Cagers Invade Washington
For Georgetown Skirmish
The ambitious Georgetown Hoyas, having won ten out of the
twenty games played so far this season, will attempt to move up from
the halfway mark tonight when they entertain the Nittany Lions in
the National Guard Armory at Washington, D. C. Playing a twenty
seven game schedule, the Hoyas were smacked down time after time
in their recent disastrous tour of
the Mid-West and South.
With a smaller but eaually dif
ficult schedule, the Lawthenmen
have also won half of the contests
played so far this season, and
both teams will be trying to com
plete their schedules on the black
side of the ledger.
Although the stellar Andy
Kostecka was dismissed from the
squad for insubordination, the
Georgetown team can rely on
Danny Kraus. All - American
guard for the last two years, to
provide the spark in the team,
SEASON RECORD
Georgetown started the season
this year with a red hot record of
six straight wins, but the long
road trip smashed their percent
age down to .500 as they were
handed six straight losses. The
most important of these were the
30-45 decision to Santa Clara and
a 89-77 topping by Notre Dame.
Returning home, the Hoyas took
Maryland 52-*l0: this, however,
was offset bs losses to Canisius
and LaSalle. After upsetting
Texas Wesleyan 48-37. the Wash
ington team slipped badly and
was swamped 51-70 by Holy Cross
and 36-87 by North Carolina
State.
Coach Larwther will start the
same team that took the floor in
the Syracuse game to try to boost
the squad’s record on foreign
floors. So far this year, the cagers
have triumphed only twice in the
six games played away from
home.
Whitey McKown and John Kulp
are slated for the guard posts.
Terry Ruhlman is listed for. the
center spot, and Jack Biery and
Milt Simon will handle the for
ward positions.

Around the Rim
When the Penn State basketball
team tangles with Georgetown to
night. the fray will be listed as,
the Nittany Lions vs. the Hoyas.
Almost everyone on campus
knows that the Penn State team
derived its name from the large
mountain lions that roamed the
surrounding hills, but very few
know how the Washington. D. C.,
team was given the strange name
of Hoya.
According to the “Dictionary of
Nicknames,” some years ago the
Georgetown rooters used a cheer
containing the Greek words Hova
Saxa, meaning hard as a rock.
The rest of the cheer dissolved
with time and just the Hoya re
mained to give the team its pseu
donym.
Perhaps the oldest nickname of
our hoop rivals is the trade mark
of the West Virginia squad. Moun
taineers. In 1891 the school adopt
ed the name in order to fall in
line with the name of the state.
Although most people think that
the Temple Owl is used to signify
wisdom, the reason that the col
lege decided to adopt the Owl as
its “nom-de-plume” is that, “very
few schools use this appellation.”
The last bison in the East lived
in the vicinity of Lewisburg; the
Bucknell athletic teams adopted
the animal for its standard.
Two other members of the cat
family, panthers and tigers, are
listed among the College oppo
nents.
