The Washington Caps again will
try to demonstrate their contention
that deep reserve strength and team
play are superior to individually
sparked clubs when they tackle the
Philadelphia Warriors tonight in
Philadelphia. The Caps will renew
their hot feud with the Baltimore
Bullets in Uline Arena tomorrow
night at 8:45.
Tonight the Caps will be facing
the fabulous Joe Fulks and the
great Ed Sadowski, ranking second
and fourth, respectively, in the lat
est individual scoring statistics COM
piled by the Basket Ball Association
of America. Tomorrow night they
will come up against the No. 6 man
Connie Simmons.
But the brilliance of such stand
outs as Fulks. Sadowski. Simmons,
George Mikan and Jim Pollard OF
Minneapolis and Max Baslofsky OF
Chicago has left the Caps unim-
pressed. The Washington club, win
ner Of % Of 27 games and boasting
a perfect home-court record, doesn t
have any player among the league s
10 leading point-getters.
No one on the Caps aggregation
can touch Mikan's 2S.4 points per
game average. No one Is close to
Fulks' 23.3 points per game. High
est man for Washington is Bones
Mckinney with a mark Of 1873.
Washington's superiority lies in
it's distribution Of power. Whereas
Philadelphia's scoring punch is CEN
tered around Fulks and SadoWski,
the Caps can put any combination
on the floor and make a game of it.
Mckinney, Bob Feerick and Fred
die Scolari can sit on the bench
without biting their nails. Sonny
Hertzberg, Kleggie Hermsen, John
Norlander. Dick Schulz, Matt Zunic
Leo KatKaveck and Dick OKeefe
all are dangerous.
The Caps have back-court men
and under-the-basket men. When
the defense is too tight, Feerick
and Co. can stand back practically
unmoleSted and shoot baskets. When
things get hot around the back
court, Norlander, O'Keefe and Zunic
can plough their way in for layups
Coach Red Auerbach doesn't want

Feerick and Norlander both might

Interstate Turf Pact
Urged by Maryland
As Receipts Drop
BY the Asseeioted Press

| BALTIMORE, Jan. 4.-The intake
at Maryland race tracks Is dwindling
says the State Racing Commission,
and the remedy is better interstate
cooperation.
The intake last year was $8O,553,-
$50. Of which the States share was
1894 ,l02. The pari-mutuel handle
at the four one-mile tracks in Mary
land-Pimlico, Bowie, Laurel and
Havre De Grace-was lower in 1948
than 1947 by nearly s15,000OOo, or
1886 per cent.
The half-mile tracks were $500, 900
below 1947, or 800 per cent.
In its annual report to Gov. Lane,
the commission said the answer is for
Maryland and neighboring States
each to make some concessions to
the Others and restrict its number
Of days of racing within reasonable
limits"
1t added that the avoidance of
conflicting dates "is becoming diff
cult If not impossible with the in
creasing number of days OF racing in
neighboring States"
The Governor was told that con-
current sessions last year at Havre
de Grace and Garden State (Cam-
den, N. j. ended by hurting both
tracks. Another Havre de Grace
session last year, moved up to mid
summer to avoid another conflict,
did even worse
All the mile tracks showed q de-
crease, with Havre de Grace down
nearly 80 per cent and Pimlico down
more than 16 per cent.
Reviewing the first year of legal
harness racing in the State. the
group reported that the Laurel
Raceway had been the only one of
three authorized tracks which had
its plant ready in time for the
meet. 1t reaffrmed its intention to
sanction a total of only so days of
harness racing in Maryland, al
though 100 are permitted under law
The report backed request from
the county fair associations, asking
the General Assembly to tighten
the present tax schedule, which the
1947 Legislature increased almost
100 per cent" over the old excise.

A new regulation requiring en-
trance fees to accompany all entry
blanks will be enforced in the 39th
fannual Washington City Duckpin
Association tournament opening
March 81 at Brookland Recreation.
This was one Of the several i'm
Iportant changes in the tournament
setup announced yesterday by Paul
(Kenny) Beck, president of the as
sociation, at the monthly meeting
of the Metropolitan Washington
Bowling Alley Operators Asso-
citation.
Seeking remedies for many ills
that have plagued the city duckpin
championships, Beck also stated that
the main reason for one of the
earliest starting dates in the long
history OF the event was to allow the
bulk of the competition to be held
on week ends.
He pointed out that nearly three
fourths of the rolling in last years
tourney at Colonial Village was on
Saturday and Sunday.
Holding the larger part of the
tournament on week ends, Beck be-
lieyes, will find new favor with
many of the bowling operators who
in the last decade have Stunned
the event because of interference
with winter and summer league
schedules.
Although a leading light in the
promotion of bowling here for years,
Beck, who Is serving his first term
as president Of the association, said
that last years experience in sched-
uling more than 500 teams over a
three-week period with only half the
number showing up finally con-
vinced him that the old system of
letting entrance fees be posted at
the time Of bowling needed to be
changed
Karl Goehenour, Brookland Rec
reation manager, will attempt to
have all his house leagues bowl
in the tournament the first week.
March rs and q will be the first
big week end for other teams, dou-
bles and singles.

