Hoyos Meet Seton Hall
Today in Season Finale

Georgetown closes out its
basketball season in Nc
Donough Gym at 2 o'clock to-
day when 1t meets Seton Hall
in a game that might lose
much Of its appeal If Nick
Workman can't play.
Workman, the leading scorer
in college basketball with a
30.6 scoring average, has been
nursing an injured right arch
for several weeks. He sprained
his ankle against Providence
last Saturday. The ankle in
jury caused him to miss his
first varsity start after 43
straight when Seton Hall upset
st. Francis Of Brooklyn, 71-60,
Wednesday.
With Workman in doubt, the
game might not turn into the
shooting contest 1t looked like
at first. In Jim Barry the
Hoyas have one Of the Ma
tons top scorers with a 23.2
average on $40 points in Is
games.
And every time Barry scores
he sets a new school record.
His total is the highest ever
for one season and his average
is the best on the Georgetown
record book. Every time he gets
a point he pushes them both up,
The 6-foot-3 Workman has
scored 581 points in 10 games
to build his sos average, which
is lower than his 1871 Of last
season when he was ranked
third.
Georgetown is working on a
1912 season, but that doesn't
tell the true story of the
Hoyas. They dropped seven OF
their first nine games, but
bounced back to win IL of Their
next 16. A victory today woulc

straight winning season.

Price is co-producer and
script writer for the weekly
Wonderful World of Golf show.
which probably is the most
popular Of the televised golf
series.
He said there was some talk
among people connected with
the show about holding one Of
the matches at Congressional,
but the fact that Pine Valley
was included last season killed
the idea.
Wonderful World Of Golf gets
around more than Kilroy. 1t
films matches in such places as
Scotland, Jamaica, the Philip
pines, Canada. Sweden, New
Zealand, Ireland and Chile.
The producers wanted to keep
the show moving around and
since an Eastern course was
featured last year, they wanted
a Western course this time.
So instead Of Congressional,
they chose Pebble Beach. And
in case you've forgotten last
week, that was the match be-
tween Jack Nicklaus and Sam
ySnead, probably the most ex-
citing the show has come up
with in two years.
: It would have been nice to
have Snead and Nicklaus play
their match here so that any
body who had the time could
have seen it live. But don't
feel too badly. No one person
swould have seen much of 1t.
Price said the average match
stakes two days to film. And
from some other things he said
1t sounds as If it could take
almost that long to play nine
sholes.
I When Doug Sanders played
.Arne Werkell in Sweden, San
sders teed off on the fifth hole
and got to the eighth tee %
hours later. That's some kind
of slow play.

account for some Of the high
scores"

Seal Takes a Plunge Over Niagara Falls

YOUNGSTOWN, NY. R A 100-pound seal, spotted Saturday swimming in the Niagara River, is believed to have survived plunge over Niagara Falls and a trip through the savage whirlpool and rapids below.
 A seal named Jeff escaped Friday from Marine Wonderland at Niagara Falls, Ont, near the 176-foot high Horseshoe Falls.
 One of his owners, Ivan Petric, said Jeff apparently had gone for swim in the upper river.
 He must have been swept over the falls and down the river," Petric said.
 B. L. Fairbank of Youngstown spotted a seal swimming in the river here, about fl miles below the falls and at the mouth of Lake Ontario.
 He looked frisky and happy, Fairbank said. "He seemed to be himself"

Castro's Regime Has NatiOnalized International Laboratories

KEY WEST, Fla. R - Prime Minister Fidel Castro's regime has nationalized the Merck, Sharp and Dohme International Laboratories in Cuba, Havana radio said.
 The broadcast, monitored in Key West, said all property of the American company was taken over Friday by Cuban government de- cree "in the public and national interest"
 The broadcast did not mention any kind of compensation for the takeover. It said the Ministry of Industries will operate the plant.
 Merck, Sharp and Dohme is a major producer of medicines and Cuba is short of medicines. Castro specified he was to receive S53 million worth of ransom in drugs for the men he captured in the Bay of Pigs invasion of 1861.

Khrushchev Accepts Invite to Visit Cuba

MOSCOW R - Premier Khrush- chev Saturday accepted an invita- tion to visit Cuba and renewed his threats to unleash Soviet nu- clear power to defend the Carib- bean island against invasion.
 Both pledges came in a joint con,-'unique at the end of the public phase of the newly month long red carpet reception for Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro.
 Western diplomats said the visit pulled the Soviet Premier out of political hole.
 Castro and Khrushchev arrived at Khrushchev's holiday retreat on the Black Sea coast Friday for a rest.
 The communique, issued by the Soviet news agency Tass, said Khrushchev accepted with grati- tude' Castro's invitation to visit "the first socialist state in Amer ica." No date was mentioned.
 Turning to the defense of Cuba, the communique added:
 ''In the clouds of talks between comrades Khrushchev and Castro 1t was confirmed by the Soviet side that If an attack was made on Cuba in violation of the commitments undertaken by the United States President not to invade Cuba, the Soviet Union will fulfill its inter national duty to the fraternal Cuban people and will render it the necessary aid for the defense of the freedom and independence of the Cuban Republic with all the means at it's disposal.
 "The organizers of aggression should remember that an invasion of Cuba will place mankind before a devastating missile war;
 A State Department spokesman in Washington challenged the com munique's reference to a commit ment by President Kennedy not to invade Cuba. He said the mo- invasion pledge was offered ''for something the Russians never de- livered - that is, on-site inspec- ton in Cuba" to verify the re- moval of Soviet offensive weap- ons."
 The communique's hard lang uage and heavy stress on Soviet pledges to aid Cuba against any attack appeared designed to soothe the still-ruffled feelings of Castro at the withdrawal of Soviet mis- siles last fall.

 Earlier in the proceedings, Paul Green. leader of the Nome dancers, told the crowd that he had known the dance leader of Minto They had met while both were patients in Anchorage hospital in 1853 and had become fast friends The re- union was moving one when the two men got on the stage and shook hands vigorously. This touched off a new enthusiasm and the Eskimo dancers joined the Indians in a riotous dance around the room
 Later, the Indians reciprocated by learning to do the Eskimo dance.
 It was refreshing to see Minto children and teenagers join in the performance of their elders The Indians had their colorful dance costumes and the Eskimos had on their full native regalia. The spec tacle was che of the most unusual ever seen anywhere in Alaska. It was demonstration of friendli- ness and good fellowship.
