GU Cage Team Wrecked
As -Four Players Funk Out
Exoms Remove
Two Starters;
Pichette Hurt
BY BILL FUCHS
star stan Writer

Mid-year examinations have
cut four players from the ranks
of the Georgetown University
basketball squad, with two
starters, the No. 6 player and
a reserve failing to make the
grade.
Failure at Georgetown means
automatic expulsion. A student
suffering such fate must wait
one year before applying for re-
admission.
Jack Mes, 6-foot junior from
Bayonne, N. j., and Tom Nc
Closkey, former star with Con-
zaga High here. were among
the missing as the second SEM
ester opened at Georgetown to-
day.
Jack Rafferty,, considered the
No. substitute, and Henry
RojaS, a 6-foot-5, 205-pounder,
are the other players who have
been dropped from school. All
except Mes were sophomores.
Rafferty, comes from Sayville,
N. Y, and was a product Of
Seton Hall Prep. Rojas, a grad
uate of Fairfield Prep, is from
Stamford, Conn.
Coach Philosophical
Coach Tommy Nolan accepted
the bad news philosophically.
you have to maintain cer-
tain a academic standards"
Nolan said. There's a certain
amount of responsibility in COL
lege a student has to assume
for himself. After all, nobody's
going to take them by the hand
when they get out into life"
Mics and McCloskey were
starters on team that had
posted an 8-5 record to date.
They played on a recent road
trip on which the Hoyas lost
both games.
The Hoyas next play Rich
mond Wednesday night at
Georgetown. With the aca-
demic losses and a sprained
ankle suffered by Ken Pichette,
the teams top scorer, Nolan
must dig deep into his reserves
to come up with a starting five.
Two Starters Left
John Clark, just recovering
from a respiratory infection,
and Joe Titus, 6-foot-6 star,
are the only original starters
available. Ed Hargaden, who
has seen a bit of action, Bobby
Moses and Dick Razzetti will
start against Richmond. Moses
and Razzetti have little game
experience.
I'VE are not going to cry
about it." Nolan said. This all
figures in the game. You
can't make excuses for it. It's
going to be tough, but we are
going to show up for all Of our
games and we're going to try
to win them all with what we've
got"
Pitchette injured his ankle in
the first half against Scranton
Saturday night. He will be out
from 6 to 10 days.

81 AS far as safety is concerned we are quite sure
that a search Of our records will reveal that the
number of traffic accidents we have had here
during the years that left hand drive has been in
effect is far less than in communities OF compara-
tive size to ours and having right hand drive.
g. We have not, up to this date heard Of one sound
reason wherein the Municipality would benefit
from a change from left hand to right hand
drive.
We trust that the above reasons for our opposition to
right hand drive in our community are clearly stated, and
will be Of some use in discouraging the change whenever
the time arises.

November 5, 1857
Honorable Aubrey A. Anduze, D. D. S.
President, Legislature of the Virgin Islands
Christiansted
St. Croix, Virgin Islands
Dear Mr.. President:
On july %. 1857, at about II o'clock in the morning,
Mrs. Myrtle H.. Elkins was driving her car, No. T-1545, a
1856 Plymouth 4-door Sedan, in the street Immediately
to the west Of the Lionel Roberts Ball Park. She was pro-
ceedlng from south to north. When she arrived at the
northwest corner of the Park near the scoreboard, a ball
knocked by one Of the players in the Little Baseball
League flew out of the Park and smashed her front wind
shield, damaging it beyond repair. As a result, she had
to buy and install a new windshield at a cost of $500.
Mrs. Elkins brought an action in the Municipal
Court against Mr.. Viggo Wallace and MIR. Louis Boneli
on the ground that Mr.. Wallace, as Chief of Recreation,
had directed Mr.. Boneli to play in this part Of the field
so close to the street that it was dangerous to passing
people and property, and that Mr.. Bonelli was present
at the time in the course Of carrying out this order when
the accident occurred; and that no safety measures had
been taken to protect passers-by, either by roping off the
area or by putting up a sign giving notice of the possible
danger.
The United States Attorney, upon special appear
ance. filed a motion praying the Court to dismiss the ac-
ton based on Section zb Of the Revised Organic Act Of
the Virgin Islands, of 1854, which states that: pro-
vided that no tort action shall be brought against the
Government of the Virgin Islands or against any officer
or employee thereof in his official capacity without the
consent Of the legislature constituted BY this Act

sale of this land, in the event that this area is the one Sc
lected as result of the studies and planning work now be-
ing conducted by the Housing Authority and the Pubic
Housing Administration.
While we may not know how large an ALLEGATION we will
receive until after Commissioner Slusser visits the islands,
and while we do not know definitely where the new pro-
iect will be built, it is hoped that both the Legislature and
the Governor will approve the area mentioned herein,
particularly for the following reasons:
Cd The Authority will be able to proceed with the
preparation of a Development Program for a
new project as soon as notice of the ALLEGATION IS
received, provided the area finally selected has
been approved for housing. If what is found to
be the most feasible site has not been approved,
it would mean A delay Of from to 6 months I'M
til the next Regular Session Of the Legislature.
The President Of the Legislature : pc. 2 = Nov. q, 1857
O There is a great deal of pessimism as to what the
attitude of Congress will be with respect to pub
lie housing next year. For this reason, this Auth
GRITTY and all other housing agencies will be
attempting to have Development Programs aD-
proved and Annual Contributions Contracts exc
cuted for all ALLEGATIONS, prior to June 81, 1888.
Accordingly, the approval Of the Legislature is requested
Of the land west of Estate Richmond, running IN the d.
rection of the present pententiary. Due consideration has
been given to the provision in the Master Plan for the Is
land of St. Croix which calls for the relocation OF the pen1-
tertiary. This request is made in accordance with Section
q of the Gordon-Jacobs Virgin Islands Housing and Re
development Authority Law of 1856.

sons, among which are the following:
y The left hand drive has been the custom Of the
islands for many years, and we are in favor Of
retaining such a custom.
q It is much easier for a visitor coming to the is
land to get adjusted to the traffic, than for the
entire population Of approximately $4,000 per
sons to adjust themselves to the right hand
drive. In our opinion this would cause a greater
number of traffic accidents, probably more
fatalities.
3 Our roads are not wide enough for right hand
drive in the city and in the country they are
even worse.
~ It is true that if someone is driving behind a
large vehicle and would like to pass it, he would
have to be very careful in order to avoid hitting
