BLACK-WHITE COLOR SCHEME
DUE FOR SECTION OF BELTWAY

The 22mie section of the Capital beltway in Virginia
will have bultn color scheme-but it wasn't planned
with that In mind.
The portion between Telegraph road and the
woodrow Wilson Bridge in Alexandria about two miles
long, is being back-topped while the remainder is
receiving the white concrete treatment
The reason for the difference is very bad soil
condition in the two-mile portion, according to H. A.
Lndberg chief Of the Contract Administrative Branch of
the Federal Bureau of Public Roads.
THAT part is not too stable" he said. Unlike concrete
btuminous asphalt pavement be easily leveled by
adding few more inches of asphalt later.
the weather permits, the final six-mle section
OF the betway between Shirley highway and the bridge
may be opened to traffic in December.

BY STEVE GUBACK
Star staff Writer

Norman Neverson, an out
standing Negro end from
Roosevelt High, said today
that both George Washington
and the University Of Maryland
have offered him athletic
grants -in-aid.
II Neverson accepts at either
school, and meets further aca-
demic requirements, he would
be the first Negro actively re-
cruited by either the Colonials
or Terps.
Daryl Hill. a Negro. is ex-
pected to play on Maryland's
varsity next season. but he is
a transfer from the Naval
Academy and was not actively
recruited. Rocky Wright, an
other Negro. is playing fresh
man basketball at CIV, but he
does not have an athletic
grant-in-aid.
Exceptional Prospect
Neverson, a unanimous ALL
Interhigh first-team. choice, is
regarded as an exceptional
prospect from both the athletic
and academic standpoints.
Only two days ago he was
one OF five area high school
seniors presented with a plaque
from the Washington chapter
of the National Football Foun-
dation and Hall Of Fame for
outstanding athletic ability,
scholarship and citizenship.
Neverson said that he prob
ably will not decide until a
little before Easter which
school he will attend. He said
he also Is interested in Ohio

II know it's a very good school,
but actually it doesn't make a

whether I stay in this area or
go elsewhere.
Exams Scheduled
Neverson was scheduled to
take test at George Washing
ton this afternoon. He plans to
take the exams Of the American
College Testing Program, which
are required for admission at
Maryland on February %. He
also said he had talked with
representatives from Ohio State
and plans a visit to the Buck
eye campus shortly.
When named to the ALL
Interhigh team, the 6-foot-2,
l90-pound senior drew praise
from his coach, joey Kaufman,
for his defensive ability. How
ever, Neverson caught several
passes for long gains against
Eastern in the Interhigh title
game. He also was named to
the second team Of the all-Met
squad. and is regarded as an
exceptional punter.

ARNOLD (RED) AUERBACH of the
Boston Celtics, most successful professional
court coach in the country, tasted the
bitter dregs of failure during the days of
the old Washington Capitols in the late
1s40s. They were good but they folded for
lack Of box-office support.
Yet Auerbach stubbornly contends that
big league basketball might go over in
Washington. II don't know about the
college game" he said, "but If two things
were to happen in the city I'd have to give
a new pro venture a good chance.
First, Washington needs the big,
modern arena. It's got to be well located,
with plenty of parking. Secondly, feel
the press and public must accept basket
ball as the equal Of baseball and football.
Both are important" says the builder
of the fabulous Celtics who have won five
world championships in the last six years
and are aiming for another title. "I don't
think that one by itself would be enough"
AUERBACH is NOT TILTINd with the
D. C. press. He is not even openly critical.
THE philosophy of the papers is a bit
different from that noticed In New York,
Boston and other cities" Red merely points
out.
Sports reporters and editors In Wash
ington seem TO show little desire to under
stand and appreciate basketball. or course,
It's been long time since the Caps. Put
a National Basketball Association team in
town and 1t might be different now.
"The Caps were operating under two
disadvantages. First, we we're playing In
Uline Arena (now Washington Coliseum
and that isn't the Boston Garden or
Madison Square Garden by long shot
Secondly, press and public had us con-
fused for time with Chris Heurichs old
Heurich Brewers, who weren't really
professional"
RED WAS NOT BAsING his optimism
on the big turnout last week for a regu-
lation NBA game between his Celtics and
the Cincinnati Royals at the University Of
Maryland That was a one-shot DEAL"
he reminded. I'm talking OF the long
haul in Washington.
"In the game at Maryland people we're
getting a rare look at the best in the
business. II was the final appearance in
this area for Bob cousy, who has been the
greatest. They came 10 see Bill Russell
Of our club, and Oscar Robertson and Jack
Twyman Of the Royals.
FINALLY, II was promoted by the
Maryland M Club. That didn't hurt the
ticket sale"

