HOCKEY
Montreal (U.R) The De
troit Red Wings, who won the
regular season National Hockey
league title and then were oust
ed in the playoff semi-finals,
gained four berths today on the
1936-57 league All-Star team
against only two for the Stanley
Cup champion Montreal Canad
iens. Right wing Gordie Howe, who
won his fifth scoring title, and
left wing Ted Lindsay of De
troit, were picked with Cana
diens' center Jean Beliveau on
the forward line. Perennial All
Stars Red Kelly of Detroit and
Doug Harvey of Montreal were
on defense.
Goalie Glenn Hall of the Red
Wings rounded out the six-man
"dream team" named by sports
w riters and radio and TV broad
casters in the six NHL cities.
A place on tha first All-Star
team is worth $1,000.
BREAKS COURSE RECORD Don January blasts out of
sand trap and also blasted the 18-hole record for the
Desert Inn Country Club in Las Vegas when he came in
with a 65 making a total of 143 to lead the field ending
the second day of the $35,000 Tournament of Champions.
Arnold Palmer, Billy Casper and Jimmy Demaret are
tied for second with 145 each.
Robbins
After 2nd
Amateur Title
Pinehurst, N.C. 4U.R) Lanky
Hillman Robbins Jr., who cele
brated his 25th birthday by win
ning the medal, set out in match
play today in quest of his second
straight North and South Ama
teur golf title.
The young Air Force lieuten
ant from Memphis, Tenn., trim
med three strokes off par 72 over
the long, tricky No. 2 cham
pionship course here to win med
alist honors in a field of 141.
He was the only golfer to
whack off more than one stroke
and only one other, Keely Grice
Jr., of Charlotte, N.C., managed
even to beat par. Robbins had
69, Grice a 71.
The 7,007-yard layout took its
toll of the rest, fraying the field
into ragged scores and forcing 16
with horrendous 79s to go into
a "sudden death" playoff for the
nine remainin gslots in the
championship flight of 64.
So, counting the playoff, a
bad stroke could mean "out"
today for 39 golfers. The field
will be cut to 32, then to eight
with two 18-hole rounds Wednesday.

scenes in a motion picture of
his life because they may keep
some kid from getting the mon
key on his back."
That, incidentally "Monkey
on My Back" is the name of
the film soon to be released. It
is jargon for one with the habit.
Barney had it, bad.
"There is one real grating
scene which will give you the
horrors," he said. "But that's the
way it should be. Because, if it
does, it just might keep some
kid from ever trying the stuff
And if we help just one kid it
will be worth all the trouble
we're having."
Barney knows it can be tough
enough for some kids without
that added handicap because he,
too, came up the hard way.
Born Bernard Rasofsky, his was
a childhood of poverty. It be
came worse when, with Barney
only 14, his father was shot to
death in a holdup.
Nine years later, as he progress
ed from street fights to the ama
teurs and on to the pros, Barney
won the lightweight champion
ship by defeating tough Tony
Canzoneri. A year later he took
the welterweight title from Jjm-
my McLarnin. His career ended
under the hammering fists of
Henry Armstrong in 1938.
Stayed With Wounded
Three years later Barney was
in the Marines and then came
the night in a shellhole on
Guadalcanal which changed the
course of his life. Barney "re
fused to leave three wounded
comrades when orders came to
withdraw. When they got them
out the next day, the shellhole
was ringed with enemy dead,
but Barney had numerous shrap
nel wounds of the hands and
arms as well as a bad case of
malaria.
But the trouble started when
a well-meaning medic gave Bar
ney too much morphine.
"After that, -if I didn't get
it, I'd start aching all over,"
he recalls somberly. "So I start
ed stealing it from the medics."
By 1946, he knew he had to
do something. The craving had
wrecked his home and his life.
So Barney turned himself in
at a government hospital for
drug addicts.
"A lot of kids think I'm a
hero," he said simply. "I can't
let them down."
His real world at the moment
is in movieland's cutting room.
Because Barney Ross wants to
help fight the monkey which
once perched on his back. .

Ryan; who ruled on Feb. 6
that the IBC is guilty of monop

both from the government and
from the IBC.
They were in the form of sug

The government suggestion was
sweeping calling for the . dis
solution of the IBC and its
branches and the removal of
IBC officials James D. Norris
and Arthur Wirtz from power
in Madison Square garden. ,
IBC Suggests Leniency
The IBC suggestion for its own
punishment was, of course, much
more lenient leaving the club
in business but barring its use
of exclusive contracts with
fighters, arenas, or radio and
television outlets and limiting
it to the promotion of four title
fights per year for the next five
years.
The next step in the court
procedure will come on May 20
when Judge Ryan will hear oral
arguments from both sides in
support of their proposals. Then,
some undetermined time later,
Ryan will hand down his decis
ion as to how the IBC should
be punished.
The IBC then has the right to
appeal the case to the Court of
Appeals and the Supreme Court.
