You have to string along

college basketball team for the
sixth straight week.

them ahead again this week by
Ia margin Of lat points over
Dayton, also unbeaten.
George Washington, beaten last
week by Virginia Tech, dropped
out Of the top 90 for the first
time since the preseason poll.
The Colonials were l4th last
week.
San Francisco racked up VIC
tories over Santa Clara and
Fresno State last week to run its
Itwo-season winning streak to 80
straight games. That equaled
the major college record, held by
Long Island University and
Seton Hall. It also left the Dons
in a very comfortable position,
as they don't have another game
scheduled until they meet Cali
fornia January %.
Although the Dons collected
only 81 of 1874 f1rst-place votes
as compared to "a of 11S last
week. they actually increased
their margin over Dayton by %
points. San Francisco was voted
second on % ballots and lower

MARYLAND Slated to Name
Mont Head Coach Today
EIkins Summons
Press; Ex-Terp
Widely Backed
BY MERRELL WHITTLEsEY


Tommy Mont. backfield coach
at Maryland for the past five
years. was expected to be named
head coach this afternoon. suc-
lceeding Jim Tatum.
DR.. Wilson H. Elkins, presi.
dent. called q press conference
for 4 pm. There was nothing
Iofficial on Mont, but it was be.
lieved that he was to be DR.. Fl.
kins' choice.
The best guess was that Bill
Cobey. business manager Of
athletics for eight years, and
cashier of the university for II.
would be named director Of ath-
letics. thus splitting the posts
held by Tatum.
The 33-year-old Mont was
Maryland's quarterback in 1912.
During World War II, he coached
the Sd Infantry team to the
championship of the European
Theater. He came back to star for
Maryland's 1916 team and after
graduation played four years
with the Redskins, being named
backfield coach in 1850.
Coached in Mexico
For the past three summers
Mont has spent his vacation In
Mexico as advisory coach of the
National Polytechnic team. Last
fall he spent two weeks in Cam
ada assisting Jack Hennemier
with the early coaching Of the
Calgary team of the Canadian
lpro league.
Mont also scouts the Atlantic
Coast Conference area for the
Los Angeles Rams and last year
they took Ronnie Waller on his
Recommendation. Waller was the
fourth leading ground gamer.
Tommy. considerably heavier
than in his playing days, would
be Maryland's first alumni coach
since the triumvirate Of Jack
Faber. AL Heagy and AL Woods
handled the duties in 1904.
Mont played under them, and
also played lacrosse.
State Emphasis Important
One important factor believed
to be in Mont's favor, in addi-
ltion to being an alumnus and
q member of the staff under Ia
ltum, is that he is in charge Of
the Statewide football program.
Tommy Is o native Of Cum
berland, and DR.. Elkins and
many Of Maryland's alumni are
known to feel that the State
should be represented in greater
numbers on the Maryland squad,
Mont married a Maryland CO.
ed. Virginia Askins of Balti-
more. while in college and they
have three sons, Steve, 8; JEFF.
8, and Danny. S. The Monts
live in College Park.
Tommy, who carried much of
the offensive burden while
coaching for the defense-minded
Tatum. also was the court jester
OF the staff. His lighter touch
broke up many a grim moment
in the team meetings. and he has

trate on the coming baseball

of their regular players in the
fold.
First Baseman Walt Dropo and
Pitcher AL Papai returned their
signed 1856 contracts yesterday
and brought the number Of salts
fed players to 10. OF the regu-
lars. only Pitchers Jack Harsh
man and Dick Donovan, Catcher
Sherm Lollar and Second Base
man Nellie Fox have yet to sign.
Dropo was the clubs top home
run producer in 1858 with 10.
He batted .2e0 and drove In 70
runs In l41 games.
Papai. So, hurled 11a5 innings
in relief for the White Sox after

First Baseman- Outflelde. Whitley
Lockman Of the Giants, Out
fielder Monte Irwin Of the Cubs:
Shortstop Joe DeMaestri and
Pitcher Bill Heritage Of the Ath-
letics and Pitcher Jim Wilson
of the Orioles.
Rosen had his most disap-
pointing year with the Indians
last year when he batted only
.244. No salary figures were an
nounced. but he took a cut.
Cards May Get Lockman
Lockman, repeatedly bound
for the Cardinals In q trade,
became the ninth Giant to sign.
The 29-year-old veteran received
the same salary as last year,
$25. 900, despite q substandard
season. He batted .273 in l42
games, splitting his time between
first base and the outfield.
Irwin, who will be 81 next
may be making his last
major league bid. After suffering
a compound ankle fracture In
1852. he never consistently re-
gained his peak form. Shipped
to Minneapolis by the Giants last
season. he batted 1852 for the
Millers. knocking In So runs and
hitting IA homers. The Cubs
drafted him last month on the
strength Of this performance. He
became the 18th Cub to sign.

Mrs. harrington had beaten
him two years ago and her
husband, the late Delegate
Joseph r. Harrington, had
whipped him soundly in 194S.
Attitude Has Changed
In 1913 Mr.. Burns candidly
told a rally audience, II haven't
got the chance of a SNOWFALL in
Hades of being elected"
Before Tuesdays election, he
cody estimated he would win by
about $4,000 votes.
The difference shows the
change in Delegate Burns-and
the change in the Democratic
Party he has headed.
He told reporters:
'I'll either come home at the
end Of my first term with State
hood or the right for Hawaii's
people to elect their own Cover
nor and have more self-govern-
ment."
Backed by Bridges Union
Statehood wasn't an issue in
his campaign with Mrs. Earring
ton-except that each claimed
more ability to win it.
I'VE are in the best position
we have ever been in to attain
Statehood because we have a
Democratic delegate and a Demo-
cratic Congress-" Mr.. Burns said
after the election.
The 47-year-old delegate rode
to victory with the backing of
Harry Bridges International

mems Union.

his support by the HWU.
