a
RALEIGH, N. c., March His
mates were singing song of praise
today to a young fellow who sings
and also plays basket ball. That
would be this fellow Preston West
moreland, who snatched a game out
of the fire for the South Carolina
Gamecocks last night and landed
the Birls in the final of the South
ern Conference tournament against
Dukes Blue Devils.
With the count tied at 36-all and
with four seconds to go, the high
scoring Gamecock center stood up
there cool as you please and dropped
in foul shot which gave the South
Carolinians a 37-36 victory over the
Cadets of Virginia Military Insti-
tute. The Gamecocks had trailed
nearly all the way and it was a
regular Hollywood finish.
Duke, which had such a spotty
regular season that II wasn't even
seeded in the tournament, won its
way into tonight's final by con-
vincingly beating the Sovereigns of
William and Mary. 57-42. Duke got
into the sernifinals bv defeating the
top-seeded University of North
Carolina Phantoms in the opening
nights thriller North Carolina had
finished its conference season with
IA victories against one defeat-and
that one defeat during the season
was handed out by those same Blue
Devils.
South Carolina. seeded No. 2, beat
Richmond, 41-32, in the opening
round.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
If their performance in the st.
Petersburg open can be used as
criterion, Sam Snead and Ralph
Guldahl should be a hard team to
beat in the $4,000 international four

Snead, combating a high wind,

Generals Convincing
In Repeat Triumph;
Tackle Gonzaga
Landon Ends Regular
Season With Victory
Over Montgomery

Makeup of The Stars inter-
scholastic basket ball tournament
beginning next Monday night at
Tech was completed today with the
insertion of Westinghouse of
Ballston into the list of eight out
standing teams ready to battle for
the Metropolitan Area title.
The Generals won the right to
represent Northern Virginia by de-
feating George Washington of Alex
andria last night, 31-18. 1t was the
second time Washington-Lee had
downed its traditional rival this
season. Both previously had de-
feated Fredericksburg and last
nights win for the Generals gave
them undisputed possession of the
Northern Virginia Big Three" title.
Landon Finishes With Victory.
Another Star tournament team.
Landon, turned in a satisfactory
victory yesterday, ending its most
successful regular season in years
by downing Richard Montgomery
OF Rockville, 27-21, for record of
16 wins against only four setbacks.
Both Landon and Washington-Lee
will play their first round tourney
games on Tuesday, Landon against
Roosevelt and the Generals against
Gonzaga
In taking their 14th victory of the
season last night, Washington and

giving the Presidents only 1 point,

Hoyos Bow to Fordhom,
Form One of Hurdles
For Colonial Quint

Georgetown's prospects of snatch
ing an invitation TO the annual sports
writer's basket ball tournament at
Madison Square Garden today
seemed dim but the Hoyas still may
determine whether George WASH
ington retains its outside chance
of making the grade in the same
tourney.
The HoyaS were blasted out of
consideration in dropping a 53-42
decision to Fordham last night in
New York, but If G. w. U. gets St.
Johns on Monday night at Riverside
Stadium, the Colonials' post-sea-
son aspirations doubtless will hinge
on their final regular season tiff
with Georgetown at the same spot
on Wednesday.
st. Johns now is being regarded
by several New York writers as the
smoothest club in New York and a
G. w. victory over that team would
hike the Colonials' prospects of
being admitted to the tourney.
Georgetown, though, can ruin it
all for G. w.
Georgetown grasped a 1920 half
time lead over the Rams, but Ford
ham started to sizzle midway in the
second session, locked the score at
33-all, then poured in nine straight
points to compile lead it never
reliquished.
Little Max Loeffier sparked Ford
hams attack with II points, while
jim Kiernan was high for the
Hoyas with nine. Irving Rizzi,
though, was more outstanding for
Georgetown with a neat floor game

after racing her with phenomenal
success.
Good News went after the Miami

a transatlantic race as far back

Stormy Weather in the subsequent

Stormy Weather, a 53-footer, has
a time allowance of more than

Ball Chaser Is Hired

Naturally, this is very tough on
Leland Stanford MacPhail, the
Brain of Brooklyn, a high-strung
man. L. S. MacPhail wants action.
On the other hand, he does not want
to pursue the pellets himself.
The Brain of Brooklyn has found
a solution to the problem, just as
we go to press. He has induced a
certain native to fetch the balls, for
q consideration. How he swung the
deal, no one is sure. There probably
is no truth in the rumor that the
native held out for 40 per cent of
the stock in the Brooklyn club.
Between you and me this man Is

a good trade. 1t helps the team,
and it gets the balls back. However,
Mr.. MacPhail is not having so much
luck with the ground-keeping prob

waiting for manana, which never,
