Both victories were achieved in the final seconds of play. Frank Higgins popped In a 30 foot set shot from an angle seven seconds before the final buzzer for the Boston College victory. Holy-Cross and Kansas battled furiously through tlie game which was tied 11 times as Clyde Lovellette, 6-9 Sophomore center, scored 25 for the visitors and Bob Cmisy's ball handling and playniaking brought numerous cheers from the crowd. Loyola also had a 25- point man in its losing cause, Johnny Arndt who dribbles as fast as many players can run. He rang in 11 of those points in succession in the last of the half as his team left the floor with a 30-25 lead.

Holy Cross used a three platoon system In the first half and had a 28-21 margin at the end of that period. Kansas lied it at 28-28'soon after the stavt of the second half and then Cousy made two startling plays in rapid succession.

He stole the ball from the Kan. sans in mid court, dribbled all the way and jumped in a soft layup. the deft Holy Cross co captain intercepted the Kansas throw-in from out of bounds and (Illicitly pushed in another field gonl. But the ever present Lovellette hooped two- more and the score was tied for the fifth time. And so it went, first one ahead and then tlie other.

HOLMES TO FIGHT FOR JOB NEW YORK, Dec. 21 UPI--Tommy Holmes, forgotten man of the Boston Braves' outfield after eight years as a regular, isn't giving up without a struggle. "No, I'm not going to ask to ba traded," he said "I read where Billy Southworth said 'Sid Gordon, Sam Jethroe and Willnrd Marshall were going to be his outfielders next season.

This game wll start at 6:45, followed by a clash jetwoen General Line School and Petroleum Supply and the Men's Democratic Club and the Knights of Columbus. Since Ryan's only defeat was inflicted by the Oilers, a stubbornly contested six-point affair, the sports good quintet is particularly anxious to even accounts and stay the championship running. Ryan's will bank heavily on the shooting of Txm Rodriguez, Frank Bryer and Gil Bradfield to check well-balanced Oilers.

If the Oilers, all capable players, have an outstanding star, that individual ms been Ray'Carr.

Brother. Brendon, principal, said Tuesday that he felt the Academy rooters were entitled to the highest grade ball in Rhode Island. Since I'aculty Director Bill Lalli is reserving official opinion until after the Athletic meets, we will not dlsv close the Rdg'ers official who feels that the new arrangements; might work out well.

Seven-team divisions "will cut the -Viking present schedule from 20 league games to 12, thus enabling them' to their slate with attractive non- league tilts. Class will be strong, with such schools as Pawtucket. East and West and Westerly mingling with Rogers. And Rogers will -be free from that' crushing Class A football schedule. Rogers in the league would several old rivals, whereas De La Salle, in Class have all new opponents.

How tnuch interest would be created by the Crusaders playing such schools as Central Falls, West North Provi-' denee, Lockwood and Gorton? All right for preliminaries maybe. Perhaps tlie other teams- may howl, considering De La 'Salle a top-heavy favorite with a through ticket to the state play-offs. Dick Hole, Petroleum Supply scoring demon, has cornered the City League's point market. He has 3,01 points in four games gait that compares favor- ablywith his best Rhode Island State.College basket-popping.

They were Bill, now deputy fire chief, of the old Wellingtons; Lollie of the Dan of the Tabs and St Alary's, Jiihn of St. Joseph's, Jimmy of the Aquldnccks and St. Mary's Boys Club, and Frank, the youngest who played for several fast local club teams. Leo, the dribbler- and play- maker of unusual talent, made all-New England collegiate first teani as a fonvard a St. and later was a bright star in the semi-pro field.

And the others were not too far behind Leo In ability. The number of fouls committed like points scored'soar every season. Some old time fans complain that City League games, rapid in a sense of players', 'motion, are too slow in They point out' that 20-minute halve games of 30 and 40 years ago not take nearly so long. Rogers High games.of the same playing time often xvere over in an hour. But there are many more delays these days! The shooting of fouls consumes much time and taking the ball out of bounds after all foul shots in the last two minutes hasn't speeded up the game.

The average number. of fouls called this season in City League games is 34 plus, seven higher thrm the rate in 1918-49. The Knights ot Columbus team has only 49 fouls in four games. Most proho to err is the Line School with 78. The Democrats have committed 65.

Ryan's 63; Petroleum Supply 67, and Dugnn's Oilers 72. I i i a foul statistics show that the Line School's "Jake" a i has been, charged with 17 personals in four games.
