I'VE may be on our way: this
Is where we started last year, "
Joe Gallagher, coach of St.
Johns. said Tuesday night after
a record 107-52 triumph over
Fairfax in the first round of
the Washington-Lee Invitational
basketball tournament.
Gallagher wasn't as jubilant
after whipping Wakefield, 57-39.
in the semifinals Thursday night,
but last night in victory again
in the f1nals-he was reminded
of this tournament a year ago
in which the Johnnies found the
punch which carried them to
the Catholic League champion
ship and to the finals of the
Washington Catholic Invita-
tional.
They like the Washington-Lee
gym. They've won eight in a
row there, and last nights was
the sweetest. After losing twice
to rival Gonzaga by S points
during the regular season, and
giving up its Catholic title in
the process, st. Johns last night
clipped the Eagles, $3.50, to re-
peat as tournament winner.
The consolation preliminary
resulted in Washington Lee
trimming its troublesome neigh
Dor, Wakefield. 1875, before a
surprisingly good crowd of 5000.
Mandes Leads st. Johns
st. Johns used a man-to-man
defense again and outdid the
Eagles with their own weapon.
The hero was 5-foot-8 Jim
Mandes, who bounded Gonzaga's
Tom McCloskey. the tourna-
ment's high scorer and most
dazzling performer.
Little Jim, who had scored just
two foul shots the night before
against Wakefield, outpointed
McCloskey. IA to II, and scored
9 in a row in the third quar-
ter to shatter a PAPA halftime
tie and put the champions ahead
for good.
The score was 1925 entering
the fourth period and the Eagles
made four of IA floor shots in
trying to erase a st. Johns lead
which reached II points twice.
The Johnnies connected on 10

George Mason
Herndon
In TourneyFina
By DICK TIERNEY

1t would seem that the only
way for the George Mason High
School basketball team to beat
Herndon in the finals Of the
District 8, Virginia Group II
playoffs at $3.50 tonight would
be to stop the Hornets high
scoring, 6-foot-5 center. Roy
Fox.
But Joe Grain, the Mustangs
coach, feels that a good offense
is better than a good defense,
at least for this game. Were
not going to worry about STOP
ping Fox" he said. Instead,
we're going to make them worry
about stopping US"
Last night Herndon defeated
Nokesville, 55-37. and in the
afternoon George Mason. host
team for the playoffs, turned on
a fourth-quarter splurge to up
set Osbourn, 1853. Until the
final period the lead changed
hands six times and the score
was knotted seven.
Osbourn Weakened
Osbourn was weakened when
Wallace Hook fouled out late
in the third quarter. But it is
doubtful that he would have
stopped the Mustangs in the hec-
tic fourth. when they hit 70 per
cent Of their shots and outscored
Osbourn, 25-15.
In the dressing room. Coach
Joe Fortuna of Osbourn ap-
peared a bit stunned by the
Mustangs showing. While he
predicted Herndon victory in
the playoffS, he had nothing
but praise for George Mason.
I'm surprised a team could
improve so much" Fortuna said
referring to the Mustangs. I'm
the first game (January 81 I was
able to clear my bench against
them and beat them, 60-37.
"Joe Grain has done wonder
full job" he continued, especially
when you consider the lack of
height he had to work with"
Fox Scores "a
Fox scored "a points to lead
top-seeded Herndon to it's 18th
straight victory. which includes
a faculty game. Herndon hit
only % per cent Of it's shots and
Nokesville % per cent in a dull
game.
Herndon, which defeated
George Mason last Friday, 1886,
in a league game, will be play
ing the Mustangs again tonight
for berth in the Virginia State
Group II tournament. Tonight's
victor will be competing with
champions from Virginia's nine
other districts Wednes day
through Saturday at Blacksburg.
In the girls tournament at
George Mason, Loudoun County
defeated Garfield, 36-29, and
Osbourn beat Nokesville. 1888.
The winners meet tonight at 7
in the finals.
Today's consolation games are
scheduled at 2 o'clock for the
girls and $3.50 for the boys.

