Rivals New Strategy
Could Push BartheI 10
Indoor Mark Tonight
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-Fred
Wilt, Len Truck and Co. are
plotting a new strategy against
Josy Barthel in the New York
Athletic Club games at Madison
Square Garden tonight.
Three times they've tried to
beat Josy in the big indoor meets
and three times the little
Olympic l.500-meter champion
from Luxembourg. has trotted
home ahead of them.
Now they figure that if they
make him run in the early stages
in the race, maybe they'll wear
him out at the end. Heretofore
they've jockeyed with him while
a mechanical rabbit" has set
a blistering early pace.
JOsy Ignores EN- All.
All the while, though, Josy
calmly has ignored every one
and won as he pleased. About the
best Wilt, Truck. Gordon Nc
Kenzie of the New York Pioneer
Club and Bill Ashenfelter of the
New York A. C. can hope for is
to push Barthel to a new world
indoor record. Gil Dodds holds
the present standard-4:05.3.
Josy, however, says he just
runs to win and doesn't try for
records although one and all
know that any time he decides
to cut loose. Dodd will be an ex-
record holder.
Horace Ashenfelter of the host
club will try to lower Wits in
door two-mile mark of 8:50.7 and
seems ripe for it. Coach Tommy
Quinn hopes for the FBI agent
to do eight 66-second quarters
for 8:48.
Wilt Will Help Out.
Wilt, the man whose record
he is trying to shatter, will be
at the trackside signaling to
his brother FBI agent whether
he is ahead or behind Sched-
ule. Charley Capozzoli former
Georgetown star and Curt Stone,
both of the New York A. c. hope
to make a contest of it.
Reggie Pearman of the Pho
neer Club appears as the favor
lite in the Buermeyer 500 in the
absence Of Nal Whitfield, who
won't compete. His main COM
petition will come from Ollie
Sax OF Penn State, last years
winner.
In the Halpin half, Roscoe
Browne will duel with 1t. Carl
Joyce of the Marine Corps, an
other former Georgetowner:
Paul Raudenbush of Penn. Bill
Smith OF Boston U. and Harry
Bright of the Pioneer Club.
Pete McCreary of the New
York A. c., who has won the
event twice, heads the hurdles
field, while Art Bragg. Mike
Agostini. the Villanova freshman
from Trinidad, and Indy
Remingo of the New York A. c..
should fight it out in the 60

.6W''s 1903 Points High
For This Season, but
Outlook Is Tougher

A scoring record for this sea-
son is the most notable result
of the basketball exercises
George Washington conducted
against Washington & Lee last
night at Uline Arena.
Things get a mite tougher for
the Colonials as they hit into
the home stretch Of four windup
games next week and the week
after, so the 108-63 decision over
the Generals last night more
than likely will stand as the
high mark for 1953-54. It passed
the best previous total of the
season, a 106-75 edge over West
Virginia in the opening game.
Last nights game was a
somewhat wild affair staged be-
fore 5000 spectators. about
5000 Of them in-for-free Boy
Scouts and Cub Scouts. From
the noise they made, they ap-
parently had a good time. The

Didn't Set Record.
Although GW's score last night
was fancy enough, it was not a
school record. Last seasons team
matched or passed it a number
of times, and among other
things beat this same school,
| 1O8-59.
1t was the second time this
season the Colonials had beaten
W&L-the first time it was 84-53
at Lexington-and it left CIV
with a 1911 mark and W85L
with Ali. +f.
The game went just about as
expected, with the Colonials
romping to a fancy early lead
and enlarging on it as the clock
progressed. CIV was ahead by
liza in the first five minutes.
and by the end of the first quar-
ter it was 1919. The Generals
had only one field goal, that by
Ken Groeneveld, in the first
period, and it was 10 minutes
later before Jim Rich counted
again for the Generals from
the floor.
Corkly Devlin is High.
AS the game continued it was
1925 for CIV at halftime and
90-45 at the three-quarters.
Corkly Devlin was the scoring
gun for the Colonials last night
with % points. while Joe Holup
and Elliot Karver had II each.
Jack Hare was best for the
visitors with IL.

1t was Wilson's seventh straight
