Raider Star One of Best
Despite Lack of Height
By ED FITE
United Press Sports Writer
Dallas, Tex. (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

Dick Skeeters. was tops Sun
day in the turkey shoot at Med
ford Gun club. He had seven

or more turkeys or hams.

15 N. 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.

the new circuit's life.
Pressure Felt-
Mariana said the M n t a n a
group felt Missoula's offer was
being used as a means of pres
suring the entry of Tacoma into
the new league and that the

Meanwhile, it was rumored in
Tacoma that the city would not
