tribute to Coach Elmer Riple ' anwl our aliant hoopsters tor their exceptional i ' la ' on the court we closed our season with KS ictories and 7 defeats. In a post-season tribute to the line play of Georgetown basketball squad, the team was invited to the Jesuit tournament at the t)9th St. Armory in X. ' .C. on March 14th, coming against the Boston College team which we had pre Mously defeated in the Boston Gardens in December. Again we ran away with the honors. A crowd of 6,700 attended the game, one of the largest crowds on record at the armory. Looking back o er the season, the team is to be heartily congratulated. The schedule was probably as tough as any played through- out the country, and some of the finest teams were played in rapid-fire succession, without a breathing space between them. Lacking a home court, on which to play its home games, is a tremeni lous hani.lieap to any team; and most of the games we lost, were lost here in Washington. That the men on the team were giving their all was apparent in every game; and in some of them, many of our boys were obviously physically exha ' usted as they left the floor. There were times, too. when the fates were clearly against us. For game after game, points were already being counted, when suddenly the half-sunken ball would pop from th e basket. Top these handicaps with the injuries that plagued the team, when they were facing their toughest opponents, and the sterling calibre of the men who represented us on the court becomes quite apparent. A record of 19 wins and 7 losses is a credit to any team; and our boys reversed the decision against three of the teams that had previouslv beaten them. fllMI ' ' !, : BENICNI, POrOLlCCHlO, CORLEY 162
