Fast-Closing Saxony Two Lengths Behind; Why Not Now Thiid

•y »h« AxociaUd Pratt

MIAMI, Feb. 16.—Pilaster, owned by Mrs. Henry L. Straus, led 10 other younger horses home today to win the $15,000 Miami Beach Handicap on the grass at Hialeah.

Pilaster, at eight, the oldest horse in the race ran the mile and a half on the turf in 2:30.1 over

a fast track and won by two lengths over Woolford Farm’s fast-closing Saxony.

C. B. Bohn’s Why Not Now was

third, 2% lengths back of Saxony and half a length in front of Palatine Stable’s Chicle n, in the field of 11 three-year-olds and upwards.

Chicle II Holds Record. Chicle n set the track record

for the distance two years ago at 2:29 flat, but he was no match for Pilaster today.

The eight-year-old Pilaster was tenth at the start but moved up rapidly, passing one horse after another as they rounded the club house turn. He took over the lead midway the stretch and by the time they reached the far elbow he was three lengths in front.

Saxony, ninth at the start, moved up to seventh, along the baekstretch, and then made his bid as they rounded into the final' drive for home. However, he could not catch the smooth run- ning Pilaster. Why Not Now and Chicle n closed ground, but neither could overtake the old fellow under the clever handling of Jockey Nick Shuk.

Pilaster, carrying 115 pounds— two less than he will carry in the Widener—went postward the favorite and paid $6.50, $4.20 and $3.30 in the $2 mutuels. Saxony returned $6.20 and $4.40 and Why Not Now paid $4.70 to show.

Horse Took the Lead. "The horse went to the lead

himself,” said Shuk. “You can’t hustle him. He started to loaf a little at the three-sixteenths pole and I had to hit him a little, but he was all right.”

Jockey Conn McCreary, riding Saxony, said he had “a smooth trip but we Just couldn’t catch him.”

Why Not Now was making his first appearance on the grass and Jockey Sam Boulmetis said he had “no excuses.”

Prank Bonsai, Pilaster’s trainer, said he hadn’t intended to enter the horse in the $50,000 Widener, but “it looks like we will have to run him now. Off his race today, he deserves the chance.”

Pilaster earned $13,350 today to add to the $49,750 he won last y«r.

Rupp Sues Magazine On Basketball Article

•y Hw Associated Pros*

LEXINGTON, Ky., Feb. 18 —

Coach Adolph Rupp of Kentucky’s championship basketball team today filed a $250,000 libel suit against the publisher of Look Magazine.

The suit was filed in Federal Court against Cowles Magazines, publisher of Look. It asked $100,- 000 damages for alleged injury to Rupp's reputation as a “coach and successful businessman.” It de- manded $150,000 as punitive dam- ages on the claim that Look failed to publish a retraction as re- quested by Rupp.

The suit said the libel action was based on an article appearing in the January 29 issue written by Tim Cohane, Look sports edi- tor. The petition charged three sections of the article were “false, libelous and defamatory.”

Navy's Attack Folds In Third Quarter, Penn Wins by 70-65

ly Ito Associated Pros*

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10. —

Pennsylvania overcame a nine- point deficit midway in the third period to defeat Navy, 70-65, in the second gafne of a double-1 header in the Palestra tonight. Villanova upset Louisville, 86-84, in the opener. x

A crowd of 4,463 saw the Quak- ers take their 15th win in 21 games, and the Middies drop their seventh in 20.

Penn started strong and had a 10-1 spread with only 4 minutes gone, but by the end of the first period Navy cut it to 19-17. They then battled on even terms until the Middies ran off seven straight tallies and led at the half, 39-32.

Trailing 40-49 with 4 minutes of the third period gone, Heylmun led a surge that put Penn on top to stay at 52-49 with a minute to go in the period.

There were 13 lead changes-and 12 ties in the free-fouling battle as Villanova avenged a 90-68 set- back handed it by the Cardinals in Louisville six weeks ago.

