DURHAM, N. c., Mar. 6.-North
Carolina State proved its all-around
greatness tonight by overpowering
Duke, $3.50, to win its second
straight Southern Conference basket
ball championship without the pres
ence of its star player.
With Dick Dickey in a hospital
with the mumps, State was forced
to look elsewhere for leadership,
but found it and gradually wore
down the Blue Devils after a mad
dening first half in which the lead
changed hands almost with each
basket.
A capacity crowd of more than
5000, many of whom paid scalper's
prices for admission, jammed the
Duke field house, most of them
pulling for State to carry the Con-
ference crown into the National
Invitation Tournament in New York.
Duke, which two weeks ago didn't
figure to make the tournament, and
an underdog in each of its four
tournament appearances, threw
real scare into the Wolfpack
throughout the first half.
Duke Once Leads $500.
When big Ben Collins of Duke
stole the ball and dashed down
court for a layup to give Duke its
biggest lead, $500, there was con-
sternation in the State camp as
the Wolfpack took time out. Duke
held a 27-24 lead at half time, but
it had made its big bid.
Ed Bartels counted on hook shot
to give State its first lead in the
second half, 1921. and Warren car-
tier followed with push shot to
make it 34-31, and State was ahead
to stay.
The Wolfpack missed Dickey, the
red-haired sophomore from Alex
andria, Ind He was their high
scorer for the season, their play
maker and inspiration and his ab-
sence will knock State from the
favorite's role in the National In
vitations He will be quarantined
for three weeks.
States fast break. probably the
fastest of any team in the country,
had the Duke players tearing down
court with their tongues out in the
last few minutes when the size of
the score was the only question.
State also was bigger, but Duke out
fought it off the backboards in the
first half.
Cartier is State Spark.
Cartier of Green Bay, Wisconsin,
was States scoring powerhouse with
20 points. He was working around
the basket and bluffing the Duke
defenders out of position and when

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.-The

Harris declined to go overheard

progress made by the candidates
so far.
No alarm is felt about any of the
three absentees.

BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Mar. e.-Loyola
College squelched desperate Sec
ond-half rally tonight to turn back
American University, 49-43, for the
championship of the Mason Dixon
Conference Basketball Tournament
The Greyhounds prepared imme-
diately to leave for Kansas City
where they will meet Emporia State
Tuesday night in the first round OF
the National intercollegiate Tour
nament. Loyola was defending Ma
son-Dixon champ.
The American Eagles, who split
two regular season games with Loy-
ola, came back with second half
splurge that just fell short. In the
first half, the Greyhounds appeared
on their way to rout as they easily
piled up a 29-15 advantage.
Jim Lacy, who again was high
scorer with 81 points, had just whip
ped in a long shot to give Loyola a
1926 lead when American came to
life.
Pete Negley, Leroy Ishman and
substitute forward Ralph Benson
shot in three straight baskets. Fred
Fling came through with a brace
of buckets and American was be-
hind only 1896, the closest it came
since the first few minutes of the
game.
But the irrepressible Lacy came
through with two foul tosses and
Tom Gisriel added another pair to
pull away to 1896 and the threat
was over.
Bob Lamon and Tex Griffin kept
plugging for American, but each
time their baskets we're matched by
Zedalis and Gisriel to maintain a
safe margin up to the final whistle.
A poor first half proved disastrous
for the American Eagles. Loyola
picked their zone defense to pieces
from the start and it was five
minutes before the Eagles scored
field goal.
Ahead 7-5, Loyola put on drive
that carried 1t to 1876 lead with
five minutes remaining in the half.

U. nosed out Catholic U. 1886 for

George Gets 81
Points tolead
|Johnniies' Win
Vikings Trail From
Outset, Shine Only
In Third Period
By George Huber

st. Johns walloped Central, So
81, last night in the final of the
Evening Star Interscholastic Tour
nament at Ritchie Coliseum at the
University of Maryland, to win the
high school basket
ball championship. 1t ended a s.
year reign of District public high
teams as winners of this event and
returned the Johnnies to the cham
pion's circle for the first time since
1898.
Coached by Joey Gallagher, a
member of that 1898 club, the Cath
olic schools champions took COM
mand at the start and never were
headed. A near-capacity crowd OF
2,741 was on hand.
Leading the attack all the way
as he had in previous tournament
Jack George, without a
doubt the best high school basket
ball player around here this season.
Jack scored 81 points himself and
set up many more for teammates.
That score tied the tournament rec
ord set only the night before by
Jim Pantos of Central. Pantos last
night was limited to four points.
George also turned in a great de-
fensive game, using his height to
advantage to snare rebounds of
backboards.
Johnnies Lead, 26-11, at Half.
- hi m,
no trophy was presented to the out
standing player this year. but If one
had been available it undoubtedly
would have gone to George,
George tossed in the first point
of the game, and continued with
hot hand throughout. In fact, he
scored st. Johns first eight points
as it ran up an 80 lead in the
opening minutes. Only Jim Pantos
and Bill bunker were able to break
through tight Johnny defenses to
tally for Central in the first period
as the eventual winners ran up
1875 lead.
The margin steadily increased
until half time. George tossed in
three more from various angles to
give the Johnnies 26-11 inter-
mission lead.
The third period was Central's
best, but still the Johnnies were
able to up their margin. Jack
Stringer got a pair for the Vikings.
but three more scores resulted from
Georges uncanny accuracy. The
Johnnies carried a 1921 lead into
the final, and were able to coast
home. Before he was removed
shortly before the end, George
earned five more points to make his
31-point total Coach Gallagher
Withdrew him at that point, and
the boy received a tremendous ova-
tion.
George Made Difference.
Despite the one-sided margin at
the end-second largest in tourney
history-the Vikings weren't dis
graced. They're champions of the
District public high league, some
thing that can't be taken from them.
They had a tough game against
George Washington High of Alexan-
dria the night before, and obviously
were a bit off form.
If they'd been at their best,
though, they couldn't have taken the
extra good st. Johns team last
night. Despite the increasing mar
gin, St. Johns owned throughout.
the Vikings never gave up and
were fighting down to the very end.

