Georgetown has proven to be a
great money basket ball team in
its major victories to date but
speaking Of money what's keeping
the fans away from the Hoya games
at the new National Guard Armory?
The crowd of 2,170 that watched
Hoyas upset Loyola of Chicago,
54-45, last night was almost 800
smaller than the crowd at the Den
yer game, and both totals include
about 900 students. The college
court double headers were can
celed because of limited seating
capacity but If Georgetown, with
advance billing as a potential ma
> tional champion, good publicity and
top opposition cannot even average
$500, it appears the twin bills
could have been played after all
despite only 1925 seats.
Is it the old location jinx7
Hoyas Are Schizophrenic
Back to the ball game, If ever a
team turned in a Jekyl-and-Hyde
performance 1t was the Hoyas as
they broke Loyola's 8-game winning
streak. In the first half it appeared
Georgetown was about to be run out
Of the Armory. On foul shots alone
: they managed to trail by only six
points at the half after sloppy pass
ing, Indifferent play, and allowing
Loyola complete freedom off the
backboards and control of the jumps.
But suddenly the Hoyas switched
tactics in the second half and the
transformation was positively amaz-
ing. Loyola's 6-foot-8 Jack Kerris,
who shared almost every rebound
in the first half and tossed IN 13
points in smooth performance
under the basket, was taken out Of
play.
Coach Elmer Ripley Of the Hoyas
told Ken Brown to play out, away
from the basket, and possibly Kerris
would follow him and that would
give Andy Kostecka room to oper-
ate from close up. It worked. Brown
took Kerris out beyond the foul
stripe and Kostecka drove in time
and again for layups and totaled
~ points for the night. Kostecka
has a great faculty for drawing foul
shots. Against Denver he shot 10
