Coach Joe Judge took one look at
Tommy Nolan and then ordered .
dozen fungo bats for his George.
town outfielder to use this season.
why, Joe?" asked the former
Eastern High star, worried lest his
coach, the former Nat, assign him to
the duty Of fungo hitting.
Tommy, you don't look like YOU

Judges only need on the Hilltop this

or two. He has the nucleus OF a for.

key and Hank Bertrand and. with the
prospects Of another slug-nutty team,
the newcomer doesn't have to be ex-
ceptional. Indeed, Joe claims that any
pitcher who can hold the opposition
to less than six runs will win games
for Georgetown.
Don't ask Judge about one left
handler he tried out during the first
days practice in Ryan gym, however.
It's excusable for hurler to be wild
at the start, but according to Hilltop
onlookers that day this pitcher hit"
everything but the ceiling, pitches
from his paw riccocheting off VIM
dows, side walls and even the over.
head running track.
Faris All-Around Star.
Bob Faris is likely to go down in
history as George Washington's only
all-around atahlete of the 1878
school year. Already having won his
letter in football and basket ball, The
tall, quiet and efficient Faris now
looms as one of the four around whom
the Colonial tennis team will be built.
Faris also holds the reputation Of
being the traveling-est G. w. athlete
OF the year. The only courtman who
was member of the football team,
Faris has been to Arkansas, Detroit,
Chicago and New York since last
September, with many other points
sandWiched.
Tennis, incidentally, will supply @.
w. with its only intercollegiate COM
petition of the spring. Matches al
ready have been scheduled with WASH
ington and Lee, Richmond, Pitt, Elon
and Catawba, with Columbia Coun-
try Clubs courts likely to be the
Colonials' home site.
Another basket baller, Jack But
terWorth, is said to be quite netman,
while Don Surine and Bob Brastead
are expected back from last years
squad, which split even in six matches.
Acting Director of Athletics Max Far
rlngton, who is pretty handy with
any kind of a racket, will coach the
team.
G. w. Fans Disappointed.
George Washington's dropping of
baseball is disappointing to others
than Coach Ed Morris (who probably
would pay for the privilege of coach
ing any ball team and those players
who formed G. WIS nine last year.
We speak Of hundreds of Govern
ment workers who used to drop by the
Ellipse diamonds on the way home
from work and watch G. WIS games.
The only colleg, team which operated
anywhere near downtown Washington,
the Colonials, by the same token, were
the only team which drew any kind of
a week day crowd
1t has been revealed that Catholic
University's track captain, Corrado
Goffredi. who pole-vaulted for the
Cardinals in the Maryland-5th Regi-
ment and c. US indoor meets during
the past two Saturdays, entered each
without any vaulting practice.
The c. U. gym has no winter facili-
ties for allowing work with the pole,
but Goffredi performed creditably in
each meet. He barely missed II feet
the first Saturday and last week was
rewarded with third plac. at Brook
land
They haven't been announced yet,
but we pity the opponents Of George
towns golf team this spring. How
would you like to send a team against
a quartet of Billy Shea, Billy Dett-
weller, Maury Nee and Johnny Burke?
