little cash on the deal.
Before that development. to-
morrow's game had been given

the fact that the Johnnies have

crux Of the matter: st. Johns
had to preserve its record but
hardly could cherish an impor-
tant victory If 1t won.
A person close to the situa-
ton put it about like this: "Sup-
pose st. Johns wins. Does it
mean that they are better than
all the District schools put to-
gether? OF course not. Okay,
what If they (St. John's) lose.
Well, they were supposed to,
anyway. so what does it all
mean?"

Mrs. Mos, Honored
,
By Woman Golfers

Mrs. Morris Moss of Wood
mont was honored as the most
improved handicap player of the
year at the 33rd annual luncheon
meeting Of the Women's District
Golf Association yesterday at
Woodmont Country Club.
. Mrs. Moss was singled out for
her play which reduced her han
dicap from 26 to 16.
The association announced
that henceforth it would limit
membership to clubs within IS
miles of the District line. This
means Quantico would be
dropped. The action resulted
from the fact that the associa-
tons membership is too large
for practical tournament han
ding.
Mrs. Ralph Goldsmith of
Woodmont. the outgoing presi-
dent, was presented with several
gifts in appreciation for her
services in 1854, a banner year
for the group.
New officers elected were Mrs.
L. N. Hill of Kenwood, president:
Mrs. John Mancos, Belle Haven,
vice president: Mrs. William E.
Shannon. wife of the president
Of Columbia, second vice presi-
dent; Mrs. Marie Spates, Prince
, Georges, secretary, and Mrs.
Lloyd Dennis, Washington, treas
llrer.

1t had been q Go tie with the
same club and the Johnnies were
being kept at fever pitch for
three weeks before they could
relax with q win over their long,

No doubt 1t was q blue Mon
day when the st. Johns kids
woke up with the realization
that there was another week Of
practice ahead. The sponsors
and the beneficiaries the IL
District and the four Catholic
high school athletic departments
can feel fortunate that the
Miami Kiwanians interceded this
week.
Coach Joe Gallagher Of the
Johnnies admits as much. "Since
we have gotten the trip to Miami,
the boys want to take q clean
record down there. The an
nouncement Of the trip has
buoyed them up." he said.
I'VE definitely want to win the
game" Gallagher continued, re-
ferring to the meeting with the
all-stars. "But we don't want
to tire the boys out, so well use

This Is the 18th edition of the
big postseason high school game
in the District. It began in I94S
as the All-Prep VS.. ALI High at
traction, you may recall, in
which Virginia and Maryland
public schools sent their best
players to join the Interhigh's
best against the top stars from
the Catholic and private schools,
including Bulls and Dewitt Prep.
Then in 1949 the public schools
demanded that Bulls and other
postgraduate schools be ruled
out. Then Virginia and Mary
land Joined the National High
School Federation and dropped
out Of the game because the ma
tional body looked unkindly on
all-star affairs.

going after its fifth straight
Catholic title and fifth appear

imagine the feeling among the
Johnnies, who have already
beaten Anacostia. the TnterhigR
champion, DOT. this year and
who must now face the whole
league. in essence.
*A&
The all-star idea this year
came out of the insistence by
the i've former Negro schools
that they be included In the
game because of the integration
program. Since there was no
way to decide champion this
late between the Division ! and
II leagues, 1t was decided to pick
80 boys from all IA schools to
represent the District.
Next year. when the District
assigns its schools to East and
West divisions and the color line
is dropped completely, the plan
is to return to the recent ar
rangement of champion vs..
champion.
Things viii be back to normal
then, but in the meantime the
invitation to Miami makes our
1854 attraction more palatakle.

