BY DICK sLAY

The Washington-Lee Invita-
tional basketball tournament has
a days rest in which to pick up
the pieces from the shambles of
flrst-round games - and the
pickings aren't bad at all.
Victories by st. Johns and
Wakefield last night in the
second double header Of the
tournament resulted in two Cath
Ollie League powers squaring of
against the two Arlington teams
in the semifinal round tomorrow
night.
Gonzaga and Washington-Lee
survived Mondays openers and
will meet in the second game
tomorrow after st. Johns plays
Wakefield at 7 o'clock.
It is the reverse of the original
seminal schedule, which called
for WI and Gonzaga to meet
in the first game. The shift was
made yesterday in order to give
the best attraction the feature
spot on the program. The Gen.
erals VS.. the Eagles rates as the
most important interleague
clash Of the season.
But the st. Johns Wakefield
game is no ordinary preliminary.
The Johnnies last night staged
the most dazzling show of the
tournament-with the possible
exception of W-L-in crushing
Fairfax High. 107-52, before
Wakefield squeezed by DeMatha,
6l-55, in the closest contest
so far.
New st. Johns Record
The lot total set a new school
record for st. Johns, shading
its previous high of LOG against
its Alumni during the Christmas
holidays. and Coach Robbie Rob-
inson Of Wakefield was properly
impressed. He thinks his War
riors have a chance. but they'll
have to be better than last
night. We'll have to stop the
fast break. anyone can see that. "
he said.
Wakefield, a young team which
also is one of the more improved
in the area, didn't stop De-
Matthias fast break until the Sec
ond half and then it needed all
its new-found poise to turn back
the Hyattsville team.
DeMatha hadn't practiced fol
three days because it didn't ex-
pect an 11th-hour bid to the
tournament to replace George
Washington, which had with
drawn Monday. And last night
the Stays weren't prepared tc
deliver the fast finish they
needed.
DeMatha had a three-point
lead with three minutes to &C
and didn't score another point
missing three one and one
chances at the foul line. Wake
field, however, clicked on six Of
seven free-throw attempts, the
