III Teams Selected

Georgetown University and the
other II basketball teams in the
National Invitation tournament
were to learn their first-round
opponents today at q meeting of
the Metropolitan Basketball
Writer'S Association in New York.
The Hoyas were named as the
18th team in the tournament and
the 18th will be made known
today. Play starts Saturday in
Madison Square Garden.
Georgetown still has a game
remaining with George WASH
ington tomorrow night at Uline
Arena, but the Hoyas were in
vited before their final game be-
cause of an all-winning record
against teams in the rival NCAA
tournament. The Hoyas defeated
Seattle. Navy and Fordham.
IL Players from Area.
Although Georgetown's 1876
! record lis not as glamorous as
most Of the other teams, the
Hoyas are rated as an attrac-
ton because Of their record
against major opponents. and
because IL Of their squad mem
bers are from the New York area.
This will be Georgetown's
first appearance in the NIT. In
1928 In the Johnny Mahn-
ken-Buody Hassett era, when
Elmer Ripley was head coach.
the Hoyas lost to Wyoming in
the NCAA finals after winning
the Eastern title. The tournament
was played under a slightly diff
ferent setup at that time.
The Hoyas reached their peak
late this season, numbering
Temple and Maryland. for the
second time, among their vic
tins in addition to Fordham and
Navy. And the Hoyas lost to
LaSalle, the Nations fourth
ranked team by only five points
in the last two minutes Of play.
Western Team Likely.
The odds were that No. IL
team in the NIT would be either
Brigham Young or Wyoming,
depending on which finishes Sec
ond in the Skyline Conference.
The winner is committed to COM
pete in the NCAA.
The NCAA field was swelled by
four over the week end, the, As

DAYTON. Ohio, Mar. a.
John (Honey) Russell. Seton
Hall coach, had no alibis after
Dayton University knocked OF

Seton Hall came here with a
string Of u straight victories,
longest of any major college
team. The Pirates have been the
No. / team in the Associated
Press poll for the last six weeks.
I'VE met a good club, one that
played inspired ball, and we
lost" Russell added. I'VE don't
mind losing to a good team like
Dayton, and we have no COM
plants about the game. Nobody
ever wins 'em all. Last night
was our night to lose. Now wei

Dukes himself was glad to give
credit where he thought it was

HOUSTON. Mar. 1.-Two for.
mer national champions and
three young stars met here today
in a rare five-way playoh to
decide the winner of the largest
first prize on COLTS winter tour
A thrill-packed half-hour on
the 18th green yesterday left
five players tied at 283 for the
$4,000 top prize in the $4,000
Houston Open. This was five
under par for 70 holes on the
7.l50-yard Memorial Park course
Cary Middlecoff, 1949 Nation
al Open champion, added the
final touches when he missed a
3-foot putt that would have
given him the tournaments. The
other four already had shared
the thrills witnessed by q gal
lery estimated at from $4,000 to
$4,000.
Three Newcomers Involved.

Holup became the second fresh
man to make the All-Southern

in what was more Of q surprise,
Maryland's Gene Shue did not
make the first team announced
today by the Southern Confer

Shue, who scored 52.5 per cent

almost the whole show in lead

The biggest vote-getter was

conference games. Selvy was
named on every ballot. but
missed two f1rst-team votes.
Dickie Hemric Of Wake Forest,

This will be old Stoves first full season

no doubt that it was popular move as far
as the players were concerned.
The Phils were nine games short of a

