Masters in Engineering
There is a listing in the GWU alumni directory for John G. Loehler. He received a Masters in Engineering degree in 1926. He appears to have played basketball only this one year. He was a center and received a University letter for his play while on the team.
The details of the basketball season are at the following Shorpy post about his teammate:

He appears to have been an engineer in the Washington, D.C. and Silver Springs, Maryland area from at least 1925 - 1958 and then retired to Florida sometime after this. He was married to Virginia and lived from July 26, 1902 to September 21, 1992.
The archivist for GWU assisted with some of this information.
