BOSTON. Feb. 10.-A big drop
in attendance has forced the
Boston Celtics to discontinue tel
coasts of Sunday afternoon games
in the National Basketball Asso-
citation.
A club spokesman said that
while attendance at non-tele-
vised weekday games in Boston
Garden is up 40 per cent from
last Year, crowds at Sunday tele-
cast games are down about 20
per cent. WNAC-TV agreed to

The facts concerning a fan
tastic basketball game between
Gonzaga and st. Johns more
than 80 years ago finally have
been nailed down.
Joe Kozik, Gonzaga athletic
director, last night came up with
a report of the game in a school
record book for 1920.
Inquiries began pouring in
after Elgin Baylor was reported
to have set an all-time high
school record for this area Fri
day. Baylor scored SO points for
Spingarn against Phelps.
Many old-timerS insisted Bay
lor's performance was not a rec
ord. that George O'Connor held
that distinction for leading Con-
zaga in a rout over st. Johns.
Many different versions of the
game cropped up.
Here are the facts, as recorded
in the Gonzaga record book:
Gonzaga won the game, 1920.
O'Connor scored 80 goals, break
ing the record of 33 set by
Freddy Rice of the old Corcoran
Cadet team. In those days, the
captain of the team shot all
fouls, SO O'Connor's total was
Is points.
1T was the final game of the
season-l920," Kozik said. 1.-The

said the coach. who will send the

victory in tonight's game with

unimpressive 8-8 record. Du-
quesne has seven games after
tonight.
Moore says he isn't too wor-
ried that Tech will topple the
Dukes, but:
THE rest of the teams can
cause plenty of trouble. Our
winning streaks have always
ended on the road and I'm afraid
if we do get beat-and that is
very likely-it will be on the

Kentucky. the only other I'M

Geneva. Cincinnati, Dayton and

Six Of the remaining oppo-
nents were soundly whipped by
the Dukes earlier this season.

Cincinnati, 5000: st. Bonaven-
ture. 53-41, and Villanova, 70-41.

Coach Bill Reinhai't Of George
Washington long has, dreaded
those Southern road trips that
call for three games in four days.
With the Colonials having
swept all three games in one of
the toughest trips of this kind
in years. they should have fairly
smooth sailing the rest of the
year. They beat Duke Saturday,
South Carolina Monday and
Furman last night.
The 102~97 triumph over Fur
man and Frank Selvy at Green
vile. S. c.. virtually assured CIV
of a perfect season in Southern
Conference play and top seeding
in the tournament at Morgan
town, w. Va, March As. It also
should mean a higher national
ranking next week. The Colonials
were ranked No. 10 yesterday.
George Washington now has a
80 record in the conference and
ISL in what SO far is the best
season in the schools basketball
history. The best previous season
was 1873 in 1867.
Six Games Left.
The Colonials have six games
remaining and will be heavily
favored in three and about even
money in the others. Their
schedule until the tournament:
February 12-Washington and
Lee at Uline's. =
February 16-William and
Mary at Uline's.
February 19-Wake Forest at
Uline's.
February 23-Maryland at
Uline's.
February 27-North Carolina
State at Raleigh.
March 2-Georgetown, there.
The Colonials should be able
to put Washington and Lee, Will
liam and Mary and Georgetown S
crippled and scholastic riddled
team in their pocket. Wake For
est will be tough, but the Dea-
cons can be taken when they're
out Of Baptist Hollow.
Although Maryland handed
CIV its only defeat. the Colonials
should take care Of the Terps in
the return game at Uline's. North
Carolina State, with its poorest
team in Everett Cases regime,
still will be tough. CIV never
has beaten the Wolfpack.
5000 See Game.
The Colonials came up with
one of their best. If not their
finest, performance of the season
in beating Furman, sending a
q year winning streak for the
home team in Greenville's Tex
tile Hall. The game drew more
than 5000 and hundreds were
turned away.
From the scoring angle the
game principally was a two-man
scrap on each side, with Corky
Devlin and Joe Holup hitting for
CIV and Frank Selvy and Darrell
Floyd for Furman.
Joe Holup set a CIV scoring
record with SO points and Dew
lin was next with 80 for SO
points. Selvy and Floyd each
made So for Furman for 70
points. Selvy made only a foul
shot in the final quarter, and at
the same time Floyd had four
fouls and was less effective.
Floyd is the player who has
been eligible for only the last
few games.
Holup had 80 points, not Al
as recorded in some box scores.
Bob Thomas of Furman scored
two points for CIV in the Sec
ond period on tipped-in basket.
Furman led as late . as the
1881 point but CIV took COM
mand there and stayed ahead,
with Devlin adding two late field
goals to clinch the victory. 1t
was the first time CIV passed
100 since its opening game VIC
tory over West Virginia.
