To Miteff,
Nino Weeps
New York (W The man
ager of big Nino Valdes will
be ordered to substantiate of
ficially his fixed-fight
charges, made after young
Alex Miteff had won a split
decision over Valdes Friday
night in their gory heavy
weight battle at Madison
Square Garden.
William Thomas, chief
counsel for the New York
State Athletic commission,
said today manager Bobby
Gleason "will be called right
in." '
Thomas said "These- are se
rious charges and should get
immediate attention; and, if
they are unfounded; Gleason
should be reprimanded."
Gleason yelled his charges
during a hysterical scene in
the dressing room where Cu
ban Valdes wept and scream
ed in Spanish. The two wild
ly emotional men claimed the
fight should have been stop
ped because of a deep gash
on the bridge of Argentine
Miteff 's nose, from the sec
ond round on. And that even
if it hadn't been stopped, Ni
no should have been voted
the decision.
But Nino, weighing 209 Vfc
pounds to Miteff's 205, didn't
win because the "fight was
in the, bag," Gleason declared.
"Even in the ring, the referee
said nothing could help us.
I went to the commission in
the morning and told them
that the way the betting was
going we would have to win
by a knockout. I had heard
rumors that the fight was in
the bag." . .
It was a grand fight, in
which 23-year-old Miteff for
ced the action like another
"Wild Bull of the Pampas,"
although he was fighting
through a mask of blood and
through eyes that were swol
len practically shut at the fin
ish. Both Alex and big Nino
were drenched from the
three-quarter-inch nose gash,
and the referee appeared to
be wearing red glovesand his
gray shirt was smeared with
crimson.

Playing ball control
throughout, the Bears held
Idaho's Gary Simmons, the
conference's leading scorer,
to 13 points and limited the
Vandals to only three real
scoring drives.
In a twin-bill at Long Beach,
UCLA froze the ball three
times in the last four min

breezed by Southern Califor
nia, 69-50.
Lee Harman, out for three
weeks with a shoulder injury,
returned to Coach Slats Gill's
OSC line-up and his perform
ance in dribbling and ball
handling was a big factor in
the Beaver victory.

the 6-7 Corvallis kid, who
came through with the points
when they were needed. He
wound up with 24 points one
nine field goals in 17 attempts
and six out of six from the
foul line.
Gambee has five games left
in the conference and needs
only 27 points to break Bob
Houbregs' all-time three-year
PCC scoring mark.
Southern California got off
to a fast start in the first
half and grabbed a 6-1 lead
before the Beeavers took
control. Seven straight points
put Oregon State ahead 8-6
and from that point on the
best USC could do was tie
the score once.

eight-point splurge by Gam

all, 10 of the 11 OSC players

Harman showed little ef

Gambee sat out the last four
minutes.
When Goble and Moss also
were in the lineup at the same
time Gambee played outside
and connected on some long
shots. Moss gave the crowd a
thrill in the first half when
he stuffed in a shot with a
