Isl. John s-CoIfs Clash
tomorrow Is Tipoff
lon III Prospects

The holidays are over and high
school basket ball players go back
into action tomorrow or early next
week with final warnup games be-
fore the start Of the public high
championship series q week from
tomorrow night.
Right at the beginning Of the
1947 campaign tomorrow afternoon
comes what may be one Of the
years big games with st. Johns
playing at Coolidge. Both are ex-
pected to be close to or at the
top two months from now when
season records are tabulated, and
tonnorrow's contest Is real tipoff
on what's to come. The Johnnies
already have won three games with
not too much trouble and are look
ing forward to a big season. Cool
idge has played only one game,
against an alumni quint, which
beat it, 1928, but that hardly
counts.
The Colts, with only Bill Cannon
missing from last years interhigh
and metropolitan champions, are
listed as the team to beat for the
public high title. Coolidge has such
holdover stars as Bobby Rohr, Bill
Moulden. Bob Kleinknecht and Dick
Taylor. Taylor was sidelined with
a football injury when the alumni
beat the present crop Of Colts just
before Christmas, and his return
to action tomorrow may be the
spark to start Coolidge of as a
winner In 1947.
st. Johns, too, has a host of
well-known schoolboy cagers such
as Jack George, a Tech High stand
out last year; Brad Pusey, Lee
Ford, Vince Durkin and Bill Mar
tin.
Also scheduled tomorrow after
noon Is Hyattsville at Western,
while night game at Alexandria
brings up Portsmouth to play
George Washington High. Hyatts-
vile, Prince Georges County leader
last season, has mapped an am
bilious program this year, includ-
ing many games with ."city" teams
an tomorrow's contest may be the
tipoff on whether it can keep up
the fast pace 1t set while rising
to the top last year.

Sugar Bowl Fans Agog
Over Two Decisions
That Hif Carolina
BY Kris Kreeeer
Asseeioied Press Sports Writer

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. Sugar
Bowl talk today centered not around
the much-publicized Halfbacks
Charley Trippi and Charley Justice.
but about some official rulings which
puzzled q great many of the $4,000
who saw yesterdays football game.
North Carolina followers, particu-
larly, are vehement about a couple
Of decisions which might have made
o drastic difference in the 20-to-10
score by which the Georgia Bulldogs
beat their Tar Heels.
One of the latter involved lateral
pass on a play which set up Geor-
gias first touchdown. The other
had to do with an interference pen
atty nulifying a Carolina touch
down pass.
The first incident came midway
Of the third period, when Carolina
was leading, TO, and had driven
deep into Bulldog territory. Joe
Tereshinski intercepted pass from
Walt Pupa On the Georgia rs and
lateraled to Dick McPhee, who went
to the Carolina IA. Georgia scored
In three plays.
Lose Touchdown on Penalty.
But The Carolina players, and most
of the observers in the press box,
thought Tereshinsh had thrown the
ball slightly forward, which is
against the rules. In fact, one Of
ficial ran to the spot Of the toss
and stood there a moment. But
he didn't call the play back.
The other matter came after
Georgia had scored Its last touch
down and Carolina had marched
back to the Bulldog 20. Pupa passed
into the end zone where Carolina's
Ken Powell caught the ball as he
fell in a heap with Georgia's Rabbit
Smith.
But an official threw down his
handkerchief and gave the signal
for interference with pass receiver.
The penalty for interference by the
passing team is is yards from the
spot of the previous down; and the
referee put the ball back on the 35.
Carolinians, however, can't figure
how Powell interfered with Smith,
since he was standing in front of
the Rabbit and facing the oncoming
ball. Moreover, Powell was knocked
out on the play.
Many times it appeared the Of
hcials overlooked some rough stuff.
Once when Carolina's Justice had
punted Tereshinski was still rushing
him after the ball had stopped ROLL
ing. Often the spectators gave voice
to their disapproval of the oficiat-
ing.
Officials Seen Impartial.
Nobody claims the officials were
partial. However, it was a very
foggy afternoon and the game was
hard to see even from the press
box.
When the officials weren't stealing
the show from the halfbacks, the
linemen usually were. North Caro-
lna's forwards seemed to dominate
play for the first three periods. But
they weakened at the end, and
Georgia made its only scoring
march, for so yards. Most OF the
gains were through the middle
where the Tar Heels have been hurt
by injuries.
The Bulldogs other touchdown
came on a 13-yard pass from Trippi
to Dan Edwards, who ran so more
to score. - a. ,'.' -.-''' '''

TOTAL OF B MINERS NOW
 OUT SAFELY

WHITEHAVEN, England. Aug l6.- R-Three bruised miners, caught in an explosion which trapped 107 in an undersea coal mine, stumbled out alive today after 2l-hour ordeal and raised slight hopes for 50 miners still missing below.
 The National Coal Board an- nounced earlier that the bodies of 54 men had been located and said it had virtually given up hope for the other 53.
 The three blackened men emerg- ed from the mine, bringing to l3 the total of known survivors. They told officials they were some dis tance away when the blast shat tered the shaft of the l35-year-old mine stretching out several miles under the firth of Solway.
 Cut off from the pithead, the men scrambled to the mines farthest reaches to avoid deadly gas. They were met by rescuers as they made their way back, hours later
 The Coal Board said IF men, rather than 12l as previously an nounced, were in the mine. Ten miners escaped soon after the blast
 The 135-year-old mine is located just outside this grimy town of 20, 900 in Cumberland county. in northwest England.
 The blast was the fourth in British mines since the pits came under public ownership last Jan. |. The previous three killed 26 men. The biggest recent British mine disaster killed 58 at Stokes-on- Trent in l942, and the worst on record caused 436 deaths at Sem thenydd, South Wales. in 1913. Whitehaven's worst blast was in 1919, when an explosion in the Wellington pit, near the William mine, killed 136 men.