Loyo|a Meets
in Final
OF Mason-Dixon
BY LEWIS F. ATCHIsoN

For the third straight year IL
will be Mount st. Mary's VS..
Loyola tonight in the windup
of the Mason-Dixon Conference
basketball tournament at Cath
Ollie University gym.
The title game is scheduled
for $3.50 and there will be no
preliminary. Any time the
the Mount and Greyhonds get
together preliminaries are I'M
necessary. The boys like to get
right down to cases and a SELL
out is assured.
| Mount st. Mary's, defending
the title it has held for two
years, came from behind to wal
Ilop Roanoke, 1l6-78, while 10y
ola padded Hampden-Sydney
101-68, in last nights semifinals.
The Mount busted off Bridge
water, 1866, in the first round,
while Loyola advanced at Wash
ington Colleges expense, 96-70.
| With two victories over the
Mount in league competition
this year Loyola should be a
slight favorite. but the game is
more of a toss-up. The Grey
hounds margin for the two games
was only six points and the
Mount didn't have Jack Sullivan
in the second.
Sullivan Scores "a
Sullivan was much in evidence
last night. The Washington
Iyoungster. who scored A points
against Baltimore University
last year for a tournament rec
ord. ripped the cords for "a last
night before leaving the game
midway in the final half. He hit
for % against Bridgewater.
With Bill Williams. Fran
Smith. Burt Sheing and Bill
Stanley alternately banging the
boards with Sullivan, the Mount
made a runaway of it in the
second half. But Roanoke threw
a scare into the Emmitsburg five
in the first half when Dave
Foltz, the games second high
scorer with 20 points. paced his
team mates to a 34-24 lead. At
that point Coach Jim Phelan
abandoned his man-for-man de-
Tense and shifted into a zone
which the tall Virginians failed
to fathom.
Loyola. which has beaten
Mount st. Mary's only once in
three tries in title games, was at
its best against Hampden-
Sydney. opening up a 30-point
lead in the first half and coast
ing home. Coach Lefty Reitz
emptied his bench in the second
half and everybody got into the
scoring act. with Paul Dodd, Jim
Allenbaugh and Denny MCGUIRE
taking high honors.
Hampden-Sydney Cools Off
Hampden-Sydney cooled off
perceptibly after hot night in
which it eliminated Catholic u
in the preliminaries, 1O6-96
Ted Shepherd and Russ Hol-
comb, who accounted for 81
points against the Cardinals,
were held to a paltry 10 by
Loyola and with these big guns
silenced the Virginians were
counted out early.
Loyola's two victories over
Mount st. Mary's in league COM
petition may put a little pres
sure on the Greyhounds tonight
Making it three in a row will
be tough. The Baltimore five
won't be any sharper than last
might, while the Mount has i'm
proved with each game after a
dull tournament debut. Ameri-
can U. proved that Loyola can
be beaten by upsetting Reitz'
isharpshooters. 1911, in the final
game of the regular campaign a
week ago after the Greyhounds
mad chalked up Is consecutive
league victories.

NEWS OF MUSIC
Miss Addison Shows
Intimate Side Of Art

The voice has great power. but
shows no edginess in fortissimos,
and in quiet passages has the
airy delicacy of a flute. The pro-
lduction Of the highest notes is
as effortless as a passage in the
middle register, and the preci-
sion Of rapid running notes could
not be bettered by a pianist.
Though strong, Miss Addison's
voice is bright and compare
lively light. 1t has much the
same timbre as that of Leon
tyne Price, and it would be a
treat to hear the two in duets.
It is almost custom to open
| a song recital with Purcell or
Handel. The familiar strains of
20, Sleep" have seldom had
more lyric sweetness and steely
control than they showed last
night. The French group was

of Couperin played on a harpsi-
chord.

cal line over the monotonous

startling to have written that
Miss Addison is wonderful. How
ever. to leave q recital which
one anticipated as something
very special without let-down or
reservation must be something
iof a tribute to the singer.
