BALTIMORE, Mar. 3.-Safely
over it's flrst-round test with a
1858 victory over Baltimore o.,
American University faces more
formidable opposition from Wash
ington College tonight in the semi
finals of the Mason-Dixon Con-
ference basketball tournament.
It figures to be a test of Amer
leans zone defense against sharp
shooting Nick Scallion. Both
worked we'll last night as the
Eagles choked off the Bees with
% points in the first half and
coasted in with the verdict, while
Scallion hung up a new tourna-
ment individual scoring record Of
"a points against Roanoke. This
topped the 81 points made last
year by Jim Lacy of Loyola.
Scallion was needed to stave
off Roanoke rally that brought
the Maroon within 3 points Of
Washington before the latter
clinched it's 70-to-64 victory. He
scored two quick field goals and a
foul to save the night. Washing
ton had a 1928 halftime lead.
Another title contender from
Virginia was eliminated as Bridge
water bowed to Loyola, 1886.
Mike Zedalis paced the win
ming attack with Is points and
Loyola did nothing to shake the
experts belief that it figures to be
Americans opponent in the title
game tomorrow night.
Loyola tonight meets Hampden-
Sydney, which outlasted the tall
Towson Teacher quintet, 53-49.
Hampden-Sydney had to come
from behind after trailing by
a 47-42 score with eight minutes
to go. Bernie Wolf, former Wash
ington high school star. led the
Teachers attack with IA points
and sank the basket that kept his
mates in the ball game at 49-all.

Griffith said firmly. presaging

I'm not going to raise him more

Liable to Suspension.
Should Stewart, who said he
has been working out in Cali

day, he'll be liable to fine and
suspension. He remains the only
unsigned player and Griffith had
anticipated little trouble In OBJ
tanning his signature.
If Stewart prolongs his finan-

only four outf1elders available for
early exhibition games. Buddy
Lewis recently quit baseball to

DURHAM, N. c., Mar. 3.-George
Washington Coach Bill Reinhart
was depressed after his Colonials
tossed away that first-round
Southern Conference basketball
tournament game to Wake Forest
yesterday, but down in his heart
Oregon Bill knows his team
wouldn't have gone past tonight's
semifinals, had it won.
Wake Forest. the Colonials' 65-
81 conqueror in a mild upset, runs
smack into North Carolina State
and while basketball admittedly is
an unpredictable game. the con-
ference should be ashamed to
charge admission for that one.
N. c. State, winner the last three
years and assured a bid to the
NCAA tournament If it takes it's
fourth straight championship,
rolled over VP1. 67-42, and has
too much class for anything when
it really means something.
Duke Takes Dullest Game.
The four frst-round games pro-
duced a strange assortment of
basketball. Everybody agreed that
Dukes 53-41 triumph over an inept
South Carolina team probably was
the dullest game in tournament
history. William and Mary, 10
points ahead of North Carolina
at one time, had to hustle at the
end to win. 50-43, and break up
an all-Carolina domination of the
semifinals. The Indians meet Duke
in the other semif1nal and should
win.
George Washington was the SEN
sation here last year. It thumped
South Carolina in the first round,
beat William and Mary in three
overtime periods in the second and
extended N. c. State in the third.
But this year the Co1onials didn't
have Maynard Haithcock-an all
tournament choice last season.

quate requirements for its gradu-
ated stars.

Saturday But the trouble was
that his team played way below
his expectations.

at halftime, and it's coach thought
1t should have been at least a
dozen points ahead. The Colonials
came out in the second half and
stood around watching in awe as
Wake Forest scored IL consecu-
tive points to go ahead, 36-29.
Wake Forest, a team that lost
Is games this season, cooled off
and G. w. started a comeback,
but every time the Colonials would
threaten to pull up. somebody
would toss the ball away with a
foolish pass. The Deacons weren't
intercepting the bale. w. was
just throwing it away, with every
body in the lineup guilty.
Misdirected Pass Costly.
With IS seconds to play, the
Colonials, trailing at 63-61, got

