Neither Coach Happy
As CIV Beats Hoyas
In Overtime Period
Ry Bill Fuchs

George Washington and
Georgetown treated a packed
house at McDonough Gym to a
slam-bang basketball game last
night, but neither Bill Reinhart.
coach of the winning Colonials,
nor Georgetown Coach Buddy
Jeannette was satisfied.
"1t was a great game to win, all
right" Reinhart said after the
Colonials finally prevailed, 1866,
in overtime. But we never
played our game until the over
time. It was their game to slow
it down and we tried to go along
the same way. But it's not our
game.
1--WE missed a lot Of shots. But
then, when we got control of the
game in overtime. we moved.
We're used to moving fast. It
was a tough game for Buddy to
lose"
It was the third overtime VIC
tory for CIV in its last four
games with the Hoyas.
Same Old Problem.
Jeannette is experiencing the
same old problem which finally
caused Buddy O'Grady to leave
the post after last season. Faulty
ball-handling, exploding under
pressure-call it anything you
will-the Hoyas should have had
that victory last night. Bill
Bolger. who played a great game
otherwise, threw the ball right
into the arms Of Walt Devlin,
who went the length of the floor
and threw in the tying basket
with 49 seconds left. That threw
the game into overtime.
But Jeannette took the loss in
good humor. "We're not folding
just because we lost a ball
game" he said. 1--WE intend to
show up at College Park Satur-
day night"
The Hoyas take on Maryland
tomorrow night in their second
game in the big Three" series.
while CIV has a date against
Richmond at Richmond.
1.-THE boys just lost their
heads" Jeannette said. "They
played a real tight game until
the overtime. Then the bottom
fell out"
Although neither team was
playing basketball at It's best,
the game was exciting enough to
assure another big turnout at
Uline Arena March 3. when the
two teams meet again. And
playing at Uline will be all right
with all those fans who crowded
their way into McDonough Gym
only to find no seats left, and all
the others who couldn't even
get in.
McDonough Gym was not con-
structed to handle big-time
basketball. Every seat in the
house was taken an hour before

Two More Checks
For Addition To
Hospital Received

The County Commissioners were
in receipt of two checks this week
for the proposed addition to the
Garrett County Memorial hospital.
One check was for $500 from
Ernest G.. Gnegy, and one for $500
from Gertrude Aronhalt. These are
in addition to a check for $500 re-
ccived a few weeks ago from the
Garrett National Bank.
Mr.. Gnegy, in letter to the
commissioners, declared the con-
struction of new addition to the
hospital would be "a most timely
move In his opinion the construc
ton of a twenty-bed wing would
not be large enough as he felt that
a 54-bed hospital would not be
sufficient in the near future.
He hoped for consideration of a
fifty-bcd addition, or at least a
forty, at least that the Commission
ers and people of the county give
such an addition some thought.
