Sweet William collides with; thumping Tony Zalc In Madison! Square Garden along about 10 1 p. m. (EWT), and, while all signs; point to a victory for the smoky-; town Irishman, there s always the possibility one of those ac cidents might happen. If the mtddlewoight boss pulls one of these, it would go a long way toward singing the swan song for Billy's shot at the heavy weight championship and a po tential half-mllllon-dollar gate, with Joe Louis In their ached-' uled return match this June. For Tony, defeat wouldn't be too tough to take. After all, i lie s only a middleweight and if he loses, It ran be brushed j off with the explanation that he ' didn ' pick on someone his size. Ho expects to come in at 163 bud the contracts call for Conn to weigh no more than 173. This ; may cause some confusion at i the official wclgh-in at 12:30. 1 because Sweet William wound ' up his training yesterday seal-, ing in the neighborhood of 178. Znle's manager. Sam Pain, said : if Conn were that heavy there would be considerable noise com-l ing from his corner. 1 The majority of the citizens : expect to see Conn do quite a painting and decorating job on 1 tho "man of steel" from Gary, i Ind. The betting boys and girls have Bill a 1 to 5 favorite, with ! very little Investing going on by the folks with a bob or two. 'Ihis corner tabs Billy as such a "good thing" he'll probably stop Zulc, say in nine rounds or so, even though, as a kayo special ist. Conn is said to be quite a ' rhumba dancer. Carnegie Tech Suspends Ban On Freshmen PITTSBURGH. Feb. 13 VP Carnegie Tech's football and basketball squads, rendered t.ni Ir .Ir nrtnrX hu M rU.pmnhfl i nrnirnm. received a figurative I 'shot in the arm" today in the i Announcement that the Plaid's j freshmen would be eligible for j varsity competition. j The Engineers were the first of the steel city's three major colleges to suspend for dura tion of the war the freshman rule barring first-year men from varsity sports teams. Duquesne has tabled the proposal but rmty adopt it. Pitt, a disciple of the Big Ten, has unofficially op posed it. Tech's decision was the best news to its mournful fans since its light football team put up a great battle last (all to hold powerful Notre Dame to a 16-0 victory ill the last of a colorful and Hard-fought series. Tartan alumni figure the move is certain to build up the manpower of Coach Eddie Baker's grid squad and ease the pain of its 1041 record of only one victory over little Al bright college in seven starts. Strict scholastic requirements keep mBny of Tech's 1350 male students out of varsity sports, but suspending the freshman rule will let Baker drawn on some 300 plebes. Great Lakes Five Displays Spirit of Navy By LOUDON KELLY DENVER, Feb. 13 IP) It's Navy. That explains as well as any thing why the Great Lakes naval training station basketball team, playing twice as many games against collegiate foes as any college team, has won 23 games so far and lost only four. Naturally, having a good share of top cage hands from a flock of universities helps but "I've never seen such spirit on a basketball team anywhere," said Lieut. Comm. J. Russell Cook during a day's stopover yesterday on the team's longest trip. Thu sailors clash with Uni versity of Washington at Seat tle Monday night. I "Technically we represent; Just the ninth naval district, but' the boys know darned well! they're playing for the whole U. S. navy. When they win, they win for the navy. When they lose, they feel they've lot (he navy down and that hurts. "Our frequent games and steady travels arc aimed frank ly at one thing to stimulate re cruiting in the navy, which de pends entirely on volunteers. The navy needs the highest type of American men and we think one of the best ways of getting them is by sending this team to the college campuses around the country.

Coach "Fuss" McLaughry has decided to dedicate Dartmouth's 1942 football program to conditioning his players for wartime tasks rather than on team victories. . "We expect to have a foot ball squad of 90 players next season," McLaughry said, "about twice our usual quota. They may not be great football players but I am going to toughen them up and see that they become well conditioned youngsters for what ever is in store for them.
