second fiddle to any other dst-dghter. But
the aging Bomber, even melted down to 208
pounds, no longer is the exciting craftsman
of yore. Nor does he have rival to match
La Motta for color.
In Difference to the mounting interest in
the Robinson-La Motta scrap, the Illinois

| It's almost official that for the
first time since George Washing
ton University became the 10th
member of the Southern Con-
ference in 1941, the Colonials will
not be represented in the annual
basketball tournament, scheduled
this year in Raleigh March !, 2. 8.
The Colonials. who knew they
needed two victories on their
three-game trip into North Caro-
lima to stay in the first division,
ended the tour last night with
their third straight defeat, $3.50,
at the hands of the University Of
North Carolina.
George Washington now has
five conference triumphs and eight
defeats. Even if they win their
last four games against William
and Mary, South Carolina, Glenn
son and Maryland-which is un-
likely-they would show only a
9-8 conference record. This year
the qualifying teams arc going
to have to win two or three more
games than they lose. CIV now
is three full games behind the
ninth-place team. and only eight
qualify.
American University, which tied
its home court scoring record with
a 90-61 triumph over the Univer-
sity of Baltimore, saved the Dis
trict teams from a shutout in five
games last night.
Georgetown lost a hve-point
lead with less than 10 minutes to
play and was beaten, 1910. by
Penn State at Uline Arena. Cath
olic University dropped to 10th
place in the Mason-Dixon Confer
ence by losing, 64-63, to Western
Maryland at Westminster, and
Gallaudet was beaten by Lycom-
ing, 81-54. at Anacostia High

West opened his singleton heart,

Prospects did not look good to de-

quite unreachable because of South's

scarcely be accommodating enough

Thus, it seemed all too likely that
South would come out with four

if East did not lead trump, dunn

The tube Of aluminium is then

the body of the can. It is then
cut of the roll and a top and bot
tom are applied.

Subcommittee questioning of
Mr.. Williams brought out also
that one of the main reasons
why the st. Louis firm sought
an RFC loan in November,
1948, was to pay off its
outstanding obligation on the

mended disapproval of the appli-

OF the applicants inability to
service the loan." On February

making the loan.
In September. 1949, Mr.. Will
