Navy Quintet Downs
Army, 42-M, Making
Series Even al 1913
By the Associoted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 5.-Navy's S
basket ball team fought off late
Army uprising tonight to gain a
42-40 victory.
A couple of sophomores. Chet
McDonough and Dave Mullaney
led them Midshipmen to the
triumph which evened the series
between the academies at 1913.
Both teams played cautiously
throughout, seemingly more in
terested in controlling the ball
than in taking chance shots.
The Cadets got off to an early
lead which they held up until two
an a half minutes before the half
when McDonough's field goal put
the Navy ahead 1918. 1t was
21-18 by halftime.
The Middies we're never behind
after that, although their lead
was whitfield to one point twice IN
the frantic second half.
Moe Mosny led the Army
scorers with IA points.
McDonough and Mullaney each
had 13 points to top Navy scorers.
The superintendents of both
academies, rear Admiral James l..
Holloway, jr., and Maj. Gen.
Bryant E. Moore. were present
in the crowd of 1000 which
packed Dahlgren Hall.
After the victory, the Midship-
men swarmed their team and
Coach Ben Carnevale. The vic
tory preserved Carnevale's perfect
record against Army in the three
years he has coached Navy.

MORGANIOWN, w. Va,
March 5.-Pitt snapped West
Virginia's home floor basket ball
winning streak at 81 games to-
night with a 1892 overtime
triumph over the Mountaineers.
Fittingly enough, Pitt was
the last visiting team to win in
the fieldhouse here before the
long victory string began. The
Panthers took a 60-57 decision
in 1914, but had lost eight
games in a row to w. Va. U.
The panthers stalled West
Virginia's fast breaking type
of offense with the slow, con-
troll game for which Doc Carl
son-coached teams have be-
come famous, then counted
heavily on set shots to emerge
victorious. West Virginia led
at halftime 1911, and the
regular game ended in a 1929
deadlock.

Georgetown University's trio
moved into the semi finals of the
National intercollegiate polo
championship tonight by downing
the favored Williams College team

Five goals by Joe ONeill in the

by Roy Gilroy and another by
O'Neill in the second period gave
Georgetown a 9-4 half-time ad-

DURHAM, N. c., Mar. S.
George Washington gave North
Carolina State a 29-minute battle
for the Southern Conference
basket ball championship tonight
before the Colonials found the
pace and the opposition too much
and lost, $3.50, before 5000 fans
in Dukes Indoor Stadium.
The the last II minutes and is
seconds of the title game, George
Washington did not score from
the floor and added only one foul
shot-that by Bill CantWell
Meanwhile State riddled G. WIS
zone defense, gave the Colonials
the all-court press and haWked
them at every angle. After its
triple-overtime triumph over Will
liam and Mary last night, G. W.
was mighty tired team and had
no comeback for the Wolfpack's S
driving finish.
Collapse of G. w. Surprises.
State thus became the first
team to win the title three
straight years since North Caro-
lima accomplished the feat in
1934-4-5. Since Everett Case took
over as coach three years ago
the Wolfpack has won 46 out OF
40 conference games. State still
is in the running for a bid to the
National Invitation tournament
but was frozen out of the NCAA
when Kentucky accepted this Sec
tons bid.
Although State was solid ia
vorite and everybody realized G
w. was weary. the Colonials' col
lapse was unexpected. After Ray
Adler added foul shot to give
the Colonials a 1886 lead, N. C
State outscored them. 10 to l, for
the remainder of the game. It
was an anti-climax game after
last nights torrid semifinal scraps
The Colonials came up with a
zone defense, as anticipated, and
after they tied the score at Gall
the pace almost was basket for
basket until State started its
drive. States biggest lead was
1914 and G. WIS biggest ad-
vantage was 34-31.
State has an amazing ball club
Although Dick Dickey, the pan
ther-like forward with the light

nized leader, any man on the
squad is dangerous. One of their

did the other Colonials.
Little Eugene Witkin, the s.
foot-5 playmaker and set shot
artist who made a powerful bid
for all tournament honors, was a
valuable performer for the Colo
mails and clicked three times from
near mid-court with his set shots.
When North Carolina State
started it's press, which was check
ing G. w. at both ends of the
court, G.. w. was helpless. Time
and again the players used al
most the allotted 10 seconds to
pass to mid court and when they
were in scoring territory they had
only wild shots at the basket.
State had an amazing percent
age from the foul line with 21
of 25 attempts while G. w. missed
only five of 20. Only Ray Adler
fouled out as % fouls were called
on G. w. to 18 against State.

Only Paul Horvath, the big
center who was valuable in giving
State wide edge off the back
boards, and Dickey hit double
scoring figures for State. but seven
of their eight players scored at
least two field goals.
Buster Haithcock, the Mr.. Big
of G.. WIS triumph last night, was
held scoreless from the floor and
the heavier and sharper State
players did not permit him to
grab the rebounds as in the past
two days.

KuheI Picks Lineup

ORLANDO, Fla, Mar. 5.-A
part-time movie actor determined
to become a full-time baseball
player today joined the Mats fat
tening family here and promptly
was assured by Manager Joe
Kuhel that he'll be the leading
candidate for Washington's CEN
terfield job.
Ed Stewart. the slim, Wavy-
haired blond who was the Mats
leading regular hitter last season
with a modest .278 average, domi-
mated the first batting drill in
which he participated. His sharp
slices served warning to other
centerfeld aspirants that Stewart
will be difficult to dislodge.
Kuhel indicated his preference
for Stewart when he named his
starting lineup for the Mats first
exhibition game on Saturday
against the Philadelphia Athletics
at West Palm Beach.
Gil Coan in left, Buddy Lewis
in right and Stewart in center
will comprise the Washington out
field which will tangle with the
AS and Kuhel declared they'll
rate the edge unless some of the
Mats rockies are capable of sup
planting them.
Rafting Order ARRANGED.
Kuhel nominated the following
batting order to face Philadelphia
I-Coan, If; Lewis. ri; Stewart, CT;
Eddie Robinson, 1b; Al Kozar, 2b;
Eddie Yost, 3b; Sam Dente, SIS;
Jake Early, c, and Paul Calvert,
p. Calvert was a wartime pitcher
with the Cleveland Indians who
later saw service in the Mexican
League and the Cuban Winter
League.
That lineup would mean the
Mats first four hitters would be
left-handed, but Kuhel is con-
templating the shift of Kozar into
the No. 3 spot, with Stewart drop
ping to fifth.
Stewart. who years ago ap-
peared in Chapter l of "The Ad-
