Until last weeks doings in
Boston, Georgetown University
was ranked behind Maryland
and George Washington in the
battle for the areas basketball
title. Now the Hoyas are one
of the Nations few undefeated
teams and their coach, Buddy
Jeannette. gives them an even
chance of beating both CIV and
Maryland this week.
Georgetown faces CIV Thurs
day at the Hoyas' McDonough
gym and plays Maryland Satur-
day night at Ritchie Coliseum
in College Park. The three
teams play each other twice in
the battle for the area cham
pionShip.
Why the sudden prominence
of Georgetown? While CIV was
running up three-f1gure scores
and Maryland was leading the
Southern Conference with an
undefeated record earlier in the
season. Georgetown was having
trouble with Mason-Dixon Con-
ference opposition. The Hoyas
nosed out Loyola of Baltimore
by only two points and were un-
impressive against Hampden-
Sydney.
However, last week George
town started getting serious
consideration as a threat to CIV
and Maryland. The Hoyas sur
priSed by beating Seattle and
Rhode Island State to win the
Boston Arena tournament. and
among those surprised was
Jeannette.
II sure was surprised" says
Buddy. the ex-pro who now is a
route supervisor for a laundry
In Baltimore by day and the
Hoyas' coach at night. ''We
didn't play anybody real tough
before then and the boys came
up with a couple of good games
If they play as well against CIV
and Maryland. we're going to
be tough"
Not that Jeannette is salts
fed with his team. Never be
satisfied" he says. Actually
these guys can play better than
they have. We can get more
mileage out Of some of these
boys.

To Beat Both CIV and Terps

Hugh Beins, 6-feet-7; Bill Boil
ger, 6-feet-5; Lou Gigantic, s.
feet-10; Jack Hekker, 6-feet-5;
Bob Makatura, 5-feet-10, and
Denny Murphy, 6-feet-7, were
particularly satisfying to jean
nette in the Boston victories.
Particularly Murphy, who had
sat out the first three games
with pulled muscles in his shoul-
der.
I'm the second game against
Rhode Island State, Bolger
came out on fouls and we were
leading by only three points" !"
Jeanette says. Murphy went
in. put in two quick baskets and
we were home. He helped us
tremendously off the boards,
too"
Jeannette plans to start Beins,
Bolger and Gigantic, all hold
overs from last year, and Tom

CIV, which plays vMI at $50

Jeanette, himself, is one of the
Colonials' admirers.

Mangrum, Assisted
By Radio, Gets Third
Los Angeles Title
BY the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6.-Lloyd
Mangrum. who plays golf by ear.
banked the profits today from his
third Los Angeles Open golf
championship.
The dapper Mangrum carries
a full complement Of clubs in
his bag and he knows what to do
with them. But he also carries
a radio. and he knows how to
use that, too. .e
AS he played his final round
yesterday. he kept tuned to the
progress of his chief competitor,
young Jack Burke. It's a sys-
tenn Mangrum, devised several
years ago. He started out the
day five strokes ahead. He nm
ished five strokes ahead.
At one stage, Burke was with
in three strokes, and Mangrum
stepped away from his portable
long enough to card two brides.
It was the turning point. He
never again was in danger.
He had f280, four under par.
for the four rounds over Riviera
Country Clubs par II, 7,020-yard
course. His rounds were 69-72-
69-70. Burke matched him on
the final round, but couldn't cut
those five strokes. Burke's totals
were 70-75-70-70.
Art Wall, jr., of Pocono Manor,
Pa, was tied with Burke-215
against Mangrum's 210-to start
the day. But Wall fell away to
IS and sixth place behind three
veterans, Johnny Bulla of We
roma, Pa, who won here in 1941,
Harry Bassler Of Culver City and
Zell Eaton of Montebello, q pair
of Southern California club pro-
feSsionals.
Mangrum won here in 1949
with 284. and in 1851 with $50.
Burke's total was four strokes
better than a year ago, when he
tied for first at 289. with Tommy
Bolt and Dutch Harrison, then
lost a playoff to Bolt.
Low amateur at 294 was Bud
Holscher, q local boy on Navy
leave.

gained another top-flight per-
former today with the entry Of
Milton Campbell. 19-year-old
Plainfield IN. j. schoolboy star
and runnerup to Bon Matthias for
the Olympic decathlon title. He
will compete in the already
crowded 70-yard high hurdles.

