Coolidge vs.. Gonzaga,
Wilson VS.. 6. W. on
Tap for Tonight
By George Huber

The crucial semifinal games in
The Stars 14th annual metropoli-
tan interscholastic basket ball tour
nament come up tonight at Ritchie
Coliseum, University of Maryland,
with the winners to clash in Sat
urday nights payoff contest.
Schoolboy basket ball at its best
will be presented with Coolidge
meeting Gonzaga at 7:30 and Will
son playing George Washington
at 8:45. All showed they are at
the peak by winning flrst-round
games Monday and Tuesday nights
by margins ranging from 6 to 13
points against classy opposition.
Past performances should have
George Washington and Coolidge
as favorites. The Presidents and
Tigers met twice during early part
of the regular season, with G. w. q
winner both times but by only one
point in the last game. Wilson has
some long way since then, though,
and 1t wouldn't be much of an up
set if it won tonight. With such
players as Gene Taylor, Art Scrib-
ner and Bob Hartshorn, the Tiger
quint is a threat at all times.
Presidents in Top Trim.
The Presidents will present a
number of potent players also. Fac
ing the Northern Virginia cham
pions are Billy Harris, Bill Rorer
and Tommy Kelly, and with these
boys in fine fettle Coach Rasty
Doran not only hopes to take the
Metropolitan title but the Virginia
championship as well when that
event comes up next week.
Coolidge was a 36-29 winner over
Gonzaga when they tangled 10 days
ago, ending the Eagles 11-game
winning streak. Gonzaga Graves re-
venge for that one, and nothing
would please the Eagles more than
to get it by knocking Coolidge out
of the tourney tonight. Coach Joe
Kozik figures his quint can do it
too, particularly if his two Irish
scoring aces, John O'Keefe and Pat
O'Neill, are right"
The Colts, though, are determined
to add the Metro crown to their
District public high championship,
and Bill Cannon, Dick Taylor. Bob
Kleinknecht. Stan King and Bob
Rohr, who form Coach Julian Col
angeles starting five, plan to pour
on the pressure right at the start
and maintain it throughout.
Judges Face Tough Task.
With such players as these in
action tonight, tough job faces
the committee which is picking the
tournaments outstanding player to
receive a special trophy. The COM
mittee consists of Charles (Pop)
Wannan, AL Vogt and Tony Latona,
all good judges of basket ball talent.
The trophy for the outstanding
player will be presented Saturday
night after the finals when the
numerous other awards also are
made, with DR.. H. c. Byrd, presi-
dent of the University of Maryland,
doing the honors. Awards also will
go to the outstanding girl player,
to the winning and runnerup teams
in both the boys and girls divi-
sions, and to winning coaches.
Members of winning teams will re-
ceive gold basket balls, while run
nerup players will receive silver
balls.

coach to be signing, especially at school that
hasn't played football for several years and which
is starting anew. In few weeks it will be time
Tor spring practice, but unless Stanley brings a
squad or the nucleus OF squad with him, his
preliminary training is apt to be curtailed indeed
Another little headache-although one that
can be surmounted-is George Washngton's per-
petual need for space. wherein the Colonials have
their own practice field, if not stadium, and
held house for indoor work Stanley who was
head coach at Brown for three years prior to en-
tering the Navy, will have to herd his squad down
to the Monument Grounds as did Jim Pixlee and
Bill Reinhart before him, and there he will have
about as much privacy as goldfish in bowl on

Rogers is the eighth member of
the Old Line mitt squad to be

Also adding to the Cardinals
chances is the fact that Bill Filbert,

Special Dispatch 10 The sior

RALEIGH, N. c., Feb. 2S.-The
cream of Southern Conference court
talent was primed for the annual
championship tournament opening
this afternoon at the municipal
auditorium, but Maryland and
George Washington, the Capitals
area standard bearers, seemed to
have come for the air.
George Washington, which has
undergone a face-lifting job since
the beginning of the February
semester, seemed to have the better
chance of sticking around. Some
observers concede Coach Art Zahn's
crew a good chance of reaching the
final if this afternoon it hurdles
Virginia Tech. the team G. w.
whipped to win its tournament invi-
tation. Maryland drew North Caro-
lima on tonight's program.
Big Barry Kreisberg, a smooth
operator on the pivot, Johnny Moi
fatt, freshman from Tech, and
Ted Reichwein are regarded as the
key figures in the Colonial attack.
It's doubtful if the G-street crew
can make it with any one of them
off key.
Maryland admittedly is behind the
eight-ball with two of its regulars
incapacitated and Jack Flynn in
voluntary retirement. Of their
victory over Duke and 2-point de-
feat by North Carolina the Old
Liners had figured to have the best
chance of capturing the crown they
have not held since Bozie Berger,
Ed Ronkin and that great crew
claimed it at Atlanta some Is years
ago.

from an attack of pneumonia, and

ORLANDO, Fla, Feb. 28.-A
scorching line drive off the bat of
an insignificant Davidson College
baseball player cost Pitcher Rae
Scarborough $12,500 and a job with
the New York Yankees, but that
same liner worked as a charm for
the Mats. 1t belted Rae into Wash
ington's farm system.
Scarborough was hurting for
Wake Forest and was a promising
pitcher, but he was eager to obtain
his degree before accepting the
Yankee bonus.
Rae was graduated cum laude,
but the blow he had taken in the
Davidson game brought on a sore
arm and the Yankees lost interest
in him. So Rae found himself a
high school teacher of chemistry
and biology and semipro pitcher
on the side.
Finally, in 1910, he signed Chat
tanooga contract. In 1941 he won
% games and lost 10 with Selma
Ala, of the Southeastern League and
compiled an 8-4 record with Chat
tanooga in 1912 before he was called
to the Mats. He won two games
and lost one for the Mats that year,
and in 1943 won four games and lost
four.
Rae arrived" in 1943.
When Rae left to join the Navy in
August of 1945 he was stamped as
the Mats best pitcher. According to
Catcher Jake Early, Scarborough
"had as much stuff as anybody ir
the league" and he was getting il
over the plate. Only shortly before
he became an ensign did Rae really
click. But there was no mistakinf
the fact that, in baseball parlance
he had arrived"
The record doesn't display 16
inning games he lost to Detroit ant
the Athletics on the miscues Of hi
mates. It doesn't show that Ra
finally won a 13-inning game for nj
first victory. He was pitching II

handlers bothered his 'southpaw
swinging more than the righthand-
ers, but says it doesn't make any
difference in the case of Cecil
Travis. Travis hits to right, left
or center" says Joe, against all
types of pitching"
Pitcher Roger Wolff, a righthand-
er, says he has less trouble with Ted
Williams, a lefthanded hitter, than
he does with Joe Di Maggie, a right
handed hitter, although Williams is
rated superior slugger.
Manager Os Bluege says he be-
lieves the Mats will see procession
of lefthanded pitching, but he isn't
inclined to fret about it. "If we
see enough of it," says Ossie, well
wind up hitting the lefties better
than the righthanders.''
So-there it is. The solution, as
Griffith indicates, is nestled in
waiting to see what develops.
