Season Record
To Armory Tonight

Georgetown will make fifth at
tempt to score its 10th victory to-
night with Coach Bo Adams Ford
ham Rams the opposition at the
Armory at 8:45, following fresh
man preliminary.
Fordham's 11-game winning streak
of two weeks ago is just a memory,
but the Rams still own respecta-
BILE record of 13 victories against
three defeats-at the hands of Syra-
cuse, unbeaten Columbia and Army.
Again Fordham will present its
former Washington schoolboy star,
Bob Mulvihill, who played a bril-
liant game when the Rams beat
Georgetown here last year for one
of IS victories in % games.
The Rams scoring star is Gerry
Smith, who accounted for 20 points
against Army on Saturday when
the Rams were victims of one Of
the biggest upsets of the Eastern
season.
Georgetown, which has lost to
Holy Cross, N. c. State, Penn State
and New York U. in its last four
starts, to make 13 defeats in %
games, will start Frank Alagia in
place of Eddie Brembs. This is
the Hoyas last game before they
meet George Washington Saturday,
at the Armory.
G. w. Edges Out w. and L.
George Washington now has won
two in row without their high
scorer and captain, Bill Cantwell,
who remains at school while the
Colonials are on their two-day
Southern Conference trip to Lexing-
ton, Va.
Last-minute baskets by Ray Adler
and Phil McNiff gave the Colonials
the lead for the first time as the
game ended against Washington
and Lee last night, 66-65, and just
averted q second embarrassing de-
feat at the hands of the second
flight Generals.
Cantwell, who played only two
minutes of the Maryland game last
week because Coach Art Zahn
thought the players were too de-
pendent on him and not thinking
enough for themselves, now is re-
ceiving treatment for a bone chip
in the right leg that has bothered
him for some time.
Zahn is anxious to have CantWell
in readiness for the Georgetown
game Saturday night and the
Southern Conference tournament
next month.
With Cantwell out of the lineup
Adler, Johnny Moffatt and McNiff
took over the scoring with II, Is and
II points. Fred yinson, the Cen
erals captain, who scored the win
ming goal against G. w. here, was
out of their lineup with bad cold.
Bob Goldsmith led the hosts with
Is points.
American u. Defeated.
American University just can't
get over the hump this season. just
as it appeared the Eagles were un-
der way, they went to Westminster
last night and were beaten, 54-52,
by Western Maryland team that
stood 10th in the 13-team Mason
Dixon Conference. 1t was the big
gest upset Of the conference season
to. date.
I The defeat was big lift to Cath
olic University, which is hopeful of
Iupsetting the Eagles in the second
game of their intracity rivalry to-
morrow night at C. U. The Eagles
won the first game in their home
gym by S points.
The Eagles might blame over
confidence for the Western Mary
land defeat, as they drubbed the
Terrors by 16 points in previous
defeat, but more concrete reason
was a continuation, of their. afro
cious foul shooting. A. U. missed 16
of "a foul shots, with Pete Negley
failing on 7 out. of 10, while Fred
Fling made l of 6.
Bob Lamon boosted his points
total to 101 in the last five games
with 16-point performance. Neg