Bob Lochmueller, 6-5 Louisville forward, led the scorers with 30 points, and Villanova’s Larry Hennessey had 24 and Ben Stew- art 23. Navy Q. F. P. Penn. O. F. P Hogtn.f_X 13 Heylmun.f_.10 2 2:

Santa Anita (Continued from Page B-l.)

Santa Susana Stakes for fillies, was won by Season’s Best, with Hadassah second and Your Hos- tess third.

The Calumet Farms elected not to enter its star filly. A Gleam. She would have been the favorite in the mile and one-sixteenth race.

Jockey Andre Kolonics brought Season’s Best up from behind entering the stretch, and took her safely in front of Mrs: E. D. Jacobs’ Hadassah. William Goetz’ Your Hostess, after a page-setting duel with Toubolady, ran third.

The time was 1:45%. Season’s Best paid $9.10, $6.40

and $2.50; Hadassah, $16.30 and $3.60; Your Hostess $2.10.

Jockey Eddie Arearo took charge of Bryan G. in the San Antonio and broke him on top. Phil D. took up the chase, with Be Fleet and Moonrush trying to keep up the pace.

Arearo, seeking his 10th stakes win at Santa Anita, kept Bryan G. in front, and Intent stayed hack, awaiting a proper time to move up. When Bryan G. began to fa<Je, Phil D. took charge and then Intent, ridden by Jackie Westrope, began to move, and so did Bed O’ Roses.

The Vanderbilt mare and In- tent were just a little too late. They couldn’t quite catch the W. C. Martin four-year-old.

There were 46,000 fans on hand, and Phil D., the so-called, poor man’s friend, got a big ovation when he stepped into the winner’s circle. His owner, a Texas cattle- man, collected $17,450 net from a gross purse of $29,800.

Phil D. carried 117 pounds, Bry- an G. 124, Bed O’ Roses 120 and Intent 118.

There was no immediate ex- planation for Hill Prince’s with- drawal.

Earlier in the week the stable had intimated he might not race in today’s feature. Turf experts had noted that the 132 pounds handed Hill Prince was the heavi- est of his career and he also would run the risk of injury. But yes- terday he was formally entered.

They had to rewrite the record books alter Phelps overwhelmed Cardoso yesterday, 110-42, at Uline Arena in a city aeries game. With Armstrong defeating Dun- bar, 62-40, in the other half of the twin bill Phelps and Arm- strong are dead-locked for the lead with 3-1 records in the series.

Babbit Baylor was the big gun for the Tradesmen with a record- breaking 44 point output. The old record was a 31 point total established in 194? by Oreeky Watson of Armstrong. Baylor outscored the entire Cardoso team and caged 25 of the 28 points his team scored in the second period.

Phelps’ 110 point total also broke the old record of 76 set by Arm- strong. also in 1947.

Bogart Gains Title Round In Sanford Golf Tonrney

■y tfw Associated Press

SANFORD, Ha.. Feb. 16.—Ralph Bogart of Washington, D. C., took a close match from Bud Schleter, Pensacola Navy flier today to move into the finals of the Mayfair Inn and Seminole County Country Club Invitation Golf Tournament.

Bogart, who took the last hole to win, 2-up, will meet Don Bisp- llnghoff, 17-year-old Orlando High School senior, in a 36-hole final round tomorrow for the title.

Bisplinghofl beat another high school senior, George Herndon, Sanford, 4 and 3, in today’s semi- finals.

Bob Chandler. Landover, Md., will meet Clarence Phillips. San- ford, in the championship conso- lation flight final. Chandler today won 2-up, over A1 Bryant. Or- lando, and Phillips defeated Sonny Powell, Sanford. 4 and 2.

Ben Hartig of Bethesda, Md., moved into first flight finals with a 5-and-4 victory over Roy Symes, Sanford. Hartig will play Eddie Bean of Landover, Md.. who edged Jimmy Fox, Sanford, 2 and 1.

victories, wmcnever came flrst,’’ Doran says.

