much excitement they are pleas
ing in spite of the officials.
George, who sorted many COL
lege offers before enrolling at
Notre Dame and then trans
ferred to LaSalle-has numerous
roles in the La Sale style of play.
He started out by handling the
ball into the forecourt and setting
up plays.
He shared eight rebounds dur
ing the evening, made 10 of 81
field goal attempts and three out
of five fouls, and contributed one
assist, according to the official
statistics. He intercepted several
passes-which is standard against
Georgetown - and had tremen-
dous drive.
George Nearly Fouls Out.
Jack was rested midway in the
first half after drawing three fouls
and had four on him after only
AIS minutes of play in the Sec
ond half-but he escaped the fatal
fifth one. Jack wasn't an all
America, but good, driving, COL
lege courtman with a good shot,
and he gets to play two more
years, he might be all-America.
George, however, had lots of
help. La Sales showboat, Nor
man Grekin, scored 18 points in
the first half and 20 for the game
and was the most conspicuous
player on the floor. Jimmy
Phelan, the most polished of the
Explorers. contributed 81 points.
That's 64 points by three players.
La Sale, still hopeful of a post
season bid, won for the 18th time
against losses. The Explorers
caught Georgetown on one of the
Hoyas' good nights and led only
74-73 with enough time left for
Georgetown to win the game. But

Georgetown lost because of its
usual lapse. The score went from
54-al to 64-54 for La Sale before
you could say Jack George. And
faulty passes, steps and double
dribbles were costly to the over

nice comeback, then spoiled it. Bill
Bolger, who hit on six of his first
seven shots, matched Georges %
points. Hugh Beins played one of
his best games under the basket
and had II for Georgetown and
the f1aShy but inconsistent Barry
Sullivan, 13. Georgetown sank
below 500 again with 7-8 record.
AS Bill Reinhart, George Wash
ington coach, said after his game,
the Colonials discovered this over
time racket too late. Despite
some wishful thinking by CIV
rooters, their conference tourna-
ment cause is almost hopeless.
Wake Forest, one of the teams
the Colonials have to beat out to
qualify, kept pace last night by
defeating Washington and Lee.
George Washington now has
played three overtime games and
won them all, and in the overtime
session has won handily each time
Art Cerra had his hottest hand
In four years with CIV, tossing
in 20 points, but Reinhart also
liked the performance of his new
man, Ken Herschfleld, whose Is
points came nowhere near repre-
senting his full value.
Slaughter Gets 18 Points.
Jim Slaughter, 6-foot-9 center
of the Gamecocks, who scored
only ID points in defeat against
Maryland the night before, rallied
to post 18 against CIV, most o1
them late. He sank only one fielc
goal in the first half. Big Ace
