The immovable object would
be st. Johns, which began
showing its superiority in bas-
ketball over its Catholic rivals
even before there was a league.
The Johnnies have been
Catholic League basketball
champions four straight years,
or ever since the league was
organized. They were unofficial
champions in Catholic athletic
circles for the four years previ-
Gus. That's an eight-year reign.
And the Johnnies have it in
basketball again this year. Like
"Old Man River" they just keep
rolling along.
Under Joe Gallagher, who
teaches history and tipping at St.
Johns and has been coaching
the last five years. the Johnnies
have won 129 games and lost 26.
That's counting an 11-3 record
this year. st. Johns has lost to
Roosevelt and Coolidge High
Schools and to the Georgetown
University freshmen.
The TONES have a 6-foot-3k
scoring star in Jack Sullivan, but
the Johnnies feel they have the
answer to Sullivan in 1.-The
Horse" ''The Horse" is a 6-foot-
AZ 205-pound football tackle
named Frank Harding who loves
fire engines so much he became
a volunteer member of the Silver
Spring Fire Department.
Horse is, the man that has
made our team" Gallagher says.
He was ineligible last year and
the year before because of aca-
demic difficulties. But he's do
ing very well in his studies now.
In fact, his whole attitude has
changed. I think that work
with the fire department has
helped settle him down."
Harding uses q hook shot to
advantage. but perhaps even
more advantageous to the john
nies is his defensive work. with
that football ability and his size, /"
Gallagher points out. "he isn't
afraid to fight for position"
Many observers feel that
Harding will be too much for
Sullivan. though the TONES ace
hasn't been stopped yet. It will
be interesting to watch when
the two teams meet February 20
at Carroll. That is the only reg
ular-season meeting between the
two clubs, but both are expected
to meet in the post-season, four
team playoffS.

result of his disregard of regu-

half his matches, but they can't
make him change his system.

ton of two matches, the Zebra

Virginia Alumni Back
Mcdonald for Coach
BY the Associoted Press

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. Feb.
10.-The Charlottesville Chapter
of the University of Virginia
Alumni Society has indorsed Ned
Mcdonald, former line coach at
the school, for the position of
head football coach.
Mcdonald, former University
of Texas football star who came
to Virginia in 1916 and served
through the 1852 season, resigned
as line coach last week.
Since then, Art Guepe, the
Cavaliers head coach, also has
stepped out to accept a better
paying job as head coach at
Vanderbilt.
The meeting OF the Charlottes-
vile Alumni Chapter last night
attended by 95 Virginia gradu-
ates, approved a resolution rec
ommending the hiring of Nc
Donald.
The resolution will be sub
mitted to a special athletic
council committee which is
screening applicants for the head
coaching vacancy.
Mcdonald has been reported
on the verge of signing as line
coach at the University of
Richmond.
Since Guepe's resignation.
though, his name has been
mentioned frequently in specu-
lation over his successor. Another
prominently mentioned possi-
bllity has been Bill Dudley, the

Top scorer for the Johnnies is
Ralph Hawkins, 5-foot-11 son of
a Washington bandleader.
Ralph reminds me of a fell
low that played with me at
George Washington University"
Gallagher says. Jimmy Rausch
was his name. Rausch was an
all-around, ball-handling guard
with a good outside shot and a
good drive. Ralph has all of
those qualities. He makes about
half his shots on drive-inS and
the other half on SETS"
The Johnnies lost Bernie Nc
Carthy when he sprained his
ankle against Roosevelt. But they

Frazier. a 6-foot-3-inch fresh

Pro Grid Counsel Due
To Ask for Dismissal
0fN Suit Today
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 10. -
Counsel for the National Foot
ball League prepared today to
ask Federal Judge Allan K. Grim
to dismiss the Governments
antitrust suit against the pro
grid loop.
Bernard I. Nordlinger. chief
defense attorney, said the re-
quest will be made as soon as the
prosecution rests its case in the
involved trial Government law
yers have indicated they are
about to wind up their side Of
the case. ....
The suit charges the NFL with
restricting the broadcast and
telecast Of professional football
games. sNordlinger said he'll ask
that the case be thrown out on
grounds the NFL was not en-
gagged in interstate commerce
and that the alleged restraints
were reasonable ones" ...
Interstate Status Puzzles.
Yesterday Judge Grim. who is
hearing the case without a jury.
repeatedly asked for clarification
of the interstate relationship to
the sale of television by profess
sional football.
He asked the government if it
had included in the evidence
material to help him decide on
this most important point"
The Government averred that
it had shown that contracts had
been made by letters and tele-
phone across State lines.
But the judge said he won-
dered if that's enough to con-
Stitute interstate commerce.
If I call Macy's Department
Store in New York and discuss
purchase. but don't complete
it until two weeks later by going
from Philadelphia to New York
to pick up the item, is that In
terstate commerce." Judge Grim
asked.
M. Perry Epes, Government
counsel. said he thought it was.
McLendon Upholds Radio.
One of the final Government
witnesses was Gordon McLendon,
Texas radio station executive,
who told the court that radio
has helped. not hindered. the
economy of professional sports.

