22.-George Washington's bas-

hopes is another winning string.

last night, and there's danger
they'll be unable to carry it
further.
CIV meets Duke next at Dur

Devils are rated the strongest

A pair of free throws by sub
stitute Jack Vale with only IS

point edge over a team they beat
handily by 97-81 earlier in the
season.
Holup Scoring Heartens Team.
Heartening to the Colonials,
however. was the 10 points
scored by John Holup. the other
half of the Holup scoring combi-

year. Until last night he had
been nowhere near the form
that helped so much last season

into the game, Joe Holup scored
Is points last night. making a
total of 44-more than half the
teams total-between them.
Handicapping CIV last night
was the absence of big Elliot
Karver, always a potent scorer
for the ColonialS and a fine de-
fenSive player.
Karver had to miss the game
because of the recent death of
his father.

Brings Pro War
Giants ToIk Of Suit,
NIL Head Threatens
To Ruid Canadians

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. o.
United States and Canadian
professional football executives
primed their check books and
mustered their legal forces to-
day in an about war over foot
ball talent.
The feud over Canadian forays
into American football player
pools has blown hot and cold
for several years. It warmed up
considerably a few weeks ago
when Canadian officials accused
the National Football League of
hiring a propaganda to belittle
the Canadian game.
Yesterday it was announced
that Arnie Weinmeister of the
New York Giants, one OF the
NILS all-time top tackles. had
signed a two-year contract with
the new British Columbia Lions.
The 6-foot-4, 235-pound line
man no longer has a contract
with the Giants. but the club
still holds an option on his serv-
ices for 1854.
Bell Declares War.
Commissioner Bert Bell of the
NIL promptly declared the war
is on" with the Canadian pro
leagues. He indicated the NIL
might reverse the normal pro-
cedure and raid Canadian player
resources.
"They had better start count
ing their players" Bell declared.

players, some of whom could
make some of our teams. Well
go after them if they go after

George Marshall, president
of the Redskins, took a diff

very few players who would be
