Prize Fight Quiz
Is Given Impetus
WASHINGTON. Dec. 12-WV
The National Boxing association
agrees with Representative Am
brose J. Kennedy (D, Md.) that
the prize-fight business should be
investigated and supervised by a
federal commission.
President Harv.ey L. Miller an
hounced today that only 10 votes
had been cast against Kennedy's
proposal in a poll of the 39 state
and city boxing commissions
which comprise the association's
membership.
The negative votes, he said
came from Mississippi, Maryland,
North Carolina, Illinois, Connecti
cut, Indiana, Virginia, Oklahoma,
Iowa and Atlanta, Ga.
Kennedy has asserted that box-
New York state, he said, "the
gates are not. what they used to
be." He declared that a "New
York monopoly" exists in the
sport and that when this monop
oly is broken "boxing will again
prosper."

service, while Brewster's second
half splurge of six baskets tied

ors for the invaders, with 11 each.
While WlUamette's defense was
ragged, the Bearcats staged a .144
casaba-cannlng performance the
Albanys couldn't match despite
getting 74 pokes at the payoff
circle. Willamette led off, with
two-pointers by Eberly and White.
but a sifter by Koch and baskets
by Croston and Cardiff put Al
bany out in front 5-4 with six
minutes gone.
Eberly, on a nice pass from big
Ralph Farmer, put Willamette
back in the lead momentarily,
but Koch, one of the cleverest
basketeers to show here this sea
son, dribbled around Farmer to
shove Albany back in front, 7-6,
with eight minutes gone. Ques
seth tossed home a field goal
from just back of the keyhole,
but H. Pete made good his gifter
on Kolb's infraction to tie the
count, 8-8.
White Hits Long One
Then it was that White, boom
ing down the middle, let fly a
one-hander that skidded through
oft the backboard to put Willam
ette in the lead, 10-8, and the
'Cats were on their way. With
Eberly, Kolb, Farmer and Ques
seth all hitting, they ran out a
23-12 halftlme lead.
Albany, with Croston caging a
rebound, drew first blood as the
second half opened, but White,
Sum Gallagher and Eberly pitched
true while Brewster was pocket
ing his first to keep the Willam
ettes to the fore with six min

Brewster, aided, by Croston and
Koch, narrowed the Willamette
advantage to 35 to 28 with 10
gone, the closest the Albanys got,
but Maple rushed in a fresh out
fit that added to the lead as it
stalled out the remainder of the
game. I
