Terps Already Equal
Last Season S Wins
With Miami Victory

Maryland's basketball team
equaled its victory output for
the regular and, tournament sea-
son Of last year with its 1857
victory over the University of
Miami at the Miami Beach au-
ditorium last night.
The Terps won for the 18th
time and have lost four, while
last year Coach Bud Millikan' S
club had a 1873 record. Mary
land still has nine games to play,
plus the Atlantic Coast Confer
ence tourney.
The Terps were due to arrive
here this afternoon from Miami,
but they'll be off again tomorrow
morning for a two-game series
in Virginia. They meet Wash
ington and Lee Thursday night
in Lexington and VPI Friday
night in Blacksburg.
Maryland's two-game series in
Florida was a success from a
won-and-lost standpoint, but the
Terps did not add any prestige
by having to come from behind
to beat two teams with losing
seasons.
After Saturday nights scare
against Tampa, Maryland trailed
by five points going into the
fourth quarter against the Hurri-
canes, but outscored Miami, 81
10, in the fourth quarter.
Gene Shue was tied for Mary
land scoring honors by Tom
Young each with II points. but
game honors went to Willie
Schayowitz Of the Hurricanes
with 18 points.
Only 804 fans watched the
game in Miami Beach auditor

~ More Games Enable SeIyy
To Improve Amazing Record
BY the Assoeio,sd Press

GREENVILLE, 8. c.. Feb. a.
They call Furman's Frank Selvy
fabulous" and, with a new
major college three-year basket
ball scoring record under his
belt and IL games left to play.
Selvy may keep the tag for a
long time.
Selvy scored Is points last
night as Furman defeated Glenn
son, 70-55. and now has three
year total of 1905 points. The
old record was 1888 by Clyde
Lovellette of Kansas in 1852.
Selvy, a 6-foot-3 senior from
Corbin. KY, set national rec
ord for major colleges last year.
bagging 1873 points in IS games
for a 29.5 average. In his soph-
omore year he finished sixth in
the Nation with a 24.6 average
for SOL points scored in "a
games.
Selvy'S performance this sea-
son is nothing short Of amazing.
Last week The Citadel put three
men on Selvy. Before the game
was over, all had fouled out.
Selvy scored SO points, Is of
them on free throws.
Selvy's points have not come
against setups. He scored 81
against North Carolina State. 40
against Duke and in the Okla
homa City All-College tourna-
ment. As against Mississippi and
so against Cincinnati.
Coach Harold Bradley of Duke
admitted, I'VE used every type
of defense on Selvy. He earned
every point he made"
Coach Lyles Alley of Furman
ranks his ace with the best in
the game. He points out that
because of circumstances he has
had to use Selvy as a center,
forward and guard. And Selvy
was forced to play awhile this
season with his thumb in a

lost to any other team in any
year
Yet for all this obvious SUI
premacy, only in 1853 did the
champions win their pennant
with ease. the clinching date
being September IA. In 1949 they
didn't win until October 3. In
1850 and 1851 the date was Sep
TENDER 90. and in 1852 it was
September 26.
Loud Talk Prompted.
Of those figures it would ap-
pear that the titleholders have
been gaining momentum instead
of slipping, a circumstance which
may be prompting Stengel to do
a little more loud talking than
Yankee managers usually in
dulge in.
Naturally. it's good for the
gate. Take last July 10 at Comis-
key Park. The White Sox were
four games out of first place and
battling the Yanks in a twin
bill. The. largest crowd ever to
see a baseball game in Chicago
(54.215 fans) turned out. The
Sox had won eight in a row.
Stengel had rested 35-year-old
Eddie Lopat nine days for that
series. He had put 34-year-old
Vic Raschi on the shelf for Is
days. The Sox lost, 60 and 80,
and were never as close there
after.
Casey would be less than
human if he didn't utilize these
glory years to do a little rib
sticking. And he's got a live OPP
ponent in Lane.
The White Sox and Yanks
have built up a nice. comfortable
feud and they're going to be
neighbors in Florida this spring,
only 81 miles apart at ST. Peters,
burg and Tampa.
The Yanks helped themselves
by getting Harry Byrd and Eddie
Robinson from the AS far more
than the Sox have done so far.
Robinson should fit the Johnny
Mize occasional-duty role like a
glove. No wonder Casey sees No.
6 in the offing And how
Lane and Paul Richards would
like to be the ones to send him
into retirement next October.

las Deal Is
|UpIn Air;
Meeting Set
BY TOM BRADSHAW

PHILADELPHIA R-The long.
drawn-out drama of the Philadel.
phia Athletics and their future to.
day was In rehearsal for the latest
act to come-a meeting of Ameri-
can League owners at Chicago
Thursday.
At that meeting, called by
League President Will Harridee
the club owners will be asked 10
approve or reject the sale of the
Philadelphia franchise to an eight
man syndicate. But that won't ring
down the curtain.
The following day the syndicate
members are scheduled to meet
with Roy Mack, his brother Earle
and their father Connie to ex-
change nearly four million dollars
fol, all but a one-ninth share of
the AS stock.
There is every reason to believe
the stock-cash transfer will all but
end the play.
However, the AS tragi-comedv
has been extended so many times
beyond the expected final curtain
that it's anybody's guess whether
there will be further POSTPONE
mentS, delays or what have YOU
Here's how matters now stand.
Yesterday, the eight members of
the syndicate put in hectic after
noon in a meeting which was SUD-
posed to complete the deal as per
clause in the preliminary purchase
agreement. That stipulated that the
sale was to be consummated by
z pm. yesterday.
The syndicate members said thew
didn't want to hand over their
money to the Macks until the
league had put the stamp of an
proval on them and their offer
for the franchise.
When the delay in league ap-
proval became known, the syndi-
cate began efforts to have Row
agree to an extension. Earle and
Connie Sr. had agreed to the ex-
tension previously. But Roy
heged.
After the late afternoon portion
OF the meeting, Roy took a one
hour recess to confer with his at
torney. Then he came back and
announced he was willing to give
the eight syndicate members until
3 pm. Friday to turn over the
cash and accept receipt of the
stock.
