For Action, Use Tribvne Want Ads QUICK and EASYl By JACK CUDDY New York U.R) Big-time boxing was virtually dead in New York state today, and the great question was, "where can the ghost be shifted?" The N. Y. sport was finished for an indefinite period Thurs day night effective Jan. 15 when the Boxing Guild of New York voted formal defiance of the N.Y. State Athletic commission's ban against the guild. Under the commission's ban, no fight manager can be active in the state and retain member ship in the guild. But the mem bers voted unanimously to re main in the Guild even though it meant shifting their fighters to other states. But the proposed shift to other areas ran into a 'snag Thursday night in the person of Gov. Theo dore McKeldin of Maryland, and the possibility loomed that other governors might follow McKei din's lead. , He questioned the advisability of welcoming to Maryland fights that were banned in N. Y. state. He raised the question after Chairman Julius Helfand of the New York commission had blast ed the Maryland commission for permitting promoter Tex Sulli van to arrange to move his Mon day night TV fights from St. Nicholas arena, N. Y., to the Baltimore coliseum, starting Jan. 23 or possibly Jan. 16. Meanwhile, Madison Square Garden' Promoter. Jim Norris of the International Boxing club was expected to' announce plans before nightfall for moving his Friday night TV-radio fights from New York, state to other states. He flew in from Miami Thursday night.' Charley Johnston, president of the International guild and man ager of Champions Sandy Sad dler and Archie Moore and mid dleweight contender Eduardo Lausse attended Thursday night's N. Y. chapter meeting. After the unanimous vote of 66 members was announced, he declared, "We wanted our box ers to fight in N. Y. state. But we couldn't do anything with Seattle Turns Tables On Gonzaga Hoopsters Spokane (U.R) A fired up Seattle University basketball team turned the tables last night and led all the way to defeat Gonzaga 89-72 in a non-conference tilt here. Wednesday night, Gonzaga had upset the favored Chieftains 78-63. Guard Cal Bauer led the at tack with 22 points followed by teammates Dick Stricklin with 19 and Bob Sanford with 18. Helfand. We asked him three times to sit down and talk over the situation with us, but he said no." Johnston stressed that the 16 other chapters of the Interna tional guild in other areas are "unanimously supporting the New York vote." Ducks, Geese Inventoried Portland Annual winter in ventory of migratory ducks and geese on a national scale is being conducted through January 16 according to Chet Kebbe, chief of waterfowl, Oregon Game Commission. More than 2,200 state and fed eral waterfowl specialists will make the count using 146 air planes for aerial surveys in ad dition to motor vehicles used on the ground. Every known water fowl wintering area from south ern Canada to Yucatan in south ern Mexico will be covered in the survey. In Oregon such places as the Klamath basin, the Columbia and Snake river basins, the Wil lamette valley, Sauvies Island, and other areas where water fowl spend the winter, will be included in the .count. Field agents of the Oregon Game Com mission will participate in the inventory. Shows Distribution ; The survey is of considerable value in showing the distribu tion of wintering waterfowl and particularly shifts in distribu tion resulting from major changes in land and water man agement. Also, valuable infor mation is obtained regarding the actual numbers of birds present in certain areas and North Amer ica as a whole. This is the eighth such survey which can be considered as com paring with the counts of pre vious years. The surveys are run on a large scale, and by covering the whole continent in a two week period an accurate count of population numbers is obtain ed with little chance of birds being counted twice.

Dayton Trips Dukes 63-52; 10th in Row By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer The Dayton Flyers, who won't concede for a minute that San Francisco is the best basketball team in the nation, matched the Dons' perfect 10-0 record today by adding an impressive victory over old foe Duquesne. Thursday night's 68-52 tri umph on their home court was a victory that the Flyers,' who are ranked second nationally be hind San Francisco, wanted very badly. . For one thing, it matched the Dons' " record for this year, . al though if doesn't come close' to matching the champions' mark of 36 straight extending back to 1954. For another, it gave Dayton revenge for a 70-58 de feat by Duquesne in the final round of last' season's National Invitation tournament. Green Scores 30 All-America Sihugo Green made a brilliant effort to stop Dayton, scoring a game-high total of 30 points. In the first eight minutes, he tallied nine points to lead the Dukes to a 13-12 lead. But then seven-foot Bill - Uhl of the Flyers tipped in a rebound and Dayton never fell behind again. As Duquesne played a slow-down game to combat the Flyers' big height and speed edge, Dayton ground out a 32-26 halftime margin and pulled away to win easily in the final 10 minutes. ' While Dayton kept zooming along, George Washington, rank ed No. 10 in the nation, was Thursday night's major upset victim, 62-48, in a game against Maryland. It was only the sec ond loss in 11 games for the Colonials, .who won - the Mid winter Tournament last month. w READY-NIIX CONCRETE Phone 2-5336 or 2-5897 . C.
