Despite Earlier Loss


Although George washington's
basketball team already has
earned the No. seeded position
in the Southern Conference tour
nament starting March 4 at
Morgantown. w. Va, the Colo
mails just can't sit back and
relax.
The tension which has been
building up for several weeks
comes to q head in two games
this week. They are games the
Colonials want to win so badly
they can taste them. Maryland
Tuesday night at Uline Arena
and North Carolina State Sat-
urday night at Raleigh. N. c.
Maryland inflicted the only
loss on GW's otherwise clean
slate, taking a 68-6l decision last
month in game CIV was sup
posed to win. Otherwise. the
Colonials have gone unbeaten
for an 1871 record. AS for State.
the Colonials haven't beaten
them in good years and bad since
1913, the last time CIV took
the Southern Conference cham
pionShip.
Look To Beating N. C. State.
The Wolfpack has beaten the
Colonials IL times since then,
including two games by fair
margins last season. 1868 and
1860. State is having q reason
ably good season this time but
not one of its best. and CIV sup
porters are looking forward to
ending the long drought with one
Of the best teams ever to repre-
sent them.
Before taking that trip to
Raleigh. however. there is the
little business to take care Of
against Maryland.
Like their first meeting this
year, the odds likely will favor
CIV. The Colonials were riding
high with an 11-game winning
streak when they went to Coli
lege Park and were ranked
seventh in the country, q height
they haven't reached since all
though last week they were No.

with Gene Shue scoring %
points and several others help
ing run up the score.
Joe Holup Stand0ut.
The only CIV player of any
moment that night was Center
Joe Holup, who despite a tapped
wrist scored 81 points. Holup
acquired the injury three days
before that game and is still
wearing the tape. =,
Since that January Is game.
CIV has won seven straight
games and Maryland has worked
up q o-1 record at part Of its
overall 21-5 season. Maryland's
most recent loss was to Duke last
week at College Park. q, team
CIV beat at Durham. Both beat
Wake Forest last week by rea-
sonable margins. CIV also beat
william and Mary last week and
it may be noted that for awhile
W6zM troubled CIV with its slow.