Brooks Trade Stanky

Players, $4,000
Boston Gives Up Sanders.

BY the Associoted Press

BRADENTON, Fla, Mar. 6.-The
Boston Braves tonight acquired
Second Baseman Eddie Stanky from
the Brooklyn Dodgers for First
Baseman Ray Sanders, holdout Out
fielder 'Bama Rowen and a reported
100000 cash.
In the event that Sanders, inac-
tive since the middle of the 1916
season because of badly fractured
arm, is unable to make good, the
Braves, it was reported, would send
the Dodgers an additional 100000.
The Dodgers, it was said, planned
to install Sanders at first base and
use Jackie Robinson at his natural
second-base position. Robinson
played first last season, the first
member of the Negro race to play
big league baseball in modern times.
Rowell, who played left field most
of last season for the Tribe, will
be sent to the Dodgers Interna-
tional League farm at Montreal.
Stanky i" holler guy" has been
one of the Dodgers sparkplugs ever
since he was traded to the Brooklyn
club by the Chicago Cubs in June
of 1914 for Pitcher Bob Chapman.
This Philadelphia native, who
will be 81 years old next September
3, has been Brooklyn's leadof bat
ter and noted for his ability to draw
bases on balls. He led the league
with 143 walks in 1945.
An aggressive type who fights
hard to win, Stanky will add pep
to the tribe infield. He's also deft
in completing and starting double
plays, a weakness in the Braves
defense last season.
Sanders arm was shattered in
a collision at first base with Erv
(Four Sack Dusak of the Cardinals
in a game at st. Louis in 1916, his
first year with the Tribe. He hasn't
played since, but reported on ar
rival here that his arm felt good
and he thought he could play.
Since the accident to Sanders,
the Braves acquired standout rookie
Earl Torgeson with veteran Frank
Mccormick as first sackers.

Apply 2,4~D to Rescue
After 5 Inches High

A RECENT STATEMENT con-
corning the susceptibility of Rescue,
to 2,4-D has caused considerable
concern among county agents and
wheat growers in Montana. Because
of the limited information on this
point the agronomy and soils de-
partment of the Montana agrieul-
tural experiment station believes
that the available information
should be presented as a guide to
growers who may need to treat
weeds in Rescue fields this year.
All crops are somewhat suscepti-
BILE to 2,4-D, but most cereals can
be successfully treated with the
chemical. Treating should be done
at the lowest possible rate at which

floor, grounding the current, or a
person taking a bath may touch a
metal switch. Use porcelain sockets
instead of brass. Use rubber cords if
exposed to water or dampness. Keep
the laundry floor dry and wear rub
bers as an added precaution. Discard
or repair promptly cords having ex-
posed wires.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-04-15

good weed kills can be obtained. OF
the small grains, wheat is probably
the most resistant to the action of
2,4-D. Differences in susceptibility
between varieties have been noted.
Rescue May Be Susceptible
Rescue wheat has been treated
successfully with 2,4-D at several 10
cations. However, some observations
and very limited controlled expert
ments have indicated that Rescue
may be more susceptible than other
spring wheats.
The Montana agricultural expert
ment station recommends that the
application rate for small grains be
equivalent to from A to 1 pound of
the parent acid per acre, with
dosages being varied according to
the stage of growth of the crops and
the weeds. The maximum rate of
n pound of acid per acre should be
applied to growing crops only when
the weeds are in a resistant stage Of
growth.
Since Rescue appears to be more
susceptible to 2,4-D than some other
varieties. of spring wheat, particu-
larly at the higher rates of applica-
ton, the maximum rate per acre for
this variety should not be over s
pounds of parent acid per acre
for 1913. l..s
Later Treatment
To obtain the best possible kill,
weeds must be treated while they
are young, succulent and growing
rapidly. However, there is some
evidence which indicates that spring
wheat varieties may be more sus-
ceptible when they are 8 inches or
less in height.
The available evidence indicates
that this susceptibility has decreased
considerably by the time spring
wheats have reached 5 inches in
height. In view of these observa-
tons Rescue wheat should not be
treated until it has reached 5 inches
IN height.

Mulch Beons and Tomatoes
BY Virginia Smith

Mulch Beuns and Tomatoes
Old gardeners say June, July and
August are the hottest months of
the year and this philosophy is GER
tainly true this year.
With this hot weather comes dry
soil and time 10 mulch summer
crops-especially beans and toma-
toes.
One gardener said recently she
had beans throughout the drouth
last year because she used mulch
in the garden. Mulch saves moisture,
retards weeds and grass and lowers
the temperature of the soil.
July is a good time to mulch,
if you haven't done so already. The
temperature begins to go up and the
soil dries out rapidly, even after a
rain or watering.
The crops to be mulched should
be free from weeds and grass be-
fore mulching material is used. AT
ter a rain or watering, work over
the COWS and apply mulching ma
terial. This material may be old
sacks, clean hay or straw, pine
needles, sawdust or ever news
papers.
When using hay, straw, sawdust
or pine needles, apply a mulch 8
to 4 inches thick. When using old
sacks or paper, 2 to 4 thicknesses
should do the juob. A few handfuls
