Perched in the Mason Dixon Con-

seasons finale with American q.
tomorrow night after bowling over
Bridgewater, 50-33, in a warm-up
tilt. The Eagles must win to gain
a place in the conference play-off.
The victory, gained despite the
loss on fouls of Capt. Mike Cherello
and Archie Panago, sent the Car
dinals ahead of the Eagles in the
conference standings with eight VIC
tories against seven defeats.
Catholic led at the intermission
29-17, and maintained its pace in
the final half, although Dick Scan
Ion, high scorer of the conference,
was limited to 5 points. Scanlon,
however, played an excellent floor
game, setting up innumerable scor-
ing plays for his mates. .

William and Mary.
Seedlings for the basket ball tour

formally at that time. The meeting
probably will be held here.
Assuming that Duke is seeded No.

To Second Round

By the Associated Press.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. T.-This
is an "if" story Of late arrivals who
might have been playing for a
Southeastern Conference basket ball
crown today had they started a bit
earlier.
It's the story of three 60-to-1 shots
and a dark horse, who scared the
daylghts out Of their top-ranked
opponents yesterday before going
down.
Tennessee, defending champion Of
the conference, beat Georgia's self
styled amateur" team, 62-50-but
only after the mighty Volunteers
had appeared just an average team
for three-quarters
Third-seeded Alabama gained a
1892 decision over Georgia Tech
but only after standing off a last
half rally in which Tech outplayed
and outscored the Tide.
Auburn, fourth-seeded and with
the two individual high scorers of
the conference in its lineup, barely
defeated a fighting Vanderbilt out
fit, 1864, in a ding-dong battle
which saw the teams deadlocked,
17-17, at half time.
Kentucky, runnerup last year to
Tennessee and short-odds favorite
to be next champion, bested Florida,
42-36-but only after the oft-beaten
Gators had put a sizzling hot-foot
to their Wildcat opponents, outplay-
ing them by a 3-point margin in a
last-half rally.
Rough going appeared in prospect
for the upper bracket favorites in
today's quarter finals. Tennessee
meets Mississippi States sensational
sophomore team and Alabama
squares off against Louisiana State,
winner of six straight games.
Auburn goes against Tulane in
the lower bracket, while Kentucky
engages last-place Mississippi.

Bladensburg, Prince Georges Com-

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-In the
locker room of the University of
Chicago basket ball team, which
is f1oundering in a Big Ten losing
streak now amounting to 80
straight games, some one last fall
pasted a cartoon clipped from a
magazine.
The drawing shows a perplexed
squad of athletes grouped around
their coach, hanging by his neck,
from a rope slung over a pipe.
Yet one player is pleading:
Come on, now, coach, we know
this is one of your psychological
tricks"
Nels Norgren, who coaches the
Maroons and hasn't seen them
win a Western Conference game
since 1910, passes by this sketch
daily, and he always smiles just
a little. For far from being de-
pressed by his teams inability

Norgren said today. "And I an

every game. Not as a team, Of
course-these boys simply aren't
complementary-but they have
their personal victories: In being
the nights high scorer, in turn

game on one of the Big Tens
best forwards"
His eyes scanned the squad of
high school-size cagers who
were practicing.
They're winning a great VIC
tory in discipline-not the dis
cipline of learning how to be
bawled out gracefully, or to take
orders, but the kind that comes
from setting yourself to a task
and seeing it through without
outside compulsion. They keep

Columbus at Tech High at $3.50 and

Meanwhile the attention of track

have attracted a group of Catholic
University entries in the non-con-

landers running in the title games;
and the National A. A. U. indoor

speedy mile relay team and shot

spotlight with the v. M. I.-G. w.

Maryland's well balanced track
squad will feature Duke Alexander,
6-foot '5-inch ace, in the high
jump-his speciality, as well as the
low hurdles and broad jump. In
these events he will be pitted against
North Carolina's Warren Mengel,
the one-man team, who also is
entered in the high hurdles.
The Terps' Stirling Kehoe, brother
of Jimmy, a regular star Of the
games during his undergraduate
years at Maryland, is entered in
the We'll Mile, won last year by
Tommy Fields, now serving as vol

Georgetown's mile team has its

Also from Maryland-and here comes
a natural rivalry-will be Bethesda
Chevy Chase and Montgomery Blair.
This time, however, when students
went to excess in expressing their
loyalty, the teams were restricted to
a single contest, which Bethesda
Chevy Chase won. Good conduct of
players and students alike at this
game caused school officials to relent
and permit the teams to play their
second game as part of The Star
tournament, honors in which annu-
ally is the goal of the quints of both
institutions.
The eighth team for the tourna-
ment, along with the pairings, will
be announced Sunday. -Four of the
teams listed are playing tonight,
q with Washington-Lee and George
Washington meeting at Ballston and
st. Johns and Gonzaga clashing at
Tech. Washington-Lee and ST.
Johns were winners in earlier games
against their traditional rivals, but
neither can feel assured of a repeat
tonight. If George Washington wins
to even the series against Washing
ton-Lee, the third and rubber game
will be played in the first round of
the Star tourney.
Schools to Split Profits.
The event will be conducted on
the same basis as in former years,
with proceeds going to the schools
involved. The tournament is bo-
nanza for too often-thin athletic
treasures. Tickets, priced at Is
cents each, plus Scent Federal
tax, are to be sold at each school
and the school will keep its proceeds,
with expenses being paid from cash
receipts. Any deficit is prorated.
Dates of the tourney will be
Thursday and Friday, March and
6, for first round games and Monday,
March 8, for the semifinals, with the
title game set for Wednesday the
18th. All games will be at Tech
gym, with a double-head slated
each night beginning at 7:30 o'clock.
The policy of awarding excellent
trophies will be continued. Star
Tournament Trophies are among the
most priced athletic possessions OF
Metropolitan Washington schools.
There will be the usual big trophies
for the winning and runnerup teams
and one for the outstanding player.
Members of the winning team will
receive individual trophies, nor will
