TOP COMEDIAN for the Harlem Globetrotters and incidentally quite a pivotman in thi
his fourth year is Robert Hall. Hall is a product of Detroit's Brewster Center, which spawned
many great Negro athletes, and came up through the Trotter's farm system. A favorite of
the fans with his driving play and horseplay, Hall will be seen here Dec. 7, when the famous
cagers meet the City League All-Stars in one of two games on Pelican Court. The Boston
Whirlwinds, led by renowned Bill Spivey, face the Klamath County Independent League All
Stars in the preliminary.
Here's How Globetrotter Comedy Was Born
once a good Trotter lead was
established. Hie move was highly
successful. Not only were the Har
lemltes given a "breather," but the
fans got a terrific kick out of the
proceedings and even the opposing
teams slowed down to watch the
fun,
Fans attending the huge basket
ball show at Pelican Court Dec. 7
when the fabulous Harlem Globe
trotters take on the City League
All-Stars know they are In for l
dazzling exhibition of comedy as
well as playing finesse by the Ne
gro wizards.
The mirth - provoking stunts,
along with the brillinnt ball hand
ling and passing of the Trotters,
has come to be an Integral part
of their appearances, and are, in
a large way, responsible for the
team's tremendous drawing pow
er. More by accident than design
came these comedy didoes.
Back in the early days, the
Globetrotters carried only five
players, in contrast to their pres
ent large squad. Owner-Coach Abe
Saperstein accompanied the team
in the varied role of owner, coach,
business manager, trainer and gen
eral handy man. In addition, he
served as the team's lone sub
stitute. Playing games against strong,
rugged home squads eager for on
upset victory over the famed quin
tet, plus the arduous schedule call
ing for games every night (some
times twice a day) and traveling
through blustery winter weather,
began to wear down the Globetrot
ter players too early in their sea
son. Saperstein, In an attempt to
slow down the pace of play in a
game, started injecting more ball
handling and the comedy antics
The new Ingredients remained
with the Globetrotters through the
years as their trademark of "the
team that a different."

Br JACK HAND
NEW YORK W Vince Martinez
moves on to a January date with
Carmen Basilio or Rocky Casillo
and soldier Chico Vejar goes back
to Ft. Benning Monday morning.
That is the new result of last
night's lively 10-rounder at Madi
son Square Garden in which Mar
tinez won a unanimous decision
with bis quick hands and stabbing
jab.
Vejar was down for an automatic
eight-count from a right to the
jaw in the second round of the
bout witnessed by 7,319 fans who
paid $27,267.
RALLY
After tthe knockdown, Chico ral
lied strongly with a swarming body
attack that should have pleased
the TV viewers back at camp.
Martinez and his manager Bill
Daly were pleased with the Pater-
son, N. J., welter's new-found
ability to time himself.
Too often in the past, Martinez
has bounced away to a fast start
and then slowed to a walk in the
stretch. He- did that last March
13 when- Vejar upset him in the
Garden.
PUZZLED
Vejar puzzled the customers by
switching to left handed style in
the sixth. Instead of confusing
Martinez, it set him up for some
solid right hand punches.
There was a strong home town
following from Stamford, Conn,
for Vejar who weighed 150 2 to
149 y2 for Martinez.
Referee Petev Scalzo and Judge
Frank Forbes scored it 6-4 and
Judge Art Aidala 6-3-1, all for
Martinez. The AP card had it 6-2-2
in favor of Martinez.

This Football Upset Paid Off
HOUSTON, Tex. iff) A school
whose chief benefactor apologeti
cally explained his gifts had
amounted to only 25 million dol
lars, not 210 million, had another
$2,225,000 from him today for a
football victory.
The school is burgeoning Uni
versity of Houston and the oilman
philanthropist with football fever
is Hugh Roy Culler-.
The oilman, pleased with the
school's football win over Baylor
last week, announced his gift yes
terday at a campus pep rally for
today's game with Texas Tech.
The great spirit and determi
nation shown by the Cougars last
Saturday in defeating Baylor fills
me with enthusiasm and prompts
me to do something for our great
university," Cullen said. .Nobody
doubted his enthusiasm when he
said a few minutes later:
I have decided to give the uni
versity $2,225,000 in oil payments."
Cullen explained that campus
improvements needed to obtain ac
creditation from the Southern
Assn. qf Colleges and Secondary
Schools would "put the university
in the red by $830,000" and the
money was to "help this situa
tion." The school's football team, going
into last Saturday's game with a
record of two wins, three losses
and a tie, pasted a 37-7 defeat on
Baylor, then ranked ninth national
ly in the Associated Press poll.
Cullen, chairman of the univer
sity's board of regents, already
had given the school abo.ut 25 mil
lion dollars. In 1947 he and Mrs.
Cullen established a 160-million-dollar
foundation for educational,
medical and charitable purposes.
Last June, the oilman issued a
formal statement in which he said

he was embarrassed by published
reports he -had given the univer
sity from 130 million to 210 million
dollars. This was not true, he said,
because the gifts amount to only
25 million.
Yesterday's pep rally, which
school officials said was the lar
gest ever held by the 11,000
student university, was in the audi
torium of the four-miflion-dollar
