still expect to come up with their
sixth victory in a row tonight when
they meet the Boston Celtics at
Uline Arena at 8:45.
The Celtics have won three OF
their four starts from the Caps to

The Caps, however, routed Boston,

The violets were ranked second IN

fifth after beating Temple by only a
point last Saturday in their last
game. N. Y. U. holds 75.4 standing
compared to 60.3 for Georgetown.
N, G. State is the leader with 1873.
Brown Gets Rough Job.
With the exception Of Sid Tannen-
baum, now with the pro Knicks,
N. Y. U. has virtually the same team
that won IL and lost nine last year.
The starters are Adolph Schayes,
s-foot-7 center, and Joe Dolhon,
Don Forman, Tom Kelly and Ray
Lump. The scoring usually is
divided, with Dolhon their only
representative among the leading
scorers. He Is there because he has
made so out of IS foul shots.
Ripley will rely on the usual five,
Ken Brown, Ray Corley, Tommy

evening as he doubtless will be
assigned to watch Schayes.

Wallpapers are not to be termed

Small scenic patterns are becom-
ing more and more popular. You
don't have to use all scenic paper
In room. Use it on only one wall
if the proportions of the room can

How to Use Wallpaper
To Best Effect
A dining room can be made very
effective if you lack large pic

of scenic paper on one wall. Keep
the other walls plain, even to the
absence of pictures as there is
enough design in scenic wall
paper.

would be very effective.
It's smart when choosing the
scenic papers to try to reflect ones
interest in the design chosen.
For kitchen that is large enough
or for part of a breakfast nook, you
might like to use paper that shows
complete table settings, with knives.
forks, glasses and china.
Another idea for a kitchen, par
ticularly one that you want to
brighten, might be a scenic paper
that features barns, windmills and
country lanes.
You can use your decorative skill
with the greatest of ease by just a.
border of paper to add nice note
to room. There's a pre-pasted
border. available that will do won-
ders for dull painted rooms. This
is especially effective in bedrooms
that won't take lots of design be-
cause they are too small

tive and, if you can't rely on your
own, it's cheapest to get profess
