Government Presents Boxing Case
Arguments Before Supreme Court
Washington (U.R) The I claims that Joe Louis, former
government, pressing its monop
oly case against big-time box-
ing interests, was scheduled to
present arguments before the
Supreme Court today that the
sport is subject to the federal anti-trust
laws.
A government suit charging
monopoly, in. boxing was dis
missed by lower, courts, which
referred to the 1953 Supreme
Court ruling that baseball is not
a business in interstate com
merce and therefore not subject
to the federal anti-trust laws.
Named as defendants in the
boxing action are three .corpor
ations the International Box
ing Clubs of New - York and
Chicago and Madison Square
Garden Corp. and two individ
uals James D. Norris and Ar
thur N. .Wirtz. . Norris . and
Wirtz, together with the Gar
den, own 80 per cent of the
stock in the two IBC clubs.
TV Charge Made
; The government charges that
these three corporations and
two individuals monopolize the
promotion and exhibition of
championship boxing bouts, as
well as the ! broadcasting and
televising rights. - .
The Justice Department also

heavyweight champion, figured
prominently in the alleged con
spiracy. The famed "Brown
Bomber" is charged with agree
ing to resign his title in order
to obtain exclusive rights to the
services of the four leading con
tenders at the time and assign
these rights to the defendants,
i The boxing interests -contend
that . Congress, in devising the
anti-trust laws, intended' to ex
empt all organized sports from
them and that the government
is now attempting to bring all
sports, including baseball, under
the law "without the possible
embarrassment of a frontal at
tack upon the national pastime
of baseball ..." :
Bighorn Sheep
At Native Range
Lakeview, Ore. -U.F9 Rim
rock bighorn sheep, which were
exterminated by hunters in Ore
gon in about 1916, have been re
turned to the native range in the
Hart mountains east of here.
Some 20 sheep were transport
ed by truck from the interior of
British. Columbia Monday and re
leased into a 35-acre holding pen
on the abrupt west face of Hart
mountain. : .
Bob Mace,, big game specialist
for the Oregon game commission,
said the sheep were trapped
near Williams Lake in British
Columbia. The British Columbia
Game Department and the Ore
gon game commission cooperated
in trapping and transporting the
animals.
The one adult ram, 12 ewes
and seven lambs showed no ap
parent - distress from the 36
hour trip. The game commission
plans to stock other parts of the
bighorn ancestral range from the
small herd. ' ,-.
FAST WHISTLE? Even a lot of 49er fans thought so when official Tay Brown (right)
blew the whistle on Los Angeles Rams' Tank Younger (left) taking 49er Defensive
Back Joe Arenas for a piggy-back ride across the goal line in San Francisco's Kezar i
Stadium. Play was called "stopped" where Brown is standing. It didn't matter much
anyway as the Rams made a touchdown on the next play.

In Offense
New York (U.R) Army's
blazing offense is outdistancing
the rest of the major-college
field to an unprecedented de
gree, NCAA, Service Bureau
figures 'showed today. '
The Cadets, averaging 453.4
yards a game, are 57.8 yards a
game ahead of second-place Mis
sissippi, which has 359.6. Only
once ever has such a margin
been exceeded, by Nevada in
1948. : ' '
Tremendous running speed,
excellent passing to balance it
and long-range striking power
have been Army's trademarks
ever since their opening-game
upset at the hands of South
Carolina.;:
. Their ground attack is No. 1,
making 329.9 yards a game to
UCLA's 307.1 and . Colorado's
306. Their passing attack, used
sparingly, has added 123.6 yards
a game. - :
In scoring, the Cadets are se
cond only to UCLA, which has
41.6 ' pomts a .game to Army s
38.6.
Purdue Heads Passing
Other high-scoring teams are
Arizona at 38.3, Wichita at -37,
Boston U. at 33, Miami, Fla., at
31.6, Mississippi at 30.4, Cincin
nati at' 30, Denver 'at 29.9 and
Navy at 29.3.
In passing, Purdue took over
first place this week as former
leader Oregon ran into UCLA
and was held to only four com
pletions and 47 yards in 15 tries.
Purdue has gained 187.9 yards
a game, California 177.6, Mis
sissippi 167.6 and Oregon now
167.1. 1: I
California, however, is out in
front in completions, with 117,
and accuracy, with 62.9 per cent
completed. If Paul Larson, the
country's No. 1 passer, can keep
that completion percentage up
at that level through two more
games, it will be an all-time
record. .-' v' ' .'- ."
Two Tiffs Share
Topmost Billing
