It could be a touch of hay fever,
ordinary sniff1es or simply wishful
thinking, but George Washington
fans have been Smitten with that
peculiar feeling diagnosed by any
close observer as another attack of
GeorgetoWnitis.
This is a painful malady. Traces
of it are noticeable in the spring
when Bill Reinhart gathers his brood
around him to plot the following
autumn's work and it assumes epi-
demic proportions early in October.
The symptoms are obvious. A couple
of early season victories and mount
ing fervor to humble the Hoyas are
the most noticeable.
Team Good, but Needs Polish.
The disease is incurable. Medical
authorities agree it is a recurring
illness that cannot be eradicated
and is relieved only by a victory
over Georgetown once in a while
or even once. And the G. WIS are
clamoring for relief.
Well, this may be the year In
running over -Iount st. Marys,
the Colonials showed us a heady
quarterback in Jimmy Graham, two,
hard-running ball carriers in Walt
Fedora-an old offender-and Don
Pinnow. Henry Agusiewicz, shame
fully overlooked in the original re-
port, and John Konizewski stood
out in the line, which will be bet
ter with Johnny Picco back at end
and Danny Synder at tackle. The
team needs polish, but the stuff is
there.
George Washington has Manhat-
tan this week and Washington and
Lee next to play before George
town but it can't get its mind off
the Hoyas. Reinhart, while keeping
cool, admits he can't help thinking
about his neighbors, wondering what
the result will be this time and
hoping it will be favorable. And
after holding the Hilltoppers to an
80 count last year when they
weren't supposed to have chance,
we're sort of wondering if this
will be THE YEAR the G. WIS have
so long awaited.
Paul Weber, triple threat sopho-
more back, will definitely not see
action against Manhattan Friday
night, Trainer George LentZ report
ed to George Washington Univer-
sity's football squad yesterday. The
promising back suffered a severe
shoulder injury in the Colonials'
opening win over Mount st. Mary's
Saturday and will be out for several
weeks.
The c. w. team came out of its
initial conflict with only one other
serious injury-Enrico Seeno's brok-
en- nose. Though still in the hos
pital, Seeno, a guard, will be able to
play against the Jaspers through
the aid of mask.
PaternOSter Hoya Standout.
With all due credit to Chris Pa
vich. Art Lemke. Ed Derringe, AL
Blozis and all the other George
town linemen who performed so
splendidly against Mississippi. the
best on the field was Pat Pater-
noster. You didn't see much of him
because he was on the bottom of
most of the plays.
Hagerty's pep talk to his men be-
tween halves was a classic.
Il want you fellows to play the
same brand of football that you
played in the first half" he said.
Let's get out there and fight"
The Hoyas had scare yesterday
when Quarterback John Barrett was
rushed to the hospital believed to be
suffering an attack of appendicitis.
Hagerty had visions of losing him
for month at least. An examina-
ton revealed, however. his tempera-
ture normal and his blood count low.
Physicians believe him to be suffer-
ing nothing more than a bad
stomach ache induced by a kick in
Fridays game. Two days rest ap-
