Cards Display Power
Smothering 1owson,

Coach Abe Rosenfield's reasons for
expecting winning court combina-

son were apparent last night as the

Igave an excellent demonstration OF
ball handling and play making in
trhalking up their first Mason-Dixon
Conference victory. 1t was not "a
aawless performance by any means,
but the Cards showed enough power
to indicate they'll surprise some op-
ponents in the championship race.
Guard Jack Walsh, who tailed
only AZ points last season, made a
good start toward bettering that
record by pacing the victors with Is,
and Fred OK Connor checked in
with 13, and lanky George Laubach-
er contributed II. But most heart
ening to Rosenfield was the work Of
Rookie Jim Lusty, who not only hit
the hoop for IL points but played
a good floor game.
Catholics hopes of bettering last
years 500 record wavered in the
first half when Capt. Gene Szklarz
injured his ankle and had to be
removed from the game. With
Szklarz out, the Cards were not as
smooth on offense and their defense
Jagged. But first-aid had the Cardi-
nal leader ready for the second half.
Bob Watson, Towson guard, was
knocked unconscious in the second
half when he fell and struck his
head on the floor. He, too, later
returned to action. Charley Kim
NETT scored 9 points and Harry
Halstead 8 for Towson. The teach
ers trailed by a 27-16 margin
at the half and after a brief rally

Navy Athletic Director
Wanted as Panthers
Plan Grid BuiIdup
By the Assoeioted Press

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 3O.-Some-
body is going to be handed a big
job today-the task of pushing the
University of Pittsburgh back up
among the Nations football powers.
Only few know now who has the
inside track for that job, which
carries with it the title of Pitt
athletic director. However, many
believe the official finger will be
pointed at Capt. Tom Hamilton
athletic director at the United States
Naval Academy.
Tom isn't talking. Informed a
few days ago that he was the
rumored first choice, he said merely:
I'm f1attered to be considered"
Would Have to Leave Navy.
If Hamilton was the man favored
at yesterdays meeting Of Pitts Ath-
letic Committee and Undergraduate
Council, there's little question he'll
have to work out with the Navy

Pitt spokesman, who asked his
name be withheld, said he didn't
think Tom would have much
trouble. After ALL he's served 20
years with the Navy, including two
tours of duty as Navy's grid coach.
Pitt had announced it would re-
veal it's choice yesterday. However,
Chancellor Rufus H. Fitzgerald said:
Final decisions by all parties on
this matter have not yet come
about So
Job to Be Broadened.
He added the decision would be
announced Immediately after an
Executive Committee meeting of the
university trustees today. Chan
cellor Fitzgerald said the group
which met yesterday discussed set
ting up an integrated. correlated
program which will tie in the func-
tions of the athletic director to the
overall physical education setup Of
the university.
The post of athletic director has
been vacant since the resignation
last summer of Jimmy Hagan. He
quit after series of investigations
by committees into Pitts declining
football fortunes.
