"What can you tell me about
OKeefe, Rip" reporter asked OF
Georgetown Coach Elmer Ripley last
night after the handsome youngster
from Jersey City tossed in 20 points
in the Hoyas' surprisingly easy 51-43
romp over George washington.
OKeefe is a 6-foot-1 replacement
for Andy Kostecka and has scored
so points in Georgetown's last three
games. He was on the squad at
Notre Dame two years ago, scored
122 points in 81 games as George
town sub last year and suddenly has
zoomed to stardom. Those are the
obvious facts.
Ripley leaning on his cane and
beaming, was too pleased with his
teams triumph to get serious. Hes
a good kid, fine boy, always hustles,
Rip said. did you ever see hap
pier kid than Tommy when he ran
off the foor?" Ripley asked, turn
ing interrogation, and the consensus
was that nobody was happier than
Tommy at that moment.
Not Room Enough for Both.
Somebody asked Ripley why
OKeefe had been on the bench
when Kostecka was in the game
"OKeefe and Kostecka play the
same position and there wasn't
room enough for both in the game
with the same team" Ripley ex-
planned, intimating 1t would oe
similar to having two second base
men or two quarterbacks.
"Kostecka and O'Keefe cover the
same ground on the court and their
efforts would overlap" Ripley con-
tinued. Somebody asked If Ripley
thought O'Keefe would continue to
star and Ripleys parting crack was
"You saw him out there tonight
what do you think?" There was no
answer.
