Nominations have been closed for

team. Georgetown's Andy Kostecka
has been nominated and seconded
and as the secretary casts ballot
it's all ayes for Andy.

by hitting that figure last night as
the Hoyas handed Scranton Uni

the season, 61-31, in the Armory at
Carbondale, Pa.
The victory was three straight for
the Hoyas, who draw a tough assign

attempting to halt Fordham's six
game winning streak.
Kostecka, who won the plaudits of
q crowd of 5000 by scoring IS points
against Niagara Saturday night, re-
ceived a tremendous ovation from
5000 Carbondale fans last night as
he left the game midway in the
fourth period.
Scranton held the Hoyas to a IA

dropped nine points behind at the
half, and the second half was all

ley is a fast and smart one-hand
shooter.
Also an important player is 18-
year-old, 6-foot-31s Don Amussen.
Don is the last of four Amussen boys
who have made athletic history for
nearly 10 years at Landon. His
brothers, Girls, John and Bob, all
will be remembered as outstanding
basket ball and football players,
Girls particularly. Don is center
and especially good on pivot plays,
controlling the blackboard and on
tap-ins.
Teaming with Bogley in the for
ward positions is Don Harris, who
is an all-around good passer and
floor player He's generally not a
high scorer, hut he did come up with
IA points, including one basket 20
seconds before the end, that gave
Landon 2-point win over Sidwell
Friends last week. Other players
on the first five are Guards Tommy
Manfuso, who also was something
of a standout at football, and Garter
Bledsoe, only newcomer to the team
this year.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 28.-Attacks
by fans on officials of high school
basket ball games and free-for-all
fights that sometime follow have
increased so greatly this year that
they are worrying High School Ath-
letic Association officials throughout
the country.
Betting and overcrowding Of field
houses and gyms are to blame. in
the opinion Of L. v. Phillips, com
missioner of the Indiana High
School Athletic Association. who
has his own problems with crowds
threatening officials and even at
tacking players.
Something must be done to stop
this outbreak of poor sportsmanship
and the local officials must take the
steps," said Phillips, who exhibited
copies Of letters which associations
in two other States have sent to
their members.

owners found a certain satisfaction
in the feeling that they had the
rival All-American Conference on
the ropes. Mounting confidence in
Bells ability to govern the league
was reflected in the adoption of
resolutions giving him more power
especially in regard to gambling,
in ruling out post-season games for
both teams and individual players
and in clearer definition of terri
torial rights.
The rule prohibiting any league
team. or NFL affiliate from oper-
ating within rs miles of member
club, was the coup dgrace for Bal
timore if the Oriole City ever hoped
to join the loop. One thought
emphasized at this meeting was that
no team or individual connected
with the All-American Conference
ever will be accepted by the senior
circuit.
The pending bolt of Bill Daley
from Miami Baltimore to the Pitts
burgh Steelers, rumors OF Buck
Shaw's readiness to quit the San
Francisco 49ers and reports of more
Double-A stars, including Lee Artoe
Of the Los Angeles Dons, wanting to
return to the NFL filled the own
ers with a confidence bordering on
bragadoccio. No one at this meet
ing expects the All-America to sur
vive beyond another season and
the majority are unwilling to take
in Cleveland, the New York Yam
KEGS or any other team when and
if it folds.
The only real news as yester-
days session closed was the Chi
cago Bears trade of Fullback Dante
Magnani to the Rams for Mike
Holovak.

Central and Eastern Fives
Hard Hit by Graduations

Midyear graduations this week
will hit Central and Eastern the
hardest of any District public high
basket ball teams. Both lose two
first-string players. Anacostia drops
one regular, while the five other
teams escape unhurt.
Steve Manos and John Koustenis,
the two best men on the team,
leave Central this week. Eastern
drops Angelo Karadimos and Ken
Burns from the regulars and Sub
stitute Tommy Curro. Scottie Sill
vers, one of the two big boys on the
team, leaves Anacostia.
Because of graduation exercises
at Tech on Friday, the usual Friday
night double-h there this week
has been shifted to the afternoon,
with Western meeting Roosevelt and
Tech meeting Anacostia, starting at
2:30 O'Clock. The Saturday night
schedule remains unchanged.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 28.-
Charges of 'peonage and slave la
Dor" confronted professional base
ball owners today after a bill was
introduced in the Pennsylvania
Senate to outlaw the waiver clause
in all player contracts.
Seeking what he referred to as
emancipation" of organized base
ball, State Senator H. Jerome JAS
pan said his bill. introduced yester-
day, would permit players to be-
come free agents automatically on
termination of their present con-
tracts.
The Philadelphia Democrat de-
clared the measure, affecting only

he had been approached by gamblers

The district attorney said Grazi-
ano repeated his story in the pres
ence of Edward P. Eagan, chairman
of the New York State Athletic
Commission, who called a hearing of
the commission for Friday to con-
slider the matter.
The fighters only comment to re-
porters was, Believe me, it's all a
big joke"
Sol Straus, acting director of the
Goth Century Sporting Club, had
announced early yesterday that
Graziano, rated next to Joe Louis
as a fight gate draw, would begin
training Saturday at Greenwood
Lake, N. j., for the title fight with
Tony Zale..

