EORGETOWN'S winning streak against Navy was snapped, Catholic Univer- sity lost its fourteenth consecutive game, Maryland van- quished another prized foe, North Carolina, and George Washington was upset by Salem, thus giving the basket ball fans plenty to chatter about today. Counting a freshman victory in 1926, the Hoyas had beaten the Navy three years in a row, and yesterday's 37-20 triumph of the Middies at Annapolis was sweet, It was given a dash of sac- charine by the bitterness of the com- petition. Freddy Mesmer, little Hoya guard, was banished by Referee Bren- nan of Baltimore “for conduct unbe- coming a college player,” the arbiter caring not at all for some of Mesmer’s comment. In a sense, Georgetown beat itself. The Middies were given 23 chances from the foul line and made good on 15. Once a foul was called on the entire Georgetown bench. In another instance the Navy got two free shots when Georgetown players encroached on the line while the enemy was making penalty tosses. Georgetown had 12 opportunities from the charity strip and converted three into points. It was a poorly played game, but ex- cmnT and the gallery of 5,000 at times Wwas in an uproar. Navy held a 23-11 | advantage at recess, and after eight minutes of the second half had a Jead of 31-18. At this point Mesmer and the referee had it out, and the crowd ’m;hed in. e excitement apparently upset the Middies and inspired Gecrgeww‘l,’:eAny- way, the Hoyas, with Shea leading the attack, drew within 4 points, while the Middies were missing some easy shots. Georgetown outscored its foe by 4 points in the second half. To- ward the finish the roughness abated and after the final whistle there were handshakes all around.
