Tech plays Coolidge for the
third time this season in the finals
of The Stars Metropolitan basket
ball tournament at College Park
tonight, but despite their two pre-
vious victories the Trainers are
only a slight favorite over the
"Cindrella" team of the event.
The Colts are a "hot" team, no
doubt about it. judging by the way
they have handled the tourna-
ment's toughest assignments so
far this week. They were un-
seeded in the event and had to
take on two tough teams. The
first night they upset George
Washington, Northern Virginia
champion, and last night they
showed that was no fluke by doing
the same to St. Johns. the
Catholic League champion.
Tonight in Tech. they meet the
District public high champion and
they're in a mood to continue their
upset string.
The Trainers beat Coolidge, 30
81, in regular season play, and
1853 in the interhigh champion
ship finals last Saturday but the
Colts seem to be improving with
each game.
4,300 See Thrillers.
In last nights semi finals, Cool
idge came roaring from behind in
the las: 80 seconds to end St.
Johns 20-game winning streak
over high school teams. 53-49.
Tech surged as usual in the third
quarter to beat Gonzaga, 57-34, in
the opener before big crowd OF
4,300.
Tonight's title game will start
at about 8:45 pm. at Ritchie Coli
scum, following a 1880 prelin1i-
nary between Washington-Lee and
Montgomery Blair, two good teams
that lost their first-round tourney
assignments by five points.
Despite its two previous losses
to Tech, Coolidge is surprisingly
optimistic about tonight's game
and on the basis of their tourna-
ment action, the Colts have reason
to be.
I'm not making any predic-
tions," said Julian Colangelo, Cool
idge coach. We'll have to play
good ball to beat them, but we
can score enough points to do it
and if we can hold their scoring
down We'll win"
He Could Be Right.
Fans who have watched Cool
idge play the hottest basketball
in the tournament won't go out
on limb and say Colangelo is
wrong. So tonight's game should
be battle and provide suitable
ending to a tournament that has
had it's full share of excitement.
Last night, the Colts trailed
almost from the first quarter on.
They were behind, 1888, at one
point in the fourth period and
still beat ST. Johns with a furious
rally. To climax things Coolidge
had to return to the floor and play
an additional 10 seconds after the
final gun had sounded.
Whistle Went UnnOticed.
Trailing by two points with less
than a minute to play. Carl Hev-
ener finally batted the ball
through the nets to tie the score
after a wild scramble under the
st. Johns basket. With Is Sec
onds remaining. Jim Gradijan
was all alone under the nets to
score a game-winning layup. st.
Johns raced to front court and
tried two hurried shots, but Cool
idge finally gained possession and
the gun went off with the Colts
moving in for another score.

Wives of officials in Washing
ton can start packing away their
finery today with pleasant men,
ories of two very colorful and
crowded days. Particular care will
be given to storing, the seldom
used long white kid gloves. which
during the Royal visit once again
became popular.
Last evenings dinner at the
Canadian Embassy. hosted by
Princess Elizabeth and the Duke
of Edinburgh in honor Of Presi-
dent and Mrs. Truman, was the
finale of the official entertaining
during their Washington visit.
In the company for the white

filled silver bowls were in the
center of the table, on which
Pointe de Venise lace mats were
used. The Royal Doulton china
trimmed in blue and gold; the
old English rattail pattern silver,
and some of the crystal used bears
the Canadian crest.
Fireplace Not Used
NO nre was burning In the din
ing room fireplace, for when the
table is pulled out to its full size,
the far end would be too near the
fireplace. But warmth was felt
from the soft candle glow reflect
ing on the soft gray walls, the
blue-green damask draperies. the
unlighted chrystal chandeliers and
the handsome paintings loaned by
the National Art Gallery of
Canada.
All of the food served at the
dinner was prepared in the En-
