Walcott KO
Victorious
Philly Bout
Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 9 (U.R)
in 1936 Jersey Joe Walcott
knocked out Phil Johnson in the
third round. Last night, 14 years
later, Walcott knocked out John
son's son, Harold in the third
round.
But the coincidence was not
the only amazing thing about this
bout. Johnson tumbled to the
canvas for the full count without
being struck.
He was downed in the second
round bv a series of vicious lefts
and rights but in the third he
sprung out after the bell, appar
ently fit.
Johnson Injured
Before Walcott could strike a
blow, however, Johnson sud
denly stiffened, put his fight
glove to his back and pitched
forward on his face.
As Walcott stepped away,
startled. Johnson rolled over on
his back, wincing with pain. He
dragged himself over to the ring
apron as Referee Dave Beloff
completed the 10-count.
Ringside doctors indicated
Johnson suffered a sacroiliac in
jury and took him to Presby
terian hospital. He told them he
was hurt in this manner in a
previous bout. ,

part in the donkey basketball
game Saturday night in the
Eagle Point high gym were an
nounced today by School Super
intendent Glenn Hale, a member
of one team.
Proceeds -from this hilarious
affair In which players try to
make stubborn donkeys move
when players want to move and
go fast when so wishing, will go
toward Eagle Point school activi
ties and to the athletic fund.
Playing on the "mule train"
team will be Lyle Van Scoy, Ev
erett Hannah, Jim Wallis, Spike
Mallory, Buzz Whitman, Don
Ashpole, Floyd Bubb ani Leon
ard Bradshaw with .t Kent
and Rciand Jenks as managers.
This team is said to have had
years of experience riding mules

this donkey basketball clash
will be Emmctt Ritter, Clarence
Davis, Hale, William Barnes,
Shirley Callaghan, Don McGov
ern, Hugh Eskridge, Darrel Cope
and and Steven Whipple, man
ager. Members of the faculty team
claim with the "mule train"
team's experience in riding
mules that this group of Eagle
Point farmers and businessmen

Oscar Fralcy
New York, Feb. 9 U.R
Chain reaction resulting from
athletic- dishonesty today was
torcing loot
ball into the
backg round
and booming
basketball in
to intercollegi
a t e promin
ence.
What it sim
mers down to
is a matter of
compe t i t i v e
costs.
In football a
college must
"buv" 50 rjlav-
ers if it wants a good club. In
basketball the cost is just one
fifth as steep because you only
need 10 men to hit the big time.
SMALLER COLLEGES
Sa there ii no question that
the smaller colleges are switch
ing to basketball, because of
the lesser costs, instead of at
tempting to match the more
powerful and allegedly "pure"
major universities as a gridiron
attraction.
It works like this: The little
schools can't afford competitive
bidding; therefore they haven't
good teams and so they don't
attract the paying customers.
What are some of the big
name teams of basketball? That's
easy City College of New
York, St. John's (which doesn't
even have a football team), Se
ton Hall, St. Louis, Canisius,
Bradley, Bowling Green, De
paul and others of their igno
minious gridiron ilk.
St. Louis has dropped football
because of its grid deficit. Now
Canisius has followed suit after
losing $35,000 and is shifting
its attention to basketball in
hopes of rescuing the athletic
fund.
DROPPED $135,000
St. Bonaveniure has dropped
$135,000 in three years and
only recently lost its highly
regarded coach, Hughie De
vore, to New York university,
which couldn't lick Vassar on
an off Saturday.
This is not to say that St.
Bonaveniure is quitting football.
But the sport dide't pay. Could
that have been because of com
petitive bidding against such as
Notre Dame?
It all points up the number
of prevaricators who assertedly
are complying with the NCAA
sanity code, or, as some people
facetiously refer to it, the "sani
tary" code, limiting aid to ath
letes. Only seven schools confessed
voluntarily that they were giv
ing more than the allotted aid
to athletes when the NCAA
sent out its fill-it-in-on-your-hon-or
questionnaire. These schools
were Boston college, Villanova,
Virginia, Maryland, VMI, VPI,
and The Citadel.

Fruit Flies Suggest
Clue To Discover Of
Cancer Doctor Claims
Providence, R. I (U.R) A
Rhode Island State college zool
ogy professor believes his exper
iments with fruit flies possibly
suggests that humans may in
herit a weakness for cancer.
Dr. Ernest Hartung has devel
oped a strain of flies, 80 per cent
ot which develop cancer. In an
other strain he has bred, less
than one per cent got tumors.
He hopes his continuing ex
periments will discover the sin
gle factor in the fruit fly's ge

It suspectible to cancer. Then he
could apply the knowledge to
the study of human cancer.
