w YHAT may develop into one
NH OF WaShington's best COL
w legiate basket ball games
of the season is scheduled
for Tech Highs gym tomorrow night,
when Pittsburgh brings its current
leaders Of the Eastern intercollegiate
Conference to town for a game with
Georgetown's luckless, but not hope
less, Hoyas.
Despite the fact that they ended
the regular conference race last sea
son in a tie for first place with Car
negie Tech, only to lose the title to
the Skiboes in play-off, Pittsburgh
received two Of its toughest fights
from Georgetown and was beaten once
by the Hoyas, in an overtime thriller
here.
Memories Of that game, in which
G. U. nearly gave a packed gym heart
failure before winning, 43-42, should
draw another crowd to Tech tomorrow.
Still Has Confidence.
A THOUGH defeated in all three
- of its conference starts, all of
them played away from home. Coach
Freddy Mesmer has not yet given up
hope Of Georgetown as a winning
team. II his team can win all of its
home conference games-from Pitt,
West Virginia, Carnegie Tech, Temple
and Penn State-and bag its two re-
naming tllts on the road it will be
found in the running for the '36 title.
1t is Mesmer's opinion that no team
will escape with less than three de-
fests. Georgetown won three of its
five home games last Winter, Temple
nosing it out by point in one of the
two setbacks and Caregie Tech win
ming by 6 points in the other.
Although Georgetown has not won
a game since beating N. Y. U. on
December 80, the team has been play
ing well, working the ball down the
floor under the basket for shots which
Just didn't come. None Of the Hill
toppers' defeats has come by more
than 9 points, however, Carnegie
Tech winning by 8, West Virginia by
9 and Temple by only 2.
Shore Will Return.
A CHANGE of luck may be found
in the return of Carroll Shore,
stellar little guard who has been on
the injured list since the N. Y. U.
game. 1t may or may not be signifi-
cant that the Hoyas haven't won a
game without him.
Georgetown will take the floor with
only one sophomore. Ed Kurtyks. a
forward. Shore replaces the other
soph, Joe Murphy, who has been
playing as Kurtyka's running mate.
Harry Bassin, the teams leading
scorer last year, will pair with
Kurtyka at forward, Tommy Nolan
will be with Shore at guard and Mike
Petroskey will start at center.
