It's much too early in the
basketball season to be speak
ing of potential league cham
pionS, but it's not too early to
speculate on the fact that the
George Washington University
basketball team might be the
most expensive thing to hit the
new Southern Conference.
The old Southern basketball
tournament in Raleigh used to
net the conference nearly $780,
900. In fact it carried the finan-
cial burden. When the Southern
Conference split, the schools
which remained decided to hold
the tournament at Morgantown,
w. Va, a hotbed of basketball.
But now, as a papered house
of 4,800 Uline Arena fans can
attest, West Virginia has come
up with its worst basketball team
in years. The Mountaineers were
no match for George Washing
ton last night, losing 106-75.
When it comes time for the

teams of the conference, West
Virginia probably will be an Oft

KENT, Ohio. Dec. "a 19-

Kent State University died today
of injuries doctors said he suf-

apparently suffered a hemor-
rhage at the base of his brain.

traction might be Frank Selvy,
the great scorer from Furman,
but Selvy has little support. This
could be the year that the bas-
ketball tournament doesn't make
expenses.
George Washington hit for an
amazing 62.5 per cent of it's
shots in the first half last night

peared the Colonials would top
their scoring record of 113 made

they were third and fourth in

Slowing negotiations is the
reluctance of the Yankees to part
with Skowron, their Kansas City
phenom, and Carey, a $65.000
bonus baby who has seen spo-

New York. If the Senators get
Carey, they'll convert the mus

Atlantic Conference
Believed Unlikely 10
Ban Bowl Repeaters
By MerreII WhittIesey

Maryland, unlike Oklahoma,
could succeed itself in the
Orange Bowl, it has been learned
from an official who attended the
recent meeting Of the Atlantic
Coast Conference at Greensboro,
N. C.
When the ACC and Big Seven
signed a two-year agreement for
the top football team in each
conference to meet in the
Orange Bowl in Miami, the Big
Seven stipulated that there can
be no repeaters.
The ACC was expected to fol-
low suit, but the problem was
tabled until the spring meeting
There is little likelihood of
Maryland not being permitted to
repeat in the Orange Bowl, how
ever, because of the ACC setup.
No Official Champion.
There will not be an official
ACC champion until 1855. And
there still is one ACC school op-
posed to bowls. Its president
has maintained the school will
not take part in a bowl game
even if eligible.
So it is apparent that the ACC
team in the Orange Bowl next
year will be the team with the
best record, which this year, of
course, was Maryland. If Okla
homa wins the Big Seven title
again next year, the No. 2 team
in the standings will represent
the conference in Miami.
Jim Tatum returned from
Miami with the bad news that
the Terps will get 1000 fewer
tickets to the Orange Bowl than
they had counted on. Maryland
still is entitled to one-sixth of
the seating capacity. but seats
for the bands and all entertain
ers are being taken off the top,
instead of being counted in the
total.
That means Maryland will re-
ceiye 10,634. And 1900 of those
will go to the other six schools
who were members of the orig
inal Atlantic Coast Conference
Tatum has allotted Is to Vir-
ginia, the new member.
The ticket situation has
thrown the entire Maryland ath-
letic department into a turmoil
The demand will be many times
more than the supply.

.would welcome him as the Sena.
tors first Negro player.
Renna, 6-foot-3 right-handed
hitter who is 27 years old and
weighs 2l8 pounds, blasted %
home runs with Kansas City
while hitting .295 in 1852. Last
season he saw some service in
leftf1eld with the Yankees but
was used principally as a pinch
hitter, batting .3l4.
Miller, 26, is a left-hander
who has shown considerable
promise as an occasional spot
pitcher for the Yankees.
Young Griffith has been con-
ferring with New York officials
almost constantly the past three
days and a deal may develop
within the next 48 hours. Calvin
will return to Washington this
afternoon and it's likely he'll
discuss the Yankees counter
proposals with Clark Griffith and
Harris before giving the Yankees
a final answer.
In their search for added
pitching strength the Yankees
are eager to pry McDermott from
Washington. The Senators new
left-hander, now singing in q
Boston cafe, ranked sixth in the
American League last season
with 3.01 earned run average.
He also batted .301 and if re-
tanned by Washington will be
employed extensively as a pinch
hitter.
Maury Provides Color.
McDermott will bring dash
of color to any club. A flashy
dresser, Maury was involved in
a brawl with a Boston writer
last season after McDermott's
vocalizing had been harpooned
by columnist. He attacked q
writer who hadn't written the
critical article, but no damage,
aside from ruff1ed feelings, was
done. They were separated
quickly after they wrestled each
other to the floor.
Birdie Tebbets, the Redlegs'
manager who caught McDermott
at Boston before shifting to
Cleveland, rates Maury as the
