Hundley Bounces Back
Hundley, atoning for miser-
able showing in the first round,
connected on 10 of his first Is
shots, piled UP 80 points by
halftime when West Virginia led
47-40, then added 10 more in
the last half to end the night
with grand total of AZ points.
This won for him his personal
duel with All-America Darrell
Floyd of Furman, who poked in
81 points for the Paladins. But
it missed by one point matching
Floyd's single game tournament
record of 43 points set against
Virginia Tech Thursday night.
West Virginia almost let last
nights game get away after
holding a prohibitive $3.50 lead
with 1888 left. Near-perfect
performances at the foul line by
Allen Kyber and Dick Wright
brought Furman up to 70-73
with 2:15 remaining. Then the
great Floyd whipped through
two of his arching jump shots
to vault Furman into a 74-73
lead with the clock showing 81
seconds.
West Virginia manipulated the
ball downcourt and, with % sec

Whiting, who tipped in a hook
that put the Mountaineers back
in the van, 75-74, at O:28.

Court Decision
Allows Santee
To Run Tonight
BoiIey Of Oregon,
NCAA Mile Champ,
Drops From Meet

NEW YORK, Mar. 3 P.-
Judge Charles D. Breitel of the
Appellate Division of the New
York State Supreme Court ruled
today that Yves Santee. Ameri-
cas- fastest miller. was eligible to
compete in tonight's knights OF
Columbus meet in Madison
Square Garden.
Santee was suspended for life
by the National AAU on Febru-
airy 10 on charges of having &C.
cepted excessive expenses.
After an hour-long closed
hearing, Santee's attorney
Charles P. Grimes, said "Santee
will run tonight"
Santee arrived in New York by
plane from Washington shortly
before the hearing began.
Attorneys for the AAU had
asked the court to set aside a
Temporary injunction blocking
the enforcement Of its lifetime
suspension of Santee.
Injunction Granted
The injunction was granted
Thursday, Santee's day in court
His Attorney Charles P. Grimes
obtained the writ from Justice
James B. M. Mentally.
A hearing is listed for March
70 before Justice Mentally to de-
termine if the preliminary in
junction should be made perma-
Inent.
Jim Bailey, the University Of
Oregon NCAA mile champion
will not compete if Santee runs
Leo Harris, athletic director OF
Oregon, said today.
Harris said Bailey had ad-
vised him of this in a telephone
conversation late last night.
Harris quoted Bailey as saying
that he had talked with Aus
tralian representatives and they
feared his Olympic chances
might be jeopardized by such a
race. Bailey is an Australian.
The other entries-included
Fred Dwyer of East Orange,
N. j.; Ron pelany of Villanova,
George King of New York Uni
Iversity and Jim Doulin of Man
haitian.
Amateurs Warned
Dan Ferris, the AAU chieftain
warned a week ago that any ath-
Iiete competing against Santee
would lose his amateur standing
injunction or not.
Most expert legal opinion was
that Santee's rivals would be on
safe ground toeing the mark
Ferris, himself, conceded thai
the AAU would comply with the
courts ruling.
"Ronnie will run if it's Ok
with the AAU," said Delany's
coach, Jumbo Jim Elliot.
IF the AAU says it's all right
and it doesn't hurt Georges
amateur standing, he'll run,
said Kings mentor, Emil Vor

IDoulin coach.
The AAU was annoyed on two
counts:
l. The fact that the knights
of Columbus kept Santee's in
vitation open after he was
suspended.
2. The fence sitting Of the
other coaches and runners.
You'd think that anyone who
feels obligated to uphold the
amateur code would not ever
consider running against Santee,
said one high official.
1t is pertinent to note that
the State courts action would
not be binding on the Interna-
tional Olympic Committee or the

Federation. Avery Brundage OF

Good design is a more impor-
tant factor in building an at
tractive garden than the extent
of capital outlay. In addition, a
simple. inexpensive arrangement
that fits the site and meets the
gardeners needs is far more eff
fective than some elaborate un-
dertaking to create the unusual.
The garden corner described
today is an example. This plant
ing consists of nine shrubs. two
evergreens, a few flowers and a
clump of white birch.
Shrubs and evergreens along
the property lines provide back
ground and privacy, and two
groups of flowers frame a garden
bench placed under the protec-
tive shade of the birch cluster.
This is about as elemental an
arrangement as could be imag-
ined. and yet it creates most
inviting picture. Plant materials
specified are neither expensive
nor difficult to grow. but serve
the purpose as satisfactorily as
more unusual specimens because
design, not rare paintings, is the
fundamental reason for beauty
in the composition.
Use Birch With Restraint
The white birch is universal
favorite and it certainly warrants
its popularity. Like all outstand-
ing plants, however. it should be
used with restraint if its unusual
qualities are to be emphasized
; A single specimen or clump dis
played against green background
is a striking sight, but if re-
peated several times in small
area it loses it's effectiveness.
! Birch borers are a serious pest
in some localities, but the tree is
most beautiful while young ans
vigorous. and at that time it
largely overcomes the damage it.

DON'T-cut sandpaper with a
knife or scissors unless you want
to dull the cutting edges; tear

DON'T-attempt to clea n

Prendergust
Would Tax
U. S. Property

William B. Prendergast. cam
didate for the Republican con-

lands 5th district, proposed YES
terday that local communities be
permitted to levy a property tax
on big Federal installations.
Federal property is now exempt
from local taxation.
Stating that there is an "ur-
gent need" for development of a
consistent and logical system of
Federal aid to communities
where the Federal Government
has installations. Mr. Prender-
CAST said 1.-The National Govern
ment as a taxpayer should not
enjoy more favorable treatment
than private taxpayers.
He warned. however, that a
tax on Federal property would
have to be carefully administered
or some communities would be
taking Uncle Sam for a ride"
He suggested that the local
property tax be applied when
ever the Federal property in the
community exceeded some fixed
percentage-5 to 10 per cent-of
the total real property. That
would limit the tax levy to local
jurisdictions in which there was
an abnormal concentration of
Federal property."
