Southern Conference
May Ask 10 0uints
To Tournament
BY the Assoeiotsd Rrsss

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 28.-The
Southern Conference Tournament
Committee that meets at Durham,
N. c., tomorrow may issue bids to
10 circuit teams instead Of eight
as Is normally the case.
AS the scores for deciding con-
ference games came in tonight
Wake Forest, william and Mary
and South Carolina finished their
conference states In a three-way tie
for eighth place. The three teams
have identical records Of eight wins
and seven losses for a .533 percent
age in conference play.
Inviting more than the first eight
teams Is not without precedent in
the loop. In 1899 II teams were
invited to the annual playoffs when
a similar deadlock occurred.
The first seven places are held
by North Carolina State, George
Washington, North Carolina, Mary
land. Davidson, Virginia Tech, and
Duke, in that order.
The tourney is scheduled to open
at Durham Thursday. Should 10
teams be invited 1t is possible that
the opening may be moved up one
day.
Only one scheduled game remains
on the cards Of the 16 Conference
teams. George Washington meets
Maryland Monday.

Fast Basket Ball Field
Challenging ST. John S
In Stars Tourney

One OF the ClaSSlest 1leloS ever
assembled in the 16-year history OF
the Metropolitan Interscholastic In
vitation Basket Ball Tournament is
ready for play this week in the big
windup event of the high school
season. st. Johns is the favorite off
its record of 81 wins and only one
setback, but the other entrants also
have fancy strings. To take home
the big silver bowl that goes to the
winners, the Johnnies will have to
get past some tough competition.
The tournament, consponsored by
The Interhigh Athletic Association
and The Evening Star, will be held
Tuesday, Wednesday. Friday and
Saturday nights at the University OF
Marylands Ritchie Coliseum. TWO
games will be played each night, the
first starting at 1880 o'clock.
Along with St. Johns, champ OF
the Catholic School League, COM
peting teams are Gonzaga, runner
up in that league; Central and
Roosevelt, winner and runnerup,
respectively, in the District public
high series, George Washington
and washington-Lee High, winner
and runnerup in the Northern Vir-
ginia Group I League; Bethesda
Chevy Chase, Montgomery County
champion, and the Prince Georges
County champion. Identity OF that
last team has not been announced.
All these teams own fancy records
that indicate they'll give st. johns
plenty Of trouble. Some Of the best
records are the 17-3 sported by
Bethesda, 1873 by both Central and
George Washington, and 1875 by
Gonzaga. Excepting the Prince
Georges County representative,
teams in the tournament have won
100 games this season against only
81 losses.
Some Of this areas best schoolboy
basketers will be in action. st.
Johns has a prize package In Jack
George, q good all-around player
and outstanding scorer. Other top
PLAYERS there are Tom Fannon and
Al Weaver. Hook Zimmerman Is a
pivot shot standout for Washing
ton-Lee, while George Washington
has a pair of the best in Billy
Roher and Billy Smith. Another
outstanding veteran player with the
Presidents is Buzzy Brown, who for
two years has been on the all-State
team.
Bob johnson, Jim Pantos and Hal
Sponslor of Central all are big, fast
and excellent scorers: Roosevelt's
players are mostly smaller, but lads
such as Billy Hibbs and Billy Paugh
give way to none in playing ability.
Bethesda, too, will display pair
of really top-notch schoolboy cagers
In Dick Latimer and Fred Geneau.
Some Of Gonzaga's best are Mike
Nolan, Don Hogan and Jack Spicer.
First-round games opening the
tourney on Tuesday night are
washington-Lee against st. Johns,
followed by Bethesda against
Roosevelt. Additional first-round
games on Wednesday will send
George Washington against Prince
Georges, followed by Central
against Gonzaga. Semifinals will be
played Friday night and the cham
pionship game Saturday.