which led to the fight cancellation,

Rocky Graziano admitted yesterday

in the Paris case, surrendered to
the district attorney after he had
been indicted on two counts OF
bribery and one of conspiracy in

Race Issue 10 Prevent
Hursey Go al UIine's S,
Armstrong Says
By GEORGE Huber

Hammerin' Henry Armstrong,
boxing's former triple champion,
now managing Middleweight Snug
gy Hursey of Washington and other
good fighters, announces his inten-
tion of pulling Smuggy out of the
scheduled fight against Billy Arnold
at Uline Arena on February 90. The
reason, Armstrong said last night,
is racial discrimination at the Arena
for some other events and the boy
colt against the arena by some Me-
gro organizations here.
"It's definite that we won't show
up on the 20th," Armstrong said last
night. If they won't release us from
the contract, we'll skip the fight
anyway" He said he planned to con-
tact members of the District Box
ing Commission today and ask for
q release from the contract he
signed for Smuggy's services. Fail
ing that, he said he and Smuggy
would just skip that engagement
anyway.
They may suspend me for it, but
I'll have to take it that way" he
said. Anything, even being barred
from boxing indefinitely, is better
for man in my position than hay-
ing anything to do with discrimina-
ton or segregation"
Although Armstrong fought at
Tline Arena three times himself and
signed a contract for Smuggy to fight
on the Goth, he said he didn't real
ize ''how serious the situation is"
until very recently. He said he had
been told that the boycott was of
and that the arena was not picketed
for its last fights. when came
down here this time I found that
the boycott still is very much on.
They didn't picket the last fights.
that's true, but it was because the
boycott is so effective that very few
Negroes go to the fights there now.
Il don't believe in discrimination
myself. I hate it, naturally. But also
I have certain position among
Negroes; I'm leader among my
people; the kids sort of look up to
me as a hero: I can't do anything
to hurt their cause. When I was here
last 1 made speech at Howard
University in which I said I was
against discrimination and that I'd
do all I could to fight against it. Now
how would it look if after that I came
right back and took my fighter into
place that practices discrimi-
nation?
II just can't do it. I'm sorry I
signed the contract. If they won't
release us, they'll have to suspend
us, because I promise you we won't
be there"
Meanwhile official sanction for
the Hursey- Arnold match on the
Goth was given yesterday by the
District Boxing Commission, which
at the same time turned down
Matchmaker Gabe Menendez on his
request for a show on January II.
the Monday preceding this match.

squawked, but said he does not plan
to go to court this time.

Facing More Trips;
Nose Out Virginia

George Washington University
students are referring to their bas-
ket ball team as "some out of town
club that is supposed to be in the
Southern Conference" From the
schedule to date it would be q bit
presumptuous to assume that G. w.
IS q District team or In the con-
ference.
The Colonials' 41-39 victory over
the University Of Virginia last night
at Charlottesville was their 18th
game, 10 of which have been played
on opponents courts. Although the
Colonials have won nine out Of IL.
their conference standing is no VIC
tories against two defeats.

After trip to the Kings Point

Thursday the Colonials finally will
settle down to fulfilling their South
ern Conference obligations. Start
ing with Washington and Lee Sat-
urday night at Roosevelt the Co.
lonials meet six loop foes in sue
cession, break it up with a game
with Georgetown and follow with
four more. Virginia pays a return
visit before VMI concludes the con-
ference card.
G. w. needs at least seven tri-
Umphs in its II remaining S. C.
games to qualify for the tournament
in Durham.
The Colonials play five OF their
next six games on the road. Then
with record of IS of their first 18
games on opponents floors, they play
eight straight at home.
Cantwell Supplies Punch.
Coach Art Zahn was thankful that
Bill Cantwell's ankle was well last
night as the Brooklynite supplied
the winning points against Virginia.
Cantwell pulled the Colonials from
behind three times in the second
half, the last time at 1864, for good.
Virginia made only II of Is free
throws while G. w. made II Of Is.
