Cuban Keed
Set for Bout
With Dykes
Miami, Fla. (U.R) Cuban
Kid Gavilan, who says he's defi
nitely on my way back to the
title," and lanky Bobby Dykes
of Miami tangle tonight in a
10-round television bout.
The former welterweight
champion ruled a slight 6 to 5
favorite to beat Dykes and con
tinue his bid to regain the crown
he lost to Johnny Saxton in Phil
adelphia last October.
In Top Shape
But Dykes, who just missed de
throning the Cuban Keed here
three years ago, was in top
physical condition after more
than a month of intensive train
ing and confident he could whip
Gavilan.'
Some 6,000 fans were expect
ed to pay $25,000 to watch the
nationally televised bout, which
will be staged rain or shine at
the Miami Stadium.
Pledges Victory
"I'll be fighting for the Cu
bans," Gavilan said, "and I'll
beat Dykes worse than I did
three years ago. I'm definitely
on my way back to the title
now."
Gavilan may run into trouble
with Dykes' tricky style. The
long - armed Miamian likes to
hold off his opponents with an
effective left jab and wade in
with fists flying when he sees an
opening.
But the lightning speed and
foot-work that made him cham
pion may make the difference
for Gavilan.
Colorado Mentor Plots Big
Surprise for Potent Dons
Boulder, Colo. U.R) Colo
rado, which faces San Francisco
in the NCAA basketball semi
finals at Kansas City Friday
night, is a study in competent
complacence.
Coach Bebe Lee, a 38-year-old
former Stanford star, came here
five years ago. He did not pro
duce a Big Seven champion un
til Art Bunte left him flat for
Utah.
Undismayed at the loss of such
a star, Lee taught tanglefoot
Burdette Haldorson how to be a
great center and won the confer
ence title this year and last.
Not Real Good
"We're not a real good-shooting
club and we're not poor,
either," Lee mused as he drilled
his veterans and poured over
scouting reports on the Dons,
ranked No. 1 in the nation.
Lee said his players thrive on
pressure. Almost always behind
at one time or another in the
big games this season, the Buffs
proved poised and deliberate.
They wiped out a 15-point defi
cit to win the Big Seven crown
on Missouri's home court. They
trailed both Bradley and Tulso
before winning out in the NCAA
Western Regionals at Manhat
tan, Kan., last week.
Defensively, Colorado is good.
It has not been out-rebounded
this season, and has averaged 10
more backboard recoveries per
game than its opponents.
21-Point Average
Haldorson has scored at a 21.9
clip in 23 games, and forward
Bob Jeangerard has averaged
16.6. But when the chips are
down they perform best and are
defensive masters.
Behind Haldorson and Jean
gerard as regulars are Muncie,
Ind., juniors Tom Harrold and
tals after three days of compet
ition: United States 220; Argen
tina 75; Mexico 39; Cuba 28; Bra

spikes after the 1956 Olympics
in Australia.
Now 30 years of age, Whit
field is finding it increasingly
difficult to keep in shape and
even this year he is planning to
reduce his campaignng.
"I'm gong on a tour of South
America with a special team
after the Pan-American Games,"
Whitfield said. "That will get
me in shape for the track meets
on the West Coast the Coli
seum, West Coast and Califor
nia Relays.
No Tour
"I plan on competing in the
National AAU Meet at Denver
this summer. But I'm not going
to take any summer tour to Eu
rope or any place else."
Whitfield is just recovering
from a two weeks' illness and
doctors advise him to take, a
rest.
"I'm a bit underweight," says
Mai, "and the doctors tell me
I should take a rest."
Whitfield is enthusiastic in
talking about his recent tour of
Africa for the State Department.
"It was a wonderful trip and
I learned a lot," he says, "and I
hope I helped teach them a lit
tle, too. Education in South
Africa is growing by leaps and
bounds and with it, of course,
so will athletics."
Sowell Successor
Whitfield thinks Arnold So
well, only 19 years old, is the
logical successor to his crown.
The young Pittsburgh Univer
sity star was a sensation in the
indoor meets and he looked very
strong here.
Whitfield predicted before
yesterday's 800 meter event
that the U.S. runners Whit
field, Sowell and Lon Spurrier
would finish orie-two-three,
but he wouldn't say who would
be at the front.
It ended with Sowell winning,
Spurrier second and Whitfield
just getting nosed out of third
place when he slowed up at the
tape.
Charlie Mock, who have been
together since high school.
Neither has averaged as much as
eight points per game. But
against Bradley, when it was
needed in the worst way, Har
rold hit for 18 points.
Lee has come too far with this
"nothing" team to get nervous
about San Francisco.
"We're going to win that game
against San Francisco," he said.
"A lot of people are going to
get quite a surprise."

