the James Fielding Memorial
tWo-mile relay race of The Star
meet is named.
Bragg and Thresher are not
the only ones to be considered
in the sprint series Saturday
night, however. Others making
up the select field of six for the
three sprints are Art Pollard of
Penn State, Bob Keegan of
Seton Hall, Herman Decker of
Virginia Military and Buddy
Wright of North Carolina State.
The Penn State runner is one
of the country's rising young
trackmen. He was chosen for
the high school All-America
team because of his 9.8 clocking
| for the 100 while at CoateSville
(Pa0 High. He did the century
in 90 last year, and is going to
be a top competitor in all the
big indoor meets in the East
this winter.
Keegan, from Seton Hall, Is
another who figures to be among
the best this winter and sum-
mer in fast competition, and
showed himself ready for the
big time by taking the Metro
politan AAU 100 and 220 yard
dashes last summer in 9.9 and
21.4
The VMI runner, Decker, is
the Southern Conference out
door 100-yard champion, and
three times last year did the
distance in 81. But the other
Southern Conference man in the
sprint series, Wright of North
Carolina State, has a 9.6 clock

Gates not only a spirited duel
between these two Saturday
night, but in other meets in
which they both will compete
later this season.
There's a provisional starter
lined up for the sprint series

He's Ed Waters, the South At

George Washington University
hasn't come within 26 points of
defeat in it's last three basketball
games, but Coach Bill Reinhart
gets perturbed if it is suggested
his team should be anything but
an underdog when the Colonials
play at Georgetown tomorrow
night.
CIV disposed of Virginia Mill
tary Institute, 1864, before a
crowd of 600 at Uline Arena last
night. Although the Colonials
failed to score 100 points for
the first time in three games,
they proved a two-week Christ
mas vacation hadn't slowed
them.
Their SO points made the Co.
lonials the No. team in offense
among the Nations major COL
leges. According to unofficial
figures, CIV now has a 92.3 scor-
ing average. Navy, the previous
leader, defeated Johns Hopkins,
77-50, yesterday and slipped to
second with a 90.1 mark.
Reinhart Cites Losses.
You still have to make
Georgetown the favorite," Rein
hart says. They're undefeated
and we've lost two games. We're
playing on their court. They
have four seniors while our boys
are mostly underclassmen."
Some one commented that
Buddy Jeannette, Georgetown
coach, had been quoted as say
ing his team had at least an
even chance to win.
"At least an even chance!"
Reinhart snorted. Georgetown
won that Boston tournament
over some real good teams. while
we haven't beaten anybody
much. You have to make
Georgetown the favorite-Jean-
nette can't get away from it
and that's the way I like it,"
Millikan Rates CIV Best.
Reinhart received at least one
dissenting vote. Bud Millikan,
Maryland coach. was an inter-
ested spectator last night and
wasn't shy about complimenting
George Washington.
"GW is the best team in the
area" Millikan said. And it is
improving all the time. He has
those two Holup boys (Joe and
john who are great, but that's
not all he has by a long shot.
"You know what I'm going to
do against you?" Millikan kidded
Reinhart. I'm going to keep
you from scoring a hundred
points by laying the ball on the
floor and putting all five of my
players around it. Is there any
rule against that?"
Millikan and Reinhart were
joking about recent stories quot
ing them as disagreeing on the
advantages of a return to the
center jump.

Reinhart said. Were supposed
to be feuding."

Baltimore Franchise
In Football Awaits
Choice Of Owner

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. IA
man with the necessary cash and
character is all that's needed to-
day to bring Baltimore back into
the National Footabn League
family.
Pro football fans in Baltimore
have signed up for $4,000 season
tickets-the goal set by NFL
Commissioner Bert Bell before
he would grant Baltimore q
franchise.
Bell said last night he is ready
to live up to his part Of the
bargain.
The next step: To find some
body with about $200, 900 to buy
the franchise including the
players Of the defunct Dallas
Texans. Baltimore would re-
place the Texans in the loop.
Bell said all money realized
from ticket sales in Baltimore
an expected $250,000-must be
used for club operation.
Two Seek Ownership.
There are two leading candi-
dates for ownership:
Carroll Rosenhloom, 45-year-
old wealthy Baltimore clothing
manufacturer who played foot
ball at the University of Penn
sylvania while Bell was coaching
there;
Bruce Livie, Baltimore owner
of the Bobanet racing stable and
head of the NFL ticket sale drive
In Baltimore.
Bell says he favors Rosen-
bloom. He described the Balti-
morean as the sort of civic
minded person the club and
league could use.
Rosenbloom Is willing to pur-
chase the new club, Bell said.
except for one thing-he's not
happy about the personal pub
licity the job may entail. He
may withdraw for that reason.
Livie said group Of business
men have asked him to head a
syndicate Of wealthy purchasers.
"All of them are well to do
and are more interested in keep
ing a team in Baltimore. than
merely making money out of the
venture" Livie said.
Ticket Issue Settled.
At any rate, the whole issue Of
club ownership should be settled
within the next few days, Bell
declared.
Individual fans bought an esti-
mated IS per cent of the $4,000
season tickets already sold. Last
night the American Oil Co.
pledged to buy the final q
600. Bell had set January %
as a goal for the $4,000 tickets.
I'm hoping we can walk into
the NFL meeting January % and
tell them we sold 10000 tickets"
Livie said.
After the problem of owner
ship is solved, coach must be
found. For this job Bell has
been plugging Keith Molesworth,
backf1eld coach of the Pittsburgh
Steelers last season and former
coach at Navy.
