CIV Can Pass

George Washington Univer-

to pass a milestone on its come
back drive tomorrow night
when it meets Richmond at
the Fort Myer gym.
If Coach Bill Reinhart's CO.
lonials win as expected, 1t will
be their fifth straight and give
them a season record Of eight

A year ago American U. stu
dents got their first look at
Willie as a loud freshman in
the bleacher stands. He had
one ankle in a cast and was
holding a crutch. He had grad
uated from Dunbar in mid
year and severely sprained the
ankle in his second day of
practice at AU. Willie's con-
tribution to the team for the
next few weeks was the Ere
quent exhortation from the
sidelines Of Shoot, man.

Sparks Team to PIayOffs
The fact that Jones was ALL
Metropolitan at Dunbar the
year before probably cut no
ice with AU fans. When he
threw away the crutch, how
ever. the spectators got an idea
of what he had been hollering
about. Although still favoring
the ankle. Willie played the
last eight games and spanked
40 to the conference playoffs.
AL crowds had a new favorite.
Last Saturday night, when
Jones set a school record of
SO points against Roanoke,
some were comparing him to
Ronnie Garshag. who set the
old record Of SO eight years
ago. But Garshag was a care
free clown. while Willie is more
the serious comedian. His jok-
ing is abundant but with q
purpose.
He keeps the team laugh
ing and the crowd, too" an
AU spokesman said yesterday.
When We were out in Ohio
the newspapers called him q
Junior Marques Haynes"
The reference was to his
showmanship and fancy ball
handling, in the image of the
former Harlem Globetrotter.

Jones has become the target
of the grandstand jockeys
around the conference, but he
claims the crowds don't bother
him. II anything they make
him try harder and play better,
he says.
People at AU do not refer
to Willie as the best player on
the team, not yet. Frank Weiss
Is the more. accurate shot and
recently broke the career scor-
ing record for the school, which
was 1871 points. The reason
the senior from Brooklyn is
averaging 15.9 points instead
of 20 or more this season is that
he does not drive in with the
ball and therefore does not coll
lect the foul shots often.
Tomorrow night the Eagles
meet one Of their toughest
hurdles at home. Mount st.
Mary's is the defending con-
ference champion and in
fiicted a 5000 defeat on AU
almost q month ago in EN-
mitsburg. Md.
Carrasco is hoping the past
month and the home court will
make UP the difference. Also,
Jones should be more effective
since scoring 80 points the
other night. Willie fouled out
against the Mounts last time.
