rlopolized college basketball last
season by capturing the Sugar
Bowl. National Invitation Tourn-
ament and NCAA championship,
figures to be tougher than ever
this year. The East has a half
dozen teams that may rate
among the top 20 in the Nation.
LaSalle, the NCAA champion,
should be even better. Holly
Cross, the defending NIT and
Sugar Bowl champion, is just as
strong despite the loss of Togo

strong enough to knock off both

Kuhoich Likely to Return
In SIS, Marshall Hints
By Lewis r. Atehison

Joe Kuharich probably win
return as head coach of the Red
skins next year.
On the fence most of the sea-
son about his 1885 plans. while
the team struggled through the
poorest year in its history,
George Marshall indicated re-
Gently that Kuharich's work had
been satisfactory since he re-
placed Curly Lambeau in a pre-
season upheaval, and that the
broad-chested coach would be
given q new contract.
II haven't seen anything that
has displeased me-yet," Mar
shall said, when asked for his
reaction to the teams work. He
made the statement during a
discussion following the Red
skins 41-33 defeat by the Phil
adelphia Eagles in a game in
which the Washington eleven
rolled up its highest score of the
season.
Kuharich has maintained that
his patched up, rookie-domi-
mated squad has the nucleus for
winner in IS. and Sundays
performance in Philadelphia
seemed to bear him out. But Joe
still hasn't been assured of q
new contract for next season,
and Marshall doesn't intend to
make any official announcement
until after the final game a week
from Sunday.
Kuharich, however, has an
idea that he might be back.
"He (MarshalD never led me
to believe otherwise" Joe said
today. II believe that il we can
strengthen certain positions we'll
have a winner. You don't win
consistently with some spots that
aren't solid, but a lot of our
players are coming around and
beginning to play more reck-
lessly-the way you win football
games"
