QUITS AUTO RACING
London -tflPD- Tony Vander

the sport on doctor's orders.
"My doctor told me I must

his leg recently. "He was mis
sing shots by as much as five
yards. But he came through
like a champ against Pepper
dine the next night, scoring
17 points and getting 17 re
bounds." Weaver, whose Gaels now
lead the WCAC with a 2-0
mark, told the Northern Cali
fornia Basketball Writers and
Broadcasters association Mon-
visability of asking New
York's Federal District Judge
Sylvester J. Ryan to "soften"
some of the dissolution orders
of his 1957 monopoly decree,
which was affirmed Monday
by the U. S. Supreme Court
at Washington.
Mutt Sell Stock
Judge Ryan's sweeping an
titrust decree provides that
James D. Norris and Arthur
M. Wirtz, long-time princi
pals in the IBC, must sell all
their stock in New York's
Madison Square Garden Corp
And they must also dissolve
the IBC clubs of New York
and Illinois.
When the Supreme Court
upheld that decree, it deliv
ered a knockout to the IBC,
and it gave the government
final victory in its six-year
fight to bust the monopoly.
But it left the boxing world
in an atmosphere of uncer
tainty of hope mingled with
doubt doubt that the power
ful Norris group, which had
nearly absolute control over
the fight game since May,
1949, would actually yield
that control.
- In addition to the dissolu
tion of the two IBC clubs and
the divorcement of Norris and
Wirtz from the Madison
Square Garden corporation,
Judge Ryan's decree provided
that both the Garden and the
Chicago stadium open their
gates to "any duly qualified
promoter" for the next five
years.
And only a "fair and rea
sonable" rental can be
charged for those punch em
poriums. District courts will
settle any arguments over
rents.
Those provisions should en
courage new promoters to at
tempt title fights.
Shake-Up TV Bouls
Another encouraging pro
vision limits the Garden and
Chicago stadium coporations
to staging two title fights
each during any year. That
should enable independent
promoters to find available
title dates at those sites.
The decree is expected to
cause a shake-up of some sort
in the Wednesday and Friday
night TV fights. It provides
that all exclusive contracts
for the promotion of boxing
event, including non-title
bouts, are banned. The cur
rent contracts for both shows
end - in- June, but they could
be assigned to special boxing
departments set up by the
Garden and Chicago Stadium.
POSTPONE BOUT
Boston - (UPD - Next Mon
day's scheduled 10 - round
middleweight fight between

Mass., and Rock Tomasello of

day that the race will be tight
with the exception of Loy
ola, which is weak."
LaRoy Doss, Gael forward
who scored 19 against Loyola
Friday, was honored as play
er of the week along with
Stanford's Paul Neumann.
Coach Phil Woolpert of the
University of San Francisco
said that his struggling Dons
"have not lost their desire
even if they have lost a lot of
games.
Woolpert said that Mike
Preaseau. his veteran forward
was benched last Saturday be
cause "he looked a little tired
and was not playing up to his
potential."
Preaseau only scored two
points on Friday as the Dons
were losing to Santa Clara.
Coach Van Sweet of Col
lege of the Pacific disclosed
that his team was called for
"goal tending" seven times
while losing to Pepperdine,
72-64, last Friday in a game
at Los Angeles.
"Two of the calls were
made when the ball still was
in the shooter's hand," Sweet
said.
Pete Newell of California,
who had said earlier that
Washington was the team to
beat for the Pacific Coast con
ference title, made a switch
and placed Stanford in that
category.

Red Sox
Count On
Vic Wertz
United Press International
Vic Wertz, one of baseball's
"hard luck" players, is being
counted on today to bring the
Boston Red Sox good luck, on
the road this year.
Wertz, 33-year-old outfielder-first
baseman acquired
from the Cleveland Indians
last month, became the first
Red Sox player to sign for
1959 when he returned his
contract to General Manager
Joe Cronin Monday. Cronin
disclosed Wertb enclosed a
note saying, "You'll probably
find the ink is hardly dry, I'm
so anxious to play with Bos
ton." Manager Mike Higgins said
he plans to alternate Wertz
and Dick Gernert at first
base.
Pitiful Road Record
Higgins referred to the Red
Sox pitiful road record last
season when they won 22
games and lost 55. Despite
this performance the Red Sox
managed to wind up third in
the American league.
Wertz suffered a broken leg
last year and missed all but
the last month of the season.
He got into 25 games in Sep
tember, batted .279 and
knock in 12 runs.

goals the entire second half
and made all their points for
the second period on free
throws.
High point man- for Hed
rick was Dick Byrd, followed
closely by Fred Thompson
and Fred Keith, both with 7
points.
Praised by the Hedrick
coach was Phoenix guard,
Harris, who was high point
man for the game with 10
points. He was rated as a
good defensive man with a
sharp shooting eye and quick
reflexes.
Hedrick plays North Grants
Pass there Friday to try to
boost its three wins and two
losses.
