Valparaiso Honor Student Also
Gains Honors on Basketball Court
By FRANK ECK
(AP News Fttturu Sporu Editor)
' New York Valparaiso unl
Tersity has in Bob Metcall a
possibility ior All-America bss
ketball honors this season. At
least the students who follow
the cage sport feel that way.
Metcalfs supporters point to
the six-foot-one star's scoring I
record. He averaged 16 points
per game last season while
amassing 399 points. In three
seasons he has made 849 markers.
The Merrllvllle, Ind., na
tive Is a cinch to set a Cru
sader scoring record. The
mark ss held by Ted Bean,
last season's captain, who
amassed 1080 points, two
more than the great Bob Dille
of the 1945-48 team.
At the rate Metcalf Is goingl
he should score more than 430
points this season for an over
all total of more than 1300. In
the Crusaders' first eight games.
seven of which they won, Met
calf tallied 172 points for a 21.5
point average. He ranks among
the nation's scoring leaders.
There are only a few games
on the Valpo schedule where
Metcalf might run into diffi
culty; the three windup games
of the season at Worchester,
Mass.; Seton Hall, March 2 at
South Orange N.J., and March 6
against Loyola In Chicago.
Last season such teams as
Loyola, Bowling Green, Denver,
Toledo and Hamline put Met
calf on their all-opponent five.
Coach Wilbur (Strings) Allen,
in his first year of coaching at
the Lutheran school, made the
right move In building this sea
son's Valpo team around Met
calf for he Is a great team
man. In the final game last sea
son, Metcalf needed two points
to reach the 400 mark. He had
two foul shots coming but took
only one and under last year's
rules, waived his other shot so
that his team could retain pen
sion and insure a 68-63 victory
over Manchester, an Indiana
rival.
First on the floor for practice
and the last to leave, Metcalf
really loves the sport. Majoring
in chemistry, Bob is an A stu
dent, carrying a minor in phys-
leal ed. His ambition is to land
a combination Job as chemistry
teacher-coach at some school.
In addition to his heavy
schedule, Metcalf also finds time
to work in the university laun
dry.
Metcalf made a basketball
name for himself In the east
a few years ago with the
crack Bainbrldge, Md., navy
team. He passed exams for
entrance to the Naval Acad
emy at Annapolis and passed
np the chance to enroll.
His teammates, however, are
making sure he passes up no
scoring chances. In recent games
against Toledo and Guatamala
he bagged 33 points in each con
test. Against Western Michigan
he dropped to 17 points, a poorj
figure for Metcalf.
The next morning he was on
the basketball court at 9 o clock,
practicing set shots.

Eagan About-faces on
LaMotta; Sugar Warned
New York, Jan. 13 (UB As
Chairman Eddie Eagan of the
New York commission relented
unexpectedly today on Middle
weight Champion Jake LaMotta,
Commissioner John (Ox) Da
Grosa of Pennsylvania cracked
the whip at Welterweight Boss
Ray Robinson.
Eagan did an about-face when
informed that LaMotta of the
Bronx had signed to meet Light
Heavyweight Dick Wagner at
Detroit on Feb. 3 in the first of
a series of tune-up bouts before
defending his 160-pound crown
in June, probably at Detroit.
Two weeks ago Eagan and his
commission threatened to vacate
LaMotta's title unless he signed
Gordon 'Doesn't
Like' '50 Tribe
Contract Offer
Cleveland, O., Jan. 13 U.R)
Second Baseman Joe Gordon
said today he had received his
1950 contract from the Cleve
land Indians but added "I'm
afraid I don't like it."
Gordon, whose hitting fell off
last year despite his 20 home
runs, said "the contract they
mailed me cut my base pay S5,-
000 and eliminated a bonus of
$2500. It makes me wonder if
they really want me. Doesn't
seem consistent."
The former Yankee star said
he still hadn't made up his mind
on the question of retirement,
but strongly indicated by tele
phone from his home in Eugene,
Oregon., that he would play
again if he can reach a suitable
financial agreement.
He received approximately
$35,000 last year.

before Feb. 1 for a defense in
March. Today, however, Eagan
said the commission probably
would give LaMotta favorable
consideration if he signed up be
fore Feb. 1 for a defense in June.
LaMotta hasn't risked his
crown since he won it from the
late Marcel Cerdan at Detroit on
June 16. His tardiness violated
the rule that requires a cham
pion to defend at least once ev
ry six months.
Meanwhile, at Philadelphia
Commissioner Da Grosa an
nounced that the Pennsylvania
commission would suspend Rob
inson, the 147-pound champ, if
he tried to pull out of a sched
uled non-title bout with George
(Sugar) Costner at Philadelphia
on Feb. 22.
of Detroit Lion footballer Fred
Enke, rates Blevins one of the
best players to wear Arizona
livery.
The 23-year-old Phoenician,
a veteran of duty with the navy
during the war, was the top
scorer. Against Pittsburgh he
scored 11 field goals In 13 at
tempts and against the Univer
sity of West Virginia he rolled
up 28 points. For the season
his total was 390, an average of
about 14 per game.
An excellent ball handler and
a master of feinting rivals out of

1,000 points at Phoenix college,
a two-year school.
