Lewis accepted Grifith's terms,

Griffith, whose esteem Of Lewis
borders on q father son relationship,

10 Colts Late Spult;;
| Bethesda Girls Win
BY George Huber

For the second straight year Cal
vim Coolidge High School wears the
metropolitan schoolboy basket ball
crown. The Colts, also two-time
holders Of the District public high
title, successfully defended their
championship by topping st. Johns,
the Catholic school titlist, 1928, in
last nights windup of The Evening
Stars 18th annual invitation tour
nament.
A crowd of $500 was on hand at
the University of Maryland's Ritchie
Coliseum to watch the Colts tri-
umph with third-period surge that
broke q 1915 deadlock. In the
girls game preceding the boys final,
Bethesda Chevy Chase lassies re-
versed last years outcome by de-
throning Washington-Lee, 35-19.
The Baronettes were ahead all the
way.
Outstanding player awards went
to Dick Taylor, Coolidge captain,
and Anne Fenton, Bethesda co-cap-
tain. Both selections were popu-
lar with the large crowd. Jack
George of st. Johns also received
consideration from sportswriters
who made the boys selection, while
Mary Louise Hook of Bethesda and
Louise CARRIER Of Washington-Lee
were mentioned by referees who
made the girls choice.
Pyle Makes Presentations.
The presentation Of awards fol-
lowing the tourney was made by
Thomas Pyle, principal of Bethesda
Chevy Chase High School, the only
school which has been represented
in all Is Star tournaments.
The boys game was featured by
tight guarding and deliberate play,
particularly in the first half, and
both teams had to work for every
point. The Johnnies had 4-3
f1rst-period lead of scores by Jack
George and Lee Ford, but in the
second Coolidge began hitting. A
pair of field goals by Dick Taylor
helped give the Colts a 1918 half
time edge. In the third, st. Johns
pulled into a tie for the last time
when George made 1t 15-all, and
after that the Colts stayed in front.
Stan Kings corner shot put them
ahead, and other markers by Taylor,

been we'll have to make room for
him even II we move Derry Priddy
from shortstop back to second base"
That's true" enthuses Bluege.
only yesterday I went to Johnny
and told him he's looking great, and
I meant 1t. He could make this club
very easily. When he left US before
going into the Army he couldn't
pick up a balloon, but he's a differ
-ent player now. He has confidence
and he's going to give EN- a tussle
for a job"
Sullivan, playing despite a rup-
tured groin muscle which 10 days
ago threatened to shelve him most
of the season, has been a source of
elation to both Griffith and Bluege.
He could wedge George Myatt and
Eddie Lyons of second base, for If
Travis holds up and Sullivan con-
tinues to sparkle the Mats infield
could be Mickey Vernon at first
base, Priddy at second, Sullivan at
shortstop and Travis at third.
Meanwhile Coan is being ham
pered in his bid for a berth by
troublesome feet. Allergic to Flor
ida's sand, Gil has been delayed in
getting started but was expected to
play today when the Mats staged
their second intrasquad game. Gil
has spent much Of his time here
simply sitting in the sun treating
his feet, but now it's a case of him
being forced to 60 to work despite
his handicap If he hopes to grab
regular spot in the lineup.
Coan Seen rs Future Star.
Despite his 209 hitting as a rookie
last season, Grifith sees in Coan
a future star and is anxious to give
Gil every consideration in helping
him to achieve that status. A .372
hitter with Chattanooga in 1945,
Coan was voted minor league player
Of the year that season and neither
Griffith nor Bluege is in a mood to
abandon hope Of him clicking this
year.
Coan is determined to play regu-
larly. THAT left field job is mine" !"
says Gil. "And it's going to be
mine for a long, long time"
With an abundance Of outfielders,
chances of the Mats rockies moving
north with the team appear remote.

warning has gone out to Southern
Conference basket ball fans today
stay away from the Duke field house
unless you have . ticket-for only
5000 foresighted folks win see the
University Of North Carolina and
North Carolina State meet tonight
for tho Conference court title.
George Washington Is on its way
home after being soundly spanked
by North Carolina State, 7o-47, in .
performance that found G. w. colder
than the advance man on the Byrd
expedition. South Carolina was help.
less In losing, 58-33, to the suddenly
terrific Tar Heels.
Doors Smashed In Fans Rush.
A State-C Carolina regular season
game was Cancelled two weeks ago
in Raleigh when fans smashed the
doors in q wild rush for seats, but
tournament officials have promised
to have the situation under control
in the title tilt.
George Washington's Colonials un-
disputed top team Of the first round
games, retained that distinction
for the first 5 minutes against N. c.
State. G. w. was ahead 9-6, and
looking good but in q fash the State
fcapH $hof hos hoax, ~o~bi1o 49,. ~ar
the Nations best found itself.
Five minutes later G. w. was
behind, 1913, and at the half it
was 1924 for the Wolfpack. More
than as minutes passed before Coach
Everett Case made o substitution,
but the Wolfpack Reserves lost none
Of the drive. The score was 1896
before the Colonials made a brief
comeback at the end.
The Colonials, king Of the back
boards in beating Washington and
Lee In the first round, couldn't buy
q rebound last night. Their shoot
ing was of and the factor that was
feared to be their downfall against
State, ball handling, proved to be
just that-their downfall.
The Midwestern slcksters on the
State squad, led by Dick Dickey
and Bob Negley Of Indiana, had
too much court savvy for the Colo
mails. G. w. tried all the way out
it was one Of those OF nights COM
pared to a good one for the Wolf
pack, just the opposite of their
respective first round performances.
Zahn Tried Everything.
Coach Art Zahn tried all his COM
hinations, but after their brief OPEN
ing squirt none clicked. Bill Can't
well was a standout In defeat but
last night State simply was too much
ball club.
The final Is anybody,s game.
North Carolina has not been extend-
ed enough to know much Of It's
potentialities. State is bigger and
has more reserve strength. Both
are well coached ball clubs with Q
fast break and man for man defense.
State seldom takes a wild shot, pre-
ferring to work the ball In for safe
shots. 81,

duced only one close game out OF
