For Debut Tomorrow

Georgetown's tossers today were
primed for their debut against
,Idaho's tourists tomorrow night at
Uline Arena in game that marks
the return of big-time basket ball to
Washington.
The Pacific Coast Conference

loss on personal fouls in the last 8
minutes of play was an irreparable
blow. The sure-f1ngered forward
topped the scoring with IL points.
Coach Elmer Ripley of George

he came away with the impression
that the Hoyas can win tomorrow,
stressed the Importance of not un-

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 4.-Forty or
more presidents of minor league
clubs have adopted a resolution ac-
cepting the retirement of President
William G. Bramham, but are
agreed on keeping the car of lit
tie baseball as virtual president
emeritus.
The matter, an important one in

here, reached a semiclimax late last
night, and before the minors con-
cluoe their sessions on the floor

will act on the recommendation OF
the presidents Steering Commit

1--WE want Judge Bramham con-
tinued as consultant, and very
learned one, for the minor leagues"
said Tom Richardson of the East
ern League, who presided at the
presidents banquet after Bramham
retired from the closed session.
Salary Would Be Reduced.
Unofficially, Bramham's $4,000 a
year salary would be reduced to
$4,000 in his consultant's role.
Meanwhile, the George Trautman-
for-president drive gained momen-
tum as lobby gossip remained IN
favor of the Detroit Tiger farm ex-
ecutive to step into the venerable
Judges shoes.
Major league moguls sat on the
sidelines as the minors held the
spotlight, with their major sessions
slated to get under way tomorrow.
A few trades enlightened the pro-
ceedings, however. Manager Bucky
Harris of the New York Yankees
denied reports that Frank Crosetti
had been signed as coach, and
while not discounting the possibility
said:

and metropolitan championships last
season, and this years roster reads
the same as it did then, with one
notable exception.
Colangelo is missing only Bill Cam
non off his starting five. Cannon,
an all-around star, was unanimous
all-high choice last year. Dick Tay-
lor, his forward mate, is back along
with Bob Kleinknecht, tall center,
and Guards Bobby Rohr and Stan
King. That's not bad start. but
also around Is the No. reserve list
of Warren Maxim, Bill Witzel, Dick
Weir, Eddie Green and Dick Sturgis.
The crew won IT and lost only four
games last year, so there's ample
reason to tag it as the one to beat.
All the aforementioned players
aren't working out with the team
in early practices. Taylor, an all
high football end, is with the all
star gridders prepping for the game
later this month with an all-prep
outfit. King, too, is with that all
star grid crowd, as is Maxim. Cool
idge has only one game, that with
the alumni, before Christmas, and
the team will be at full strength by
then.
In addition to all these veterans,
Colangelo has a good addition in
Jess Houston, one of Roosevelt
Highs best players last season. Jess
transferred to Coolidge several
weeks ago and won't be able to play
until February l under new eligi-
bility rules, but he likely will break
into the lineup frequently there
after Maxim, incidentally, will
graduate in February, but otherwise
the squad will remain intact.
Just who will break into the start
ing five to replace Cannon hasn't
been decided. It's hard post to
fill. Colangelo may have one of
his guards, probably Rohr who is a
great competitor as he showed in
baseball and football this year, up
to forward, and replace him with
one of last years reserves in the
guard position
