Heath has returned to the Cleve-
land Indians his flrst-proffered

SYRACUSE, N. Y, March g.
Salvatore (Totts) Mirabito out
pointed Maryland's len Rodman for
his 3oth consecutive win tonight,
ending one Of college boxings
greatest careers by capturing the
Eastern intercollegiate heavyweight
title for the third time, as his Syra-
cuse University ringmates walked
away with team honors.
The Orange boxers set two records
In amassing 80 points and snaring
six out Of eight individual titles as
they hammered out their sixth
championship in the 20th annual
event.
Other team ratings were: Penn
State IL, Coast Guard 8, U. s. Mill
tary Academy 8 and Maryland 6.
M1rabttos swan song In the ring
was devoid OF thrills. The taller,
leaner Rodman absorbed some heavy
punches, but was never In serious
trouble and countered with some
telling blows that had Toots backing
away and shaking his head. But
Toots connected more often.
Maryland lost out In another final
when Tom Jones, 135-pounder,
dropped close decision to Ben
Sgroi Of Syracuse. This also was q
good fight.
The tussle between sgroi and Tom
Jones Of Maryland produced the
hardest fighting. Jones dropped the
Syracusan to the canvas with left
to the face early in the second
round, but Sgroi came back to stag
ger the Marylander with a solid
right to the face. and had Jones
groggy in the final round.
Jones and Rodman reached the
finals in the afternoon tilts at which
time Syracuse sewed up the crown
by placing six men in the title bouts.
While Jones and Rodman were win
ming, Maryland was losing Basil
Kambouris, 127-pounder, who was
decisioned by Bill Wallace Of the
Coast Guard.

the previous record Of 3Sl/1o points
piled up by Pennsylvania's 1881
championship team.
But, without taking any OF the
credit away from finely rounded
squad Of Violets. the big thrills for
the slim crowd of about 5000 were
turned IN by couple Of cole
gians from other schools. Chief Of
these were board-burning Burn
ham and Bill Vessie, Columbia's
co-holder of the National AAU high
Jump title. Vessie dethroned New
Hampshire's Richmond Morcom and
then went on to an IC-4A indoor
record Of 6 feet ~ inches-the
only competitive record posted dur
ing the night.
The big bang" of the night,
naturally, was Burnham's sizzling
struggle in the last 40 yards with
Dixon to take the mile by inches
after the two had loafed through
the first three-quarters. As q re-
suit, although they tipped through
the last quarter In 588 seconds,
their time for the full route was q
mild 4:162.
Dixon's tactics in taking his time
through the first eight laps Of the
11-lap trip were just what the doc
tor would have ordered for Dart
mouth Don, who turned in his first
major victory of the season.
AS they rounded the first turn
in the final lap, they were hooked
up, elbow to elbow, with Burnham
on the outside. AS a result, there
was more than little pushing and
showing as they fought for the pole
all the way round.
With N. Y. U. dethroning Penn
State for team honors, three Defend
ing champions held on to their titles
during the proceedings.
Virginia's Tom Todd skipped over
the 60-yard hurdles In "a to keep
his crown; Morcom was an easy
pole vault winner and Fordham's S
2-mile relay team kept up Its chief
habit by grabbing of its speciality
for the fourth straight year. Mar
com, although failing to retain his
double crown, by finishing third in
the high jump, still was the nights
individual top scorer with IL points.
Big surprise of the meet came
when Glenn Masten, a dark horse
from Colgate, closed 20 yards in the
final quarter LAP with Whirlaway
finish to grab OH the 2-mile run
In 9:258 and dethrone Yale's Roy

RALEIGH. N. c., March g.
George Warrington University's
basket ball team reached the peak
Of its effectiveness here tonight at
the proper time, streaking into
comfortable carly lead and never
relaxing to wallop Duke, 56-40, and
capture its first Southern Confer
ence championship.
On the wave Of Is successive
points manufactured In less than s
minutes George Washington swept
into a commanding 21-6 lead, then
bounced back to win going away
after Duke had reduced the Colon
ials' advantage to 1926 early in
the second half.
Heavily-favored Duke, q marked
choice following G. WIS sQueaky
47-40 overtime victory over Davidson
in the seminal round, wasn't
caught OF form. The Blue Devils
simply ran into q team that was
due to come up with q brilliant
game and which did just that.
Colonials Are Perfect.
The Colonials could do no wrong.
Jimmy Rausch, with 16 points, and
Ed Gustafson, with IL, were G. WIS
leading scorers, but contributing
strongly to the victory also was the
ball-hawking tactics Of burly John
Koniszewski and the smooth pass-
Ing Of Joey Gallagher and slim Bob
Groetzinger. Duke, striving for q
third straight conference champion
ship and winner Of 10 Of ~ previous
games, spurted into b 6-3 lead as
John Seward whipped In two field
goals, and Cedric Lofts obtained
another. Then, though. q. w. lit
orally brought the $500 fans out Of
their seats with an amazing scor.
ing exhibition.
The Colonials grasped the lead as
Koniszewsd registered from under
the basket and 0ustafson made good
on . follow shot. That 4-6 lead
soon zoomed to 21-6 proportions,
with every member Of the q. w.
team figuring In the squirt, and q. w.
left the floor at half time with .
500 lead.
Duke wasn't whipped, or ut least
wasn't willing to admit it. Garland
Lofts, Bob CAN'T and Gordon Car
ver quickly collected field goals start
Ing the Aeoond hal1 and the
;Gc1oniaa1f adSantage was sliced to
30-16: ..,. q
s Rausch Again Splurges.
The Blue Devils appeared likely
to rise, but the Blond Rausch, whose
set shot In the final seconds Of reg
ulatton time against Davidson sent
the game into an extra period that
enabled G. w. to reach the final
round, quickly collected 4 field goal
and q foul shot and GALLAGHER
boosted the Colonials into q 1926
lead with q set shot.
Seward rammed home two points
on q pivot toss,. but Rausch and
Koniszewsd rapidly registered 4
field goal each and the Colonials
owned . 1923 margin with 10 min
utes to 60. Again the surprising
G. w. team waxed hot, running the
score to 49-32 with only flve minutes
remaining. From there on it merely
was q matter Of waiting for time to
run out. G. w. thus closed its reg
ular season with q It's record and
by Its victory tonight retains q slim
chance OF receiving . bid to either
the National Invitation or the NCAA
tourney in New York later this
month. Duke, prior to its defeat
tonight, was considered certain to
play In one Of those events.
