Graduation gnawed large chunks
out of Georgetown outfit of last
year. In fact. Joe has discovered he
has been stripped of nine regulars,
which will place the burden this sea-

moric tinge. But Judge, who has
fashioned 26 victories in 30 games in
two years of coaching at the Hill
top, isn't moaning.
Judges lofty 1857 batting average
in the triumph department is likely
to suffer, but Joe isn't inclined to
worry. He leaves the impression he
gets a tremendous kick in laboring
with raw material and that he rel
ishes being confronted with perpleX-

Judge, but I think well have a
fair club. Anyway, I'm satisfied" ;"
Judge already is confronted with
a knotty problem, for Georgetown,
starting Tuesday against American
University at Hilltop field, will bite
into three games this week and six
in nine days, and. according to
Judge, he has only two dependable
pitchers to toss at the opposition.
Vincent Powers, a 165-pound Buff
falo, N. Y, sophomore. is the most
highly regarded member of Judges
curving corps. A right-hander with
poise and control, Powers has a
nice repertoire of hurting tricks and
also is a talented golfer.
Bill WiXted, 6-foot 4-inch right
handler. has considerable sizzle on
his fast one, but is having trouble
with control. Bill Reynolds, Johnny
Smith and Elmer Moulin, all right
handlers. complete the pitching staff.
With the exception of First Base
man Joe Mahoney. Georgetown
team will swing entirely from the
right side of the plate.
Fight for Second Base Job.
Second base still is matter OF
contention between Joe Moran and
Jules Koshlap, while shortstop will
be handled by Lou Gheca.s and third
base by George Pajak. Joe Nc
Fadden, Johnny Schmitt and Jim
Durkin will roam the outfleld, with
Stan Blasek as the regular catcher
and Jim Castiglia in reserve.
Ghecas is being touted as the
smoothest shortstop ever to per-
