Princeton University's basketball team broke the 12-game winning streak of.Yale University, 47-45, before 3300 tonight as George Sella limited high-scoring Tony, Lavelli to 14 points and got 18 himself in an Eastern Intercollegiate League game.

In the rivals' earlier meeting at New Haven. Lavelli harl tallied 40 point as Yale won, 74-48. The scrappy Billy Clarke, who specialized in stealing the ball from his bigger foes, shot two fouls, for a 23-all halftime tie. Lavelli put the Elis in front with a foul and a goal, but Clarke hit from outside and Sella's foul and layup put Princeton ahead to stay. The Tigers led by as much as six points until Yale hacked it down before the gun.

The Capitals routed the cellar-dwelling Lions, 10-2, at Washington as Don and Rod Morrison each sr-ored twice and their first-line mate, Nels tallied once and had two assists. The Hornets trounced the Springfield Indians.

8-1. at Pittsburgh as Rudy Migay scored three time. at 33-45 witn a great penorm- i ance in the first half. Big Ed Sadowski came through with a magnificent exhibition in the final two periods to enable the Warriors to give the favored Royals a thorough scare. SCORE TIED AT 82 Able to get but one goal in the first half, Sadowski tallied nine field goals on 18 shots in the final two periods, getting five of his baskets in the final period.

His last two buckets tied the score at 82 with 4 minutes to go. but he missed the only two shots he got the rest of the way. Bob Davies, held to one field goal for three periods by relentless George Senesky, converted a free throw at this juncture and Bill Calhoun, rangy Coast youngster who limited Joe Fulks to 21 points, broke free for a one-handed shot from the side to give Rochester an edge never lost. However, a basket by Fulks. his eighth of the contest, cut the score to 86-84, and then a foul conversion by the Warriors' ace cut it to a skinny point.

86-85. EASY SHOT FOR RISEN At this point Rochester got the break that actually decided the contest. A missed Rochester shot rebounded into Bishop's hands, and when he wasn't able to hold on to the ball Sadowski came toward him to try to get it. But the ball rolled directly to Arnie Risen, who led the winners with 17 points, and he reached up unmolested and banked it into the cords. With 1 :33 to go.

Fulks didn't give the ball back to the referee promptly and a technical foul was called against him for delaying the game. Bobby Wanzer not only made the vital free throw, but Calhoun scored on a drive inside when Rochester put the ball in play from out of bounds and it was all over but the shouting. 23 POINTS FOR SADOWSKI Sadowski wound up with 10 field goals and three fouls for 23 points, while Bishop tallied seven goals on 15 shots and made eight of his ten free throws for 22 points. Bishop made 17 of his points in the first half, when he and Fulks were the Warrior players able to make at least two field goals. The Warriors made only 33 goals on 111 "shots, while Rochester had an excellent percentage, 35 of 87.

The victory kept Rochester in first place in the Western Division, and the setback dropped the Warriors back into fourth, but the latter remained oner and one-half games behind second -place New York as the latter lost to Minneapolis. REV: G. field foals: ST. shots taken: V. fool cnsJs: FT.

M. in a Basketball Association of America game which tops a tripleheader.

At 7:30 P. the Crusaders CC will play the Kingsessing Shamrocks in a Philadelphia League game. At 8:30 P. the Ford and Kendig girls, seeking their 43d consecutive victory, will oppose the Ardmore girls team. A group of fans headed by Jimmy Wilson will pay tribute to Rullo, who was a member of the Warriors championship team of 1946-47 and returned this year after a season with the Sphas.

The Woodland string band and a color guard from the McCall Legion post will parade. Whether Jerry sees action depends on the condition of a knee injured two weeks ago. He did not accompany the team last night to Rochester, where the Warriors met the Rochester Royals in a BAA contest. Since the Stags last played here, they have added two athletes from this district. They are Mike Bloom, one-time Temple University All-American, and Carl Meinhold, of Hazleton.

The stewards charged Garner's mount in last Saturday's $100,000 Santa Anita Derby, Olympia, cut across the field so sharply that he caused serious interference with the other colts, knocking several out of contention entirely. The other major development was the announcement by Clifford Moo- ers, whose cold. Old Rockport, won the Santa Anita Derby, that he would not enter the youngster in the Santa Anita Handicap next Saturday against older horses. Mooers said he felt Old Rockport should be kept in his own age bracket and he will be pointed towards the Kentucky Derby.

