PLAY GEORGETOWN TONIGHT
Gardner BockinD.
With Spring Hill Quint
BY BILL FUCHS

Bill Gardiner. the ex-Gonzaga
High star who took his frozen
feet to Spring Hill College in
Alabama 10 years ago and turned
a three-month coaching trial
into a career. brings his Badgers
to McDonough Gym at $3.50
tonight for game against
Georgetown.
Coach GARDENERS Badgers
have split even in l6 games but
bring with them a reputation
for rising to an occasion. They
caused quite a stir in the Senior
Bowl tournament early last
month by upsetting both Glenn
son and Memphis State, ma
tionally Unbranded team at the
time, for the title.
It's a nice visit back home
Gardiner is experiencing. The
Badgers played Loyola in Balti-
more Saturday night, losing. 89-
"A, after leading at the half
and they play at American to-
morrow night.
Hoyas Have lis Record
Georgetown also lost Saturday
night, 69-68, and will put an
11-8 record on the line tonight.
The Hoyas entertain the More
head State Teachers Saturday
night and close out their season
next week with two games
against George Washington and
one against Maryland.
Gardiner. who underwent some
rugged experiences in World War
II. has found peace at Spring
Hill, a small Jesuit School near
Mobile. A beautiful campus, an
l8-hole golf course and a natural
lake for fishing and swimming
are among Spring Hills assets.
Warm climate and a pressure
free job are a couple of other
assets high on GARDENERS list of
reasons for remaining there.
The Army helped set up Bill, a
Georgetown graduate, in the
coaching profession. The young
lieutenant was captured by the
Germans and when he escaped
several months later he weighed
90 pounds and had frozen feet. a
permanently impaired stomach
and a weakened condition Of the
eyes for which he still takes
shots.
Says He Was Lucky
Il was lucky" he says. i was
in the 106th Infantry Division. 1t
had 80 per cent casualties.
After fattening him up, the
Army sent Gardiner to Manila
for a coaches clinic and then
ordered him to the Pentagon. He
had one duty-to set himself up
in coaching. either in the Army
or as a civilian. Il wanted to go
South" he says. With those
frozen feet l didn't want any
more winter than l could help.
Spring Hill offered him a try
out and since then he has worked
himself up to athletic director
as well as retaining his coaching
Job. His teams have won l3l and
lost 124 against top competition

Violations Cited
InWar on SIums

The District has issued 1.342
complaint notices involving
nearly 6,400 violations of the
city's new housing code since
the code was established last
September.
Col. Robert E. Mathe. assistant
engineer commissioner, cited the
code enforcement as a major ac-I
complishment in the city's war
on slums and blight.
At the same time, however. he
told a luncheon meeting of the
Washington Clearing House on
Stun Clearance, RedevelopmentI
and Housing yesterday that the
anti-slum program has several
severe problem areas"
Mass of Red Tape
Among the most critical. he
said, are "myriads and myriads
of red tape" and the absence of
a clear delineation of respon-
sibilities" among the many Fed
eral and city agencies involved.
The housing code violations,
Col. Mathe said. run the gamut
from minor improvements cost
ing "a few cents" to major ex-
penditures running into thou
sands of dollars. About half the
notices have been complied with,
but the enforcement program has
resulted in the displacement of
SIS families, he said.
The enforcement job is being
carried out by a Six-inSpector
team moving block by block
eastward from Second street NE
between Constitution avenue on
the south and F street and Mary
land avenue on the north. About
43 of a total of 1856 blocks in the
first concentrated enforcement
area have been covered so far.
3S9 structures RaZed
Col. Mathe said the Board for
the Condemnation of Insanitary
Buildings. under new enforce
ment powers. also has forced the
repair of 203 deficient structures
and the raZing of 389 others dur
ing the last year.
In another talk, Charles Con-
rad, National Capital Planning
Commission staff member, de-
scriped a detailed analysis now
under way of 1873 'neighobrhood
areas" which make up the Dis
trict.
Mr.. Conrad explained this ap-
proach will enable the residents
of each neighborhood-generally
ihe area served by an elementary
school-to determine the ade-
luacy of existing public services
and to predict the impact of new
development projects in terms of
