Puddy's Honeymoon Ends
Too Soon to Suit AUCaqers
BY DICK STAY
Star Staff Writer

If Puddy Sheehan had let 1t
be known around American
University that he was getting
married last Saturday, some
body might have helped him
finance an extended honey
moon = anything to keep him
out of the Quantico Marines
lineup last night. So
During his basketball career
at Georgetown, Sheehan was
on the losing side two out of
three years against American
u, but last night he evened
that score as the Marines put
a 1872 blight on the AU
homecoming week end that
even Woody Herman's band
may not erase at tonight's big
dance.
Puddy returned from his
wedding trip to Williamsburg
well In time to play in the
season opener for both teams,
but Mai. Ira Norfolk, Guam
tico's new coach, admits he al
most didn't use him.
Il wasn't going to play him;
he hadn't touched a basket
ball since a week ago Wednes-
day." Norfolk said afterward.
The overflow crowd of some
1900 in AUS gym would find
that hard to believe.
Quantico ran up a 1912 lead
but Sheehan was benched in
favor of a reserve and the Ma
rines cooled off. The Eagles
went in front, 1915, on a hook
shot by Jim Shickora and
stayed ahead until Jim Null
lens basket gave Quantico a
ITO advantage with 1:24 re-
naming.
The Leathernecks regained
possession with SO seconds left
and Sheehan and Mullen, the
two backcourt pests, played
keepaway until Puddy sank a
pair of foul shots with 10 Sec
onds to go, sealing the verdict.
Sheehan and Mullen, the lat
ter from Belmont Abbey, scored
Is and II points, respectively,
to lead the Quantico assault
both getting IL points In the
second half and also triggered
the full-court press which I'M
settled the Eagles in the final
Is minutes.
AUS AL billiard, the top re-
bounder with 81 recoveries, was
missed the first seven minutes
of those final Is. He sat down
with four personal fouls when
AU had its biggest lead, ABS.
When he returned to the floor
1t was 60-56, and the Marines
had found the range.

Nets Trade Pitcher
For Two Dodgers

NEW YORK, Dec. / (AP).-
The New York Nets traded
right-handed Pitcher Bob Mil
Ter to the Los Angeles Dodgers
today for Second Baseman
Larry Burright and First Base
man Tim Hardness. The deal
was made at the baseball meet
ings here.
In a separate transaction, the
Nets purchased right-handed
Pitcher Howard Reed from the
Dodgers. Reed, who has a 1875
record and a 3.l6 earned run
average for last-place Spokane
Of the Pacific Coast League last
season, was assigned to the
Nets Buffalo farm club in the
International League.
The trades we're the 18th and
18th of the week concluded at
the baseball meetings in New
York and earlier in the week
at Rochester, N. Y.
Miller, %, had a 1-12 record
for the Nets last season. win
ming his only game on the next
to the last day Of the season by
beating the Chicago Cubs. He
appeared in 80 games-com-
pleted one--and wound up with
a 4.88 earned run average.
Miller Came in Draft
Miller was obtained by the
Nets in the October, 1861, ex-
pansion draft from st. Louis
for $125.000.
Burright, a right-handed hit
ter, and Hardness, a left
handler, both are rs. Burright
started the season at second
base for the Dodgers. but lost
the job because Of weak hit
ting. He finished with a .205
average in lis games. Nets
President George Weiss said
Burright probably will get a
thorough test at shortstop, a
position he played in the past.
Hardness appeared in 80
games for Los Angeles. mostly
as a late-inning defensive re-
placement. He hit 1853. The
Nets have two other first base
men on the roster, Gil Hodges
and Marv Throneberry. Weiss
said, however. that Hardness
will get a shot at the job.
At the meeting yesterday
a proposal for an inter-league
trading period in mid-June
was rejected and action taken
to speed up the game.
Warren Giles, president of
the National League since 1861,
was reelected for his fourth
four-year etrm. No details on
salary were announced. He re-
ceived $4,000 a year under the
old contract.
Both majors rejected the
suggestion by Ed Short, gen.
eral manager of the White Sox
that the league have a three
day inter-league trading pc
Rod June 1915 each year
Inter-league trading now is
permitted only from November
81 to December is and that
was regarded a daring prece-
dent-shattering move when il
first was legalized two years
ago.