dent of the defunct Liberty
Broadcasting System, who was
on the stand for the third day.
said in regard to a direct ques-
ton by Judge Grim on RADIO
T'V and its effect on sports:
Il am not familiar with tele-
vision your honor. but speaking
for radio I can say that abso-
lutely it has not hurt the at
tendance at professional football
games. Radio created more in

its home games, which shows
what a couple of basketball

Southern Conference coaches
who used to look forward to

their enthusiasm. Richmond,
which qualified for the, confer
ence tournament only twice
since 1941, has come up with a
nine-game winning streak, q
ga conference record and a
14-4 mark for the season. The
ninth straight victory was the
1916 decision over the TerpS,
who now have an 8-3 conference
record and a 1915 overall mark.
The Spiders play their home
games in a high school gym that
seats about 1000. That used
to be more than ample seating
capacity for the few folks they
would draw.
Sell0uts Become Routine.
But the young team that has
pulled the Spiders out of the sec
ond division has played to Sell
out crowds in its last seven home
games. with all seats having been
sold by $50 each night. Rich

BOSTON, Feb. 10.-The era
of the Red Sox'S famous friendly
leftf1eld fence" faded into base
ball history today with the
departure Of slugger Vern
Stephens.
The chunky inflelder was
traded to the White Sox yester-
day in exchange for Pitchers
Marv Grissom, Hector Skinny
Brown and Bill Kennedy. No
cash was involved.
Only Dom DiMaggio remains
Of the long-ball-hitting Red Sox
lineup that earned the name of
THE Seekers" He alone is left
from the 1946 pennant winners.
Boston fans who love to watch
their heroes bang the ball off
the 315-foot leftf1eld wall have
seen the sluggers disappear in
the last 18 months.
Bobby Doerr, heavy hitting
team captain, retired after the
1851 season. Ted Williams was
recalled last May as a Marine
Corps pilot and now is in Ko-
rea. He'll be IS in October, and
whether he'll play again is any,
hody's guess. Last season Johnny
Pesky, a consistent if not lengthy
hitter, was traded to Detroit
along with Walt Dropo-a slug
ging first haseman.
Shooting for Pennant.
Boston General Manager Joe
Cronin said of yesterdays deal:
THE White Sox are shooting
for the pennant. Having traded
Ed Robinson to the Athletics for
Ferris Fain, they needed a long
ball hitter in their lineup.
They've been angling for
Stephens for some time, but only
yesterday did they offer what we
considered sufficient talent for
him in the. way of pitching"
Cronin said the Red Sox need
ed hurlerS with major league
experience"
Having lost Leo Kiely and
Dick BrodowSki to the armed
services and Dizzy Trout to the
radio broadcasting booth lin De-
troit) We had to get some pitch
erS for Lou Boudreau."
The deal, Cronin concluded,
should help both clubs"
Manager Boudreau said he ap-
proved the deal because it will
provide us with much-needed
pitching strength and give us the
green light in our effort to re-
build our team with youngsters. :"
Stephens leave-taking was in
marked contrast to the big deal
that brought him to Boston with
Pitcher Jack Kramer. since de-
parted, after the 1947 season.

job when Mac Pitt stepped down
after "a years. Mac still is the
athletic director and baseball
coach. but he wanted to give
basketball to a younger man.
Hooker took the job in mid
summer but nine freshmen. four
of whom played basketball in the
service, were on hand for fall
practice. Three of them are
regulars now and the rest are
being counted on for the future.
Uses Only Seven Men.
Hooker is getting maximum
mileage out of the best available
men. He used only five men to
beat West Virginia, six to beat
North Carolina in double over
time. and seven to beat the
Terps.
Richmond has only one regu-
lar player over 6-feet-2. That's
Walt Lysaght, a regular with the
Quantico Marines two years ago
but a reserve last year because
OF an injury. He's 6-feet-5 and
was the top scorer last night
with IA points, most of them
from running jump shot.
The only senior is Jim Gaha-
gan OF Alexandria. Besides Ga
hagan, the only holdover is War;
rem Mills, a 5-foot-8 playmaker,
who played with a mask pro-
tectlng a broken nose. His nose
was broken with two seconds to
go in the second overtime
against North Carolina.
Besides Lysaght the freshman
regulars are Edmund Harrison,
who, with Mills, gives the Spi-
derS a smart back-court team,
and Bob Witt. Hugh O'Connell,
6-feet-8. is being worked in grad
ually. It was O'Connell and Ken
Daniels. the only other sub used.
who scored the winning baskets
for the Spiders before they went
into successful freeze.
Success Gains Coach.
Richmond figures to get into
the tournament with a 9-4 rec
ord and five games to go. The
Spiders successes have calmed
down Hooker, who, in his high
school coaching days at Hope
well, Va, used to have terrible
temper. Even at William and
Mary last year he was noted for
his bench antics.
Hooker'S only display last
night came when Maryland's
Gene Shue drew his fifth per-
sonal foul. Hooker was so glad
to get rid of the Terps' ace that
he leaped from the bench, spun
completely around, pointing
wildly at Shue, and then
whirled around again, the mo-
mentum carrying him almost to
mid-court.
The Terps' Bud Milliken, in
cidentally, is getting to be some
what of exhibitionist on the
bench. He leaps from the bench
every time he doesn't like an
othclals call (Which is often) =.
or every time Maryland player
makes a mistake. With Maryland
making 20 of what Millikan re-
fers to as "minuses" chad passes,
steps. etc., he was up and down
like a jumping jack last night.
