Tighter Defense
Gains Split for
Colonial Nine

George washington's baseball
team is strong enough at bat to
get q reasonable number Of hits
and runs. All the Colonials need
is tighter pitching and fielding
to keep the opposition from
doing likewise.
The four games lost by CIV,
Of six played, all have been by
almost fantastic scores, such as
that l5-l0 margin West Virginia
took In the first game Of a
double header on the Ellipse yes
terday opening the Southern
Conference season for both. The
Colonials got f1ve-hit pitching
from Left-hander Roger Turner
to win the second game. 81.

Syracuse was scheduled to play
at Georgetown today.
Terps Game Delayed
| The Maryland Clemson game
scheduled yesterday at Clemson
was rained out, and they were
booked to try again today.
The feature of GW's loss to
West Virginia in yesterdays first
game was the two homers by
Centerfielder Jack Rabbits Of
the Mountaineers in the third
inning. They were part Of a
10-run outburst and were his
fourth and fifth homers of the
year. He carried a $50 batting
average into yesterdays games.
All of GW's runs in the first
game came in the second, paced
by Catcher Joe Luggi's homer
with two aboard.
Turner struck out eight men In
the second game and walked only
two. His five-hitter stopped West
Virginia's winning streak Of five
games. The big blow for CIV was
a single by Dick Cilento in the
second that drove in two runs.
Homers Help Doom GU
Home runs also helped Lafay-
cite overpower Georgetown yes
terday. Bill Hogarty homered In
the fifth inning and Bob Ma
chiorlette in the seventh. GU
collected 10 hits. but they were
scattered and the Hoyas were
able to score only single runs in
the first, third and sixth. GU
was left with a 4-3 record and
Lafayette 81.
There also was a home run at
Quantico as the Marines spoiled
Syracuse's debut. Don Blaha hit
one with two on as Quantico
turned in its ninth victory in 10
games.

~: (R.-Avery Brundage, presi-

Australians the 1856 Olympic
Games could be taken from Mel

Apparently unmindful Of q
storm of protest swirling UP over
his criticism of preparations for

press conference he had cable
in his pocket from one city
asking to take over the Games
and said there had been requests
from others. He was not pre-
pared at this stage to say who
the other cities were.

take the Games from Melbourne.

who he said, was devoted to the
success of the Melbourne games.

He said the future of the games
would be discussed at a Paris

While he was speaking, Brun-

by Wilfred Kent Hughes, Aus
