Pair That Licked Polio Sparks
St. Dominic S on CYO Courts

IS, but packs 2o5 pounds over .
6-foot J. inch frame.
But, believe it or not, basket ball
wasn't always popular around the
St. Dominic's section. It was re-
garded by the bigger and tougher
boys around the neighborhood as
sissie game, 80 the little fellows
didn't want to play 1t either.
Father Conlon helped change
that attitude. He organized a group
of the schoolboys and played q
game against the toughies, boys In
their late teens who hung around
the school yard looking for some
excitement. They expected to be
able to push the smaller boys and
their red-haired coach all over the
court.
But Father Conlon stands 60 and
weighs around 200 pounds and he
wasn't in the mood to be pushed.
The big boys knew they had been
in a ball game and the next time
they came back Just for the fun Of
playing. 1t was no longer sissified.
Father Conlon's squad has de-
feated four straight opponents in
league play and the coach Is look
ing forward to another champion
ship. With Shannon, Carlo, Center
Benny Abel, Charley Beaver and
Jackie Staples, the ball hawk. all

the lead in Section 2 of the CYO

keen shooting eyes, yet both boys

Both were stricken at the age

the boys are wizards on the court.

in spite Of his size (he's only SID,
is a hook shot artist. He's very
good at putting that ball in over
his head"
Both boys have their eyes set on
St. Johns, where they hope Coach
Joey Gallagher will like their play.
Shannon has two brothers attend

Of play on the first stroke Of
game.
Table tennis Is not moving
forward as rapidly as the Dis
trict Association hoped since the
end Of the war. One cause Is the
lack Of suitable playing areas.
Chevy Chase Is the only place in
town large enough for a tourna-
ment and Manager Stan Fields
expects to have even more spa
cious quarters next year. But
Shea and his constituents believe
the game will catch on again.
It's supposed to be a sport In
which a person reaches hts peak
at the tender age Of 10, but Shea
thinks this theory is being shat
tered by veterans like HaZi. Thor
may have unusual stamina, how
ever. He's on the shady side Of
40 but in a tournament at
Hampstead, L. l., last year he
took Eddie Penner five sets be-
fore bowling and TOOK so mucn
out of Penner he fell easy prey
In the semifinals.
> Jimmy also thinks the game
needs a promotional shot in the
arm, like at Hollywood where
Movie Starlet Joan Leslie not
only presented the trophies but
participated in the tournament.
Or, as at Detroit where Dick
Miles of this country and Dick
Bergman of England were pulled
into the arena by q chorus OF
bathing beauties who added q bit
of welcome pulchritude to the
performance.
These monthly tournaments
are warm-ups for the Pennsyl-
vania State Open at Bethlehem
February 10, the Eastern U. 6.
Open at Springfield, Mass,
March SIS, and the National at
New York the first week in April.
Shea thinks the Washington
Journeys may produce a real
contender for major honors.

"It really isn't as bad as that"

Team That Qualities
For Army Ring Meet

The Military District of Wash.
ington will be represented by a
group of slugging fighters In the
Army world boxing championships
later this month at Fort Myer. AL
f1nalists last night in the MDW
tournament windup at Fort Myer
paid more attention to hefty swing

and as result more than half the
bouts ended in knockouts or tech

Particularly potent punching was
shown by Welterweight Andy Ma

Nathan, from Fort Myer, repeated
as welter champ by taking a Sec
ond-round TKO over Rex Rucker
OF Fort McNair, his third such VIC
tory of the tourney. He floored
Rucker with a sweeping left hook
just before the first-round bell, and
it took only so seconds of the Sec
ond heat to show that Rucker wasn't
IN shape to continue.
A left hook also was the weapon
used by Powers of Fort Belvoir In
stopping Ed McCullers of Fort Myer
at 1:55 of the first. McCullers was
down twice before being counted
out. Graves, another Belvoir better,
floored his opponent, John Bencz-

College Boxing Officiating Debate Unsettled
AS MARYLAND Triumphs Over GEORGETOWN

Headgear to protect college boxers
against cut eyes and longer pro-
grams are okay, O capacity crowd
decided last night at Ritchie
Coliseum as Marylands mittmen
swamped Georgetown, TN to az, but
the controversy as to whether three
omcials are better thar,s one con-
tinues unabated.
Georgetown was behind the 8-ball
at the start when Tom Ward failed
to make the 130-pound class weight
limit and two split decisions imme-
diately following-both against the
Hoyas-knocked 'em into the side
pocket. Whether you agreed or dis
agreed with the verdict depended to
Q great extent on which side you
favored, or on your particular method
Of scoring q bout. The Judges were
Joe Aronod and Bob Kilmartin and
Bob Kelley was referee.
On The Star scoresheet Paul Kosto-
poulos, Maryland 135-pounder, de-
served no better than q draw with
Pat Palumbo. and Eric Hotung,
Georgetown welterweight, earned
the nod over. Don Oliver. The deci.
sion went to the Marylanders. The
following 145-pound bout went to
Bob Charlton Of Georgetown by .
unanimous decision over Barney
Lincoln. The Star scoresheet had
Lincoln ahead by O comfortable
margin.
In the Oliver-Hotung match. the
Marylander's effective uppercutting
in Round 2 undoubtedly caught the
Official eye. He literally brought EN-
up from the floor and caught the
Shanghai Express wide open, win
ming the round by a wide margin.
But in the first and third rounds
Hotung outboxed Oliver and seemed
to accumulate enough points to win.
Seldom does a college fighter score
enough points in one round to offset
any disadvantage In the other two.
Lincoln was the victim Of q poor
third round. His nose bled and
Charlton got stronger and scored
consistently to the head. but 1t was
debatable whether the Hoya's rally
offset the first two innings.
It Is noteworthy that q different
official dissented In all three split
decisions.

Pdtmdn Bldsts A&P Attack
On The Justice Department

The pending suit will end these
subsidies and enable these stores
to reduce their prices.
Moreover, the suit will end
APPS practice of forcing consum-
ers in one area to subsidize APPS
price wars in another. Prices in
most of APPS own stores should
come down when this evil pro-
cedure is forbidden.
''The suit will not close a single
APP store"
Patman said the APP advertis-
ing campaign was "an unparalleled
attack upon the integrity of our
judicial system which must shock
every thoughtful citizen"
"The truth is" he added, "that
the A&P has been convicted of a
deliberate, calculated scheme, con-
ceived in 1925 and carried on for
over 20 years, to expand its con-
troll of the retail grocery market
at the expense of its competitors
and the consuming public by boy
colts, blacklisting, price wars,
threats, and other ruthless devices,
rather than by utilizing more eff
cient and economic methods of dis
tribution."
