Caps Garry 15-Game
Win Streak Into Biq
Battle With Knicks

Washington's Capitols, hoasting
a 15-game winning streak and an
average of 10 points game, face
the long-awaited test with the New
York Knickerbockers tomorrow
night at Uline Arena.
The Knicks, 81 games behind
the Caps in the Eastern Division
of the Basket Ball Association OF
America, were idle last night, while
the Caps were mastering the Provi-
dence Steamrollers, 1856, before
4,808 fans, the largest Providence
crowd of the season.
Ladies night, usually featured by
the Caps on Saturday evening
games, will be suspended tomorrow
night because of the widespread
demand for tickets, but will be re-
sumed later.
The return of Capt. Bob Feerick
to the Caps lineup following a
brief rest occasioned by an ankle
injury proved fatal to the Rollers
as the. former Santa Clara U. star
dropped in 81 points, high for the
game, while Fred Scolari and Irx
Torgoff each accounted for is.
The Caps had 20-18 lead at the
end of the first period, but at inter-
mission were in front by comfort
able 1926 count.
The victory gave the Caps total
of LOSS points for their 15-game
streak for an average of almost a
point and half minute.
In other league contests last night
the st. Louis Bombers took tighter
grip on the Western Division lead
by downing the lowly Detroit Fal-
cons, 55-51, in st. Louis and the
cellar-dwelling Ironmen from Pitts
burgh lost their 10Th game OF the
season to the Philadelphia War
riors, 53-46, in Philadelphia.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Stan Mu-

World Champion st. Louis Cardl-
nails have new reasons to ask owner
Sam Breadon for more cash in l947
TODAY after publication of the ofn-
cial National League slugging ana
runs batted in statistics.
Musial, the batting king with a
1865 average, added the slugging
championship to his '46 accomplish
ments, clubbing the opposing pltch-
ers for a .587 mark on the basis OF
366 total bases for 624 at bats.
As the talented first sacker from
Donora, Pa. already had monopo-
Iized the averages by leading In
runs. hits, singles, doubles and
triples among others, it was not dlf-
ficult to understand why he was
named the most valuable player IN
the league. The mystery OF one
committee member placing MN
ninth still was unsolved.
1t was the third time n Il had
taken the slugging crown, having
won previously IN I943 dilu 1877
before entering the Navy.
Slaughter's Bingles Tell.
Slaughter's 13o runs batted in told
a large share of the Cards success
story, rejecting the real Importance
of his 300 batting mark. The
hustling slugger, who electrified the
crowd with his dash from first to
home on Harry walkers double in
the last World Series game, kept
the Birds in the race with his timely
base hits. His slugging average was
.465, fourth among the regulars
behind Musial, Johnny Mize of New
York. .578, and Del Ennis of the
Phillies, .485.
Dixie Walker of Brooklyn, who
won the uns-batted-in champion
ship a year ago, was second with
1l6. and Musial had 1903, good for
third place.

Oregon State Tossed
From Unbeafen LIST
|By Long Island
BY the As.oeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.--Oregon
State is the latest major college
quintet to quit the ranks of unbeat-
en- teams following its $3.50 defeat
by Long Island U. in the first half
of an intersectional double header
at Madison Square Garden before
1922 fans last night. The setback
was the Beavers first after 10
straight triumphs against West
Coast independents.
In the opener and more exciting
struggle, New York U. gained some
revenge for its unexpected defeat by
Oregon last Monday by dumping
Colorado, 7O-59. It was the fourth
win in five starts for the Violets
and the third consecutive defeat for
the Buffalos, who were runners-up
to wyoming in the Big Seven Con-
ference last winter. Colorado has
vet to win this season, having been
beaten by Temple and San Fran
cisco.
Oregon State, off to a poor start
opened the second half trailing by
IA points, Silt, but started to click
late in the period to pull within
points at the middle mark. L. I. U.
led by Dick Holub, who scored "a
points, pulled away to an 11-poin,
margin, but the Beavers closed fast
to cut the Blackbirds' lead almost lr
half.
Although N. Y. u. never was
threatened seriously after the first
two minutes when it trailed, So
the Bnnaloes never stopped trying
Behind II points at the half, the
Buffaloes twice neared to within
nine points, but a nine-point scor-
ling spree midway in the second
half ended any hopes Colorado hao
of winning. The spree gave the
Violets . 20-point lead, 1929, ano
enabled them to coast the rest OF
the way.
Lee Robbins of Colorado, who
failed by one to tie the garden rec
ord for foul shooting, led the scorers
of both teams with 70 points on
seven baskets and eight free throws
Ray Lump paced the winners with
18 points.
The game was enlivened by =
personal encounter between Robbins
and Don Forman of N. Y. U.
minute before the final buzzer
Robbins, who had drawn Is foul'
against him, an unusually higf
total, took exception to the last one
administered by Forman just as HI
was scoring the last Of his % points
He leaped at Forman who had fallel
to the floor and the two startes

/ Players of both teams cam
streaming out on the court, but tn
ofiicials quickly stepped in and re
stored order. The upshot was tina
Forman was banished from th'
game and Robbins was given tw