Until the Rocfc'ets'rlly began, the-Flyers had appeared to be sure winners. Fighting to stey in the thick of the Western Division race, which they led for most of the season, the Flyers had taken a 3- lead in the first six minutes and had held the advantage with a tight defense even though the Rockets dominated tha play thereafter. PRENTICE SCORES TWICE The Rockets scored once before the first session ended, but St.

Louis got it back in the second. When th Flyers ran the count up to 5-1 early in the last period, the Rockets appeared to be doomed. Then cam the fireworks. Eric Prentice and Phil Herge-sheimer were the main forces In tha Rocket upheaval. Prentice found the mark twice in a row to set off the spark.

Hergesheimer aided his first score with a pass and then scored himself on a pass from Wally Stefaniw. The tying goal was hammered home by Steve Wochy, who took a pass from the back of the cage by Rusty Waldriff and sent it into the right hand corner of the net. KILREA TALLIES Paul Gladu netted the first St. Louis score after little more than a minute on a pass from Don Grosso. In the next five minutes the Flyer tallied twice in succession on an unassisted goal by Vic Grigg and a shot by Henry Backor.

That system throws the top three teams in the final standings in the Western and Eastern Divisions Into the playoff with the East team playing the West through the first round.

Some Western clubs were seeking a change in the playoff plan because of the top-heavy strength in the Western Division last year and thl year. It was learned that a possible general realignment of the league was discussed and that the Issue may come up again in the spring. Several Eastern Division oities have not beem able to match such Western points as Cincinnati, Cleveland. Indianapolis. St.

Louis and Buffalo in seating capacity or playing strength. Cincinnati, which opened its $3,000,000 Garden tonight, will Join the league next season. If there is a complete realignment, it was learned these two possibilities exist 1. Formation of entirely separate Western and Eastern Divisions with teams playing only their own division rivals through the regular season. They would have separate playoffs and the eventual division winners would meet in a final playoff.

The Wisconsin Princeton Wins Polar Bear Meet By MORT BERRY Inquirer Sports Reporter PRINCETON, N.

Feb. 22. Under a pelting rain that made Polar Bear seem like a misnomer for a track meet (especially on Washington's Birthday, Princeton University outscored the University of Pennsylvania, while Columbia University was a lowly third with 21 today on the 11-lap board track at Palmer Stadium. The outcome ended Penn's two-year reign. So well-balanced it scored in every event, Princeton officially gained the most first' places with six.

Showiest of its outdoor winners was Ron Wittreich. The Ivy League champion ran a 4:19 mile on the slippery boards. TWO PHILADELPHIAXS WIN In the ROTC riding hall, where the field events were held, a pair of Philadelphians came through for Princeton. Stan Blumenfeld. a Public League champion for Central in 1945 and 1946, won the broad jump.

Joe Ewing, former Haverford School athlete, won the 35-pound weight throw. Aside from the mile, Princeton's other outdoor triumph came in the 60-yard hurdles. Dana Payne received official credit by finishing ahead of teammate Stan Weiland. Actually Penn's Dave Zeller broke the tape. His performance counted for third place, however.

The peculiar circumstances which puzzled the few hearty onlookers who returned for Princeton's midwinter Alumni Day resulted from a pre-meet understanding among the coaches. ONLY HEAT WINNERS ELIGIBLE By agreement, only heat winners were eligible for first and second places. Pa me won his heat against Zeller, while Weiland went un-clocked to the tape when Penn's Rai Okamoto, the only other second-heat entrant, skidded into a hurdle and failed to finish. Penn's five official winners were Continued on Page 47, Column 5 Yale Nears Squash Title NEW HAVEN, Feb. 22 fAP).

Yale University defeated Princeton University in squash racquets today. 6-3, and needs only victories over MIT and Harvard Friday and Saturday in Boston to assure the Blue of its fourth straight National Intercollegiate championship.

West Catholic High School's Ernie Beck took top honors in the selection of the 1949 All-Catholic basketball team, named annually for The Inquirer by ballot of the league coaches.

Beck, who retained the laurels he won as a junior last year, received 22 of a possible 24 points.

The bout heads the first program staged by new promotional partnership of Pete Moran and Fred Meagher. It shares honors with another 10-rounder that sends Chico Varona, crowd-pleasing Cuban, into action with Sammy Secreet, veteran Pittsburgh welter. Still another featured attraction, an eight-rounder, brings a third meeting of Dusty Wilkerson, North Philadelphia, and Gene Jones, young Camden husky.
