Hoyos Lose Two Top Scorers
As Mohnken, Kostecku Leave

What will be remembered by
Georgetown students as the schools
smoothest basket ball team will play
two more games, then yield to the
Army. What the Hoyas will yield
to the Army next week will be their
two top-scorers, 6-foot 8-inch John
Mahnken and 6-foot 3-inch Andy
Kostecka.
With Mahnken, who has avera ged
nearly is points game, entering
the Army on Thursday and Kos
tecka preceding him into the serv-
ice on Tuesday the Hoyas probably
will see their dream of national
championship fade.
Mahnken and KoStecka will per-
form against Maryland on Saturday
night at College Park and st. Johns
on Monday night at Madison Square
Garden, but they'll be missing when
the Hoyas face Temple, George
Washington, ColgatA Syracuse and
Penn State.
Coach Elmer Ripley had hoped to
replace Kostecka with Joe Gyorgy-
deak, but he also will enter the Army
next week. Ripley lost Ed LAWN,
capable reserve. to the Army three
weeks ago and 6-foot 9-inch Stretch
Goedde quit school in December.
Maryland probably will lose high
