I'm trying to imagine what qualified as trash talk in 1945.

It was probably just some on-court incident. But there is perhaps another possibility. As many know, during WW2 Bucknell served as a training center for future Naval officers, a number of whom played sports while they were at BU. It was known as the V-12 Navy College Training Program. And Villanova was a training center for enlisted men to become Army officers while pursuing their college education. So maybe the fight was an Army-Navy thing?