Richard, whose fiery tempera

left a hospital bed today to an
swer for his latest outburst in
Sunday night's "Boston's Mas

Richard entered a hospital
Tuesday complaining of head
aches and stomach pains, but
officials of the Montreal Cana

his battle with Bruin defense
man Hal Loycoe and Linesman
Cliff Thompson. Campbell could
order punishment ranging from
a fine to life-time suspension. A
fine plus suspension for the re
mainder of the regular season
was regarded as the most like
ly sentence.
Touched "Off Battle
Richard suffered a five-stitch
cut on his forehead Sunday
night when high-sticked by Lay
coe. That touched off the battle
which resulted in Richard slash
ing Laycoe twice with his stick
although the Boston player drop

player to fight with his fists.
Richard also punched Thompson
when the official tried to stop
the fight.

St. Francis

in
NIT; Dayton Wins
New York (U.R) Spunky
St. Francis of Loretto, Pa., led
by cat-like all-around star Mau
rice Stokes, found itself today
the only unseeded team in the
semi-finals of the National In
vitation Tournament, but mighty
worried about Dayton's high
Flyers.
"I only hope Dayton isn't too
tall for us," fretted Coack Skip
Hughes of St. Francis after both
clubs had scored stirring victor
ies at Madison Square Garden
Tuesday night to qualify for a
meeting in the semi-final round
on Thursday.
St. Francis ousted third - seed -
ed Holy Cross, the defending
champion, in a 68-64 thriller and
second-seeded Dayton used its
skyscraper height to rack up a
97-81 victory over St. Louis, the
team that smashed the tourney
scoring record in the opening
round.
Heinsohn Brilliant
Thursday's other semi - final
will match top-seeded Duquesne
against ' fourth-seeded Cincinnati.
The winners will meet in the
final round on Saturday, with
the losers meeting in a consola
tion game.
Holy Cross, despite its seed
ing and status as defending
champion, was a one-point un
derdog. The Crusaders, sparked
by 6-foot-7 Tom Heinsohn, rall
ied from an eight-point deficit to
assume a 34-32 half-time lead
and continued to lead until
Stokes led a drive that put the
Frankies ahead, 57-56, with six
minutes left.
St. Francis upped its lead to
64-58 and then played ball con
trol to hold the advantage suc
cessfully. The cold statistics in the duel
between Heinsohn and Stokes
favored the Crusader: 28 points
to 21, 23 rebounds to 19. But
Stokes had more effective sup
port particularly from Emil
Wandishin, who sank three bas
kets and six-for-six on free
throws in the second half drive.
Thus, Heinsohn was weary in
the fourth quarter from his "one
man gang" efforts; Stokes was
fresh and still sharp.
Uhl Off Form
Dayton, despite a big height
advantage with 7-foot Bill Uhl
and 6-foot-8 Johnny Horan, had
to rally from a 33-24 deficit after
14 minutes of play. Uhl was not
operating well at all and Coach
Tom Blackburn removed him
"because I thought he had the
'Garden jitters' and needed a
rest."
Horan moved into the pivot
and turned in a brilliant perfor
mance that sparked Dayton to a
39-38 half time edge. Jerry
Koch's one-hander to open the
second half put St. Louis back
in front, but Dayton ripped off
six straight points and never
was headed. Uhl moved back
in with 10 minutes to play and
crushed St. Louis last, resist-

ance with six baskets.
Little Jack Sallee, whose out
side shooting kept Dayton in the
game in the first half while the
collapsing St. Louis defense was
tying up Uhl, wound up as high
scorer with 33 points while Hor
an had 29 points and 19 re
bounds. Dick Bouschka led St.
Louis with 26 points.
Blackburn admitted , he was
worried about Stokes, but added
emphatically, "Don't get the idea
St. Francis is a one - man team.
They proved that against Holy
Cross that was a team win."
Davton's victory moves the
J Flyers close to another shot at
the main prize in this tourna
ment a prize that slipped
through their fingers twice when
they lost in the final round, to
Brigham Young in 1951 and La
Salle in 1952.

Portland (U.R) Tom Bolles,
athletic director at Harvard, said
yesterday the Ivy league school
probably will oppose the NCAA
fnotball regional television again
this season.
Bolles, here to address a Har

son for his sahool's opposition
was that lawyers had advised
the NCAA setup was contrary to
the Sherman Anti-Trust act."
However, he added, "Prince

lawyers just as we have, thinks
that the NCAA program is per
fectly legal."
