CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-Johnny Luz
jack, Notre Danes famed quarter
back, twice corsecutively named for
all-America honors, today signed a
4-year contract to play profess
sional football with the Chicago
Bears of the National Football
League.
The Bears also signed George
Connor, Notre Dame tackle, all
America in 1916, to 3-year con-
tract.
The 22-year -old Lujack repeatedly
will receive $4,000 to $4,000 year,
plus q $1,000 bonus for affixing his
signature. However, George Halas,
owner-coach of the Bears, seven
times champions of the National
League, declined to reveal the exact
terms, but said the reported figures
were close"
Lujack, native Of Connellsville,
Pa, Is a son of a locomotive boiler
maker. He has been star athlete
since his high school days in which
he played three sports-football,
basket ball and track, winning let
ters in each. He was named the
athlete of the year" in the Asso-
ciated Press poll for 1947.
Flood of Coin Due.
The Notre Dame star, possessing
the most magic name in football
since the days of Harold Red"
Grange a quarter of a century ago,
signed with Halas at a party in
the fashionable penthouse of the
Hotel Sherman in typical Holly
wood setting.
"I've always played with cham
pionship teams and it is only natu-
raj that on turning professional
that would become associated with
the Bears" Lujack said.
In his first year of professionalism
the youthful Luiaek faces the happy
prospect of rolling up 100000
bankroll. He will join the advisory
football staff of Chicago sporting
goods manufacturer and endorse a
football on which he will receive
royalties. He also is in demand as
a paid after -dinner speaker and has
been offered movie contract.
Lujack is expert in directing the
swift striking T formation offense
which he learned at Notre Dame
under Coach Frank Leahy, one of
the Nations foremost collegiate ex-
ponents of the formation. Even
tually Lujack will supplant Sid
Luckman, the Bears aging quarter
back star who served as Lujack's
tutor at Notre Dame during two
spring practice sessions.

But for that matter the Caps,
too, didn't give the 1,311 fans who
braved the snowstorm anything to
keep their minds of the warm con-

In Second Half
Pull Sensational Spur'
After Middies Leod
At Intermission
By MerreII WhittIesey

George Washington, apparently
unimpressed by the fact that q Navy
basket ball team was making its
first visit to the Nations Capital,
outsmarted the visitors in the second
half last night and surged to a
54-43 triumph in the Colonials' finest
home performance of the season.
The 1000 persons who braved the
weather were wishing somebody
would turn on the heat in the
armory, and G. w. answered at the
25-minute mark, trailing by six
points at the time.
The Colonials suddenly slowed
Nays fast break, stuck Phil Nc
Milf on Navy's high-scoring captain,
Jack Robbins, and set Ray Adler
in to control the backboards, and it
was different ball game.
The Colonials took the lead for
the first time since early in the
game at 1929, lost it momentarily
to Robbins final field goal of the
evening, then went ahead to stay
on q follow by Bill Cantwell. The
Colonials scored eight straight points
to take a 41-34 lead, and the only
question after that was how wide
the margin.
Three Colonials Star.
Cantwell, Johnny Moffatt and
Howard Hoffman were the fancy
dams Of the Colonials in their 33-
point squirt in the last is minutes,
their hottest scoring pace Of the
season. Cantwell and Moffatt scored
on some beautiful fakes and fade
aways and if they missed, Adler was
there for the tap-in.
1t was a different ball game in
the first half. Navy came out
with a looming fast break that the
Colonials could not match, and
although G. w. took an early 60
lead, the Middies quickly tied 1t up
and took a 22-17 lead into the
halftime intermission.
Robbins, with a beautiful one
handled jump shot, was doing most
Of the Navy damage, with some
help from John Barrow, the only
other holdover from the Navy team
that lost only one regular season
game last year, that to G. w

Navy that day with II points, die

HEsIl;n~ r~l> Fat .
For the first five minutes Of the
second half the Middies added a
point to their advantage, at 27-21.
But the team that has a reputa-
ton of winning a lot Of its games
in the second half because of su-
perior condition and speed faded
fast before the Colonials' onslaught.
Cantwen, a marked man with his
shirtail out, was marked man
otherwise as he was all over the
court, and his point production was
IS, a total matched by Robbins.
Alder's II points and Moffatt's II
contributed heavily to the G. W.
attack, with Moffatt a standout
because his shots were of the sensa-
tional variety.
The victory was 13 for the Co
lonials against three defeats, while
Navy accepted its third loss in
six starts, all by 10 points or more.

Foul Shots Settle
Issue in Frigid
Arn1ory Game
Visitors Match Hoyos
in Goals From Field;
krous Surprises

Georgetown recovered from an
acute case Of frigid fingers, which
left the Hoyas without a field goal
in the first seven minutes, to score a
mild intersectional upset over Texas
Wesleyan, 48-37, yesterday after
noon in the Armory.
Whether it was colder inside the
Armory than out was not deter
mined, due to the lack Of thermo-
meter, but the chilly air bothered
both teams and at the end of five
minutes the Fort Worth Rams led,
80. But the Hoyas passed them
at the 10-minute mark at 8-5 and
were ahead by from 7 to IL points
for the remainder of the contest.
Texas, playing its second game in
18 hours after dropping a 49-48
decision to Long Island Friday
night in New York, finally matched
the Hoyas in field goals but the
visitors made only three of 16 foul
shots while Georgetown pocketed
IA out of "a for its winning margin.
Hoyas Use Reserves Freely.
Tommy O'Keefe dispelled all
doubts that Georgetown would be
shut out from the floor by scoring
on layup at the 7-minute mark
and after that the Hoyas displayed
a respectable brand of ball. Coach
Elmer Ripley made frequent use of
his reserves with John Brown and
Joe Culhane the standouts among
the second stringers.
The Rams had a big height ad-
vantage on Georgetown but Ken
Brown was more than a match for
their biggest man under the basket
until he fouled out. Incidentally,
Brown drew a technical foul for
talking back to the referee.
Easy Parham, the fourth-leading
scorer in the country last season,
clicked on some one-hand shots,
the Texans speciality, in the last 10
minutes and wound up with scoring
honors with II points. Ted Nick
sick, the only non-Texan on the
squad, from Slovan, Pa, was the
crowds favorite and with Doug
Higgins, also was outstanding for
the Fort Worth team.
Kraus Surprises as Scorer.
Georgetown had d surprise CO.

play maker, who tied Ray Corley
with II points. Kraus took more

the Hoyas to 80 standing for the
season and refuted basket ball COM

a team that defeated Georgetown
