Long Stretch on Road
Puts CIV Streak and
Point Mark in Dancer

George Washington's problem
for the next month will be to
keep both its winning streak
and its high scoring habits going
while playing seven games away
from the home base at Uline
Arena. Not until a February IL
date with Washington and Lee
do the Colonials get those ia
miliar boards beneath their feet.
The Colonials do have one
game coming up in this area
they play Maryland at College
Park Friday night-but other
wise they'll be wandering around
Virginia and the Carolinas.
They played Virginia Tech at
Blacksburg last night, and con-
tinue their foray into Virginia
against Washington and Lee and
Virginia Military at Lexington
tomorrow night and Tuesday
night.
It's very likely the Colonials
will add the three games this
week to the nine they've already
won. Virginia. the only team
they play next week. already has
been beaten, and rather handily,
by the Colonials.
Early in February the team
invades the Carolinas for games
at Duke. South Carolina and
Furman. and Of these. the high
scoring Blue Devils are the ones
likely to cause the most trouble.
Could Take 16 Straight.
Providing the Colonials keep
up their winning pace. they
should be no worse than an even
bet for the game on Dukes floor.
Adding it all up, it would not
be too surprising to see them
come home boasting a string Of
Is victories. but whether they'll
maintain their high-scoring pace
is another matter.
The last time the National
Collegiate Athletic Bureau re-
leased Statistics-which was the
middle of last week-the Colo
mails were the highest-scoring
team in the country with an
average of 88.3 points a game,
just a hair ahead Of Western
Kentucky.
Most of the games thus far
have been played at home, how
ever. and it's generally conceded
team does its best in familiar
surroundings. In the only really
away" game until last night
mot counting two tournament
games at Washington-Lee High),
the Colonials fell quite a bit be-
low their usual figures while
beating William & Mary, $3.50,
at Williamsburg.
The Indians did use showdown
tactics in that game. but even
without that it is unlikely the
Colonials can keep up an 81
point average while travelling
around as they will for the next
month.
Terps Play Richmond.
With the Colonials on the road
this week, there isn't too much
collegiate activity here. Rich
mond, a good Southern Confer
ence outfit although twice beaten
by CIV, plays at Maryland to-
morrow night, and the CIV game
Friday night is the only other
item on the Maryland program.
Another feature game late in
the week has American U. at
Georgetown Saturday night.
while Howard University has two
big games against Shaw and
North Carolina College Friday
and Saturday nights at Turner's
Arena.
