  Hoyas 10 Win by Close Score Or Lose by Big One, Says Margarita Coach Bob Margarita’s predicton about Georgetown’s football game at Boston College on Friday night is that either the Hoyas will win by very small margin or the Eagles will win by big score. Il don’t think we’ll lose a tight ball game. but if things start pop ping we’ll be in for it,” he said. The, Hoyas will leave by train On Wednesday night, giving them only two more days of real workouts here to get ready for the Eagles. With Coach Margarita and his staff it’s developed into a guessing game about the kind of offense Coach Denney Meyers will use. For their first three games, the Eagles primarily we’ve a passing team. That was some solace to the Hoyas because their pass defense is rather adequate ana then some. But last week against Mississippi the Eagles came up with an excellent ground game. George towns defense against that sort of attack has cracked occasionally this season and it is very possible they’ll see a lot of running plays in Boston on Friday night. B. C.’s record shows losses to Oklahoma and Penn State, a 1877 triumph over Wake Forest to COM pare with Georgetown’s 1876 over the same, plus last weeks 25–⁠25 deadlock with Ole Miss. The Hoyas figure it’s time they broke the Boston College jinx. Not since 1880, when they took a 20-l9 game, have the Hoyas topped the Eagles, although there’ve been a number of close ones since while the Eagles were running up a string OF eight victories. Last year Boston College won, 1877.
