GEORGETOWN Names Nolan
Fu|I-Time Basketball Coach
Ex-Hoyo Stondout
Resigning Jobs at
Gonzogo and Bell
BY BILL FUCHS

Tommy Nolan, a popular coach
in high school sports here for
the past IA years, has signed a
|three-year contract as head
coach of basketball at George
town University.
The announcement, made to-
day by the Rev. Richard C. Law,
the schools moderator of ath-
letics, came as no surprise. Nolan,
the ex-G-man with the hand
somely rugged face and winning
smile, has been mentioned fire.
quently as a likely successor to
the job held the last three years
by Buddy Jeanette.
Unlike Jeanette, who was
fired at the close of this season,
Nolan is making a full plunge
into the job. He will become a
Ifull-time member of the George
town physical education faculty,
thus giving up not only his
basketball coaching job at Con-
zaga, but also his teaching job
with the District public schools
He teaches social studies at Bell
Vocational High School.
Gonzaga Record Helps
Jeanette was a part time
coach. committing from Balti-
more where he lived. and held
full-time position with a pro-
duce company. Nolan will be full
time all the way. also taking
charge of the freshmen. Morgan
(Pop) Sweetman, a member of
the physical education staff for
number of years, has been
named assistant basketball
coach. Hugh Beins, a former
star, coached the frosh while
attending law school the past
three seasons.
The fact that Nolan is an
alumnus of Georgetown, a star
basketball and baseball player
there in the late 1905, was a
factor in his selection from
among So applicants. So was
his splendid three-year record
at Gonzaga-63 victories, 20
Ilosses-capped by a tremendous
showing this season in which
the Eagles were regarded as the
No. l schoolboy team of the
area. They won 81 and lost 3,
going to the finals of the
knights of Columbus tourna-
ment.
Father Law had this to say of
Nolan:

Senators
To Hit Against
Good Pitching
Vern Lows Breeze
Points Up Need to

Star STAFF Correspondent

ORLANDO, FLA, Mar. GA
disturbing note is infiltrating the
Senators camp They've seen
one solid pitcher this spring and
what he's done to them should
make them blush.
Of the swarm of pitchers to
confront the Senators in 10
games, only Vern Law of the
Pirates may be regarded as a
real major Lacquer at this time
He won 10, lost 10 with the woe
fully weak cellar club of the Ma
tional League last season.
In 10 innings against Wash
ington, he has allowed one run
and 1--WE hits. He made q presen-
tation of that run, walking Pete
Runnels with the bases loaded
in the first inning yesterday as
Pittsburgh won, 6-3, at Fort
Myers.
He has Dick Tettelbach and
Herb Plews embarrassed. Tet-
telbach has opposed Law four
times, striking out three times
and fouling to the Businessman
on the other occasion. PlewS
famed twice yesterday, hit into
a force play and walked.
Schedule Won't Help
If the Senators are to belt
good pitching, they still must
prove it. In five innings against
Law yesterday they hit only folI
balls beyond the confines Of the
|infield and one of those-a POP
fly to short right by Carlos Paula
could have been handled by
the second baSeman.
The Senators need to look al
all the good pitching they car
from now until they spring the
barrier April II, but an ill-con-
ceived training schedule viii
prevent it, They'll be off foul
days next week, will be idle
again April IL and will be idle
two days before they clash with
the Yankees in the opener al
Griffith Stadium.
Thus, of 26 days remaining
before the opener, the Senators
will be inactive seven days al
though the young club is
desperately in need of work,
Their undesirability as play
mates-the Senators don't at
tract customers - is operating
against them.
Tex Clevenger, late of the Red
Sox. was disappointment
yesterday. He was nailed for
seven hits and four runs in six
innings, permitting six runs.
Bob Chakales mopped up, hold
ing the Pirates scoreless for two
innings.
Brodowski Faces Reds
Dick Brodowski. another Bos-
ton castoff, will try to give the
Senators a lift today, when he
stacks up against Cincinnati
here He'll be followed by Con-
ME Grob.
The Senators had an oppor-
tunity to break the game wide
open in the first inning after
Eddie Yost singled and Plews
walked, but Tettelbach famed
before Roy Sievers walked to fill
the bases. Paula flied to Frank
Thomas in short right, Runnels
walked to force across run, but

The noises of the country
sometimes sound strange to city
ears. Little Mike Alderman, who
came down from New York to
spend a week or so on The 40
Acres. got something of a start
his first night in the country.
Mike was sitting at the supper
table when the frog chorus down
on the pond started up. 1t was
in particularly good form. with
the BASES and tenors blending
well together.
The music began suddenly,
almost as though a director, sit
ting on a lilly pad, had waved
the doWnbeat with his baton.
OF course, we pay little at
tentlon to our frog chorus now.
I think we might miss it only if
it stopped altogether. But it has
become part of blend of coun-
try noises that we note sub
consciously
But to Mike it was a new
experience. He had never heard
frogs before, and his eyes got
as large as the saucer on the
table before him.

Seed Saving Runs Risks
People ask about saving seed
especially dahlia seed. You viii
seldom get the same type. Thi:
is equally true of many other
flowers. They do not come true
from seed. PetuniaS are a good
example. Some plants will be
tall, and some short. Many
flowers will be small and quite
ordinary.
Things You Can Plant Now
Even at this late date you NAV
plant the seeds of morning

or to hide an ugly fence.

There is no scientific evidence

Professor Truog recommends
that home gardeners use COM
post or other organic matter to
promote better physical condi-
tions in the soil and then sup
plement this with commercial
fertilizer He san there is not
merit in the claim that COM
mercial fertilizers acids give
rise to crops of inferior food
value. causing animals as well
as humans to be more suscep-
tible to disease.
When organic matter rots in
the soil through the action of
bacteria, its nitrogen is changed
to nitric acid, its sulphur to sui
phuric acid, he states, and these
acids then combine with ele-
ments like calcium in the soil
to form salts which serve as
nutrients for plants. He be-
lieves there is no difference be-
tween the nitric and sulphuric
acids formed in the soil from
organic matter and these same
acids as used in a fertilizer
factory.

THIS WEEK
IN THE GARDEN

If you grow the lovely, old
fashioned favorite, the hollyhock,
watch for signs of rust. Clear
away dead or dying foliage and
dust with Bordeaux.
Cuttings for House Plants
This is the time to prepare
fresh new house plants for the
winter. Take cuttings from CO.
leuS, rose hebonias and geran-
umS. Use a sharp knife and then
stick the cutting into clean, moist
sand in a shaded spot.
Seeding Now for Fall Plants
If you are going to start seeds
of biennials and perennials, now
is a good time. Use fresh seed.
BY fall, you will have fine,
healthy plants ready for early
spring bloom. That is, you will
if you remember to water reg
ularly.
Stalking Often Wise
Time to talk about stalking
again. Many plants grow tall and
willowy, or tall and brittle like
the dahlia. In either case, they
will require stalking
Meaning of "Cultivar"
There is a new term coming
into common usage among horti-
cultural-minded people. Maybe
we should all learn to use it
properly. The word is cultivar.
Cultivar should be used instead
of variety when we speak of
plants which originated or are
maintained in cultivation. Va
riety should be used when we
refer to plants which occur in
the wild.
Quoting from the recent letter
Of the Camellia Society of the
Potomac Valley then, we should
say that japonica, sasanqua,
reticulata, ETC., are various spe-
cies of the genus camelliae. Each
of these species has cultivars;
for example, Mathotiana and
Tricolor are cultivars of camellia
japonica. There is always some
thing new to learn and gardeners
want to know.

None of the lyric charm OF the
