battle to supplant Cleveland as the
Vests second-place team. Except
for a 36-second lapse of Washing
toms defense, the local team might
have won, for 1t carried the attack
continually to the maroon-clad
sextet from Chocolate Town. Su-
perb goal-tending by Nick Damore,
however, stopped all but one Of the
Lions many goal-bound shots.
Both of the Bears scores came
with surprising suddeness. After q
scoreless first period, Hank Lauzon
carried one into the Washington
net at 4:04 Of the second and SO
seconds later Jack Riley took q pass
from Frank Mario and Wycherly to
make it 20. Then, to pack the

In addition to being one of the

fist fight between Phil Hergesheimer
and Peggy ONeil. To all except
Referee Butch Keeling it was ap-
parent that Hergesheimer precipi-
tated the hostilities by deliberately
attempting to whack the Washing
ton player over the head. But when
O'Neil started to defend himself by
swinging his fists Keeling sent them
both off the ice with 10-lninute mis-
conduct penalties.
There weren't any other extra
curricula affairs, but players were
checking ccch oyl>cr, crashing into
the boards and sliding over the ice
throughout the game. Alex Sing
bush drew two 2-miaute hooking
penalties within a short time in the
second period and when he pro-
tested the latter by tossing his stick
at Keeling he also got 10-minute
misconduct.

FIashy Records Back
Bethesda, Fairfax,
To Till Tomorrow
Most Valuable Player
In Star's Meet to Get
Award After Come

The big finale of the girls high
school basket ball season around
Washington comes up tomorrow
night at Roosevelt court with the
championship game between Be-
thesda- Chevy Chase and Fairfax In
the windup Of The Evening Stars
annual interscholastic tournament.
The game will begin at Z o'clock.
Because Of the big margin by
which they topped st. Cecilia in last
weeks first round play-38-14-the
Bethesda lassies might be slight
favorites over their Virginia rivals.
but Fairfax is conceding nothing
and the game really rates as a
tossup. Mary. Louise Gregory, Fair
fax coach, held drills every day after
school last week and was to put
finishing touches on her squad this
afternoon.
Records Almost Identical
The teams will take almost identi-
cal records into tomorrow nights
title clash. Bethesda has won II
games and dropped only 2 over the
season, while Fairfax presents L.
and-1 record. There is no basis for
comparative scores rating, however,
as Bethesda did all It's playing In
Maryland and Fairfax operated in
Virginia, except in the first round OF
the Metro tourney last week when
It topped Bowie, 14-l2.
Aside from that game against
Bowie, Fairfax lassies have peen a
high scoring outfit all through the
season and have total Of 345 points
to 180 for opponents. In eight Of
their II games they more than
doubled the score of the opposition
and plan to carry through in the
same style tomorrow as means OF
proving their superiority. Ella
O'Roark is high scorer on the Vir-
ginia team, with Arlene Vernon and
Maxine Proffltt, a freshman, rated
as big aids.
Fairfax also has several outstand-
ing guards, who, although their
names do not get into the scoring
column, had much to do with the
teams successes this season. Capt
Peggy Mathers, Ethyl Childs and
Irene Taylor has been named by
Miss Gregory as her starting guards
for tomorrow night.
Players in Line for Award.
Bethesda. coached by Alice Nor
gan, can counter with another list
of scoring aces. led by Mildred
Stadtler, whose 10 points last week
was a big part of the margin run
up over st. Cecilia. Betty Milne
and Mary Dawson are other aces.
All these players are In line for
the award as the tournaments most
valuable player, to be voted by OFF,
cials at the conclusion of tomorrow
nights championship game. This
honor carries with it q trophy.
Trophies also will be presented to
the winning and runnerup teams, to
the winning coach and to individual
members of the championship team.
1t isn't necessary for q girl to
play on the championship team to
be named the most valuable. Last
year, for example, the vote went to
Patricia Mullen, member Of the
second-place Mount Rainier squad.
