Robinson cleared the hurdle represented by George (Sugar) Costner In Chicago Stadium last night, and It took him only two minutes and oo seconds to do it. Costner previously hod won 23 straight bouts by knockouts, and, although he was on the short end of 3-1 odds, the some what partisan crowd of 20,103 that paid $04,120 to witness the bout, expected him to make a belter showing.

I Leathernecks Collide With Redmond "5" Tonight' at 8 o'clock,' at tho post gymnasium, the highly rated marine hoopsters will take the court against Redmond army air base in a tussle that should provide plenty of excitement. In their last meeting, Red mond was on the losing end of a 57-43 score but since that time they have picked up a few play ers through transfers from the powerful Portland army ' air base team and should present a tougher combination to crack. The boys from the Barracks Lhave had a 10-day rest since their victorious encounters with Fee's Music Makers, independent club from Portland, and will be in fine condition. Lewis and Nyra, forwards for the soldiers, both scored 15 points against the Leathernecks in their last meeting in Redmond and will probably make the trip this time. The marine's have won 15 games out of 20 this season and will be out to boost their per centage standings above the .750 mark. :The public is invited to this game, and may pass through the gates unescorted. - NEW YORK Sonja Henie's Hollywood Ice Revue's Sunday matinee was scheduled for 3 o'clock instead of 2:30 because of the tremendous task of trans' forming Madison Square Garden into a skating - arena following the Millrose Games of the night before; The time schedule chart ed the job in 14J hours, but an hour's leeway was allowed be cause of tho possibility of delay in erecting the elaborate set with the novel revolving stage for Miss Henie's production.
