Georgetown Falters
Preseason ratings had George
town as the potential Big Three
champion, but the way the Hoyas
have faltered in their last three
games. particularly in their loss
to ST. Peters last Saturday night,
makes this rating suspect. Coach
Tommy Nolan's predominantly
senior team has talent, however,
and playing on its home floor
tonight should rate a slight edge.
CIV has beaten Georgetown in
their last six games. The Hoyas
last won, 1864, in the second
game of the 1853 season.
George Washington expected a
slow start this year with mostly
Ia sophomore lineup, but it's

Although the continental
United States covers more than
million square miles and holds
a population of some ITO million
persons whose incomes last year
came to 1925 billion. more peo-
pie think that 81 500 Hungar-
ians would be something of a

think any other single way about
the question.
There are 1910 counties in
the 48 States of our Nation, and
this entire quota of Hungarians
would fill just one of average
size; yet by a close vote. we
seem to be saying that a group

our country. Why?
