Charles Wins Over Rex Layne in 11th PITTSBURGH — (U.PJ — Fx' Heavyweight Champion Ezzard Charles lanuched his comeback to night by flooring Rex Layne twice and winning a technical knock out over the clumsy Utah Larruper jtt 2:32 of the 11th round in <ngid Forbes Field. Layne. who had been saved by the bell at the count of “nine" at the end of the 10th round, was floored again by a hard right to the chin for a count of nine in the 11th. The chunky, fair-skinned westerner was so helpless when he regained his feet that referee Buck JfcTiernan stopped the bout. Layne Cut Badly Most of the disappointing crowd «*f 6,257 had been yelling for Me Tiernan to prevent Layne from coming out of his corner to start the 11th. Layne had been bleed ing from his nose, mouth and a deep gash at the corner of his left eye when his handlers picked j turn up from the canvas at the: end of the 10th session and carried him to his corner. Layne had suffered a severe battering on the ropes in the 10th before he finally was driven to the canvas by a left hook to the chin. Charles, scaling the heaviest of his career at 188 pounds, made an uncertain showing in his first bout since losing his title on a knock out to Jersey Joe Walcott in the same Pittsburgh ring last July 18. Ezzard’s Timing Off His three-months lay-off ap peared to have dulled his timing and judgment of distance. Brown skinned Ezzard of Cincinnati miss ed more punches tonight than in any previous bout of his 11-year career. _ Borcher Issues Call N’ew Oregon Basketball Coach Bill Borcher announced Wednes day that there will be a meeting today for all men interested In playing Freshman and \arsity basketball this season. The time is 3:15 p.m. at MacArthur Court. At 30. it seemed he would have considerable difficulty regaining the crofn from 37-year-old Wal cott in their contracted return bout next summer. Layne, scaling 195'> pounds— seven and one-half more than taller Charles—suffered his second con secutive kayo. He was stopped by Rocky Marciano at New York last July 12 in the sixth round.

Hopes dwindled for an upset victory over the I’uiversilN of W ashington Huskies when Coach Hen Casanova announced that 16 players showed np for practice \\ eduesdav with a touch of intestinal flu. Oriirinallv scheduled for the week’s most rugged practice session, Casanova was xorceti uj slacken the drill to dummy tackle sessions. Questioned us to the spirit of the Ducks, especially after the walloping handed them by Pacific, Casanova pointed out that had It not been for outright evidence of nausea, the 10 would have con tinued to work out uncomplaining ly. and unnoticed by the coaching staff. Speculating on the possibility of j the source of the sickness, Casa nova reported that 15 of the 16 j were members of the Stockton traveling squad. Although thee gridders will probably have shaken their miseries by Saturday, the I Duck mentors are moaning the loss of the day's practice.

All the news from the Oregon rump is not somber, however.

Washington, although an mer it helming favorite, is nut a shoo in Casanova and tiene lltirlmv, who scouted the Huskv-I S< tl lanle at Seattle, will attest to that. In supporting his elalin, Casanova referred to ttie second half play of ills defensive Webfoots, who held the high-geared COI's to seven points. In addition, he complimented their ability ot rebound a tribute to their wavering spirit, a spirit, incidentally, which Casanova had no small part instilling in tin youthful Ducks. Klther Way Harlow, after viewing the early season death struggle for the How Bowl favorites' role, could hardly tie expected to predict an Oregon win. But he did say that the game, with its traditional rites and back ground, could go in either direc tion. 1*1 me niiHHir.'i, n«i euviniuii ed a team that "coul<l be groat."

The third-rate Rockey has completed a triffllng 23 passes out >f 38 attempts and 256 yurds, four touchdowns, and a .605 average. Receiving Knd Chief targets for this passing at tack, which Mitchell has thrown 374 yards into the records, is Right Halfback Rill Earley and End Doug McClary. Earley has also manufactured 104 yards rushing, surpassed only by the redoubtable rambling of Hugh MeElhenny, Husky fullback, who last week raced 100 yards on a punt return for a Washington touchdown and a PCC record. McIOlhenny has gained 191 yards from scrimmage, caught 11 passes for 46 yards and scored 39 points for team honors. The Washington offensive and defensive lines are the life-line of the Seattle eleven. The defending line of Harold Talley, Clyde Seiler, Captain Ted Holzknecht, Jim O'Brien and Neil Boyd, in Odell’s five-four-two formation, backed up with All-American safety Sprague, is perhaps the best on the Pacific Coast.
