George washington, which has
finished in the upper bracket Of the
Southern Conference teams each
year since becoming a member in
1912, must win only one of its five
remaining Conference games to
qualify for the March 3-5 cham
pionship tournament in Durham.
The Colonials' 66-54 triumph over
Maryland last night, and Southern
Conference President Geary Eppley's
statement that Wake Forest must
forfeit all games in which it used an
ineligible player, suddenly boosted
G. WIS Conference standing to six
victories and two defeats.
If the Colonials win only one out
of five they will finish with seven
triumphs against six defeats. always

The G. w. supporters were bit
worried before yesterdays develop
ments. With the Wake Forest defeat
against them and 4-3 record in
the Conference, G. w. had six games
remaining. and with the exception
of Maryland they all were with the
better clubs in the Conference.
incidentally, Willard Kaylor, the
Wake Forest player who was de-
clared ineligible because he had
played two years at Appalachian
State and two years with the
Deacons, played under Maryland
Coach Flucie Stewart before the
war at Appalachian.
A prominent conference member
school had asked both Maryland
and George Washington to blow
the whistle on Wake Forest for
using Kaylor, but both schools re-
fused. Wake Forest finally de-
clared Kaylor ineligible. Eppley
said the rule was changed last De-
cember, making it an automatic
forfeit wherever an ineligible player
was used.

Turns Over HOLDINGS
To F. N. Soigh, Jr.
BY the Associated Press

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 27.-Robert E
Hannegan, former Postmaster Gen.
eral, sold his interest in the St. Louis
Cardinals today to his partner, Fred
M. Saigh, jr.
Hannegan told a press conference
in his Sportsman's Park office that
he is getting out of baseball on
orders from his physician.
Saigh becomes president and ma
jority stockholder of the Cardinals
which he and Hannegan bought in
November, 1947, from Sam Breadon
Neither would disclose the price
involved in the transfer of stock
dismissing questions with mo COM
ment," but speculation was that
Hannegan will receive not less than
ST ,000,00O
When the Cardinals were pur-
chased from Breadon for 81, ,060 900,
representing price of $500 a share
Hannegan and Saigh were reported
to have been $3.50 on the deal.
Will Own 90% of Stock.
Saigh, who describes himself as a
lawyer who hasn't practiced for
three years." recently has been in
terested in extensive real estate
holdings in st. Louis. Two years
ago he bought History building
housing one of the citys major de-
partment stores, and six months
later acquired control of the 21-
story Railway Exchange Building
which houses another major de-
partment store.
Under the new setup, Saigh will
own approximately 30 per cent of
the 1871 shares of stock. Sidney
Solomon, jr. a member CT the
Board of Directors, remains as a
stockholder. So do three other in
divlouals who retain a total of
seven shares for sentimental rea-
sons.
Hannegan, in a typewriter state
ment, said that 'the tension and
pressure of the work as president OF
the Cardinals is not conducive to
the completion Of the health pro-
gram my physician has outlined for
me-"
Hannegan said he underwent q
rather drastic" operation in Boston
in 1947 and that he has been
plagued with high blood pressure
He said he expects to go to Florida
until June and then will become
chairman of the board of an insur-
ance firm headed by Solomon.
He said his physician is Brig.
Gen. Wallace Graham, president
Truman's personal physician.
The two men said the possibility
Of a change in ownership was dis
cussed for the first time about a
month ago.
There was no thought or sug-
gestion Of selling out to new own
ers," Hannegan said. 1--WE both felt
there was an obligation to the fans
of st. Louis. We had an agreement
that neither would sell his share
without giving the other the first
chance to buy"

| 100000 Pay
lFor Di Mag Seen
las q Possibility
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Joe d
Maggie was reported today to have
turned down a $4,000 raise from
the New York Yankees and to be
seeking contract that would make
him the highest paid player In
baseball history.
Friends mentioned sums like
100000 and 100000, but no figures
came from the principles.
Following salary conference yes
terday with Yankee officials, d
Maggie said only:
"The Yankees made me an offer
I made no counter offer. My under
standing is that after a few days
they will call me up and we will
have another session. Until ther
I am not going to say whether il
will be quick or a delayed signing.
Del Webb, co-owner of the Yam
KEGS, asserted Were pretty close
to coming to terms. I'm sure there
won't be any trouble"
The contract offered Di Maggie
repeatedly called for SOS 900 in basic
salary, compared to $55,0O0 a year
ago, and a bonus if the Yanks' home
attendance exceeds 100000. Last
year the Yanks drew 100000 and
Di Maggie drew a $4,000 bonus
making his aggregate pay for 1913
$4,000.
Joltin' Joe was represented as op-
posed to the bonus arrangement
He is understood to prefer a higher
straight salary and a two-year or
longer contract. If offered long
term contract friends hinted he
would sign for less. However, if
offered only a one-year contract
Di Maggie was understood to be
ready to ask anywhere between $780,
600 and 100000.

'Lave|Ii Of Yale
Heads Nations S
Court Scorers
Averages 22.2 Points;
Giermuk of W. and M,
Hos Highest Total
BY the Associated Press

Accordion playing Tony Lavelli
squeezed his way to the top of the
National College Basket Ball scoring
race today.
The musical hook-shot wizard
from Yale is the fifth player to lead
the pack in five weeks, the National
Collegiate Athletic Bureau reported.
Ninth in the race a month ago,
Lavelli started his climb when he
started hitting free throws. He's
now averaged 22.2 points for Is
games. He's hit 113 field goals and
l07 foul shots for 1888 points.
Joe Noertker OF Virginia, last
weeks leader, didn't play so he hung
on to his 22.0 average. Dick Schnitt-
ker of Ohio State is third with 21.1.
Schnittker, who had been in the
hospital, returned to action for IA
minutes Saturday night and made
l8 points.
Giermak's Total Is High.
Chet Giermak of William and
Mary is tops in the Nation in total
points with 408 and fourth in the
percentage list with 20.4 He's played
20 games. Giernak is the first play
er in the country to top 400 points
| this season.
Vince Boryla of Denver, the leader
at once time, was held to five points
by his old Notre Dame teammates
Saturday night. This cut his aver
age to 1875 for the season, the first
time it had dropped below 20 points.
He's in sixth position behind Ernie
Vandeweghe Of Colgate who has
2O.2.
The biggest slump, however, be-
longs to Ralph Richter of Cincin-
rati, first only two weeks ago. The
Bearcat ace now is 10th with 1877.
In the free-throw department the
big noise again is Lavelli. He's had
1913 free-throW chances and con-
verted LOT of them for 1886 aver
age. Most of the misses came early
in the season. Lavelli has hit so
of his last So and had one streak
of "a in a row.
Free-Toss Leader Averages 1874.
Actually he's only third in the
averages, trailing Bill Schroer of
Valparaiso with 1894 and Bill john
son of Baltimore Loyola with .S44.
But he has had more chances than
both of them combined.
