Hoyas Surprise
Pitt Five

The basketball team of George
town University, defeated in three
consecutive starts, is back on its
collective feet again, and sort of
singin' in the rain. The Hoyas
found a team they could beat.
They were knocked off by Car
negie Tech, West Virginia and
Temple, and then along came
Pitt.
Now Pitt happened to be lead.
ing the Eastern intercollegiate
Basketball Conference with two
straight victories, and George
town was nowhere with three
straight defeats. Mathematics
made that one easy to figure, a
plus added to a minus always
made a minus.
Well, figures don't lie, but you
can upset 'em, and that's what
Georgetown did to the figures and
also to Pitt. The score was 30
to 27, and twill be many a day
before the Panther RECEIVERS his
poise.
The Hoyas came from behind
twice in the final half and finally
forged ahead to remain there un-
til the end. Carroll Shore, who
returned to the courts after three
weeks of inactivity, was high gun
for Georgetown with 8 points.
