They waged a bruising 10-round

weighed 1853 and Villemain 164.
Relying upon a snaky left jab.
Hayes, who has been making rapid
strides this season, swept the first
four rounds by comfortable mar

swinging from a crouch, made
effective use of his tWo-fisted body
attack.
They battled toe -to-toe during
the last two furious rounds, and

Spartan Rout Of Irish
And Stanford SURGE
Top Grid Surprises
BY the Assoeioted Press

Two outstanding surprises
marked college football this year,
according to representative
cross section of the Nations sports
writers and broadcasters.
They were:
l. The ease and power with
which Michigan State butchered
Notre Dame, 35 to 0, and
2. Standford's brilliant showing
in winning nine straight games
for the Pacific Coast Conference
title and bid to the Rose Bowl.
There were many other surprises
during the turbulent season just
ended, but these two ranked far
ahead of all others. In fact, in
an Associated Press poll of 103
writers and broadcasters, the
Michigan State e-Notre Dame game
and Stanford's showing each re-
ceived II votes.
Following these was Princeton
turning in its second straight un-
defeated season after losing most
of its varsity. Six voters picked
this as the top surprise. But, of
course. the Tigers didn't lose ALL

a one-man team himself.

Hoyas at Their Best
In Rolling Up Victory
Over Catholic |. Five
By Lewis z. Atchison

The story about last nights
basketball game between George
town and Catholic U. at George
town is that the Hoyas had too
much of everything-height, speed.
experience, condition and ability
for the Cardinals.
1t was a surprisingly good game
for the first half. but the Hoyas
won with expected ease as they
rolled up a final 1874 margin.
That was the second game in a
row in which they doubled up on
the opposition. having beaten
Randolph-Macon 1889 Saturday
night.
Georgetown was at its best and
would have beaten a much more
talented team than Gus. The
Hoyas have the players and the
plays, and last night they really
worked together setting up the
plays and getting in with the
ball. They look ready to give
Princeton good game when the
Tigers move into McDonough gym
Thursday night.
Hoyas Start Slowly.
Georgetown had only a 17-16
lead at the end of the first quar-
ter, but this rose to 40-36 at
halftime, and after that the team
really rolled over the tired Car
dinals. Gu showed its lack of
condition in the second half, and
it had no chance at all under the
basket against such tall GU play
ers as Bill Bolger, Hugh 3ains
and Denny Murphy.
Coach Abe Rosenfeld of Cath
olic U tried some new defensive
tactics to stop Georgetown's fast
break. keeping three men back
even when the Cardinals were
shooting fouls. That worked pref
ty well when the Cardinals were
fresh.
Coach Buddy o O'Grady of George
town put Tony Durmowcz to
guarding Joe Della Rata, the Gu
big wheel who had been averag-
ing more than % points a game.
Tony limited Della Rata to five
points. On the few shots Della
Rata got he had to dribble in
under and past the basket for
trick backhand or overhead tries.
Trapp, Freeman Try Hard.
Mickey Trapp and Hal Freemen
were the Gu scorers who kept
their team close to Georgetown
in the first period, but George
towns Barry Sullivan got hot and
scored II of his 81 points in the
flrst half. Following him in scor-
ing was Bolger with II points.
while tops for Gu was Trapp with
13.
Inc Vlctory was Georgetown S
third after an opening loss, while
Tor Gu it was a sixth defeat
against one victory. Gu gets
back in its own league tomorrow
night as host to Towson Teachers
and should do better.
Georgetown's junior varsity
bounced back from its defeat by
Tech High School last Saturday
night by beating Fort Meade, IL
81, in preliminary. Tippy Lar
kin. former Gonzaga player, led
the Jayvees with Is points. The
Soldiers were without two of their
stars. Dick Schnittker and Jack |,

Whether your Christmas fur is
''broadtail" Persian, or caracul" the
chances are it came from South
west Africa.
Karakul sheep have been sue
|cessfully transplanted to Africa
where today they are a main crop
and important dollar Garner. The
industry has grown rapidly until
Africa has become one of the prin-
cipal karakul producers.
The United States, while still the
greatest user of karakul pelts, pro-
duces comparatively few, preferring
to depend on imports.
Karakul breed of sheep is espe-
cially priced for the production OF
lamb skins utilized as fur. Roughly
the skins are divided into three
classes: 'Broadtail" Persian" and
"caracul." The first is obtained
from prematurely born lambs, the
second from lambs $40 days old
and caracul from skins of lambs
weeks to months old.
Karakul is a hardy breed, able to
get along on starvation rations,
drawing on surplus fat stored in
their tails to see them through lean
days. The origin of the present-day
karakul is said to be Bokhara,
Russia, although it is Of record that

too. You'd have to travel pretty
far to find something nicer than
being the child of a Santa Claus!
Then one year, when Belinda was
8 years old, something happened.
One morning, little while be-
fore Christmas, Poppy and Belinda
started out for the great store
where Poppy worked. They had
plenty of time and it was bright
cheerful morning so they walked
instead of taking a bus as they
usually did.
The Streets Were Decorated.
1t was lovely walk. There were
Christmas wreaths on all the doors

streets were decorated with fir and

CHAPTER ONE

Once upon a time there was q
little girl named Belinda. She had
no mother. But she did have q
father and her father was Santa
Claus.
OF course, he wasn't the really
truly Santa Claus who lives at
the North Pole. No. Poppy (Be-
linda called her father. Poppy
was a make believe Santa. You
see many make believe Santas
around town these days: In the
stores, on street corners, at school
parties.
Now, Poppy was Santa Claus at
a great department store in q
great city. 1t was a job he had for
six weeks every year and it was
the only job he had. The rest of
the time he stayed home and kept
house for his little girl, Belinda.
Naturally, when a man works
only six weeks a year his family
doesn't have whole lot of money
to live on. But Belinda and Poppy
managed fine and Belinda thought

that a singular word or name may
end in IS, thus creating the illu-
sion of being a plural. But send
ing words are no exception to the
standard and accepted rule.
When in doubt as to how to write
a plural, use this key: Write the
word or name as you would pro-
nounce it. .....

however, away from the formal and
toward the informal, and many

centuries for its persian lambs"
The rise of Soviet collective farm
ing with its deadening effect on
initiative, has given alert South
west African breeders the opportu-
nifty to compete in the world mar
kets. The report for 1949 was 2
million pelts with greater increases
assured for 1851.
Germans were the first to intro
duce karakul sheep into Africa,
starting the industry in 1903 with
stock brought from Bokhara. The
sheep were allergic to the climatic
conditions in Germany, the venture
was not a success. Africa, then a
possession of Germany, was chosen
as an ideal hot, dry, non-humid
climate with sparse vegetation.
The prosperity of the farmer and
of the country largely depends on
the production of these hardy sheep.
Not only the pelts are a ready
source of income, but the wool from
older animals, to say nothing of
the mutton needed for food.