And the Residents can present Doran his 500th victory in this, his 24th season. of coaching. Doran-coached basketball■ teams —11 at Staunton Military Acad- emy and 13 at GW—have won 489 games against 119 losses. QW has five games left oh its schedule, toehiding a play-*# for the North- ern ̂ Virginia group I title with Washington-Lee, before piayiwg in The Star Metropolitan tourna- ment March 3, 4, 6 and 7 at Ritchie Coliseum and the State Tournament, March 13, 14 and 15 at Roanoke. By sweeping all live games and both tournaments— three games in each—Doran will have hls500 wins and next season will coniine his activities to that of director of athletics.

Height an Advantage. And Doran’s team could very

well win all of them. Tech probably will have much to say about that in The Star Tourna- ment, but Doran has the one thing that could trouble the Train- ers, undefeated in their last 32 games. He has height. In fact, Doran can play five men 6-2 or better in the celebrated Bob Kes- sler, 6-4; Crenshaw Hardy, 6-5; Lester McMenamin, 6-3, and his two top reserves, George (Butch) Darley, and Billy Morton, 6-2.

Darley, a freshman much ad- vanced in basketball skill, and Morton, a junior, are Doran’s “trouble-shooter,” all-around play- ers who fit where needed. The combination of Kessler, Hardy, McMenanim, Chuck Mottley and John Oliver is considered thel starting five, but Darley and Mor-j ton give Doran supporting strength that many teams lack.

“Both can step in there any- where,” Rasty says. “Each can play any position. They can bring the ball down court or play Un- derneath the basket.”

QW has lost four games, in- cluding Friday night’s disputed one-pointer to Washington-Lee. The other three losses were to Glass at Lynchburg by one point, to Wilson when Kessler was in

“As for Tech," Doran says, “there’s no question it is the best team we’ve seen this year. I have no alibis.. Our only disadvantage was that it was our first game and their third. Even so. I’m not say- ing we would have beaten them.”

GW shams with Anacostia the distinction of holding Tech to Its lowest winning margin this season —11 points—and Rasty is anxious tp get another crack at the Train- ers in The Star Tournament.

“I want to see both teams 'on' if we play,” Rasty says, “I think it would be a whale of a game.”

Doran's chief hope is that Kes- sler and the other players won’t be ill from here on out. Kessler missed The Star Tournament and played only a few minutes of the State tournament last year be- cause of mumps. This season saw the entire starting lineup abed at one time or another with the virus and they’re fust coming back to full strength.

Just Basketball. Kessler, a native Californian, is

one of those rare high school athletes who restricts himself to ohe kport. “It’s all he does.” Doran says. “Year in and year out, he plsyps basketball”

McMenamin is a sprinter and high jumper in track and a third- baseman in- baseball, while Oliver is a baseball catcher add Mottley a football end and middle-distance runner in. track. Hardy also high-jumps.

Most important to Doran, how- ever, is the scholastic status of his players. The 28 players who make up the junior varsity and var- sity squads compiled an average ol

Three-Game Title Series Scheduled at fort Meade

The Fort Meade Generals and -f the Medical Replacement Train* ing Center Qaduceans will open a best-of-three series Wednesday, at 8 p.m. at the post field house. At stake will be the Fort Meade basketball championship and the right to represent Meade in the Second Army District tournament at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md.. March 10-14.

The second game will be played Friday at 2:30 p.m. and the third game, if necessary, Tuesday, February 28 at 8 pm.

The Generals have won 28 of 33 starts defeating many of the leading service clubs in the area.

The Medics, who boast a 30-4 record, lead the northern division of the Middle Atlantic Inter- service Athletic Conference with a 17-2 record.

87.2 for the semester just com- pleted, well above the school av- erage as a whole. Two junior var- sity stars, Jimmy Mottley, Chuck’s brother, and John Keen made straight As.

Doran, a 6-foot-l redhead and the father of three children—Ed- die, 10; Alberta. 6, and Hal, 3—■ played football at Ohio University. So did Dutch Usilaner, coach of Tech. And that’s another reason Doran wants another crack at ths high-ranking Trainers.

“I don’t say we’d beat ’em.” ha says, “but it sure would1 be a whale of a game to watch.”

And,at this point, GW and Tech are good candidates for final berths in The Star Tournament.
