ball is his favorite game. He
didn't have enough time to go
out for varsity basketball, so
he organized the Yankees and
led them to two consecutive
intramural titles, plus numer-
GUS victories in independent
games.
Coach Winnie De Angels
put him on third when Joe
came out for baseball two
years ago. He batted a meager
$50 but gave the Colonials big
league protection at the hot
corner. Last year he powdered
the pill for a .305 average under
Otis Zahn. He's hitting at a
.410 clip this season. but play
ing the outfield. Seems that
when his bat got hot his field
ing cooled off and De Angels,
back at the helm, shunted him
to the outfield.
So Joe has a record to spur
him tomorrow against the
Hoyas. If he misses. well. he'll
be back again next year and
maybe he'll bat 500. After that

Joe Famulatte will take an
extra good hold on his bat and
an extra keen look at every
thing thrown at him tomorrow
at Georgetown because if the
muscular George Washington
outfielder gets a bingle he'll
finish the season with a record
of hitting safely in all OF his

Sportswriters know OF no
surer way of linking a player
than by mentioning things like
this, but tomorrow marks the
windup for G. w. and If Joe
doesn't get an appreciative nod
now he'll be passed over COM
pletely.
He's a card, too. Skip Stanley
persuaded him to come to G. w.
to play football three years ago
and then didn't use him enough
to work UP a sweat. He was
supposed to be a halfback but
when 30 Roland took over the