CHARLES TOWN. w. Va.
Mar. 2.-Racing here was called
OF today for one Of the few
times in the Charles Town
tracks 20-year history because
OF a sudden snowstorm that
made conditions hazardous for
motorists.
General Manager Leeds RELY
announced that eight of the nine
races scheduled today would be
held over until tomorrow, when
the track expects to resume
operations. Nine races are per.
mitted only on Monday, Wednes-
day and Saturday by the State
Racing Commission.
Track in Good Shape.
RELY said the track was In
good condition. but that it re-
quired three or four hours to
drive the 20 miles from Lees
burg. Va, and Frederick, Md.
The trip Is an easy two-hour
drive from Washington under
normal conditions, and track Of
ficials decided it wouldn't be
worth the risk under present
conditions.
Weather usually is no handi-
cap to Charles Town. The final
meeting Of 1852 ended in q De-
cember snowstorm that blan-
keted the racing strip, and the
little Hilltop track has operated
when more faint-hearted rivals
would have closed.
One program was called OF
years ago when a summer cloud
burst washed away part of the
track. and on another occasion
an unexpected spring thaw left
the racing surface so gummy
that horses couldn't walk on 1t.
much less run. The card was
called off then, too.
Bowie Closed in April.
Veteran racegoers recalled to-
day that Bowie had to postpone
card on April /, 1924, because
of snow. The nearby Maryland
track also had almost a solid
weeks postponement last Deem
Der when bad weather hit the
new plant after the racing strip
had been completely rebuilt.
Rely said Charles Town had
no complaints about losing to-
days card. The place opened to
a record turnout of 11,217 Sat-
urday. 1t was so crowded that
many fans were unable to reach
the betting windows in time.
RELY said the lost day will not
be added to the end of the meet
ing. since Charles Town conflicts
with Bowie on its last two days,
and West Virginia officials dis
covered last autumn that 1t Is
bad business to compete with
a major track in this area.

you never know how good a
fellow is until you pitch on the
same club with him." Masterson
continued. II had always heard
how great Bobby Doerr was, but
I didn't realize how great until
I pitched for the Red Sox and
saw him come up with balls that
no other second baseman could
reach.
Make Pitcher Look Good.
II can appreciate this Washing
ton club. We have outfielders
who can choke off hits and they
have arms good enough to pre-
vent a runner from taking an
extra base. It's pleasure to work
in front Of players like that.
They make a pitcher look good"
MasterSon isn't fretting about
the Mats lack of punch. There's
a reason in every case for Mickey
Vernon, Yost, Gil Coan and Jim
BuSby not doing as well as they
might have last year." Masterson
said. "Busby hurt his foot, Ver-
non had a back condition and
was worrying about his wife be-
fore their baby was born. Coan
tried to be a slugger when he
should have been q slap hitter
and Yost simply was q tough
luck hitter.
II think they'll all improve
this year, particularly Coan. Gil
is tough to get out when he's
just meeting the ball, but he
turned swinger last year and
went for too many bad pitches.
I've pitched against him and
know he's rough to get out when
he's crouching. He's back in
that crouch now and I'll bet he
hits 300.

Lundeberg Says
 Shippers Playing FOOtsie' With Reds

SAN FRANCISCO, R- Harry Lundeberg, sharp-tongued boss of the AFL Sailors Union of the Pac- fife, told a US. Senate subcommit- tee Friday that West Coast ship owners are playing footsie" with Communist elements.
 Lundeberg's Commute speech to the three-member Senate sub committee on Maritime subsidies was an implied attack on his arch waterfront rival, leftwing Long shore Boss Harry Bridges.
 ''The record of the Pacific Coast as far as unloading and discharg- ing cargo is concerned-particu- larly in the harbor of Los Angeles -stinks," Ludeberg roared.
 He charged "a deliberate at tempt to drive American ships off the seas .. can't see where they (shipowners) have the nerve to come before this committee and ask for subsidies.
 First of all, they are beating American shipyard workers out of their jobs. Second, they are beat ing American seamen out of earn ing a living. Third, they do not pay the U. s. government any taxes from the profits derived from operating foreign flag ships .. they are only out for the fast buck themselves and they do not care about building up the Amer ican merchant marine"
 This criticism was directed at shippers who build vessels abroad or operate American-built ships with foreign crews under foreign flags.