it smack into Jack Mueller's

Ponder May Not Start
In Citotion-Noor Race

ARCADIA, Calf. Mar. 3 P.-
Citation gets his last chance at
Santa Anita tomorrow to break
Stymie's all-time money winning
record.
The opportunity comes in the
final stake of the meeting, the
$4,000 San Juan Capistrano Han
dieap, and once again the going
may be rough for the star of the
Calumets.
For one thing he'll have to
travel a mile and three-quarters
with top weight of 130 pounds,
and he'll also have to beat the
horse that whipped him in the
100000 Santa Anita Handicap a
week ago. Charles S. Howard's
Irish-bred Moor.
Trainer Jimmy Jones kept silent
about his plans until the entry box
closed today, but last night it ap-
peared certain Citation would ac-
cept the challenge and his stable
mate Ponder might stand this one
out.
Other probable starters includ-
ed Clifford Mooers' Old Rockport
and Mocopo, the Foxcatcher
Farms Rose Beam, and Moon
rush, Hedgewood, Safe Arrival and
Dharan.
Victory in the San Juan would
be worth around $4,000 net to
the winner and send Citation COM
fortably past Stymie's mark.
Stymie's earnings total $918.485
and Citation to date has 1899 200.
Aside from these financial
aspects, the question remains
whether Citation has regained his
Triple Crown form of 1948 and
can gain revenge over Moor. Cita-
ton. roughed up in the early go
ing, looked mighty good last Sat-
urdey even though he lost.
The Howard horse, at Ito
pounds, enjoyed a % pound
weight advantage in the Santa
Anita handicap and will find this
spread narrowed to 13 pounds to-
morrow.
Ponder was handed the same
1870 given Citation which occa-
stoned screams from the Ponder
boosters. It also brought a charge
from the Calumet Stable that the
Kentucky Derby winner of 1949
was "unwelcome" in the San Juan
Old Rockport. 1t developed, suf-
fered badly in the running last
week, caught in jam and bumped
severely at the first turn. He

Tech, the District public high

Metropolitan Catholic League
champion, are the giants of high
school basketball who survive for
tonight's final of The Evening
Stars 18th annual tournament at
University of Maryland. It's a
schoolboy basketball natural that
brings together the champs of the
two best loops around here for
their only meeting this season.
Tech reached tonight's payon
contest by dethroning the defend
ing tournament champion, George
Washington of Alexandria. 42-41,
in overtime last night. st. Johns
won its place with an easier 1920
triumph over Eastern.
They meet tonight at s:45
o'clock at Ritchie Coliseum follow
ing 1880 consolation between
last nights losers. AS the sur
vivors of a tournament that
started with the eight best high
school teams from the Washing
ton Metropolitan Area they are
sure to attract capacity turnout
for tonight's championship. Last
nights crowd was more than
$500 despite the weather.
Tech OFF to Fast Start.
Last nights Tech-G. w. game
was one of the most thrilling and
exciting in the long history of a
tournament noted for tight games.
Tech started with a SO lead and
kept whiSker ahead of the
Presidents until Bob Kessler's lay
up 20 seconds before the end Of
regulation tied the score at 1880.
Three foul shots in the extra ses-
sion more than matched the one
field goal by G. w. and gave
Tech its triumph.
Techs early squirt gave it an
8-4 f1rst-period lead, and with big
Tom Megill scoring twice in the
second period it kept ahead, ills,
at halftime despite three field
goals by G. WIS Erwin Jones. The
third period was more of the same,
with the Maroons led by Bill
Breen's three goals barely man
aging to keep a step in front.
Jones too had three scores for
the Presidents during the third.
but Tech still had a 1927 edge
to carry into the final.
There Kessler. a 6-foot-2 sopho-
more who already is being watched
by college scouts. became the
G. w. hero. He kept the Presi-
dents in the game with four field
goals. the last of which was a
layup 20 seconds before the end
and pulled them even at 1899 for
the first time.
Techs taller players controlled
the ball through most of the three
minute overtime session. Ths
Maroons missed their only two
attempts at baskets during that
session, but two foul shots by
Smoky Kernan and another by
Bill Breen gave them a three
point lead before the Presidents
even got a shot at their own net.
Smiley Moore made good that
shot 20 seconds before the end Of
the overtime, and Tech was able
to keep control and save the game
as time ran out.
Foul Shots Pay OFF.

Tech in the overtime also kept
it in front through the regular
game. The Presidents outscored