Coast Group Ignoring
Debate on Rose Bowl
Game Decisions
by the Assoeietsd Press

PALM SPRINGS, Calf, Jan. A.
The Pacific Coast Conference today
officially shut the door on all con-
troversies connected with North
Westerns 20-14 victory over CAL
ifornia In the Rose Bowl.
But arguments over decisions by
the Coast and Big Nine officials who
worked the game did not cease,
by any means, as the Coast Con-
ference went into the second day
Of its annual winter meeting at the
Desert Inn here.
AS for offlcial comment, this was
forthcoming from Victor O. Schmidt,
commissioner of the Coast loop:
I'VE had in this game four of the
finest officials in the country We
had the utmost confidence in them.
We still have that confidence. We
feel that this thought closes the
issue"
BY conference regulations. Referee
Jimmy Cain cannot at this time
make any comment on the con-
troversial plays. But Immediately
after the game he did offer an
explanation on the touchdown
credited to Fullback Art Murakowski
in the quarter which put North
western ahead, 1877.
Waldorf Discretely Quiet.
While many thought MurakowsH
fumbled before crossing the line and
that viii Lotter of California re-
covered, Cain said he took the touch
down signal from Jay Berwanger,
the field judge, that it was legal, and
so decided.
A source close to the California
team had this to say: Jimmy Cain
is one of the best IN the country
He might have booted this one, but
don't we all boot one now and
tEen?"
Lynn (Pappy) Waldorf of Cali
fornia is here, but remained dis
creetly quiet concerning what prob
ably is the most controversial of the
IS Rose Bowl classics.
Actually, most Of the postbattle
discussion was on the fast whistle
admittedly so) on Northwesterns
last-moment drive for the winning
touchdown. That came when Half
back Ed Tunnicliff was hit and
fumbled, with the ball on the North
western l2' and a California man
recovered.
Meant to Protect Player.
Cain says he blew the whistle to
preclude possible injury to Tunni-
cliff, who nine plays later won the
game with a 43-yard touchdown run.
A California recovery on the II
might we'll have led to decisive
Bear triumph.
The fast whistle? Who can an
Swer?
Otherwise, the conference meet
ing was purely routine.

 The society makes it's selections on the basis of scholastic and athe-- letic record with consideration of the students character and morals.
 Higgenbotham is popular with the student body and faculty. He has interested himself in extra curricu1ar activities. He was treas urer of the sophomore class, treas urer of the Boosters Club, and a pitcher for the J. Varsity Baseball team. He has been elected vice president of the senior class for

 At times we can get as corny as a barrel of mash.
 It doesn't bother us though be- cause we have a deep respect for corn, good corn. Strip away the new look and all the genuine things are corny, things like patriotism, and mother love, and honor, and truth, and "Auld Lang Syne" on New Years Eve. The corniest ar rangement of syllables in the speech of civilized man is, "I love you". But in language and litera- ture and the more plushy offices of tin pan alley no writer has found a better way of saying what 1t means.
 Ken Higgenbotham, a twenty one year-old Negro who is a member of the junior class at Trinity Col 1ege, Hartford has been tapped for Medusa, the senior honorary socle- ty and we find it good.
 That's a simple statement of fact and a corny expression of felling. But somehow we feel that Tabor, and Hemingway, and the Associ- ated Scribblers of Serious Senti- IuCl1C, AOSdl w. "OUAo oS AAA RN~oAAA~0 and understand.
 It is good. It's good for the man, good for his people, good for the college. Just how good it may be is difficult to evaluate, impossible to predict. We don't know. But then we don't know how large is an apple, or how high is steeple, or how gone is Vaughn, or how good is one more firm step along the road to understanding.
 We know that Higgenbotham's s being elected to Medusa is in the same class of things as Levi Jack sons being tapped for Berzelius and Skull and Bones at Yale. It's the same kind of pioneering that is represented by Wesley Browns s sticking it out to become the first Negro graduated from the United States Naval Academy at Anna polls.
 It's a hard, enervating kind of pioneering. It takes courage, and strength, and judgement, and a steady concentration on the objec- tive.

 Opponents of the measure used the argument that the national guard is a federal force and segre- cation has not been barred by the federal government. They said that ssstate officers would be burdened with administrative reorganization detail at a time when the military organization of the nation is still alerted for emergency.
 Supporters of the AVG sponsored measure pointed out that 1t was mockery for Americans to say they practice equality without even having it in the national guard !

Men have been belittled and be- rated for many things because ot their race, religion, and color, but when mans disposition and tenn perament is criticized on the basis of his race - that is the epitome of indiscretion and absurdity.
 And when have egotism and van ity become ''virtues" that only an Oriental prince of a darker hue can possess?
 Certainly we don't condone the actions of Ally Khan, but we do have the intelligence to analyze a mans emotional outbursts without bringing his race and color into the picture.
 Still further we want to see the true facts presented when Ally Khan's personal life is exhibited to
