Joe Missett, son Of a Phila-
delphia physician, figures to
supply a man-sized dose of the
medicine needed in recent years
by ailing Georgetown University
basketball teams. But the ques-
ton is, will it be enough?

points but ironically almost
sprouted goats horns in the final

nasium before q crowd Of about

The impression one gained as
the game ended with Wally Ry-
land Of AU holding the ball,
after Az gained possession on a
foul by Missett, was that 1t is
going to be a long roundball
season at both institutions.
Roanoke Here Tomorrow
With help, Missett could make
a difference in Georgetown's
fortunes, which at this point
figure to be laden with misfor-
tunes. LaSalle, st. Peters. Holy

Of the more frightening on the

our first test against a zone. OF
course, we knew we were going
to get it, but they just didn't
adapt themselves to it well. Sat-

The oddly in Swink's case is
that he went to TCU on his bas-

veloped his football reputation
