' Their report was not en couraging. "Y.A. could not stand up when he tried to," Dr. Meyer said. "It is my opinion he won't be able to play for at least two weeks, and it is doubtful if he will be able to play at all any more this sea son."

Waller's first promotion, Mexico's Mauro Vazquez vs. Jimmy Hornsby, was a fistic but not a fiscal success Mon day night at Civic Auditor ium. Hornsby lost a unanimous decision, and Waller lost plen ty of money by guaranteeing , his two main eventers. $8,750 while grossing only $8,895 on $143 won't be enough tovpay off the preliminary boys, the landlord and Uncle Sam. The bout was a farewell show commemorating the Hol lywood, Calif.," Legion Sta dium, which recently closed after nearly 40 years of box ing. The favored Vazquez, 135 Vi, floored the rangy Hornsby for an eight-count in the sixth round and had him on the verge of a KO in sev eral other rounds. But Horns by, 134V&, managed to hang on and fight his stronger op ponent to a standstill in the late rounds.

Bleachers which are movable and weigh 3D tons will be open during the opening and closing cere erty bowls are bidding for the Bulldog, who bounced back from a dismal 4-6 record last season to win the Southeast ern conference title this year. Coach Wally Butts sched uled a squad meeting for to- liam O'Grady will handle fur ther treatment here. The loss of Tittle means that secoifd string quarter back John Brodie will have to carry the load against Cleve land this week end, and prob ably against Baltimore and Green Bay on the following Sundays. Baltimore and San Francis co currently are tied for the Western division lead in the National Football league race. Georgia Coach Gets Grid Honor Atlanta, Ga.-fUPB-Georgia's. Wally Butts, who entered his 21st Bulldog season with a team loaded with question marks and ended up with the league championship, today was named Southeastern Con ference Coach of the Year by United Press International. Butts' Bulldogs, minus All Conference fullback Theron Sapp who was graduated and stellar linebacker Dave Lloyd who turned pro, were billed for a second division finish in the SEC this fall. Rated 10th , After all, Georgia was 10th last year with an over-all 4-6 record and Butts himself had said that there were no great sophomores on hand to change that picture. -. Butts underestimated his team. True, there were few sophomores. But the veterans reached new heights and when Georgia upset beefy Auburn, 14-13, 10 days ago it gave the Buldogs an 8-1 record and their first SEC crown since 1948. Carter Fayored In Ring Match Oakland, Calif.

The Minneapolis-St. Paul group threw the meeting into confusion when Charles Joh son, spokesman for the Twin City group, said they were pulling out of the AFL to join the National Football league. (UPI Telephoto) Possible Pro Grid War Seen Minneapolis, Minn; - (UPD -The . American Football League opened up a possible pro football war today with 33 college players drafted by. each team open for negotia tions before the rival Nation al Football league has as signed draft rights. The American league con cluded its first draft meeting early today. Club , owners in dicated they would begin im mediately to try to sign the players . they have drafted who have completed their collegiate career. . The National league will hold its draft meeting next Monday and cannot sign any players until then. Though the A m e r i c a n league will have an edge in approaching the players, none of the owners anticipated a bidding war with the Nation al league except for the two or three "blue chip" athletes on - each team's negotiating Sport Parade .New. York-fliPD-Coach Buff Donelli and his lowly Colum bia Lions provide a - puzzle for thousands of football fans. The Lions represent one of the world's largest universi ties, with an enrollment be tween 26,000 and 27,000. And Columbia is the only school in the five boroughs of America's largest city still playing ma jor college football. Yet the Lions are tail-end ers in the Ivy league with one victory and six defeats for the 1959 league season. They also beat non-leaguer Rutgers last Saturday. That's the picture that puz zles the faris. But it's' a picture completely out of focus. Few Students Eligible . In the first place, the only students eligible, for Columbia men's athletic teams are the 2,400 in Columbia college one of .the 20-odd schools in the university. Secondly, Donelli a stocky, dark-haired man, with a dent ed nose can not go out among New York City's 8 mil lion and tap young huskies on the shoulders and say, "Come up to Baker Field and play football for us." .The scholastic entrance re quirements for Columbia col lege are, so high that only good students who desire to become football players could be recruited to help Donelli -nob good football players who want to become students. Yes, there are scholarships ranging up to $2,500 a year if needed" for those who can get in and stay in. Donelli Exudes Optimism . This was the third season for Donelli at the Columbia helm, since he replaced the widely respected Lou Little. But waste no sympathy on Donelli. The former pilot of Duquesne, Boston U., the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Rams exudes opti mism. "I believe we'll be up there fighting for' the league title next season," he said today.

The owners expected their player payroll to be between $350,000 and $400,000 ap proximately the same as the National league teams. Lamar Hunt, owner of the Dallas franchise and tempor ary chairman of the league, said the group had contracted with the league. Hunt said also that the American league would fol low the rules used by. the Na tional Football league. How ever,' at least two of the mem bers of the league favor in stallation Of the college two point conversion rule -which permits a team to score two points after a touchdown by passing or running the ball from the three yard line. The league's eight teams New York, Los Angeles, Minneapolis-St. Paul, . Denver, Houston Boston, Buffalo and Dallas-each drafted 33 play ers. By , OSCAR FRALEY United Press International sophomores seemed to become real players. We lost to Penn sylvania, but in the last half of that Penn game we out played them. And we came on to beat Rutgers last Saturday. Those sophs and about five good men coming up from the freshman team should do very well next season." Nuclear Test Review Slated v Geneva -(DPI)- Crucial East West scientific review of hard-to-detect nuclear underground explosions will begin Wednes day in closed session. ' U.S., British, and Soviet nu clear negotiators held a 20 minute informal meeting to day to map out mechanics of the review which could "hold the key to a test ban treaty. East-West scientists were al ready here waiting for formal approval of a mutually ac ceptable plan for the review which now depends on in structions from Moscow. , The fact that technical plans were ironed out today gave hope the answer from Moscow to new American proposals presented last week would re solve three weeks of haggling over the exact scope of the studies.
