been looking at five other guys
when he got the idea his regu-
lars might be getting stale.
He let them kick up their
heels for a change last night
and the Dons frolicked in an
87-49 runaway against College
of the Pacific-locking up their
second straight California Bas-
ketban Association title and
gaining official entry to the
NCAA tournament for defense
of their national championship

consecutive triumph and the
54th in SIS starts, and the school
Immediately claimed an all-time
college record.
The NCAA recognizes a S.
game streak by little Peru
(Nebr.) State Teachers in the
mid 20s as the all-time record.
But Dick Blake, Dons' publicity
man, said he has a letter from
A. G. Wheeler, Peru athletic di-
rector, stating the record was
against Nebraska teams only
and did not represent consecu-
tive victories against all oppo-
nents
Wheeler told the Associated
Press, however. that he had no
way of knowing for sure whether
Peru played out-state teams in

found to be 81 games. not SIS.

ticket basis because the folks
want to be assured Of tickets for
Friday and Saturday nights.
Maryland is in the role OF
troublemaker. The Terps do not
appear strong enough to go all
the way. because it's extremely
unlikely they could beat Duke
N. c. State and North Carolina
on successive nights.
But the Terps are good enough
to give Duke a peck Of trouble
tomorrow night and If success
full there would meet the N. C
tate-Clemson winner in the
semif1nals.
N. c. States defending cham
Ipions, who have won 26 games
and lost one in Southern Con-
ference and Atlantic Coast Con-
ference tournament competition
in nine years under Coach Ever
EFT Case. are the only outfit with
out a set starting lineup.
Case has been juggling since
Ron Shavlik, the Wolfpack' s
great center, suffered broken
left wrist last Saturday night
At first it was announced that
Shavlik was through for the sea :
son. but he worked out yesterday
with an orthopedic brace on the
wrist and now Case says he may
see action.
If Shavlik is unable to play
the Wolfpack coach probably will
continue to experiment against
Clemson and then decide on his
fifth starter for the semifinal
game. Bob Seitz, 6-foot-l1 sub;
George Stepanovich. 6-foot-4
sophomore, and Nick Pond, g.
Ifoot-4 junior, are the players
being tested as requirements for
Shavlik.
| Maryland has not met with toe
much success in tournament
competition here since Bud Mil
likan took over as coach six
years ago. The Terps have wor
three first-round games but lost
all three times in the semifinals
twice in overtime to Wake For
rest. They have lost twice in the
first round, last year to Virginia
in overtime. They have yet tc
make the final.
Tourney Record Likely
II North Carolina makes thu
final. Lennie Rosenbluth will be
favored to shatter the tourra-
ment scoring record Of 70 points
set by Shavlik last year. How
ever the one-game record of AZ
points set by Virginia's Buzz
Wilkinson two years ago is likely
to stand.
NOTES-An oddly in the ACC
statistics is that the top eight
scorers in the Conference come
from the eight different schools.
North Carolina will learn
tonight whether Bob Cunning
ham will be eligible for the tour
nament. He and Bill Tucker Of
Wake Forrest were suspended
following a free-for-all in a re-
cent Tar Heel-Wake Forrest
game. Athletic directors Of
the conference met today. with
the ACC sports writers, the
basketball coaches and other
groups meeting during the week.

sixth on the list of all-time
collegiate scorers.
And now George Washington,
with a 1876 record. is in good
shape to go after the conference
title it lost to West Virginia in
last years tournament final.
Coach Bill Reinhart has six or
seven players from whom to
choose his starters. and his bench
strength is adequate for a short
three-game series, They aren't
tired, and they're in good scoring
form.
George Washington meets
Washington & Lee at 4 pm. to-
morrow following the tourney
opener between Richmond and
William g. Mary at 2 pm. West
Virginia battles Davidson at 1880
and Virginia Tech meets Fur
man at $50 to round out the
days activity.
The GW-W&L winner plays
the Richmond-W&M victor in
one semifinal Friday with the
West Virginia Davidson and
Virginia Tech-Furman winners
meeting in the other.
For Georgetown, last nights
game was it's season windup with
a 1911 record, a hairline
improvement over the previous
seasons 1912 figure.
Losing Only Three Seniors
The Hoya's two high scorers
last night were Ken Pichette, a
I6-foot-3 sophomore who Melted
81 points. and Joe Missett. a g.
foot-61a junior. responsible for
10. Both will be back next year
along with every other member
of last nights starting five.
The Hoyas, in fact, are losing
only three seniors, one of whom
hasn't played much this season.
At this point the Hoyas might
be figured as having the markings
of surprisingly strong team for
the 1956-57 campaign, particu-
larry as they have another in
their series of real good fresh
man teams. Last night the
Georgetown Frosh tripped the
CIV Jayvees, 69-58. for the sec
ond time this season.
So Georgetown, which twice
bowed to George Washington
this season. might be good
winter book wager to reverse
matters next season.
One item of statistical interest
about Georgetown: Mjssett's 10
points gave him a season total
of 443 points. an average of 1856
a game, for a new Georgetown
record. The old record average
of 1929 points was set by Bill
Bolger of the 1928 team, who
scored 1874 points in a 21-game
season.
