just another ball club in losing
their Basket Ball Association Of
America finale, 82-70, to the
New York Knickerbockers last
night at Uline Arena. Only 1,649
fans were present.
The Caps had plenty Of fight,
though. Their spirit reached the
boiling point with only seconds
remaining and exploded with a
furry of fists near the Caps free
throw line.
Kleggie Hermsen and Irv Ro-
thenberg, former Cap now with
the Knicks, began. trading punches
first. When Rothenberg landed on
the floor his teammate. Lee Knor-
elk, came running out-probably
to help stop it. Instead he was
stopped with a punch from Matt
Zunic. Spectators and players
alike swarmed the floor at this
point. but cooler heads prevailed
and order was restored. Both
Hermsen and Rothenberg were ex-
PEELED by officials.
Caps Weak From Foul Line.
But unless the rules are changed
drastically, fiSticuffS won't win
the BAA championship for the
Caps. With Feerick out with an
injured knee and Scolari benched
with a broken finger, the Caps
hope for the crown seems dim

The Caps will start their play
offs on Wednesday by meeting
Philadelphia in Philadelphia in
the first game of a best-tWo-of-
three series. The second game will
be here on Thursday, and the
third, if necessary, here next Sat-
'urday night.
Philadelphia dropped down to
fourth place in the loop last night
when beaten by st. Louis, 109-lOO,
in overtime at st. Louis. while
Baltimore replaced it in third spot
with a 99-79 triumph over Fort
Wayne. Even if Philadelphia wins
it's final game tomorrow it still
will remain in fourth place. al
though it will have a won-lost
record identical with Baltimore's.
The Bullets have beaten the War

In Last 58 Seconds
by the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 19.-The
University of San Francisco won
the National Invitation Basket
Ball Tournament tonight in the
final So seconds with 48-47 de-
cision over Loyola of Chicago.
A free throw by Ross Guidice
gave the Dons the victory. Loyola
which had never led, knotted the
count with less than a minute to
play. Ralph Klaerich Of Loyola
stole the ball as the West Coast
club stalled for time. He raced
in, sank his basket, and the score
was tied at 47-47.
Then, seconds later, Ed Earle
fouled Guidice. The short, dark
haired guard who had played only
as a reserve in the. tournament
took aim calmly and sank the
point.
In the hectic stalling that fol.
lowed, Loyola fouled three more
times. Each time San Francisco
refused the shot and took the bal
out of bounds instead. The stal
was successful and the game ended
with Rene Herrerias, the smallest
player on the court, holding the
ball in his own territory.
Don Gets Good Early Lead.
A sensational first-half scoring
burst by Don Lofgran gave Sar
Francisco a comfortable lead most
of the way. ,Lofgran poured II
II points in the first half. He
couldn't buy a basket in the second
half, getting only a single fielc
goal and a foul shot for a total OF
20 points.
Immediately after the game
Lofgran was selected as the most
valuable player in the tournament
The game was advertised as q
personal scoring duel between Lof-
gran and six-foot-six Jack Ker-
ris of Loyola. Lofgran had al.
the better of it. Despite his Sec

blond Don was the backbone o1

Nursing Superintendent at Gallinger
Reports on Impressions of Europe
By Ruth Dean

The development of the inde-

pressed Miss Beatrice E. Ritter,
superintendent of nursing at Gal
linger Hospital. on a recent trip
to Europe, that she would like to
see an experimental school of the
same type set up in this country.
Miss Ritter was one of $50
nurses from the United States
who attended the international
Congress of Nurses in Stockholm
last month. The trip, made under
the aegis of the Columbia Univer-
sity Study Tour. included visits
to eight countries. including Eng
land, Norway. Finland, Sweden,
Denmark. Belgium, France and
Switzerland.
Pointing out the merits of an
independent nursing school, Miss
Ritter said in an interview on her
return last week, "the advantage
lies in the fact that this type of
school can choose experienced
young women for training as pro-
fesSional nurses and can give
them a more specialized type of
course"
There would be problems in
setting up such an experimental
type of school, however, the nurs-
ing superintendent cautioned. I'VE
would want to be sure in taking
the school away from the immedi-

essence OF nursing service would
still be retained" She added that
her visits to the countries where
she observed this new type of
training did not afford her time
enough to judge the effectiveness
of this side of the problem.
The nursing superintendent re-
called her visit to the Ecole Amyot
In Paris. where. she said, she was
'gratifled" to see the results of
this type of training. This school
was made possible. she pointed
out. through the financial assis-
tance of Miss Ann Morgan, phil
anthropist daughter of the late
j. Pierpont Morgan. Many of
the graduates of Amyot are in
important health and school po-
sitions in France today" she said.
Miss Ritter expressed her in
terest in the increasing effort be-
ing shown by European countries
in the field of community health.
In practically all the countries
in which we visited, I noticed the
nurses were given great deal of
instruction in social work and
social legislation" she said.
When asked about her observa-
.tions of the effects of the national
health insurance plan in England,
Miss Ritter hesitated to give a
verdict. declaring, Il think gen.
eraliZationS are dangerous. It
will take years for the new health
plan to become stabilized and to
be able to judge the results" With
the reminder that government
control of health services in Eng
land has only been in effect less
than a year, she added, Il think
that any one who goes over there
for stay of less than six months
and attempts an evaluation of the
present setup is really overesti-
mating his abilities"
During her weeks stay in Lon
don, Miss Ritter said she and her
party saw several of the larger
hospitals and health centers. in
cluding the Peckham Health
Center which is experimenting in
family social recreation and
health program.
I'VE were especially thrilled to
see st. Thomas Hospital where
modern nursing was born with
the work of Florence Nightingale"
she said. The group also visited
one of the oldest hospitals in
England, st. Bartholomew, built
in 1923 AID.
The fact that the hospitals and
medical and nursing schools are
now under government manage
ment hasn't caused any signif1-
cant change" Miss Ritter OBJ
served.
She said she found the English
nurses quite anxious" to prepare
more nurses for the public health
services offered by the govern
ment. She added. however. that
in no country that she visited did
she find the women as career
minded as they are in the United
States, and that for this reason,
enlistment of their interest is a
much harder task.
There is a growing interest to- |
ward expanding the health serv-
ices in all the countries visited"
she said, particularly to benefit
the aged and the chronically sick"
She said she was especially i'm
pressed with the increased atten-
ton to individual patient care in !
England and the Scandinavian
countries, where more and more |
practical nurses are being enlisted
to supplement the duties of the
