To Ayenge Only Loss
By Bob Henson

basketball winning streak, is out
to avenge its only defeat when
it plays George Washington a
week from Friday.
The Generals, who have a 81
record. won their fifth straight
last night, defeating St. An
thony. 55-47. at WI. The VIC
tory atoned somewhat for a loss
the TONES inflicted last year
when they knocked WI out Of
the Metropolitan tournament.
It was CIV that walloped the
Generals. $3.50, after they had
started of by winning their first
four games. But it is q different
looking club operating now for
Coach John Rothrock. One diff
ference Is the addition of Bill
(Red) Carr. a regular last year
who missed seven games because
Of his grades. Another has been
the steady improvement of
Sonny Dugan.
Dugan Leading Scorer.
A pitcher on the baseball team,
Dugan, 5-foot-10, is up from last
years jayvees and. has emerged
as the teams leading scorer. He
hit for 10 points last night, high
for both teams. WI took quar-
ter leads Of 1913, 1928 and
41-37. The TONES tied it up
midway in the last period. 1916.
and went ahead at 47-46 on a
free toss by Joe Sullivan. But
Dugan and Jim Woodbridge each
scored twice for WI to put the
game out Of reach with 80 sec
onds remaining.
Sullivan was high for st. An
thony with IA points followed
by Bill Cassidy. who played an
excellent game of the boards,
with II. Doug Watson with 13
points was second high for WI.
In the Interhigh League CDivi-
sion u. Eastern put crimp in
the championship plans of Will
son with a 1855 upset victory.
Minus its top playmaker, Gino
D'Ambrosio who graduated, the
Ramblers put on a diversified
attack with five of its players
scoring in double figures. Lou
Luce Of Wilson emerged as
the games high scorer with 81
points. Eastern and Wilson are
now tied for third place in the
league, each with a 80 record.
Anacostia Beats Coolidge.
Anacostia vaulted into second
place behind league-leading
Tech with a 53-45 victory over
Coolidge in the second game of
the double-header yesterday at
Tech. The Colts took 1875
first-quarter lead but Zeke
Zirkle. Dick Butler and Wayne
Thomerson found the range for
the Indians and put them ahead
to stay. Zirkle was high for
Anacostia with % points and Doc
Weingarten and Bob Wondrack
shared scoring honors for Cool
idge. each with Is points.

start. but then went into high
gear led by Terry Hatchett and
Bill Burton and coasted to a
5000 victory over Cardozo in a