Campbell's addition helps on
set the loss of Ingvar Ericsson.
Swedish middle distance star.
who scratched from the Junior
Board of Commerce Mile because
he didn't feel he would be at his
hest for his American, debut.
Ericsson arrived In New York
only Sunday and. after q trial
run. decided he needed more
work to reach his peak.
Swede's Uncle Disappointed.
The Swedish stars decision
not to come here was particularly
disappointing to Carl j. Nyman,
his grand uncle who lives at 1901
Mintwood street, Silver Spring.
Mr.. Nyman, who is Sc, hasn't
seen Ingvar since the latter was
a 10-year-old boy and was
anxious to see him run.
Nyman was born in Sweden,
came to this country as young
man and has lived in the Wash
ington area for many years. He
owned a bakery-ice cream busi-
ness here until illness forced
him to retire.
Campbell, a 6-foot-2. 208-
FOUNDER, is one of the most
promising youngsters on the
American sports scene. An all
around athlete. the husky Negro
starred at fullback on Plain
fields unbeaten, united high
school eleven. He was named on
every All-State team last season
after previously winning places
on the All-American scholastic
track and swimming teams.
Campbell served notice that
he will be at his best for The
Star Games by whipping Harri-
son Dillard last week and hang
ing up a Jamaican record Of
IA seconds for the 110-meter
high hurdles. New Jersey AAU
and scholastic champion in the
high hurdles and high jump,
the boy also is fast enough to
compete in the best sprint COM
pany.
Campbell came through with
one of his most spectacular in
door performances last winter
when he won the National in
door scholastic high hurdles and
high jump and returned to ac-
ton the same day to place third
behind Dillard and Peter Nc
Creary in the senior high hurdles.

doubles battle.
Unfamiliar With Courts.
Two things favor the Amer.
leans, but neither Is proved SUI
periority in tennis.
On the side of Kramer and
Segura is experience and the fact
the Australians are unfamiliar
with canvas courts. On the side
of the newcomers Is youth, and
1t could be a big factor. -
Kramer and Segura are 81.
Sedgman is Is. McGregor %.
Both Australians are sharp on
their games. as they proved by
whipping Americas Vic Seixas
and Tony Trabert for the Davis
Cup last week. Kramer. par
ticularly. is showing signs Of age
an unmistakable bulge about
the middle.
Sedgman comedies that the
canvas courts may give some
trouble.
"But I think only for one set
or So" he said. in his precise
English.
Faster Than Grass.
Canvas is good deal faster
than grass. about on par with
slick cement. on which Sedgman
has played. but slower than
wood.
Canvas is kind to a hard ball,
and that's what Sedgman hits.
On the other hand, Kramer's
thunderbolt service is world
famed and Sedgman's defense
may not be able to contain it. 3
Sedgman gets $4,000 and Me-
Gregor $25. 1000, plus a piece of
the gate on q tour set for 80
matches in this country and
abroad. Kramer, who also is the
promoter. says he has to gross
! $3.50 900 to get in the black. but
thinks he'll take in 100000.
After playing here tonight and
tomorrow, the touring pros head
for Madison Square Garden in
New York where they play Sat-
urday and Sunday before going

CIV Hopes 10 Hold
Point Pace Against
Vkl Here Tonight

George Washington University

night after a layoff of more than
two weeks. going against Vir-
ginia Military Institute at Uline
Arena at $3.50 pm. The Colonials
will be out to maintain their Ola

VMI has a 2-3 seasons record

State and West Virginia in seven
games this season, scored over
100 points in their last two out
ingS before the holidays. They
routed South Carolina with 1O7
points and Duke with 113 at
Uline.
Probably the only question to-
night will be whether the layof
will keep CIV from going over
100. The Colonials will be out
to maintain its high scoring and
perhaps overtake Navy as the
leading point maker in the area.
The Middies, boasting a 92.4
average, entertain Johns Hopkins
today.
Holups to Lead Attack.
The Holup brothers, Joe and
John, are expected to lead the
CIV attack. Joe, 6-foot-6 fresh
man sensation from Swoyers-
vile, Pa. and "big" brother John,
who. stands 6-feet-5, have been
putting on quite a scoring act
this season. Joe has averaged