year he hit 1886 in ia games
with Columbus Of the Interna-
tional League before the Pirates
brought him up. In % games
with them in 1861. Leppert
batted .267. He tagged Curt
Simmons for a home run his
first time up in the majors.
"Ill tell you the kind Of guy
he is" Selkirk said. He was
hitting about .270 this winter
In the Puerto Rican League
when they made him manager
So with the added responsible
ties he wound UP hitting about
800"
Leppert's baseball career was
delayed by four years in the
Air Force during and after the
Korean war.
Injuries Hidden
King is 30 years old and ex-
tremely injury-prone. but he
has experience and is the Sem
ators' only lefthanded hitting
outfielder except for Barry
Shetrone.
1t was King who prevented
Chuck Hinton from topping the
club in every offensive depart
ment last year. King led in
walks with IS to Hinton's AZ,
although King was in 10 fewer
games.
Jim played with an assort-
ment Of injuries in the last few
weeks Of the season. several OF
which he attempted to hide
from Manager Mickey Vernon.
He batted .243 with 81 hits in
333 times at bat. He hit IL
home runs for the Senators in
each Of the last two years.

Debts Must he Paid

cipal concern Is getting the
people paid that the team owes
debts. That has 10 be done
first"
Wismer was a leading radio
and television sports announcer
before going into professional
football ownership when the
AFL was formed In 1859. He
contends the Titans have lost
81 $4,000 In the last three
seasons.

Mr.. Heurich deserved a lot of credit in

he said.
IN HIS FIRST ATTEMPT, which fol-
lowed by some years George Marshall's
failure in the old American Basketball
League, Heurich built a compact, SOO-seat
gymnasium within his brewery shortly be-
fore World War II. Later he beefed up his
squad, raising the standard Of play, and
moved the club into the larger Riverside
Stadium
On one special occasion the brewing
heir pitted his team against the Jersey
Reds, top ABL club at the time, and offered
free admission. The spectator was asked
only to donate to the Infantile Paralysis
Fund. Only l,4OO people showed up. The
total donation amounted to approximately
$500.
'The Caps brought to Uline Arena
were no kin to the Brewers" Auerbach
repeated. I'VE carried 10 players and had
a payroll Of perhaps $4,000, which was
pretty good in those days."
But even that burden was too much
in the small arena built by the late Miguel
Uline. After Auerbach left to seek greener
fields the Caps tried to carry on with Bob
Feerick and Bones Mckinney as successive
coaches. Finally they expired in January,
1851.
RECENTLY IN A LUNCHEON talk,
when the one-time George Washington
University player was honored by both the
M and Touchdown Clubs, Red declared
that 1t was necessary for the Celtics 10
draw between 5000 and 1900 cash Gus
toners per game 10 stay in the black.
I'VE do IT," he said, because for some
years we've been the best, like the Yankees
in baseball We have 10 draw that many
because the celtics' payroll runs about
100000. All Of our players are In the
five-figure bracket and Cousy and Russell
earn darn near $4,000 each"
Would Washington support the game
as Boston does7
'You wouldn't have 10 draw so much
for WHILE" Red replied, because a pay
roll doesn't reach 100000 until the players
have put in some very good years and won
few titles.
I'D have 70 repeat that II the city had
a new, nicely located arena and a sympa-
