Holly Minis finally is the cham
plon of Garland Edwards. These
local middleweights wound up
their rivalry last night at Turner S

for going after tournament

This will be done, sources close

simultaneously acceptance of bids
to play in both the big postseason

tation and the NCAA.
Kentucky and st. Louis re-
ceived formal bids yesterday to

Eastern Title In Bag,
No Letup for Caps
Against Rochester
Special pispoteh 10 The s'ar

ROCHESTER, N. Y. Mar l.
The Washington Caps aren't going
to let the fact that they've
clinched the Eastern Division
title in the Basket Ball Association
of America SLOW their play any.
saws Coach Red Auerbach. Which
is lust as we'll because the Caps
need to be as good as ever tonight
when they tangle here with the
Rochester Royals before returning
to Washington for tomorrow
nights game against the st. Louis
Bombers.
The Caps made certain Of the
Eastern title last night in Chicago
with a 67-57 triumph over the
Stays. It was pleasure to beat
the Stays because that is the club
which knocked the Caps out OF the
playoffs for two years in a row.
The game was played before a
% turnout of 20,O46 at Chicago Sta
dium which set a BAA record.
In facing the Royals tonight the
Caps will be against a team that
has a better record. The Royals
have won SO and dropped IL for a
1865 percentage while the Caps
stand at 36-16 1872.
A last-period rally made the
difference in Washington's favor
last night after the Stays carried a
45-44 margin into the final. Jack
Nichols, with a pair of timely field
goals, and Dick Schultz. who got
six foul shots paced the Caps in
that late drive. Schultz also did
q bangup job of guarding Max
Zaslofsky. Also playing expertly
on the defense was Bones McKln-
ney who restricted his old rival,
Chuck Gilmur. to four free-
throws while personally coutrib-
uting seven points. Nichols was
high man for the Caps with l3,
followed by Bob Feerick with IL.

Britain For

BY Milton Friedman

LAKE SUCCESS, .(JTA)-Dr.
Ralph J. Bunche, acting United
Nations Palestine mediator, has
informed the British delegation
at Lake Success that it was Brit
ain, rather than Israel, which
violated the Palestine truce by re-
inforcing the garrison at Aqaba
several days ago.
DR.. Bunche said Israel was with
in it's rights in moving troops to
the nearby Elath area. He added
that if a breach had been COM
mitted, it was Britain which con-
travened the Security Council
resolution OF last July by sending
troops to Aqaba and then rein
forcing the garrison there.
The mediator pointed out that
the recently concluded armistice
between Egypt and Israel did not
restrict Israel's freedom of move
