6. W., on Same Floor
Only Twice in Season,
Beats Terps, 63-48
By MerreII WhittIesey

If enough George Washington
alumni could have heard Basket
Ball Coach Arthur Zahn in the
dressing room last night after the
Maryland game the Colonial grads
would be out ,scurrying for funds
for a field house today. Either that
or putting some pressure behind the
new armory.
When G. w. drubbed Maryland,
63-48, it YVES the Colonials' 18th
game of the season, but last night
was the first time Zahn's team had
played on the same floor twice.
Their 18 previous games had been
played on Is different floors of as
sorted sizes and shapes, none of
them, incidentally, similar to the
Tin Tabernacle where the Colonials
practice.
Game Rough, and Shoddy.
The ball game waxed bit rough
at times last night and judging by
the boos of the G. W.. rooters, they
thought Tommy Mont was at fault
for series of ungentle body slams.
The G. w. players found no fault
with Mont, they disclosed later, say
ing he was rough but clean, but
they didn't care for the tactics of
two other Maryland regulars they
did not name.
AS far as the basket ball was con-
cerned, both teams will have to
improve if they expect to get past
the first round of the Conference
championship tournament. The
game was replete with errors, par
ticularly wild passing, with only
Len Small of the Colonials con-
sistent with his set shots.
Rausch Sparkles Again.
George Washington's Jim Rausch
drove another tack toward the CO.
lonials' most valuable player honors
with the only 40-minute perform
ance of the night and a commend
able one. Rausch appears to have
an aH-District team berth sewed UP.
After Maryland jumped into a 60
lead, G. w. scored II points to two
foul shots by Maryland's Don
Schuerholz in the next six minutes
and the Colonials were in the van
from the 9-minute mark on. The
Terps crept within 4 and 6 points,
but G. w. always seemed to be in

NEW YORK, Dec. i2-tR-Joe Louis, who almost a year ago re- marked he wanted to retire in l948, was on record today as say ing he plans to call it quits after his return match with Jersey Joe Walcott.
 Lose, win or draw, jne light with Walcott in June is my last" the heavyweight champion told a Bronx home news reporter in an interview in his suite at an upper Manhattan hotel.
 Louis expressed confidence, how ever, that he would knock out Walcott next time.
 I'll be in better shape the next time" Louis declared, adding that he was very, very weak in the bout week ago when he won a disputed split decision.
 Joe said he realized early in the fight that he was not in shape when he was unable to work up a sweat. He said he should have weighed 2l4 pounds instead of 211 and blamed his poor condition on the fact he dried out" too stren- ucusly the day before the fight.
