HAMPDE Ms YDNEY. Va,
Jan. 10. - The gentlemen of
Hampden-Sydney's asketb a II
squad do not prefer blonds after
seeing one. Sherwood Webster,
chalk up 20 points to pace Amer
ican University to a 1856 vic
tory over the Tigers last night,
swapping Hampden-Sydney' home
court winning streak at Is games.
Sherwood's sharpsh shoe ting
helped the Eagles take 1923
edge at the half en- route to their
victory and a 500 rating for the
season. It also ended a two-game
losing streak for Staff CasselPs
pupils and helped dispel the no
ton they aren't good road team.
Webster had help from Ronnie
Garshag and Bob Lamon, who
pumped 13 and IL points through
the hoop, respectively, but the tall
blond was the big gun. Dick MIS-
enhelter' paced the Tigers with
18 points.
1t was Hampden-Sydney's first
loss in regular Mason-Dixon Con-
ference competition in two years.
American u, meeting Mount st.
Mary's on the Eagles court Friday
night and moving over to Brook

forging ahead in the conference
race if it succeeds in sweeping the

Scout for Talent on Coast

Turk Edwards, who resigned as

keep his hand in football by serv-

Redskins on the West Coast, he
said today. In his new role of a

he'll pass the word to the Tribe

since his contract extended until
February /. It also was thought
he would become associated with

The Lafayette Journal and

diate resignation of Mel

said, "has been almost unani-

the best interest of Purdue

Taube, whose teams have

his four seasons at Purdue,

The 6-foot-4 center, who is the
leading scorer among the major
colleges with 24.4 per game aver
age, injured his right ankle when
the Indians beat Washington and
Lee, 80-56. Saturday night and
is not even scheduled to make
the trip.
Giermak's ankle was reported
swollen to balloon" size, and
even if the ankle should respond
to treatment he probably would
be kept out of the game and
saved for the Indians test with
North Carolina State on Thurs
day.
Oddly enough, in three of the
four games which Giermak has
scored under IS points, William
and Mary has won. In their 30
point total against the Generals
on Saturday, Giermak made only
IL points, SO Maryland still will
have its hands full.
The Indians are the only major
team in the Southern Conference
without defeat. The Citadel
and v. M. I. have not played a

outside competition and are not
counted in the tournament race.
The Indians conference record is

Mile Race Shaping Up
As One Of Big Events
In Star Track Meet
VETERAN STAFF to Handle
Star Games. Page Ais.

What started out to be just a
good mile race in The Star Games
at the Armory Saturday night
now shapes up as one of the truly
great events of the 1850 indoor
campaign. One of the classiest
fields to face q starter anywhere
on the boards this winter will
whirl around the big track in
quest of the Junior Chamber of
Commerce Trophy.
More interest was pumped into
the race today when Games Di-
rector Dorsey Griffith announced
that Per Anderson of Norway. a
freshman at Alfred College, had
entered the race. Anderson will
replace John Barry. the Irish mile
champion, who will enroll at VIII
lanova this week. Barry's sensa-
tional 2-mile workouts, in which
Coach Jumbo Elliott of Villanova
clocked him under 9 minutes,
prompted him to switch to that
event. The move is expected to
improve both races.
Holmberg Debut on Boards.
Checkers who hoped to get an
accurate line on George Wade Of
Yale, defending mile champion in
the games, and ALT Holmberg. the
swift Swede who is now a fresh
man at the University of Ten
nessee, in the Brooklyn Knights
of Columbus games last Saturday
night were disappointed.
Wade beat a 40-man field in
4:20.3, but Holmberg, making his
debut on a board track, had to be
satisfied with second after fight
ing his way to the front at the
three-quarters mark.
The experts saw enough, how
ever, to convince them that the
story may have a different end
ing at the Armory Saturday night,
although Wade was fresh enough
to go back and win the 1000
yard run later in the evening.
Holmberg is expected to do better
on the Armory's fiat track, which
also will give him plenty of rae
ing room. Instead of 40 eager
beavers he'll face only eight sea-
soned opponents.
Twomey Hard Luck Victim.
Handicappers who expected to
get a line on Jack Twomey. Ma
tional AAU 1,500-meter champ in
the Sugar Bowl Mile. also were
disappointed when a runner
stepped on his heel, knocking
Twomey down and putting him
out Of contention. Twomey made
up ~ yards but was too far back
to place in the event. With better
racing luck he figures to be a
factor in Saturdays mile rornp.
Don Gehrmann Of Wisconsin
can't exactly be ignored in the
race. He was unbeaten at the
mile distance last winter and last
week was reported to have stepped

Wade's figures in the K. vf c..
games and those of Holmberg in
the Sugar Bowl Mile.
Fred Wilt. who won the K. of c.
2-mile run in 9:062, the fastest
yet run by an American in an
armory, and Hugo Maiocco of New
York University. who won the 500
yard dash in STA seconds. also the
fastest time at that distance in
an armory. will not be in The Star
Games. They are committed to
the Metropolitan AAU champ ion
ships at New York Saturday, but
Griffith expects to have both next
year.
Another New York victor, Phil
Thigpen. who ran 1858 half

pic 800-meter champ, by half
yard, has appeared before in The
