(U.R) Carl Ince has been tabbed as "one of the nation's best little men" but a lot of Southwest basketball fans think it might be justl as well to drop that "little." Not that the Texas Tech star guard has grown particularly since the United Press named him to the second team "Small America" for men 5-10 and un der last season, but they reason with ample justification that he's one of the best. Regardless of . a game's out come, Ince is a good bet to be the most spectacular player. Besides being a tricky dribbler, Ince sports a full repertoire of shots, ranging from a long, two hand- cu sei snot lu a unviug iayuy. And, his left-handed hook from the sideline leaves the fans gasping. . Ince's fancy dribbling played a role second only to his point- making in Texas Tech's 49-48 upset over Oklahoma A and M Sub Boxers Nqb Victory In TV Bouts New York (U.R) Middle weight Paul Pender1 and welter weight Pete Adams, two substi tutes who won upset decisions despite hand handicaps in their first television fights Monday night, were invited back today for TV bouts next month. Ex-Marine Pender of Brook- line, Mass., favored his previous ly : fractured right' hand as he left-jabbed and left-hooked to a split 10-round verdict over' blood-smeared Ted Olla of Mil waukee at Brooklyn'i Eastern Parkway arena. , Adams of Newark, N. J., whose earlier career was interrupted by the loss of four fingers on his right hand, won a majority 10 round decision over Jimmy Mar tinez of Phoenix, Ariz., at St. Nicholas arena. Coincidentally, the winner of each bout went into the ring an underdog at 2-1. Middleweight Pender accept ed the Brooklyn fight as a sub stitute for ailing Walter Cartier of. New, York. Rangy, ' brown haired, Irjsh Pender - who had had but one previous bout in three years displayed sur prising speed with his left jabs and hooks and real power with his right, on the few occasions that he risked throwing it. He scaled 160 pounds to Olla's 16012. Pender, who ; was released from the Marines on May 15, fractured his right hand while outpointing Larry Villanueve on Aug. 3. Monday night's bout was the first since the injury. Matchmaker Teddy - Brenner off ered . Pender and- manager Johnny; Buckley a 10-rounder with Paddy Young of New York, ex-middleweight contender at the Parkway on Jan. 17. Buck ley said 24-year-old Paul was tentatively dated for .a match in Boston on Jan. 6, although the opponent had nof been nam ed yet. ' .- - Meanwhile at St. Nick's arena; Adams scaling 153 pounds to Martinez' 155- forced the fighting with a jabbing and hooking attack to 1 head and body. Martinez back-pedalled rapidly during the later rounds. Matchmaker ', Tex Sullivan asked Adams to meet Dreyer in a TV bout at St; Nick' on Jan. 24 or 31. Skeeters Paces Turkey Shooters Dick Skeeters. was tops Sun day in the turkey shoot at Med ford Gun club. He had seven wins. . .'--. , . . . Twenty-nine others : won one or more turkeys or hams. - No shooting is planned on Sunday, December 26. However skeet and 16-year activity is set for January 2. Sunday - winners - other than Skeeters were Paul Culbertson, Virgil -Bewley, George Jantzer, Sam; Jennings, Henry Nieder meyer, Charles Bendell, Bill Hervey, Martin Clogston, C. O.

CENTRAL . PH. 2-2970 last week. Ince kqpt the ball from the desperate Cowboys al most for a full minute in the closing stages. He and Jim Reed led the attack with 14 points each. He also had a big hand in Tech's wild 111-103 upset of Furman, grabbing second high scoring honors with 21 points. And Saturday night against North Carolina State, he led Tech with 20 points as the Raid ers dropped their first game in seven starts to the Raleigh team 85-74. He held-his opponent to 11. Ince has sunk 24 of 28 free throws and 48 of 101 field goal attempts for 120 points in those seven games. Made All-Conference Both Ince and Reed made All Border Conference last season, Ince sewing up his selection on Tech's invasion of Arizona. The Red Raiders beat University of Arizona on its own Tucson floor for Tech's first triumph there since 1936 largely on the basis of Ince's 22 points. He came through with 24 points the next night in a win over -Tempe State that pushed Tech over the hump towards the championship and the NCAA playoffs. . Ince is strong defensively, too. He generally draws the other team's best offensive threat un less, tha't player towers more than five inches more than his own 5-10. Under that, he pretty well holds his own. Voted Six Berths On Pro All-Star Grid Crew - Jiew York (U.R) The De troit Lions , and Cleveland Browns and the team that held those two powerful clubs to a total of one touchdown the Philadelphia Eagles today filled 13 of the 22 positions on the 1954 United Press all-star professional team.
