morrow for the State Group ]
scholastic basketball tourna-
ment. with the Alexandrians
slated to see action a few hours
after arrival.
The opening game of the
thfee-day tourney at Richmond

Winners of the afternoon
games meet in the first seminal
contest Friday night and the
winners of night game clash in
the second.
Title Game Saturday
The championship game will
be played Saturday night. pre-
coded by a consolation between
Friday nights losers.
George Washington, out Of
action for nearly two weeks
since it closed its season with a
1852 loss to Thomas jefferson.
is fully rested and has its
starting team ready.
Captain Mike Agee. who had
an ear infection the last week of
play, has recovered. He'll start
along with Walt Densmore, Bob
Garda, Mike Delnegro and John
Welsh.
Only casualties are a couple
of reserves. Dave Lehman and
Bucky Poole. Lehman fractured
his cheek bone several weeks
ago and won't make the trip.
Poole sprained his ankle in
practice a few days ago and his
status will be decided today by
his doctor.
Meanwhile, CIV continued to
work out, particularly, on de-
tense. The Alexandrians and
Portsmouth both are high on
|offense but weak Extensively.
CIV Third in Offense
George Washington is third in
offense with a Glib average and
meets in Portsmouth the top Of
fensive team in the tourney with
a 69.7 mark.
Defensively it is quite another
thing. CIV has the worst aver
age, a yield of 61.5 points per
game, and Wilson has the Sec
ond worst, 536.
Thus, it would appear that the
game would be a case of two
good hit, no field" teams COM
ing together.
well probably use a man.
to-man defense. but will shift
to a zone if a situation arises
that calls for a change" Coach
Steve Osisek of George Wash
ington said. This Portsmouth
team. we understand. is big and
scores well, but we hope to get
by them. If we can get over the
first hurdle we believe we have
an excellent, chance of making
the finals, but the team will
have to hustle all the way to
do it."
GW's main hopes for survival
rest on Densmore. fifth-ranking
scorer in the State with an 1870
average, and Agee, sixth ranked
at 17.9.

This route follows the same
path as Route C through the
Glover-Archbold Park. But at
that point. instead of following
the river toward Key Bridge and
the Whitehurst freeway. it fol-
lows the eastward path Of Route
lB to connect with the inner loop
near Sheridan circle.
The consultants pointed out
that both the routes which cut
Through the Glover Archhold
parkway would carry heavier
traffic volumes because they cut
through more densely populated
areas.
On maps the consultants sub
mitted to the District, they
showed lines connecting the va
Irious District routes with Route
l240 in Maryland. They stressed
that they only were concerned
with the District portions, how
ever, and that the Maryland
lines were "directional, not pre-
else route lines"

refused to indicate any prefer
ence among the routes submitted
until the consultants submit fur

London Falls Victim TO Second Half
Push By Strong billiards Quintet

The fact that basketball games
do not end at halftime cost Lon
don their second loss of the season
Friday night. Hilliard came from
behind in the second half to win
over the hard fighting Red Raid
ers to make it two losses in a row
for the year But London is still
ahead for the year. They won their
first three starts.
The billiards team, consisting
primarily of lettermen, was just
too much for London. And Hill
liards boasted height which Lon
don could not equal. 1t added up to
good big team being stronger
than a good team which was not
so big.
Another factor which hampered
London was that Byerly, London's
only letterman, had not been able
to practice since the Tuesday night
game against Washington Court
house. He had been recuperating
from a virus.
London led at the end of both
the first and second quarter and
were only trailing by six points at
the beginning Of the fourth period.

strength and carried the final score
to 56-37.
