DeWitt's Worth to 7erropins
Revealed as Hoyos Almost
Win When He Is Erased

Out at College Park the folks are
in a fearful dither today They've
finally found out what this long,
thin boy, George Dewitt. means to
the Maryland basket ball team
which simultaneously is being point
ed for the Southern Conference
championship and the unofficial
District title.
If you care about basket ball at
ALL get this picture. Maryland had
a 27-20 lead over Georgetown 9th
only three minutes of play remain
ing. The Terps were shoo-ins,
everybody thought. Georgetown
thrice had tied the score, at %,
SIS and 1912. but the poor shooting
Hoyas never had been in front and
going into the home stretch it was
die, dog, or eat the meat ak for the
Georgetowns. And the odds were in
favor of death.
But here one of the two whistles
which Paul Mention and Dallas
Shirley were blowing all night
sounded again and Dewitt was sent
out of the game for four personal
fouls.
George Is the Mr.. Big.
It was nearly curtains for the
Terps. The Hoyas started to pick
the ball off the blackboards for
change. Al Lujack sank foul and
a two-pointer. George Pajak potted
basket and the score was 27-25.
Charley Weidinger sank foul for
Maryland but with 80 seconds to
play Don Martin hit the jackpot to
make it 1927. A few seconds later
Martin was fouled and drew free
throw. He missed. He missed the
chance to send the game into an
extra and possibly fatal period for
Maryland.
It was reasonable to assume that
DeWitt's departure was responsible.
In the three minutes the former
Western High star was out Of the
game Maryland all but blew seven
point lead. Indeed, Maryland backed
into victory.
So now the folks are all a-dither.
Apparently Dewitt is the Mr.. Big
and the Marylands can't afford to
lose him. There is some talk of pu.
ting him under glass for the next
month. Or assigning him a body
guard. They're afraid he'll step of
a curb and sprain an ankle. They're
afraid of sabotage. In fact, they're
afraid.
Could Be Very Involved.
It wasn't particularly good eve
ming for either winner or loser.
AS for the fans, Messrs. Mention and
Shirley blew the whistle too often.
From Maryland viewpoint the
49-to-29 victory of George WASH
ington over Navy wasn't encourag-
ing. Before the Terps can claim

1t was up to their side to get pos

When scoring gestures finally
were resumed it was G. w. which
again took the initiative, running
the count to 1923 before Coach Bill

tutions. George Washington fin
ished the game with complete

From a Georgetown slant it was

of their fouls and field shots they
might have returned to the Dis

if Georgetown could have licked
Maryland, and the Terps lick George

1t could have been all very in
volved. It may be yet. But the
safest way to figure now is that
the Maryland-George Washington
