EIBOURNE. Australia, Dec

MELBOURNE, Australia, Dec. Z.
America new Davis Cup
doubles combination of Ted
Schroeder and Tony Trabert
looked like money in the bank
in thrashing the Australian pair
of Adrian Quist and Geoff Brown,
Us, GA, 6-3, in the final round
of the Victorian tennis cham
pionship today.
The result never was in ques-
ton once Ted and his young Navy
helper rallied after being down,

ing away under a blazing hot sun
in Kooyong Stadium.
The pair who will represent
Uncle Sam against Sweden in the
interzone finals here next Thurs
day. swept through four victories
in the tournament without losing
set-all against Australian op-
ponents.

The only thing they didn't do
was to hang it on the Aussies' big
team of Frank Sedgman and Ken
McGregor and they weren't given
a chance to do that. Australia's S

ried as the challenge round nears.
withdrew Frank and Ken from
circulation.
They might regret this step as
Schroeder and Trabert gained
valuable experience in this tour
nament and now are confident
they can take the Aussie pair in
their next meeting. The two felt
before that Sedgman and Nc
Gregor were lucky to edge them
in the flve-set final of the New
South Wales tournament two
weeks ago at Sydney.
The failure of Quist and Brown
to make a better showing today
at least took Australia's Cup Sc
lectors off the spot. Not that they
had intended to invite the pickup
pair to play in the challenge round
mo matter how today's final went
Selectors would have been in un-
enviable positions If Adrian and
Geoff had won.
It looked as though the veteran
Quist and his partner had some
thing of the sort in mind, too
when they broke the Americans
service in succession at the start
of the match and grabbed a Al
advantage in games. A question

Aussie players looking at linesmar

loss of his delivery.

play held the team together in

down. In one series of five con-

Honors Memory Of
Father Mel Donouqh

Georgetown University tonight
will honor the memory of the late
and beloved Rev. Vincent Nc
Donough, S. j., member of the
faculty at the Hilltop for % years,
when it dedicates a million -and-
quarter gym in his name. Nc
IDonough Memorial Gymnasium.
An elaborate week end of dedi-
cation is planned for the new
building on the campus. The first
competition, of course, will be be-
tween Georgetown's hopeful bas-
|ketball team and what has been
termed the best Fordham team in
"a decade.
Game time is $50, following a
formal presentation of the gym
to the university by the Alumni
Association at 8 o'clock. The as
sociation has spearheaded the
fund drive for the gymnasium's
construction.
Program Continues Tomorrow.
A gymnasium at the Hilltop was
a topic of conversation in the days
of Father McDonough, who was
prefect of discipline and faculty
moderator of athletics. Follow
ing his death at the university
In 1889, the gym was planned as
a memorial to him.
The dedication continues tomor-
row with a solemn high mass of
dedication; a reception by the
president and board of directors
in the afternoon. and a formal
ball at night. Sundays program
of low mass and concert by
the National Symphony Orchestra
concludes the dedication week end.
The gym is not yet completed
but work has been rushed to have
it in usable condition for the
opening of the basketball season
Temporary wooden seats. holding
5000 later will be replaced by
folding bleachers seating 1890.
Provides for All Sports.
The new gym is far more than
a basketball court. 1t will include
the only regulation squash court
in the District, a boxing arena, six
bowling alleys and provision for
all intramural sports. The 2,48O
square foot stage is one of the
biggest in the District. All the
athletic Offices will be in the gym.
The Georgeown basketball team,
coached for the third year by one
of the Hilltop court greats, Buddy
O'Grady. will attempt this season
to live up to the great buildup il
received last year. The virtual
all-sophomore team never coulo
get going last season and finished
with victories and IA defeats.
However, all of the boys are
back. more matured, more expert
enced in basketball ways. and
undoubtedly with a revised con-
cept of their abilities.
4 New Workers To Start.
Four New Workers, Hugh Beins,
Bill Bolger, Dennis Murphy and
Barry Sullivan, probably will start
along with Johnny Hekker OF
North Arlington. N. J. Beins is the

Dope Charge

Pittsburgh, Sept. 81 (INS)-
Former Middleweight contender
Charley Burley today was held
for court in Pittsburgh charged
with violation of the State Mar
cotics Act.
Burley, 81, told Magistrate John
Fiorucci that he had helped a
friend get some dope as a favor
but admitted:

of favor"
The friend, Eddie Hines, rs, al
SO a former boxer, denied impli-
cation but was held on a dope
peddling charge also.
Patrolman Robert BUTLER, a
member of the police narcotic
squad, told the Magistrate the
squad set a trap after receiving
a tip alleging that Burley was
selling dope in Pittsburgh's hill
district.
Burley, a feared foe for less
than ten years ago, was repeated

feared his knockout punch and

Apparently he realizes that he
actually is a paid servant of the
public-gaid with some of the
taxes taken by the state from gate

the final judge regardless of what
the governor may think.
The new chairman should i'm
mediately acquaint himself with
certain reforms which have worked
so admirably in the states beyond

use eight-ounce gloves and make
mandatory an eight-count on

here in the ring.
W. need clincs for officials to
make sure that they know their
business in handling this most
brutal of all sports. And the me-

weak group ever had.
Christenberry, VIRTUALLY .un-
known to boxing circles, is, like
his predecessor, Eddie Eagan,
strictly a political appointee. He
campaigned for Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey in the last election.
However, Christenberry has been
voted five times the nations No.
l hotel man, as ClerStor of the
Aston in New York, and for II
consecutive terms he has been
president of the broadway associa-
ton.
He is going to find the boxing
racket different from the business
world in which he has distinguish
ed himself, but the fact that he
has no boxing ties plus his deter
mination to apply business princi-
pies to his new job argue we'll for
him.
In his first news conference,
shortly after his appointment was
announced by Dewey yesterday, he
said he regarded boxing in New
York as a fine stimulus for bus
mess. It brings people to the city.
Many Of them require board and
lodging lat places like the Astor)
and he plans to see that boxing is
conducted properly.
, That is a solid business approach
to what has become a major head
ache. The commission cannot op-
crate part-time or piece-meal, and
Christenberry also is aware Of the
time and thought he must devote
to the part-sport, part-business,
part-swindle that boxing is today.
He cannot play favorites and he
must run it strictly in the inter-
est of the public without regard
fer promoters, managers and the
others in it. They will take care
Of themselves.
He may not know it yet, but he
also is going to run into political
instructions. Ward leaders will
demand a hand in appointment Of
ring officials. S,me will be IN
competent for such an important
spot, more important now than
ever before. We have had three
ring deaths in New York city in
less than two years and several
,unsavory Incidents.
How he will handle the pressure
from politicians will provide to
some extent a measure of his a.
bility to handle his new job.
He already has announced one
change in policy which indicates
his eagerness to rebuild confidence
in the commission and in boxing,
Hearings and meetings will be
open to press and public and not
hold in socrot with t00 few an.

San Francisco (P)-Judges
of the Ninth u. S. Circuit
Court of Appeals became in

Alaskan's property tax might
be Constitutional but is being

tered"
They expressed interest
while hearing an appeal from
a District Court decision hold
ing the act invalid. The appel
ate court took the appeal
under advisement.
The tax, adopted by the
territorial Legislature III l949,
would levy a en- perce t tax
on Alaska property.

Attorney General J. Gerald
Williams of Alaska if it was
not possible that the tax itself
is constitutional but is being
unconstitutionally admins

Williams agreed.
He contended the tax was
uniform throughout the terri

had a right, by classification,
to arrange for different
methods of taxation for diff
ferent segments of the terri
tory.
