Georgetown was the better team against Manhattan so long as the Hoyas could keep their first-stringers able-bodied, but as one key man after another was slowed by injury and how rough those Jaspers can be! or just plain tuckered down, Manhattan more and more assumed charge and in the end reserve strength decided the issue, 20–⁠12. Only a gallant Hoya spirit made it a contest after such stalwarts as Red Hardy, Tom Robinson, Jim Dooley, Bob Snyder and Jim Hill had absorbed too much punishment to function up to normal physically.
