month - long international
derby, which got under way
Jan. 20.
THE KLAMATH COtJNTY high
school basketball tournament, the
blue-chips extravaganza that caps
a full three months of cage ac
tivity, is snaping tip as we best
in many years.
The tourney Is less than a month
way, scheduled for Feb. 21, 22

. Let's take lust a cursory look-
see at the eight schools in the big
iiue snowaown.
OS THE RECORD, Sacred Heart
must be given the favorites' role.
The Trojans, short on height but
long on swift and scoring talent,
have a 14-game win. streak cook
ing and have yet to finish on the
debit side of a score.
But the tournament where the
champion is Dlcked and aU teams
go all-out proverbially brews up
sets. ' :- J

gaining recognition as the dark
horse of the field. That team is

Just how far the Panthers have
come can be better determined to
morrow night when Sacred Heart
visits tee new unuoquin noor.
The Trojans pasted Chiloquin
with a rather convincing 52-28
score early in the season. 'But a
lot has happened since then and
Chiloquin is rated at least an out-
aide chance to topple toe au-con-amering
Trojans.
ANOTHER GOOD bet in the
tourney is Bonanza.
The Antlers were rated on a par
with Sacred Heart when the sea

blown hot and cold.

Sacred Heart, with its 14-stratght

Speaking of Fistic Snubs. . .

NKA Sports Kditor
NEW YORK tNEAl In these
days of upside-down match-making,
when a fighter gets kicked
upstairs for losing, Archie Moore
hasn't a Chinaman's chance.
Moore for five years has been
the number one challenger for the
light - heavy weight championship.
Yet the closest he has come vo
a crack at the crown was a match
with Bob Sutterfield two years ago
in Toledo, where he knocked out
the then second-ranking aspirant in
the third round.
Moore, a 34-year-old St. Louis
Negro operating out of Toledo and
San Diego, is Uie champion of
Australia and South America
His best weight is 173 or 174
pounds, but he concedes as much
as 92 pounds and flattens heavy

WASHINGTON Of! A heavy
weight title match between Cham
pion Jersey Joe Walcott and Harry
"Kid" Matthews backed by Las
Vegas. Nev., Hotel Operator Wil
bur Clark has - been tentatively
agreed to, but whether the fight
ever will, come off Is anybody's
guess.
There was at least one resound
ing "no," and even the "yes" votes
were cered with if's.
The decision was announced late
Wednesday at a news conterence
that raised far more questions than
it answered.
Reporters were called into a
suite at the Shoreham Hotel for a
conference attended by Harry
Hunt, a Los Angeles promoter; Fe
lix Bocchicchio, Walcott's manager
and Jack Hurley, who manages
Matthews, an up and coming Seat
tle light heavyweight. '
OFFER
Bocchicchio said Hunt had made
this offer:
He said he'd give us $250,000
and give me 50 per cent of every-
ming."
There was a catch to the ac
ceptance, though. Bocchicchio said
Walcott had a contract with the
International Boxing Club, and
that he will go to Coral Gables,
Fla., on Saturday to talk with Jim
Norris, LBC president.
Bocchicchio said Morris would
have to match, or better. Hunt's
offer to get the fight.
Harry Markson, director ot Dox-
tag for the IBC, promptly said In
New York:
CONFIDENT
We are confident Bocchicchio
will fulfill his contractual agree
ment to fight Ezzard Chrles for
the heavyweight title for the IBC."
Here are a few of tne questions
which never got a definite answer:
When will tne Dout De neia?
Some time in May.
Where? No answer nere, out
Las Vegas, Nev., Los Angeles and
Philadelphia were mentioned as
possibilities.
Who Is Harry Hunt? Hunt re
plied he'd done some promoting.
No, ne a never promoiea a iigni
before.
Who are his backers? Hunt him
self said he'd rather not say, but
Clark said In Las Vegas inai ne
was the one Hunt was represent
ing.
