grateful to Howard University for
granting him leave of absence to

"Strong cultural ties between
the American people and those
overseas are indispensable in pro-
noting international understand

this most important endeavor, we
are augmenting our staffs abroad

prominent in education, the arts,
ana Lne sciences.
DR.. Snowden, who is a native
of York County, Va, has been
member of the faculty at Howard
since 1910. A graduate of the
public schools in Boston, Mass, he
holds the Bachelor of Arts, Master
of Arts, and Doctor of Philosophy

While attending Harvard, DR..
Snowden was awarded the follow
ing scholarships ard prizes: the
Price Grecnleaf Scholarship, for
two successive years; the Henry
D. and Jonathan M. Parmenter
Scholarship; the Bowditch Schol-
arship; and the Bowdoin Prize in

Prior to coming to Howard, DR..

Drill al Georgetown

Georgetown University started
basketball rolling yesterday as
90 candidates, including o pair Of
sparkling performers from last
years freshman team, reported
to Coach Buddy Jeanette.
Jeannette. starting his third
season as the Hoya coach, was
particularly pleased to greet Joe
MisSett, 6-foot-6 center with the
froSh last season. and Matte
White, to top frosh scorer with
307 points.
Lack Of suitable height crippled
Georgetown's chances last sea-
son when the Hoyas posted an
.li-18 record. Missett, who
scored more than 200 points and
distinguished himself under the
boards. joined two other 6-foot-6
hopefuls, Don Morchower and
Bucky Seymour. Morchower
saw action with the varsity last
year, while Bucky Seymour of
Gonzaga High played the latter
part of the season with the
freshmen. Seymour did not play
high school basketball.
Key man for the Hoyas is
Warren Bushler, the 6-foot-4
star who broke Georgetown's all
time scoring record with 511
points last season as a sopho-
more. Joe Bolger, back from last
seasons varsity team, will battle
Sophomores Dale Smith and
Kenny Rode for a starting for

BALTIMORE, Nov. with
q few minutes to spare before q
mid-morning meeting, q half
dozen Of the Baltimore Bullets
dropped in q corner store for a
cup Of coffee.
The proprietor served up the

counter:

"Give 1t to Selvy now and save
time" said AL Mcclure.
"Hey. Frank" yelled Connie
Simmons down the line. Don't

about their new National Basket

ton, Frank Selvy, the flash from

at Furman University.

A few hours later Selvy earned

major college scoring records has

tends to do the same in the
NBA.
In his first three games, Selvy
has tailed 81 points, 35 Of which
he got against Philadelphia last
Sunday. &
His shooting average from the
floor is about 81 per cent. He is
also a top rebounder and a good
defensive man.
But more important. his Bull
let teammates will tell you. is
his attitude. After seeing him
roughed up by some Of the
leagues better guards, the other
Bullets have seen Selvy come
back even stronger and get his
points. u
HE doesn't cry" is the way
MCGUIRE puts it.

MCGUIRE, a former New York
Knickerbocker obtained in q
trade this year, said he guarded
Selvy in practice the other day
and couldn't believe" what he
saw.

the Yale head coach said during

where the subject turned to how

said. yale slipped by Columbia

scores. while Army beat Colum-
bia. 67-12, and Dartmouth. 60-6,
but I'm not losing any sleep over
it at all, and I'll tell you why.
First of all, we have q Yale
team that has been playing to-
gether all season. a team that
has been told it has nothing to
lose and everything to gain
against Army, a fired-up team
that is determined to spring a.
surprise.
Looks Back 10 Years.
But. let's go back 10 years
ago. Maybe you1l understand
me better"
The tall, balding Olivar smiled,
slipped some orange juice and
continued:
MY Villanova team had won
four of our first five games, but,
under the war-accelerated pro-
gram, we had a vacation break
late in October. When classes
resumed November / we called
out the squad, and couldn't be-
lieve our eyes when only one
veteran showed up, Bucky Will
liams.
HE explained that everybody
else had been transferred to
various naval and Marine sta
tionS.
Appealed for Volunteers.
'This was a Tuesday, and we>
had a game to play Saturday.
In desperation we addressed the
student body, and 80 prospects
reported Wednesday. We spent
the t55 minutes allotted to us for
practice that day finding out the
positions to place the players
and it wasn't until Thursday
that we got down to business.
II didn't have the heart to
tell the team who we were play
ing, but Friday, as we sat in
the bus, I explained that we
were going to a little town in
New York, West Point, to play
Army. We quickly shut the
doors and headed north"
Olivar paused. That was the
Army team, he said, that had
some fellows named Glenn Da-
Wis, Doc Blanchard and Barney
Poole, among others.

half. the score was 62-0 In favor
Of Army.
I'm the dressing room, ! had
to say something, SO I explained
to our quarterback that
thought he had made a mistake;
that with third down and 10 to
go. just before the half ended,
he shouldshave relied on a trick
play, instead of q quarterback
sneak. on which he had made I
yards.
t'You know what he did. He
asked me, What other play to-
day has gained that much?'
Shortened Periods.
Anyway, as we came out for
the second half, Andy Gustaf-
son, now coaching Miami, but
then an assistant Army coach
and in charge of the Cadets that
day, was very kind. He sug-
gested we shorten the periods.
We did and held Army to 81
points in that half. The final
score was Army, 1910.
"After the game, one of our
boys, a 135-pound veteran who
had seen combat action and had
been cited for heroism, told me,
TT sure was a lot safer in one
of those foxholes than it was
out there this afternoon.
But, any way / look at it now,
I'll always regard it as a moral
victory. We went to West Point
