|Cris|er Turns Down
|CaIifornia's S Offer
|0f Coaching Berth
By the Associated Press


BERKELEY, Calf, Feb. 13.-H
o. Fritz" Crisler has turned down
a tempting offer to take over the
head football coaching job at the
University Of California. p.
The Michigan athletic directors
decision to stay on as head man at
Ann Arbor was made known last
night in a telephone talk with
California's acting graduate man
ager, Brutus, Hamilton.
In asking that his name-which
headed the list of possible candi-
dates for the vacant California post
be withdrawn from consideration,
Crisler left the West Coach school
about where it was q month ago
in it's efforts to find a man capable
of restoring California's gridiron
prestige.
The dismal showing of the foot
ball team last fall brought things
to climax. The yowling Of dis
gruntled students led to the resig-
nation of Football Coach Frank
WlCklOrSC.
Hamilton was assigned to find a
p-fight successor and, after beat
ing the bushes for several weeks,
it was made known that California
preferred Crisler. Crisler. appeared
at Berkeley, spent few days look
ing things over and returned to Ann
Arbor to think 1t over.
Crisler has been conspicuously
successful at Ann Arbor, where he
has a lifetime JOB, but there seemed
no doubt he was tempted to come
West.
Due to Hamiltons earnest scout
ing, California will not have to start
from scratch again. Hamilton re-
marked that 1--WE have other con-
facts in mind" and that there might
be an announcement perhaps
within a week."

C. U. Faces G. W.; Navy Bids for National Renown
Near Capacity Crowd
Is Expected 10 See
UIine Tilt Tonight

Unbeaten out of town but abused
/ in their own back yard, Georgetown
University's potentially great Hoyas
will attempt to salvage one victory
in three games with their major
local rivals in return engagement
with George Washington tonight at
Uline Arena.
Game time is $3.50 o'clock, Is min
utes earlier than previous George
town home games.
Although the Colonials won the
first meeting, 45-37, without High
Scorer Bill Cantwell, that victory
does not insure them of the favorite's
role tonight. Local college basket
ball has been unpredictable to the
point where specializing on the out
fcome of a G. W.-Georgetown game
is asking for trouble.
Both Teams Erratic.
II the Colonials hit the peak of
previous triumphs over Navy, George
town or the Maryland game of this
week, they figure to win, but if they
play as they did against Washington
and Lee or William and Mary last
week, they figure to lose. It's the
same with Georgetown. The Hoyas
can win on the form they displayed
against Western Kentucky or in
some OF their out-of-town games,
but most certainly will lose If they
fall to the depths they hit against
Fordham, Penn State or N. G. State.
Georgetown retained its perfect
record on the road last night by
coming back to hand La Sale its
fifth defeat in 10 games, $3.50, in
overtime before a crowd of $500 in
Philadelphia's Convention Hall.
The Explorers previously had beaten
North Carolina, Temple and st. Jo-
seph's in overtime.
Danny Kraus, Georgetown's bril-
liant guard and playmaker, did not
play last night against La Sale, but
he may return to action tonight If
| his sprained ankle holds up. Andy
Kostecka, out the last 10 days, came
back with a 22-point performance
and divided the overtime scoring
with Ray Coley.
Title Picture Clouded.
The mythical District title is
somewhat at stake tonight. al
though regardless Of the outcome
the picture will be clouded. G. w.
has beaten Georgetown and split
with Maryland. The Terps split
with G. W., but beat Georgetown
with Cross and Kostecka out, which
was a cheap victory. Georgetown
has lost one game to both.
Tonight's. meeting is George
Washington's home game, which
means the G. w. students will be
admitted free, but Georgetown stu
dents must pay. A near capacity
crowd of 5000 is expected. Enter
tainment will include music by
bands of both schools and half
time show arranged by G. WIS Bob
Duncan.
The Colonials will be at full
strength and will start Bill Cantwell,
Phil McNiff, Jim Rausch, Len Small
and Don McNary with Art Cerra,
surprise star of the first meeting,
Big Barry Kreisberg and Ed Gustaf-
son ready for immediate call. If
Kraus is available G.. U. will have
it's top team, including Kostecka,
Ray Corley, Ed Brembs and Tommy
OKeefe.
In all games this season G. w. has
won IA and lost 5, and Georgetown
has won IL and lost 6.

There's college basket ball team
lust IS miles from here that you can
watch for absolutely free on
Wednesdays and for the small pay
ment of SO cents on Saturdays that
definitely is one of the best In the
country-yesterday it probably was
the best.
That would be an underpublicized
and underrated Navy team that
snapped West Virginia's 12-game
winning streak and ran its own to
10 straight with a 57-55 triumph
one that sent the Midshipmen to
such hysterical peak that they
carried the coach and captain of
the floor on their shoulders.
In it's third game of the season
Navy lost to George Washington
(43-38) and the Middies have been
battling uphill for recognition since
that time. They are near the top
nationally now. After West Virginia s
defeat, Duquesne is the Nations only
unbeaten team.
ClamOf IOr ACLcnGlOM.
Navy made its first bid for major
recognition in a two-game trip In
which they beat the 1-2 teams in the
Eastern League, Columbia and
Princeton. Later they played North
Carolina and Duke, rated tops in the
Southern Conference, and won those
two, beating Duke by 13 points on
it's home floor. Now that the Middies
have dumped the Mountaineers
from the unbeaten ranks and own
12-won and 1-lost record for the
season, they are clamoring for at
tention.
Ben Carnevale, tall, ex-New York
U. star whose prematurely gray hair
is crew cut, is coaching Navy for the
first time in his third year as college
court mentor. In two years at North
Carolina, Carnevale's teams won 81
and lost 10, led the conference stand
ings twice and last year advanced to
the finals of the NCAA.
Carnevale, taking a page from
other coaches who have had once
beaten seasons, yesterday said the
beating by G. w. was the best thing
that has happened to his team this
year. 'I never want an unbeaten
season." he said; "too much pres
sure on the boys. We were begin
ming to think we were pretty good
when along came G. w. and knocked
some sense into us. Since that
game we have been pretty good"
Shugart Gets 20 Points.
The main reason that Navy has a
good team is 5-foot-9 Ken (Sugar)
Shugart, who unquestionably is the
best college courtman I've seen this
year, and they say his performance
yesterday was no flash. Shugart
played 40 minutes and followed the
ball closer than the FBI dogs a
kidnaper. In addition, he set up the
Navy plays, was the guiding hand,
dribbled through and around West
Virginia's best defensemen, inter-
cepted at least a dozen passes, cap
tanned the team and with tantaliz-
ing one-hand shot scored 20 points.
Shugart made the All-East team
last year and starred in the inter-
sectional al1-star game in Madison
Square Garden. This year his hon.
ors should be greater.

juggling some figures when they say
Navy is small. The Middies have two
