Promoter
Loses Money
Santa Monica, Calif. - (UPD -Fledgling
boxing promoter,
Ron Waller, former halfback
for the Los Angeles Rams, is
missing a sizable chunk from
his bankroll today.
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.

Olympic Ice Arena which is nearing com
pletion, is shown as it will be during the
Olympic Winter Games. 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.

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. (DPD Jim
my Carter, former kjng of the
lightweights, is a slight favor
ite to defeat club fighter Art
Ramponi tonight when the
pair clash in a 10 -round bout.
It marks the fourth fight in
a comeback for Carter, who
now is a sheet metal worker
and weighed 160 pounds last
January. Jimmy, now push
ing 36, so far has scored a
decision and knockout over
Kildo Nunez and flattened
Irish Jimmy Smith since he
took up boxing again last
August.
Ramponi is nine years
younger than Carter and has
been orrthe regional boxing
scene since 1953. He tailed
off somewhat after making
an impressive start and is
troubled by brittle hands.
Joey Lopes and Hilario Mor
ales beat him in his last two
outings.

TALK IT OVER Frank Leahy (left), general manager of
the newly formed Los Angeles Football clubnder the
American Football league (AFL), chatted with AFL attorney
Gregory Dillon, Chicago at the League's draft meeting in
Minneapolis, Minn, on Monday. 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.

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

or three "blue chip" athletes

.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

Review Slated
v Geneva -(DPI)- Crucial East

day in closed session. '
U.S., British, and Soviet nu

the review which could "hold
the key to a test ban treaty.
East-West scientists were al
ready here waiting for formal

which now depends on in

The fact that technical plans
were ironed out today gave
hope the answer from Moscow

presented last week would re
solve three weeks of haggling
over the exact scope of the

Portland, before the annual
membership meeting of the

"Not the Episcopal church;

a hospital serving this com

preaching of the gospel." .
More than 2,000 invitations
