Bolger's feat of tying for the
most valuable award on a night
when O'Brien broke the Boston
Arena scoring record with a Al
point performance against Boston
College in the consolation game is
a tribute to Bolger's versatility.
Bolger, 6-foot-5 senior, scored
SIS points in the two games, with
I29 against Seattle and 26 last
night, to SO for O'Brien, who
scored % against the Hoyas be-
fore ne broke the arena mark.
Johnny now has 2,687 points for
four years play.
Coach Buddy Jeannette was not
conceded much chance of leading
the Hoyas to victory in the Boston
tournament because of his teams
light pre-tournament schedule.
Hoyas Check Fast Break.
But Jeannette. a crafty veteran
of college and professional basket
ball although he's only 35, brought
his team along nicely in his first
year at the Hilltop.
Against the fast-break style of
Seattle and Rhode Island State,
he slowed down the Georgetown
Iattack. He made excellent use of
his big men in controlling the
backboards Bolger, Hugh Beins,
Dennis Murphy and Jack Hekker
were the men who shared the re-
bounds.
Murphy, playing his first games
of the season, was the second high
scorer last night with IL points
after playing a leading role in the
Seattle triumph with his all
around play.
The all-tournament first team
was made up of Bolger and Gil
gante of Georgetown; Johnny and
Eddie O'Brien of Seattle and
Johnny Silk of Boston College.
The second team was Hugh Beins
of the Hoyas; Bill Baird, Dave
Stenhouse and Fred Congleton of
Rhode Island State, and Stan
Glowaski of Seattle.
Bolger and O'Brien tossed for
the most valuable player trophy
and O'Brien won, but Bolger will
receive a duplicate.
Murphy Protects Lead.
Georgetown held only 2-point
edge at halftime against the Rams
after leading by six at the quarter.
The Hoyas' margin was only one
point going into the last quarter,
60-5S, but Murphy pulled them
ahead with two quick baskets.
Georgetown's biggest weakness was
from the foul line, where the
Hoyas missed II out of SO, five by
Bolger.
Georgetown came out of the
tournament with a SO record to
81 for Seattle against college
competition. Rhode Island State
is 3-4 and Boston College has lost
all five of its games, including the
preliminary to Seattle by 1896.
Georgetown plays only the CO.
lonials and Maryland before TAX
ing two weeks off for exams. A
three-game trip through upper
New York State follows the exams.
