Although it has won only one
game of six and was beaten
again last night, George WASH
ington's basketball team is be-
ginning to show long stretches
of classy play.
In fact. the Colonials appeared
better last night in losing by one
point to Washington & Lee, ga
So, in the fading seconds of the
game than they did in beating

before. They Just might be able
to hit a winning stride in the

Saturday.
Last nights game at Washing
ton-Lee High gym in Arlington
was marred by a rhubarb at the
finish. but otherwise it was a
thriller. The Colonials, with
mostly sophomores in important
positions. haven't quite jelled
into a smooth combination yet,
and the pressure told on them
at the end as the veteran Gen.
erals came from behind.

1t was Lee Marshall, a three
year W6L star and the teams
co-captain. who personally beat
CIV. wiping out the Colonials'
$3.50 lead with a minute and
one-half left. In that stretch
he sandwiched two foul shots
between a pair of field goals.
He was high man for the game
with 80 points.
1t was after Marshall's last
field goal with 20 seconds left
that the trouble came. AS his
two-pointer swished through the
nets, the Generals called time
out. CIV was down court with
a fast break and shooting for a
goal before the whistle blowing
took effect, by which time the
clock read only Is seconds left.
Referee Hagan Anderson
asked the time keeper if he had
stopped the clock after Mar
shall's field goal. and the time
keeper said he had. There was
nothing the referee could dc
about that. although notes by
sportswriters covering the game
showed difference of seven Sec
onds between the time the goal
was scored and the time the
clock was stopped.

Setback in Row

Two years ago San Francisco's
Dons came quietly out Of the
West and took college basketball
by storm. Now this seasons club,
doomed from the start. is on the
last leg Of a dreary trip through
the Midwest. facing a rebuilding
job for the future.

competition.
Western Kentucky, ranked goth

last night.
Illinois had put an official end
to the winning record Monday
with 62-33 humping, although
the Dons also had been beaten
Saturday at Chicago. That de-
feat, however, was an unofficial

K. c. Jones, also an ex-Don.
Balance Of Power
The balance of power seems to
have shifted on a conference

Iowa, Illinois and Indiana; the
Southeastern. with Kentucky and

Whether Rosewall plays or

their contempt for current

The answer is obvious
even to those unfamiliar with
business procedures: Boot
Murphy out of his job as
treasurer and cease paying
him $4,000 a year. It's a
thought which has occurred
to those running the club

stockholders meeting next

will bring it into the open.
Murphy owns a stable chunk

Transfers MAY GET
BOOT FROM AFL-C!O
SAYS GEORGE MEANY

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The posi-
bility has arisen that the AFL-CIO
may suspend one of its largest affili-
ates, the 1921, 000-member Intema-
tional Brotherhood of Transfers.
AFL-CIO President George Meany
has announced he is investigating
press reports of a working agree
ment between three divisions of the
Transfers and the International
Longshoremen's Association which
was expelled from the AFL in 1858
because of alleged gangster domina-
ton
Meany said he will take whatever
action the circumstances warrant in
accordance with the AFL-CIO consti-
tuition. Nub of the problem in addition
to the working agreements between
Teamster divisions and the lila is
a loan of 100000 made by the Team
sters to the lila following the lat
ter's expulsion from the AFL. The
pact between the two unions took eff
feet March 7.
Basis for possible suspension of
the Transfers is a provision in the
constitution which pro-
vides that no organization which has
been expelled shall "while under
such penalty, be allowed representa-
ton or recognition in the federation
. or in any national or interna-
tional union or organizing committee
affiliated with this federation, under
the penalty of the suspension of the
body violating this section"
Teamster President Dave Beck's |
position is that the agreement does
not concern the International Union
IF Teamsters but is an agreement |
strictly between three autonomous
Unions and the lila.
The constitution also states that |
,ne of the objects and principles of |
he federation is ''to protect the labor
from any and all corrupt
Influences and from the undermin-
ng efforts of Communist agencies

lied against the Teamsters because

Sheldon Will Make Second
Race For Legislature

Clarence Sheldon, Kalispell, who
in 1854 narrowly missed being elected
to the Legislature from Flathead
county, this week filed for State
Representative.
Sheldon, Flathead county farm
er, is As years old and was born and
raised in the Flathead Valley. He is
married and has two children. He is
vice president of Flathead County
Farmers Union.
Sheldon states that he favors a
more fully developed road program,
additional educational facilities, and
the fixing of a speed limit on Mon
tana highways.
He is a lifelong Democrat. In
1854 he came within less than fifty
votes of upsetting Dry Armstrong,
longtime Republican House member
from Flathead.

We have heard there is an active
grass roots movement afoot on behalf
of Willis McKeon, Malta attorney, to
put his name on the Democrat ticket
for Attorney General. McKeon ranks
high in Democratic circles for the
job he did in 1854 organizing his
county and putting them in the Dem
ocratic column at election time. He
is a past commander of the VF'W.
His name has been mentioned before
as a potential candidate, but this is
the first time there has been any
indication that Mr.. McKeon himself
looked favorably on the idea.
Forrest Anderson, Associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court, has al
ready filed on the Democratic ticket
for Attorney General.
No Republican candidate is even
fluttering in the wings at the mo-
ment, since we have heard that Don
Nutter, state senator from Richland
county, seems to have bowed out
as a potential. Nutter told me
while back he was considering" the
race, but hadn't made up his mind.
We heard yesterday he had decided
against it-but that came from
Democrat-so you take it from there.
NJtter is philosophically a good Re-
publican. He would make a good
race. He is well known in eastern
Montana and recently went to school
in Missoula. He became known state
wide for the fight he put up for
HB 388 (The Coop Tax Bill of the
1856 Legislature).
A press release received this week
from Willard Fraser says he is "sore-
ly tempted" to become candidate
for the Railroad and Public Service
Commission for a number of reasons
one of which is the fact that Billings
wouldn't find themselves in their
