the strain of endeavoring to pre-
serve a winning streak. They
had collected 81 straight victories
over period of two years and,
though not exactly cheerful over
having their record broken, they
should find some crumbs of COM
fort in the fact that they will
be free of tension. That's not
only bad news for Georgetown
but also for Navy whom the Vio-
lets meet tomorrow afternoon at
Annapolis at 2::30 o'clock.
Until the setback administered
by Yale. the Violets had gone
undefeated since losing to City
College of New York, 38-23, on
February Is, 1888.
Long Lay-Off Blamed
Despite the fact that Yale's
home basketball record has been
dull Georgetown beat the Ellis
32-29 at New Haven, Conn.,.
New York us defeat might be
blamed on long lay-off occa'
stoned by the midyear examlna-
tions. Two weeks had intervened
between their last game and the
Yale engagement and inactivity
induces sluggishness.
The preliminary contest be-
tween Eastern High and the u1l-
beaten Georgetown Freshmen,
starting at 7:30 o'clock, should be
worthwhile. A local Schoolboy
flavor attaches to this game, as
several members of the G. U. Cubs
are graduates of schools in this
area. Especially will the game
be interesting to Harry Bassin and
Tony Nolan, former Eastern luml-
naries, now performing for the
Hilltop yearlings.
