Ian Ross MacFarlane, Ed Hutchinson, Fod Cotton, one of Notf Dame's famous seven mules under Knute Rockne, and the writer attempted to answer the questions. Questions were handled with dispatch until one sailor asked about Dave Ball, a heavyweight fighter, He was a navy fighter who won a championship in Australia, and the quiz experts were stumped.

It was nothing, however, compared to the stumping caused by Charles Schimko's question: "Who was the last man to box John L. Sullivan." CtCtit Warmup a It A By STUART B.

aV.l I 1fff I By JOSEPH B. KELLY Loyola College successfully opened its bid for the Mason-Dixon basketball title by crushing the Gallaudet quintet, 67-28, last nisht on the Evergreen floor. The victors, battered around pomewhat on their road trip over the past week end when they bowed to Rhode Island State. Seton Hall unit LaSallo. bounced back with determination against the Washington five, which offered Wi-ak resistance, loyola was impeded only momon tarily in Its barrage on the cords in the early part of the contest when Gallaudet held a slight lead The visitors scored first when Les lie Massey dropped in a layup.

But Gallaudet' advantage was brief as Andy O'Donnell connected for a pair of baskets. Gene O'Conor for one and Tom Gisriel for another to give Loyola a 12-9 lead as the first quarter ended. Loyola Leads, 28-18, At Half Although the Evergreen five was not clicking too smoothly with Don Galloway sidelined by a leg injury and Jim Lacy experiencing tough luck on his outside tosses, the hosts gradually drew away from Gallaudet. There was little doubt of the eventual outcome when Loyola walked off with a 28-12 lead at half time. The second half merely served as a 20-minute workout for the big Loyola squad as it poured 39 points through the hoops while Gallaudet, which tired noticeably against the host's(zone defense, picked up only 16 markers.

Coach Emil (Lefty) Iteitz sent 15 players into the game and 12 broke scoring ice. Although the starting Loyola five was most effective running the count from 28-12 to 45 21 with ten minutes still remaining in the contest, some of the reserves also flashed scorinst punch. O'Donnell Shows Promise In this respect. Andy O'Donnell. a 6 foot freshman from St.

Ann's High School in Pennsylvania, showed much promise feeding the ball to open mates with accurate passes and also clicking for four goals from the floor. Bill Ferguson, another first-year student from Loyola High, Jim Ward, of Mount St. Joe, showed ball-handling ability. From a a-21 bulge at the start of the final ten minutes the Loyola third-stringers continued to work on the basket. Although the crowd vas yelling for 70 points the whistte halted the rout shortly after Ferguson converted a foul to run the score to 67-28 r.s the Gallaudet were practically walking on their heels.

Winners Face Busy Schedule Loyola's scoring column was well split with Gene O'Conor leading the figures on five baskets and a foul for 11. O'Donnell ind Tom Gisriel each picked up eight. The Evergreen team faces a busy schedule before shutting down for the Christmas vacation, playing American University in Washington tomorrow night, entertaining Randolph-Macon here on Saturday, journeying to ViHanova on December 20 and taking on AUIerson Broaddus College here on December 23.

The defeat was the fourth straight for Catholic, and its second loss in Mason-Dixon Conference play. Montgomery played a fine floor game and was the night's high scorer with 13 points. Close guarding by the Johns Hopkins quint, and vigilant work in taking the ball when it rebounded from the backboard on misses, told the story.

Giant Vacation JUDGING BY reports from Los Angeles, the last-pl-ce Giants must have rpent a lot of time sihtsee-'n while the ball clans were meet ini. Here's an outfit with much dough and needing almost everything In players. And what do you hear about ihcin? Mainly that they are seeking Peanuts Lowrev from the Cubs. On The Spot TRUTH SEEMS to be that the horse traders ganged up. on the Giants.

Everyone approached about a player wanted either Buddy Kerr, shortstop, or Bill Voiselle, pitcher, or both, in the d3al. Kerr is perhaps the No. 2 short-fielder in the National. If the Giants traded him away they might as well farm out Manager Mel Ott. Or perhaps the latter wouldn't be such a bad idea anyhow.

o- Lucky Ott OTT, to quite frank about it, hasn't don3 much for the Giants as a manager. This past season was the second time he has finished last, and he would up fifth twice in between, after finishing third in his first season. Criticism has been conspicuous because of its absence, in Ott's case. The experts and fans have treated him very well indeed. The guy has personality, eighth-place personality.

West of Charts ON THE FACE of it the Australian Davis Cup tennis committee would appear to be heading into a shadow- boxing meeting today. They are to meet to decide whether Adrian QuisJ or Colin Long will pair up with John Brom-wich in the Davis Cup doubles bat- versus the United States later month.

Considering that Quist and Brom- wich have lost only two doubles matches whila winning more than 100, playing before and since the war, and that, as a matter of fact, it was Bromwich and Quist who won the cup in 1939, talk about a selection takes on some of the picturesque aspects of boloney. TJnbright OF COURSE, it may be that Quist has slipped slightly from his high estate and that Long really figures in the selection. In any event, with Bromwich and Dinny Pails, (Dinny, that is, not Dinner) playing in the singles, and the available doubles selections, the cup outlook for the U.S.A. hns caused no on to put on a pair of sun glasses.
