Catholic Elves 10 Film
For PIayoff Positions;
Two Ties Inevitable

Whatever the result of tomor-
row nights Catholic League
game between Gonzaga and st.
Anthony. there will be two-way
ties for first and third places in
the final standings, and pairings
for the first round playoffs FRI
day night will be decided by
tossing the coin.
In a holiday double-header
yesterday. st. Anthony moved
even with Gonzaga in the rank
ings by humping Carroll, 1854,
and Priory took over fifth place
with a surprisingly easy 55-44
victory over DeMatha.
st Anthony showed why many
observers are calling it the best
shooting team in the league. Bill
Cassidy hit for % points, high
for the game. and made nina
OF 13 shots from the floor, in
GLIDING five In a row in the Sec
ond quarter. Joe Sullivan was
almost as steady in collecting
IA points and Bob Bordeaux re-
turned to the lineup after i'm.
proving his schoolwork and
tossed in II.
Harvey Dant was held to g
points before fouling out in the
last quarter. but. as Coach Jack
Bohne said later, his job against
CAROLS zone defense was to set
up shots for the outside shooters.
Bill Hessler and Frank Wight
NAH provided CAROLS scoring
punch with 10 points each but
couldn't keep up with the pace
set by the TONES. The Lions
best quarter was the second
when Wightman made three In
a row from the corner to lead
a 15-point effort. but St. An
thony was getting 10 in the
meantime to go in to halftime
with a 1927 lead.
In the first game, DeMatha's
Bill Russell. leading scorer in the
league. had a frustrating after
noon against Priory's zone de-
Tense until the last quarter. when
he scored 8 points to lift his
total to l6. But it was too late
by then. Priory had pulled away
to a 26-l4 lead at halftime, 4l-28
at the three-quarter mark and
was coasting. Damian Crane and
Chris Walsh each got IL points
for the winners. Bob Clark got 9
and Tom Kennedy and Nick
Callahan followed with Z apiece.

A member of the Marine Re-

he hopes to get in one season of

Jim played on the same high

into a top-flight star until he got

NEW YORK. Feb. 23.-Feath-
erweight Gene Smith of Wash

comeback campaign, is in line
for the next shot at Percy Bas-
sets interim 126-pound title.
Pete Moran, matchmaker for
Herman Taylor Of Philadelphia,
was among those impressed with
Smiths knockout victory over
Dave Gallardo of Los Angeles last
night. He said he would start
negotiations for a Smith Bassett
bout in Philadelphia.
BaSsett holds the interim title
while Sandy Saddler Is in the
Army.
Smith was awarded a technical
knockout triumph over the IA
vored Gallardo in the third
round Of a scheduled 10 at East
ern Parkway Arena in Brooklyn
last night. 1t was Smiths Sec
ond straight knockout of 1854
after $3.50 campaign last year.
Smith. weighing l27 pounds to
Gallardo's 1854. smashed over
a right to the jaw to send CAL
lardo to the canvas early in the
third round OF their televised
bout. Gallardo bounced up and
took the mandatory eight-count,
but then began to weave around
helplessly as Smith battered him
with lefts and rights. At this
point Referee Barney Felix
moved IN to stop the contest.
Gallardo was in trouble from
the first round when he went
down from a stiff left to the
body and a right to the Jaw.
Smith continued to press his at
tack in the second and scored
with several solid right upper
cuts.
