1t was strictly a case of the
rich getting richer and the
poor getting poorer in the Ma
tional Basketball Association
last night.
The Los Angeles Lakers and
st. Louis Hawks, the top two
teams in the Western Division,
knocked off Detroit and Chi
cago, the bottom two teams,
thus widening the gap between
the top and the bottom.
st. Louis dropped Chicago,
l07-100, while Los Angeles
came from behind to beat De-
troit, l35-l30, and maintain its
three-game margin over the
Hawks.
Jerry West, playing despite a
touch of the flu and a tenn
perature of l02, came off the
Los Angeles bench in the sec
ond half, rallied the Lakers
from an 18-point deficit and
led them past Detroit.
West scored % points, IT of
them in the final period.
The Lakers took the lead to
stay on a rare five-point play
"a three-pointer by West plus
two technicals with a minute
and IL seconds to go. 1t was
their first lead.

suddenly find that your neigh
Dor, whom you have invited in,
knows more about Bear Bryant
and Alabama than you do, or
if he points out that the Big
Ten has won 13 of the Is Rose
Bowl meetings with the Pacific
Coast, 1t is not necessary for
you to squirm uncomfortably
and grin and bear 1t.
TV gamesmanship requires
an adroit change in topics, with
a bit of one-upsmanship. 1t is
necessary to know 1ittle-knowr
facts about well-known Incl
dents or people. For a starter
take Wisconsin's Ron Wander.
Kelen, who'll be quarterbacklns
the Badgers against Southern
California.
VanderKelen is the only play
er on the Wisconsin squac
making a return Rose Bow
visit. He was a reserve quar-
terback on the 1869 Wisconsin
team which was whipped by
Washington, 44-8. He is still
eligible. only through happen
stance.
In the summer Of 1860, fol-
lowing his sophomore year,
VanderKelen injured a knee
while working as a hodcarrier
The injury prevented Wander
Kelen from playing that fall,
so his eligibility was extended
a year. Had chance not inter-
vened, VanderKelen would have
finished his collegiate career a
year ago as an understudy to
Ron Miller. And Wisconsin
might not have made 1t back,
II this bit of knowledge
hasn't dazzled your neighbor
enough, you may practice addi-
tional one-upsmanship by re-
ferring to the Rose Bowls most
famous incident.
Remember Roy Riegels' ia
nous wrongway run for Cali

didn't even score"
Riegels' wrongway run mere
ly set up a punting situation
from deep in California terri
tory. after he had been tackled
by one Of his own teammates.
Georgia Tech blocked the kick,
got a safety, and that was the
decisive factor in an 81 game
For a clincher, you may re-
fer to the top bowl team of
them all, good old Hardin-Sim-
mons. Yes, Hardin-Simmons.
In l948, the Cowboys left
their home range In Abilene.
Texas. and played in three post
season bowl games-the Grape
Bowl. Camellia Bowl and the

knowledge OF what is called
TV-gamesmanship, which will
be explained here.
There is obviously more to
watching football games on TV
than meets the eye. TV-games-
manship on New Years Day
requires two quick lessons:
(A) - How to Get Permis-
sion to Watch from the Wife.
(B) - How to Fool the

years, you have 1t now. Leon
ard Grimm, an optician in
Alexandria, was asked to set
up some handy rules for the
long vigil in front of the TV
set. 1t is not necessary to
memorize these, only to men,

The most important thing,
Grimm says, is not to sit too
close to the set. He also says
there should be some light in

Jones Sparks
Mackin Into
Carroll Final
BY JIM CAWOOD
Contributing Writer

Lawrence Jones isn't very big,
but he seems to be just what
Mackin High Schools basket
ball team needs.
With Jones playing an excel
lent floor game and distribut-
ing his 10 points at vital stages,
the Trojans recorded their most
Impressive victory Of the sea-
son last night, a 55-43 triumph
over DeMatha In the semifinals
of the Carroll tournament be-
fore a crowd of 1,1OO.
In the other semifinal game,
host Carroll pulled away in the
last quarter to record a 1855
triumph over a scrappy st. An
thongs team as Sam Harris
scored "a points. Carroll will
meet Mackin in the finals to-
night at 7:45, with Mackin O
heavy favorite.
Gonzaga fell to Mount st.
Joseph Of Baltimore, 50-44, in
the first consolation game, and
Hoffman-Boston tripped Ana
costa, 60-46, in the second.
Mount st. Joseph and Hoff-
man-Boston play for fifth
place at 4:45, followed by the
third-place game between st.
Anthony's and DeMatha at
6:l5.
Tireless Ballhawk
Jones did not start the first
four games of the season, but
he entered the Trojan lineup
in the O'Connell loss, and ap-
pears destined to remain there
the rest of the season. The s.
foot-8 sophomore, who weighs
only l35 pounds, is a hustler
and a tireleSs ballhawk.
Even If he doesn't score q
point. the team is 20 per cent
better with Jones in there"
Mackin Coach Paul Furlong
said.
DeMatha pulled ahead, 30
"a, in the third quarter, but
Mackin caught up on the
shooting Of Jones and Jimmy
Shaw. When the Stays Jim
Mcbride fouled out with 6:55
to play and Brendon Mccarthy
followed SO seconds later, the
Trojans outscored DeMatha,
1912, in the final quarter.
Butler Top Scorer
4 Bill Butler, who was guarded
by Mcbride until the latter
fouled out, scored II of his II
points in the last quarter to
lead all scorers, and Shaw add
ed IL for the Trojans. Jim COL
liflower paced the Stays with
l3 points, followed by McBride's
IL, all on free throws. 1t was
DeMatha's second loss in 10
games, and its first to a high
school team.
In the opening semifinal
contest, Carroll led by only one
point, 48-47, early in the last
: period but scored 10 straight
points to pull away from its
smaller opponents. The TONES
could not overcome the loss on
fouls Of their high scorer, Mike
O'Brien, late in the third quar-
ter. ,
Harris, the Lions 6-foot-5
center, had the best night of
his career, scoring at least six
points in every period. Al
though Harris averaged Is
points a game as a sophomore
last season, 1t was only the
second time he has made over
20 points a game,

The car facsimile and the
manner of its presentation,
which drew many laughs, was
part of a farewell sendoff
given in honor of Gen. and
Mrs. Wheeler last night.
Hosts for the party at the
Army Navy Country Club
were officers Of the Organi-
cation Of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff. Of which Gen. Wheeler
has been director.
Double Observance
The reception which drew
more than 500 officers and
their wives to say farewell to
the Wheelers and welcome
his successor, Vice Admiral
Herbert Riley, featured a pro-
gram cleverly concocted and
in a light vein with much
inter-service kidding.
Before presenting the "car"
to the Wheelers master of
ceremonies Maj. Gen. Fred
Dean read a long Pentagon-
style memo which went
something like this:
"One: in view of the
Wheelers' eminent departure
to the Continent it has been
suggested that a Lincoln
Continental be given to them
for better perambulation Of
the Continent. Two: How
ever (long pause and
much laughter), four Of the
services have su mitted
memoranda reminding us of
the prohibition against gifts
of intrinsic value. In view of
the foregoing, this facsimile
of said Lincoln Continental,
donated by a nameless char
liable organization, is pre-
sented to Gen. and Mrs.
Wheeler as a memory of what
might have BEEN"
In like vein, Gen. Wheeler
