Gavilan Fails
In Comeback
MIAMI BEACH. Kla. (AP>
Hector Constance, a tough young
sharpshooter fro m Trinidad,
knocked Kid Gavilan off the
comeback trail Wednesday night
with an unanimous decision over
the ex-welterweight champion.
The 24-year-old Conatance,
fighting a smart, aggressive
battle all the way, scored heav
ily in the infighting and punished
Gavilan with hard right upper
cuts and a piston-like left when
ever the Cuban Ktyl launched one
of his famous flurries.
Gavilan's defeat by the ninth
ranking contender may have
ruined the once-great champion's
hopes of beating his way back to
the title he lost Oct. 20 to John
ny Saxton In Philadelphia.
It wits a close fight from start
to finish. Referee Cy Gottfried
gave Constance, the 9-5 under
dog. a margin of 90-95.
Judge Gus Jacobson voted it
67-95 and Judge Morris Keingold
96-97. The Associated Press gave
Constance a 97-90.
Braves' Wilson
Refuses Contract
MILWAUKEE (APi The
Milwaukee Braves have offered
Jtm "No Hit" Wilson a salary
increase, but the 32-year-old
hurler has refused to sign.
John Quinn, Braves general
manager, told about the offered
raise but didn't say how much it
was.
"I talked with Wilson on long
distance the other night about
his contract," said Quinn. "I
told him that every club in the
National League had waived on
him and that his friend Paul
Richards had offered only a
triple A player in exchange for
him. I guess that was a big sur
prise to Jim."

C of I's Baylor
Tops NW Scoring

lies per tilt.
This was three points ahead
of Don Porter of Uinfield, who
was making a desperate stand to
retain the crown he won last year
while playing for Portland State,
His 1954 total was 624 and both
he and Baylor probably will sur
pass that before the season
closes.
Porter had to settle for third
spot this week on the rating by
averages with 25.6. Norm Hubert
of Pacific, tied with Porter in to
tal point production, took over
second with a 26.8 average.
There was a big drop from this
trio to fourth spot, held by Ted
Sehadewitz of Eastern Oregon
with 21.6. The rest of the field
was bunched, a total of 11 men.
! including Oregon’s Jim Loscu
tofi. averaging better than 18
points per game.

Minnesota Legislature
Blasts NCAA Policy
ST. PAUL, Minn. fAP)—The
Minnesota House of Representa
j tives panned a resolution asking
the University of Minnesota to
: ignore NCAA policies and per
mit telecasting of athletic events.
The resolution has no binding
effect on the school. Rep. D. D.
Wozniak, chief sponsor, said he
hoped "this type of legislative
pleasure, which is the only thing
the NCAA understands, will in
fluence it to come up with a sys
tem whereby the games can be
televised.”
The NCAA now permits tele
vision, on a national basis, of only
one football game a week. Its
policies on local telecasts of col
lege basketball games are more
liberal. The Minnesota-Iowa bas
ketball game next Monday, for
example, will be televised locally.
The measure, a House resolu
tion, does not require Senate ac
tion.
Copies of it are being sent to
the Big Ten, the NCAA, the Min
nesota Board of Regents and
legislatures of the states where
Big Ten schools are located.
A total of 483 commercial tele
vision stations were authorized
by the Federal Communications
commission in 1953.
