Crown
By OSCAR FRALEY

NEW YORK. March 26 lUP) -
The Fighting Hoyas of Georgetown
University held the Eastern NCAA
ba sketball championship today as
result of an upset triumph over
DePaul of Chicago and looked for
ward to meeting the western cham
pion for the National Collegiate
crown.
The Washingtonians came from
behind with a laSt-half rally before
14,085 persons at Madison Square
Garden last night and then, minus
their scoring star, fought off the
Chicago district champions for SO
to 49 triumph.
Big John Mahnken, the Hoyas'
SiX-foot, eight inch, center, had
spanked the rally which overcame a
1928 half-time deficit but then,
with 10 minutes remaining to play
and Georgetown only four points
ahead of the favored Blue Demons,
Mahnkcn was evicted for COM
mitting four personal fouls while
racking up II points. Two battling
boys from the Bronx, husky Danny
KrauS and blonde Billy Hassett,
then lifted the Hoyas by their
ShoclaceS and carried them to vic
tory. They handcuffed John big
Mike) Mikan, DePauls scoring ace,
and matched the Blue Demons
point all the way to the final
whistle.

ability. He is mighty short on them
BOW and unless William Cox, the
rhillics now owners come up with
a group of strengthening deals,
there doesn't seem any hope that
the club can rise out of its ac-
customed cellar position.
PREDICTED RISE
When Cox first took over the
Phillies he predicted rise to sixth
place this season. Later he reiterat-
cd that prediction at a time when
there are only 20 players on the
cubs roster. Not more than hall
. dozen of these can be classified
as major leaguerS, and even that
is giving some of them the benefit
of the doubt.
Some baseball men feel the Phil
lies will be lucky to win 40 games If
they have to get along with what
they've got.
Harris has five outfielders, four
infielders, one catcher and ten
pitchers on his roster, five short OF
the major league player limit and
Murphy, a rookie probably won't
bc around much longer because of
The draft.
OF those 10, 10 were with the
team last year, one of them, Chuck
Klein, as coach.
This year Klein is listed as one of
the outfield candidates, but he no
longer is up to full-time service
and probably will be used only oc-
casionally.
The outfield will be built around
Dan LitWhiler, one of the better left
fielderS in the league. Earl Naylor,
who also did some pitching last
year, Klein, Ron Northey, who was
with the club last season, and Paul
Busby, back after years retire
mcnt, are the other garden candi-
dates.
When Murphy goes, there will be
only three infielderS left - Babe
Dahlgren at first, Danny Murtaugh
at second or short and Merrill May

Stillman's gymnasium and watched
his young Negro lightweight, Ike