Rain Delays Doubles

MELBOURNE, Dec. "a, tor
rental doWnpour today forced
postponement of the doubles
finals in the Victorian tennis
championships. Vic Seixas and
Tony Trabert, top American
Davis Cuppers. had been slated
to play Rex HartWig and Mer-
vyn Rose, the Wimbledon cham
pions from Australia.
The doubles final was rescued
uled for Monday in Difference to
Seixas. who meets Ken Rosewall
tomorrow for the singles title.
Meanwhile, 19-year-old Lew
Hoad, once Australia's tennis
hero, was criticized in Melbourne
newspapers today as an "irritat-
ing and half hearted" prayer
whose career has been irrep-
arably damaged by an "out-
rageous performance, in the
Victorian championships. na3a
Worst Since Larsen. .
One writer said Hoad, in losing
to Seixas, gave the worst DEM
onstration of bad court manners
since Art Larsen was here four
years ago." Seixas beat Hoad in
straight sets in the semifinals
yesterday. The writer added that
hundreds of spectators left the
court when Hoad smashed a ball
into the backstop and another
high into the grandstand.
In a special press interview,
Hoad explained the reason for
his tantrums with II am sick of
every one getting on my back. !"
He said for the last several
weeks, including the New South
Wales tournament. he had been
criticized for playing badly and
would like to be left alone. He
denied having played too much
tennis, but said he plans a two
day holiday away from the
courts.
Felt Like Seeking Ball.
Asked why he hit the ball into
the stands, Hoad replied: Be
cause I felt like 1t. / wanted to
get rid of some pent-up emo
ton"
Harry Hopman, Australian
Davis Cup captain, said he had
no immediate solution to Hoad's
actions but added he believes the
young star will snap out of it.
Jack Crawford, former VIM
bledon champion and Australian
Davis Cup star. said too much
fuss Is being made over Hoad's
tennis form.
"At this stage, there is no need
for Davis Cup panic about
Hoad." Crawford said in a by
lined article In the Sydney Sun.

his best he can reach the semi
finals OF a major tournament in

TUSCALOOSA, Ala, Dec. g.
J. B. (Ears) Whitworth, former
Alabama guard and Oklahoma
ASsM head coach, was named
head football coach at the Uni
yersity Of Alabama yesterday to
replace Harold (Red) Grew.
Removal Of Drew had been
speculated for some time. He.
had been under fire by the
alumni for several years, even
though he produced an eight
year record of So victories, 26
losses and Z ties, and took the
Crimson Tide to three major
bowl games.
Gets Three Year Contract.
Among the. most surprised was
Whitworth. He said he knew
nothing about his chances of
becoming the next Alabama
coach until Wednesday morning
when he was asked to come to
Tuscaloosa by Hank Crisp, Ala
bama's acting athletic director.
He signed a three-year contract.
Drew will remain at Alabama
as head track coach and asso-
ciate professor of physical edu-
cation.
Whitworth's salary was not
disclosed. He was repeatedly
making $4,000 at Oklahoma
A&M. Drew's salary was under
stood to have been $4,000.

The 46- year : old Whitworth
played guard on Alabama's 1929,
1880 and 1881 teams. He served
as assistant coach at Alabama,
Louisiana State and Georgia,
and went to Oklahoma A0zM five
years ago. He produced q record
Of % wins, q losses and three
ties while there.
Whitworth still had a year to
go In his Aggie contract, but |
A&M officials had assured him
they would not prevent him from |
going to Alabama.
Hank Iba, ASSM athletic direc-
tor, said in Saltwater, Okla, that
it is too early to speculate on a
possible successor.
Whitworth said he will leave
Tuscaloosa tomorrow and hopes
to return next week, when he'll
"get right on the job"
All present Alabama assistant |
coaches will be retained, and
Whitworth will add two more of

ESTHETICALLY one might say
the Fall Frui, Grain and Vegetable

least insoffr as that was the amount
of free-yfll contributions placed In
the basIet at the entryway, but when
it came to the more satisfactory con-
templation of sampling some of the
colorful produce, the auction sale of
the displays at the close of the show
raised in excess of s44. If the
figures prove anything, it must be
that natures harvest is beautiful
