Dies
J. Dallas Shirley, 80, a retired D.C. school principal and one
of the area's most prominent basketball referees and supervisors,
died March 1 at George Washington University. He had pulmonary
fibrosis. Over 33 years, Mr. Shirley, a Washington native, officiated
more than 2,000 games. In addition to local contests, he was
a National Basketball Association official during the league's
first season, in 1946-47, and for the remainder of the 1940s.
He also officiated at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome and was
chief official at the 1959 Pan American Games in Chicago. He
also had officiated numerous college games and, as a member of
a rules committee, had helped establish the three-point shot
in college basketball. He was a supervisor emeritus of the old
Southern Conference and an observer of officials for the Atlantic
10 Conference and the Colonial Athletic Association. At the time
of his death, Mr. Shirley was commissioner of the 12-team high
school Washington Catholic Athletic Conference, which now includes
girls teams. He had been commissioner of one of its predecessor
groups, the Washington Metropolitan Athletic Conference, which
was composed of boys teams, for 16 years. He also ran numerous
basketball clinics, both here and abroad. To officials at those
camps, The Washington Post reported last year, he used to say,
"Watch the NBA game. Enjoy it. Greatest skills in the world.
But. Don't look at the referees. Not that they're not good. It's
just that their rules are so different. Steps. Contact. All that
kind of stuff." In 1979, Mr. Shirley was elected to the
Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. He did
fund-raising work for the hall, served as a trustee and had been
chairman of its veterans committee. He also was a member of the
Virginia Sports and Washington Metropolitan Basketball halls
of fame. James Dallas Shirley, who lived in Reston, was born
in Washington and graduated from Eastern High School. He was
a 1936 graduate of George Washington University, where he also
received a master's degree in education. He joined the D.C. public
schools in 1937 as a health, social studies and physical education
teacher at Alice Deal Junior High. He was chairman of the physical
education department at Eastern High School in 1942. Then, from
1943 until retiring in 1968, he served as principal of Gordon
Junior High.

[Website editor's note: The Shirley Association has
not verified the link between the family and Prince William Co

to migrate to during this period; however, the Bell family plays
a prominent roll in the other Shirley families of Prince William
Co - so it's possible]

43570 419-924-5677 sandra@locl.net I am searching for any information
concerning James Shirley who married Matilda Bell. James was
born in 1799...She was born in 1817 and died 2/9/1890. She was
the daughter of James Bell and Mary (maiden name unknown). They
lived in the Warsaw, Indiana area and she later remarried to
Joseph Pellett in Sept. 1858. James Shirley and Matilda Bell
were married in 1837. I can find nothing on when or where James
died or where he is buried. I believe they were married either
in Knox Co., Ohio or Kosciusko Co., Indiana. Any help would be
appreciated New email as of 2008: slshirley@verizon.net
