George Washington and Duke,
with scoring averages of 81 and
SO points per game, respectively,
meet at Uline Arena at $3.50 to-
night in the Districts final college
basketball activity of 1852.
Both the favored Colonials and
Blue Devils have shown a decided
preference for offensive basketball
this season. Duke three times has
scored in the COS and CIV set a
school record with 107 points
against South Carolina last Satur-
day and twice has scored in the
COS.
George Washington hopes to
break its habit of losing to the top
LEANS of the Southern Conference.
The Colonials have won all four
OF their games against the second
division teams. but they have only
moral victories" to show against
West Virginia and North Carolina
State. They lost by a point at Nor
gantown and bowed to N. c. State
after leading by IA.
Duke has a AZ record for the
season after a three-point defeat
at the hands of Temple Saturday
night in Philadelphia. The Blue
Devils also lost to Wake Forest
and defeated Vanderbilt, Wash
ington and Lee, Tennessee and
Davidson.
Duke Players Bunched.
Now that Dick Groat has grad
uated. some of the other Duke
players are getting their names in
the papers. The Duke players are
so closely punched in scoring
that Bernie Janicki jumped from
fourth to first with a 19-point
spree against Temple. Tied for
second with IS points each in six
games are Bill Reigel, Rudy
D'Emilio and Rudy Lacy. D'Emilio
was third high scorer behind
Groat and Janicki last year, and
Reigel is a sophomore.
Duke beat George Washington
twice last year but the Colonials
with what appears to be a vastly
improved team, should gain re-
venge for one of those defeats
tonight.
HOlups Rank High.
The Holup brothers, Joe and
John, not only have given CIV q
new scoring punch but between
them have accounted for most of
the rebounds. In the conference
scoring records, Joe Holup is
sixth with a 1913 average and
John has 1873.
Ken Hirschfield, Elliott Karver
and Walt Devlin also will start for
CIV, but Coach Bill Reinhart has
Tex Silverman, Ed Catino, Buzz
lCirello and a number of others
who figure to see early action.

By me Asseeio.ed Press

MIAMI. Fla. Dec. 22.-The
|Shrine's North South charity foot
ball game in the Orange Bowl
Christmas night is developing
some keen rivalry among the
seven coaches pooling their talents
for the fifth annual all-sta1
clash.
The North has won only once
Ia 20-14 deciseion in 1949-and Is
anxious to take this one. But
what whetted the rivalry was
Miami Coach Andy Gustafson's
decision to use the split-T in the
South's attack.
He signed Maryland's Jim Tatum
and gave him free reign to get the
best talent available for a split-1
offensive team. Tatum brought
lalong his own All-America quar-
Iterback, Jack Scarbath, and his
Ifullback, Ed Fullerton.

Tatum also invited Missouri's

and Virginia's Bob Tata. McPhail

pass, run, fake, catch passes and
do just about everything else to
make the split-T click.
Stu Holcomb of Purdue, the
North's head coach. brought In
Red Sanders of UCLA to mold a
defensive team to shackle the
split-T. Sanders is drilling the
defense in a 4-4-3 specially-geared
formation.
Observers have labeled it the
